by smiddy3 in

the first 3 presidents of the i.b.s.a ./ jehovah`s witnesses / wtb&ts.. w.h.conley ,c.t.russell ,j.f.rutherford .. how many jehovah`s witnesses know that ?

how many ex jehovah`s witnesses knew that ?

the wt society teaches that jesus returned to begin his "invisible presence" in 1914 directing his attention toward the earth as ruling king.

The first 3 presidents? Washington, Adams and Jefferson? They had no idea.

If you mean presidents of the WTBTS, Russell, Rutherford and Knorr believed Jesus became king in 1914

"Now they (in particular Kenneth Cook) are saying that Jesus will deliver the judgment at the Great Tribulation, but that he will do so on the basis of evidence and consideration of actions leading up to the Great Tribulation, just as a judge takes time to consider the evidence before delivering his judgement."

This is exactly what is taught now. That the separation is future but based on what people do now. The future separation is the judge deciding from the evidence of what the people do with the Bible truths that they hear now.

Will Adam Eve be resurrected? If not why? WT tell us.

"since the supreme judge never makes a mistakes, there is no need for him to take under.

How would anyone know? No one knows what Adam looked like. The only thing he would have would be the memories of what happened from creation to his death. People would be mad at him for putting humanity through 6 thousand years of this.

Did prohibition prohibit the drinking of alcohol or just the manufacture and sale of it?

for those who think the organization is going more mainstream think again.

so eating a leftover birthday cupcake is as bad a sin as peter betraying jesus!

Fadeaway1962, I think that people have misinterpreted the whole UN thing. They are antiWatchtower and just look for anything they can use against them.

This celebrating birthdays is one of the things that I left for. It is too pharisaical. While I think celebrating birthdays is sill and needless, teaching children that taking a piece of birthday cake is disloyal to Jehovah is being a pharisee.
