In 1942, Dale was baptized as one of Jehovah's Witnesses. His faith was central to his life, family, travel, and work. The worldwide brotherhood of Jehovah's Witnesses was truly Dale's tightest community, up through the day of his death.

Those who know Dale Baker know that his name is synonymous with cars. Dale loved cars his whole life. As a teenager, he rebuilt a Ford Model T, by hand, so that he'd have a car to drive when he turned 16. He spent his life working his way up in the car business, going from selling tires from the basement of a dealership to the owner of several dealerships across multiple states. His flagship business, the Dale Baker Motor Mall, was a staple in the Grand Rapids business community for over 25 years.

And his daughter Amber Baker married Judah Ben Schroeder.

Allegheny Pyramid Desecrated

by RolRod in

sometime within the last 2 weeks, someone took a sledgehammer to the pyramid monument in allegheny.

they stole the topstone, smashed the cross and crown emblem and removed the seal.. personally i'm surprised it lasted this long untouched.

although through the years russell's grave has been vandalized, it was always repaired by the bible students..

I don't see how this is relevant to the WTBTS and it's history or the Bible.. Russell didn't put himself in the pyramid. His followers created that.

I do not understand why people would wear jeans like that in public. Why would people buy jeans with holes in them? Around the house, for doing yard work or other work is fine.

But it is horrible to wear jeans with holes in public.

Come on, people. clean it up

Ex-Elder Joe Talks to JW's "Babies enemies of God"

I don't see the controversy here.

Psalm 51:5 says NIV "Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me."

So yes, It is true that children are evil and sinners that need to be saved.

As such they are enemies of God.

Zedekiah has nothing to do with the Gentile times. It had begun before his reign. The scriptures say so.

2 Chron 36 13 " He also rebelled against King Neb·u·chad·nezʹzar,".

Zedekiah was not sovereign if he could rebel against Nebuchadnezzar.

Note 2 Chron 36 concerning Jehoahaz "the king of Egypt deposed him in Jerusalem"

the king of Egypt made Je·hoʹa·haz’ brother E·liʹa·kim king over Judah and Jerusalem and changed his name to Je·hoiʹa·kim; but Neʹchod took his brother Je·hoʹa·haz and brought him to Egypt.e

Sounds like that is when the Gentile times began.

As for the OP's question. There was a question from Readers about this. Do your research.

by Newly Enlightened in

a pimo elder at bethel has come forward with a special message posted on reddit.. https://www.reddit.com/gallery/v9mgao.

the dated pictures attached are "proof conclusive" that this is for real.

no outside guests are allowed inside bethel at this time.

That is there to do at Bethel anymore?

It is not a book and magazine printery, so they don't need as many people so they don't need as much support staff and food.

" this is not an organization run by God"

Who ever said that it was?

It is an organization that uses the pattern of the Christian congregation from the Bible but they added much to it.

Preaching the Good News with Rising Gas Prices?

by truthlover123 in

jw
friends

i fear this could put an end to travelling a territory due to rising prices- where i am located in canada, we are now paying $2.08 per liter .

now since there is 3.79 litres in one gallon that equates to $7.88 per gallon... .

how many in a car group will kick in?

Rattigan350

I remember back in the 80s people would give the drivers a dollar each. Now, people won't want to drive or will be asking for money.
