  Rutherford's death and "the evil servant"

  by Old Goat in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i became a witness a few years after rutherford died, so i know little about the events right after his death.

  i found this in the march 1942 informant:.

  "the effort of the demons is to scatter the lords sheep and to wean and lure them away from the lords theocratic organization and thereby cause them to fail of performance in the lords strange work.

  An elder in California (age 60 plus) said that the Pyramid Monument was put there by "The Evil Slave."

  My understanding is the pyramid was placed there by The Watchtower, so what the elder said is very likely correct, but not in the way he meant it!

  The Great Debate: "Has Science Refuted Religion?

  by dark angle in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  just want to share this amazing debate!

  caltech cosmologist and physicist sean carroll teams up with skeptic magazine publisher and science historian michael shermer in this epic debate with noted conservative author and king's college president dinesh d'souza and mit physicist ian hutchinson as they go head-to-head over one of the most controversial issues of our age.

  as science pushes deeper into territory once the province of religion, with questions such as why there is something rather than nothing?, where did the universe come from?, how did life arise?, what was the origin of morality?, and others, inevitable conflicts arise over the best approach to answer them.

  Elder says, "So-and-so is no longer one of Jehovah’s Witnesses”

  "You are my witnesses' says the Lord, 'And my servant whom I have chosen'" (Isaiah 43:10)

  Elders, STOP saying a person is not a Witness who Jehovah has chosen!

  No Baptism For Military - but How About Law Officers?

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  does the wts sanction baptism of gun carrying law officers?.

  does being a cop or prison guard or any other occupation requiring the carrying of a weapon.

  disqualify a person from personal dedication to jehovah according to the fds?.

  No baptism for Military?

  What about Cornelius the Centurion? He and his household were baptized.
