  rutherfords book enemies 1937: "will great britain and america become fascist under catholic control?

  the scriptures and the facts support that conclusion..." where will rutherford hide the bethel family?.

  watch 82 8/15 p.10 ".....as a precuation for the saftey of the bethel family, a place of refuge was built in south lansing new york...it was never needed for that purpose...{rutherford's "scriptures" prophecy failed}...later it was transformed into gilead missionary school..." {by knorr and franz}.

  2012 District Convention Watchtower Summary - Quotes

  by wannabefree in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  here are a few select editorialized quotes from the watchtower summary as presented at the 2012 district convention.. this is from the march study edition, 3/15/2012 page 25, "do not look at the things behind".

  i found these first two disturbing as they seem to instill fear, especially in children.

  lot's wife suffers painful death by having a scalding brine poured on her (is that how the bible puts it?).

  These statements are not in the March 15th Watchtower.

  "Lot's wife suffers painful death by having a scalding brine poured on her (is that how the Bible puts it?)
  
  Houses the kids pass while in school bus will soon be empty, no more people"

  Isn't the Watchtower conductor told specifically to NOT make additions to the material?

  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.

  The name of the series is "Thinking Allowed", I like that.

  For The Watchtower it is "No Independent Thinking Allowed"!

  at some point it was removed by youtube.

  it now shows the message, "this video has been removed as a violation of youtube's policy on shocking and disgusting content.".

  Some people can't believe that the "You Will Be With Me In Paradise" recording is that of an actual talk given by a Watchtower representative.

  Here is a comment made by someone about it.

  I grew up as a JW, and went back a couple years ago to some meetings to see how things have changed. This doesn't sound real to me, I don't believe this is real. This person is full of hate. Is there any proof that this is a real talk given at a convention? Since it is just a recording and someone says it is this and that,? does that make me believe it, because I don't.

  Awhile ago a poster here remarked that Ciro Aulicino went directly from grade school to Bethel!

  He is now 81 years of age.

  Ciro's whole life has been with The Watchtower.

  I do not know how to ask this politely, but I will ask it anyway.

  Is Ciro Aulicino a nut?

  The Circle of Zero , by Stanley G. Weinbaum (1936)

  If there were a mountain a thousand miles high and every thousand years a bird flew over it, just brushing the peak with the tip of its wing, in the course of inconceivable eons the mountain would be worn away. Yet all those ages would not be one second to the length of eternity.
