Rutherford was dismissed by Russell in 1915. He gave Rutherford 1500.00 and the Judge went to Los Angelos where he set up a practice. Russell knew he was trouble.
What??!!! Never heard of this before. You are joking, RR, right?

in the "you can live forever" book on page 191, it states.."why can we (in capitals) be certain that god has a visible organization?
one reason is that he has an invisible organization.".
duh?
This is an example of invisible logic!

someone already posted this one, but it was sent to me by a "friend" who no longer communicates with me and then sends me something like this from the circuit assembly.
guess she thinks that now that i am "inactive" i may need this little wake up call.
Hi blondie,

the watchtower has published articles telling people not to shop at thrift stores, salvation army stores, etc, because the items purchased might have demons attached!.
experiences have been published by the wt, and particularly the awake!,where people are reported to have been bothered after bringing the used items home.
to only relief was after the objects were taken out and burned, usually after several attempts when the object would not catch fire!.

What I want to know is this: What is the origin of the idea inanimate objects can have demons attached to them?
It is NOT in the Bible! In the Bible it is mentioned that demons invaded, took over, or whatever, living animate beings, either people or animals (plants are not mentioned, but plants are really not that animated!)
So where did the Watchtower receive this great Wisdom? From where did they get the idea? Since it is not in the bible, can the WT be accused of adding to the scriptures?
How did they make this superstitious belief, along with the reported experiences (legends), credible?
Or will the JWs believe anything printed in the magazines?
The Watchtower has always had a fear of demons (particularly Woodworth, the editor of the Golden Age, now Awake, magazine, who also demonstrated a great fear of the metal aluminium).
Orchestrated superstition in order to control the people! And the people buy into it!

if you're a dunderhead on neo-babylonian history (like me) you've probably remained totally clueless whenever the subject of the chronology leading to back 607 b.c.
since i had nothing better to do today, i decided to finally take the time it takes to understand why dub chronology on that date is wrong.
this piece of information alone should give you a clue about how bored i am!.
Hi peacefulpete,
I posted a thread a while back that illustrates that 70 years of banishment was a Caananite motif used by other nations.
Could you give a link to this thread? Sounds like good information, to be saved.

the rule on having "large gatherings" was stupid.
because some people abused a "christian get-together" that had a lot of people, we could only get together in smaller groups.
Hi blondie,
No plastic boots/moon boots
What was their reason for no moon boots?
I don't think wearing moon boots would would be objectionable, especially in a cold environment, and I do know moon boots are NOT spoken against in the Bible!
Some elder's personal opinion?
