GB has dealt treacherously with Younger Anointed!
by IslandWoman in
1. jw
2. friends
the younger anointed (those who came in after 1935) in the organization are treated by the gb as both a whore and a beloved wife.. the whore: for years they have published articles whose intent was to denigrate the younger anointed.

as a result many of these younger anointed ones have had to fight a spiritual uphill battle with their elders and circuit overseers because the watchtower paints them as falsely claiming spiritual union with the christ.. .

the beloved wife: yet, it is from this group of younger anointed that the gb has picked 5 members of the governing body!!

Why is Jehovah allowing his name to be disgraced?
by IslandWoman in
1. jw
2. friends
jehovah's name, the very name associated with jehovah's witnesses is being disgraced, trampled upon as never before in the organization's history!!.

in the past jehovah's witnesses have been reproached for standing up in defense of jehovah and his word.

jehovah's name was sanctified at all costs and it appears from their history books that jehovah was making a good name for himself by means of their integrity.

MORE ON 1975, FOR MUSKY
by Liberty in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
along with musky's 1975 post i've just seen another so i wanted to try and reach musky again and reach others who wonder about the reality of the society's 1975 speculations.

af and others have done an excellent job documenting what was actually said by the watchtower society through their own official publications and spokesmen.

as a person who was actually there in those heady times of the late 60's and early 70's these official documents confirm what my memory tells me i knew all along, that of course the society actively promoted 1975 as a "marked date" or a date of "great significance" at the very least.
