Remembering Rutherford

he seems to me to be the angriest and most ill-tempered of all the wt presidents, especially after his stint in prison and failed prophecies.. “regarding his misguided statements as to what we could expect in 1925, he [rutherford] once confessed to us at bethel, “i made an ass of myself.”” watchtower 1984 oct 1 p.24.

Thanks Earnest, I didn’t realize you were a baptized Witness that still associates.

Maybe I was thinking of Frank and Ernest :)

What Were You or Someone You Knew Counseled For That Was Ridiculous?

back in the day, tons of witnesses were brought in the “back room “ to be counseled by elders because of their dress and grooming.

some elders frowned on mustaches or hair that went past a certain point on a male.

women were regularly harassed because their skirt was too long or too short or had a slit on the side.

Ahh, blowjobs while married…question is did they counsel you about it because the wife wasn’t involved?🤭😎

Why did Lloyd Evans say in one of his latest video

by mickbobcat in

so i was watching an evans video he just put out where he was interviewing a man about how the cult treated his daughter who was rapped as a criminal.

the man said his wife's first experience with an apostate site was here.

i could tell by the look on his face he did not like that site and then could not help himself and said that he could not recommend going to this site.

I didn’t mean his accent, lol. He sounded like he loved hearing himself talk.

Earnest, after rereading Farkel’s topic, I really enjoyed your research and way of putting things.👍👍

Earnest, I may have been thinking of someone else, Roland? Anyway, just to straighten me out, what is your background? We’re you ever a JW or Russellite group?

Dis, you really need to think about what you are saying. Either you are being humorous or you are just unreasoning.

The Society takes all the money from Kingdom Halls , conventions and assemblies as well as any donations including wills, homes, jewelry and anything of value. What a racket! And they are tax exempt. They have enough money to pay off molestation charges. With all the research you do, you should know these things and if you don’t know it, look it up. I have the feeling that no matter what you see, you will defend the Organization. Regarding the biblical sense of being a false prophet, they clearly are and they continue to speak in the name of Jehovah while they bear false witness. Everytime they teach what a prophecy means and then simply change their minds they are nullifying the prophecy. For many many years the “anointed remnant” prophetically pictured or were foreshadowed by something and just like that a few years ago. Witnesses were told to ignore a lot of their past pronouncements as they couldn’t say for certainty what a prophecy was meaning. BS! If you as a Witness questioned whatever their prophetic understanding was and didn’t accept their view, you were disfellowshipped for apostasy!! Prior to 2010 they weren’t a cult to you? They fulfilled ever definition of cult prior to and including now.

I just read this thread. I’ve seen him on tv and he presented himself pretty well except for one thing, he seemed to love the sound of his voice.

Disfellowshipped family members were always interesting. If elders had family members that were disfellowshipped, they would not push the issue. If not, you would get the Gestapo, I like that, on your back. Some bodies were regularly counseled to the laxness of them implementing the Society’s rules.
