Answer = when it started to become a religoius publishing house. (late 1800's)
The spirit of god is not with false prophet apostates/charlatans
at what time would you say that the watch tower schema lost the spirit?.
like the ancient nation of israel which struggled maintaining divine blessing due to a long series of grave errors that eventually culminated in definitive loss... how and when did watch tower lose the spirit?.
can we pinpoint a time or event?.

Back in the old days the WTS sustained itself over literature sales and other self made items such as tapes, records, DVDs etc. $$$
They too pushed for donations as well, some gave up land and other high valued assets.
If you really think about the WTS/JWS is an organized commercialized scheme wrapped up and presented in righteous virtue. $$$

This food was tainted with pretentious lies and commercialism to promote the proliferation of the literature the WTS published. ...........eckkk
it is a new book, now available on their website in pdf, and it is basically an update to survival—into a new earth!
(1984), the book that convinced me to get baptized at age 12.. i'm not going to review the entire book here.. because matthew 28:18-20 specifies baptizing as part of the great commission, and because hebrews 6:1-2 lists the teaching on baptisms as among the primary doctrine about the christ, i intend to focus on the portion of the new publication that deals with baptism.. in chapter 16, on pages 178 and 179, paragraph 17 states:.
17 to survive the coming destruction, individuals need to prove their faith now.
Wasn't it really about worship of the Watchtower Corporation, a false prophet organization of charlatanism with leading and controlling apostates creating false commercialized doctrines luring people into the organization for exploitation and manipulation ?

Delusional stupidity at its finest.
a new fox poll says biden is up by 12 percentage points.
of course, most other polls say trump will be trounced this time around.. do you think the polls might be right this time?
.
Yes based upon the midterm elections and the over 40 different polls recently conducted all across the country.

You know, as an excuse to act contrary to Jesus Christ's teachings.
Well said Anna
my mother became a witness right after i was born.
1951. i was indoctrinated from that time forward for 50 yrs.
during that time i did not hear anything about the 2 witness rule as applied to child molestation.
The two witness rule without a confession was put into practice on many so called sins or bad social behavior, not just child sexual abuse.

I do like that one about treating others as you would like to be treated yourself.
Sure there are indeed valuable socialized concepts which are still useful and beneficial for mankind, the basic tenets of Christianity are just that.
But before those were established there were the ancient Hebrew socialized laws of behavior which many were simply not , such as ......
Children who dishonor their parents should be put to death.
Children should be punished by striking them with a rod or stick.
A rapist against an unwed girl can buy or pay a dowry to the parents of the girl and marry her even if she does not want to.
Serious hurtful crimes against people can be dismissed without paying a penalty if the said perpetrator does not admit to the accused action and there were not two witnesses to the event.
The list goes on and on.

Quite impractical to emulate the social standards of behaviour of the 3000 year old ancient Hebrews , human knowledge has expanded quite a bit since then.
