  oh, those big bad bible students, taking over the world, a big threat to christianity as we know it.

  that was the gist of rev.

  robert c. hill, christian apologetic, who decided that there wasn't enough being done by the christian community to combat the resurgence of "russellism".

  So, RR, do you believe these things that Russell wrote? or "has the light gotten brighter" for the BS also?

  It seems my post was overlooked.

  My question is sincere. Russell proposed MANY dates, and I am curious how they are viewed by the BS?

  In the III Volume in the Studies in the Scriptures "Thy Kingdom Come"... I've pasted a short summary of the "dates":

  They have shown us that since 1873 we have been living in the seventh millennium; that the lease of Gentile dominion, "The Times of the Gentiles," will expire with the year 1914; and that the advent of him whose right it is to take the dominion was due in 1874. They have shown us that in the days of these Gentile kings, before their lease of power expires, the God of heaven will set up a Kingdom, and that the setting up of that Kingdom has actually been in progress since the year 1878; that there the resurrection of all the dead in Christ was due; and that therefore, since that date, not only is our Lord and Head invisibly present in the world, but all these holy messengers are also with him. And observe, farther, that this date of the resurrection of the dead in Christ parallels the date of the resurrection of the Head of the body. Our Lord's resurrection occurred three and a half years after his advent as the Messiah, in A. D. 29; and the resurrection of his body, the Church, we have seen, was due in the year 1878, three and a half years after his second advent, in October 1874.
  We have marked, too, the fixed dates to which the Prophet Daniel calls attention. The 2,300 days point to 1846 as the time when God's sanctuary would be cleansed of the defiling errors and principles of Papacy; and we have noted the cleansing there accomplished. We have noted the fulfilment of the 1,260 days, or the time, times and half a time, of Papacy's power to persecute, and the beginning there, in 1799, of the Time of the End. We have seen how the 1,290 days marked the beginning of an understanding of the mysteries of prophecy in the year 1829, culminating in the great movement of 1844 known as the Second-Advent movement, when, according to the Lord's prediction, the wise virgins went forth to meet the Bridegroom, thirty years prior to his actual coming. We have seen the fulfilment of the predicted tarrying; and for fifteen years the midnight cry, "Behold the Bridegroom!" has gone forth. We have marked with special delight the 1,335 days, pointing, as they do, to 1874 as the exact date of our Lord's return; and we have since that time experienced the very blessedness promised ? through the clearer unfoldings of the wonderful mysteries of the divine plan.
  
  Then we have seen the great harvest work, in its appointed time and order, beginning in the autumn of the year 1874, gradually and silently, but rapidly, progressing. We have marked the bundling and binding of the tares, and the gathering of the wheat. And what blessing and joy come to us in the assurance that since the summer of 1878, when the King took his great power and began his reign by the resurrection of those who slept in Jesus, it is no longer needful that his members should "sleep" and wait for glory, but that for each the moment of finishing his course in death is the moment of the joyful "change" to the full perfection of the divine nature and likeness.

  I agree that I was disfellowshipped out of their own agenda.

  I'm OK with it, but of course, I've lost my whole family and childhood friends because of it.

  I guess, I just wanted to post this to let others know that they can disfellowship you for ANY reason they want.

  Their decision to disfellowship me was not bible based. The whole policy of forbidding association is not bible based.

  I just find it amusing how they "pick and choose" which scriptures they will use. Which ones they take literally, or use as a "principle". It bugs me that they'll use the old testament laws as "principles", but they "pick and choose". For example, they use the "two witness" rule (principle) based on the old testament, yet a couple of chapters over, a scriptural passage deals with rape and how only one witness (the victim) was needed to stone the rapist.

  They use the bible, the religion, as a weapon.

  SO AM I !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  I was planning on a fade, but I have a BIG MOUTH. I was so shocked by the UN thing... I found it unbelievable! I researched that one like crazy!!! It was the straw that broke the camels back.

  JWs eat drink with DFed DAed apostates wordly people at this event.

  I didn't even think of the Memorial. But technically, they still obey this scripture, 'cause they all gather and no one eats or drinks

  Sirius, yes it was pretty pathetic.

  This was the sole reason I was df'd. I live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, but this took place in a small town.

  I often wonder if there was "more" to this decision than meets the eye. My sis, had lived with me prior to her leaving, and we were living together, AND eating out for more than 3 months before the jc.

  I had found out about the UN connection, and wrote a letter to the Society. About 3 weeks later I got the standard reply. Then I fired off another letter asking them a few questions... mainly about my research about the Library's use, and they didn't have to be an NGO. It wasn't an attacking letter, and I was in full standing in the cong.

  3 weeks after I sent THAT letter, I was called for a jc. Crazy huh?!?!?

  But instead of grovelling like that, you tried to use a little logic and common sense. That's independent thinking! They can't have people using their God-given brains to navigate difficult circumstances in their lives.

  OMG Gopher, you should have seen their faces!!! I still chuckle to this day - the confused, perplexed looks

  Gadget LOL Ironically, she's just DA'd herself, BUT I'm the raving apostate.
