With phrases like this and others I've heard over the last couple of years it's kinda making me think they'll use a phrase like this as they shut up shop and wave good by. Maybe even claiming their being called home. So they sneak out the back door.

I read somewhere that Russell said it about his movie he put out and that around the same time or after someone in Bethel was putting out a course that one could buy to make you a expert Bible peddler . The idea was to go out peddle the troof and get paid to do it by the people you teach , selling them WT books etc. The troof at some point was really a door to door sales job and being an expert in this was equivalent to having a college education.

Did Jesus pre exist? Yes or no?
by UnshackleTheChains inwhen i first became a witness, i always found the teaching about jesus being the arch angel michael hard to swallow.
i did however believe that jesus pre existed as a master worker alongside god (the first of his creation).. but now everything is brought into question having watched anthony buzzard explain why jesus could not have pre existed as it is impossible to pre exist yourself.
also the fact that it all sounds contradictory to suggest, he was already alive millions of years before he was transferred to mary's womb to be born as a human - the son of man?.

The Ptolemy 's created a god (Serapis) so they could try to united their empire under one religion.
The Romans did it years later using the same God but adding some traits from other popular gods . Then took it farther by outlawing all other religions.

The Watchtower's Real Crisis
by JeffT inwhen discussing the watchtowers financial problems, i've generally been of the opinion that they probably are not in a real financial crisis.
i've come to believe that money may be something of an issue, but its wrapped up in a much larger problem.
this came to me this morning when reading about the annual meeting.. i think the society's leadership is just plain out of ideas.

This religion would just slowly dry up and blow away except one major elephant in the room, child abuse litigation. The coming lawsuits is what's going to push this cult down hill even faster then a slow death. It will still be years but one or two bid wins that show the lawyers that it can be done and it's all over.
The San Diego case is a big one because it involved and elder. As more come up where elders or MS were the abuser then the cults in big trouble!!!

They have been downsizing a lot over the years. The biggest tell that their loosing money or just don't want to spend any anymore is when they dropped the missionaries as well as closing a branch in African near countries where their growth was still double digit. This also made me realize this cult really is all about the money. Because other wise why would you stop where your growth is good unless you realize there no money to be made in these third world countries.

My son asked me after a partook one time if I believed in heaven? I then realized he didn't even know that some JWs are supposed to go to heaven. I think a lot of JWs go to the meeting sing the first song then sit down and check out .
