  Prediction- JW's will create their own Social Network Site

  by Skinnedsheep in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  with their advancement into web based programming and their soon to be broadcast meetings the need for a physical meeting place is quickly diminishing.

  i predict that the large scale sell-of of kingdom halls will begin in the next few years as the people get their meetings online.

  the one thing that would be missed with a liquidation of kh halls is "upbuilding" association which will force the society into creating a jw social media app which will not only allow for association but close monitoring of the pubs.

  Watchtower sitting on potential goldmine of millions of non-JW memorial attenders

  by yadda yadda 2 in

  2. beliefs

  last year's "letter from the governing body" (on jw.org) notes:.

  "last year, the memorial attendance was 19,241,252. how encouraging to see so many honor jehovah and jesus christ by attending the most important meeting of the year for gods people!".

  that's about 12 million or so non-jw's who go to the memorial only, a good % of whom are evidently at least somewhat sympathetic or curious about the jw's, but for various reasons have no desire to commit to the religion.. .

  Some interesting points when considering Russell's masonic activities.

  by oldguy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this will be the first time i have communicated with former witnesses in this manner, so please be patient with me as i figure out how this all works.. it would be great to find a brother in scotland who could trace the membership records of the knights templar division of the masonic lodge that russell belonged to.. if indeed he was a 32nd degree master mason in the order, then he would have been practicing secret rituals for a considerable number of years during his adult life in order to achieve the title of master mason and being referred to as "worshipful master".. small wonder he was so determined to have his father (a mason with powerful contacts) on board the original bible study group.. makes it somewhat more understandable how he was able to give lectures in carnagie hall, and attract financing donations during the early years of the society.. what more could the rich families in america that supported the early zionist movement ask for than to support zion's watchtower and it"s elitist form of heavenly class distictions.. there are claims that joseph rutherford was also a member of the same masonic lodge as his mentor charles russell.. all this begs us to ask can a rotten tree ever produce good fruit?

  or can a crooked tree be made to grow straight?.

  welcome your thoughts and comments.

  Thank you for enlightening us about them. I knew the Masons factored in at the beginning, and someone had said, "well, yes, but they're not now." My question was, "when did they stop". Another poster had said that in some of the older books that a mirror image revealed masonic emblems.

  My best friend died yesterday

  sometimes people make special connections to animals.

  sometimes they bond very deeply and are real friends.

  yesterday was the end of such a friendship that lasted ten wonderful years.
