"I guess it's because we are all half asleep or so well prepared with the book that we forget to actually compare it to what we know the scriptures say"

You are soooo right. That aspect never occured to me before. I remember studying that book, I looked up all the unquoted scriptures and prepared very well. Of course that was my all time favourite book. But as you said I just didn't compare.

Thanks for the insight.

That came for me when I was made aware of the deceit of the quotation

below. Although I was brought up a dub I was not aware that until 1929 they were teaching Jesus had returned in 1874. So how could they say

In Chapter 131 Page of the Greatest Man book:

‘ The manner in which Jesus has just left the earth is without public fanfare and with only his faithful followers observing. So he will return in like manner—without public fanfare and with only his faithful followers discerning that he has returned and has begun his presence in Kingdom power.

And in chapter 132 of the same book it says: ”A careful study of Bible prophecies, including Jesus’ own prophecy regarding the last days, reveals that “the Lord’s day” began in the history-making year 1914, yes, within this generation! So it was in 1914 that Jesus returned invisibly, without public fanfare and with only his faithful servants being aware of his return . In that year Jehovah gave Jesus the command to go subduing in the midst of his enemies!

Undisfellowshiped,

That was sooooo good. I loved the way you pointed out, with judicious highlighting, their continuos brainwashing. All the time they said it was Jesus or our creator or the Bible that made this 1914-generation promise. And of course if we had questioned that doctrine at any time we could have been disfellowshiped for ‘causing divisions’ or apostasy’. Thank you, like so many others I have kept your latest great post.

once again, my wife left some of her wt literature within easy reach of yours truly, ostensibly in the hope that i'll pick it up and reappraise.

it's bookmarked with the current week's study material; anf frankly, if anything can reinforce my inclination to stay away, it's this drivel.

does it not dawn on any of these that all this hallucinogenic blather about 1918, 1919, 1922, etc.

Isn't the old geezer on the left Ted Jaraz.

if my husband and i were to shuffle off this mortal coil anytime soon there would be a fair amount of money to be divided between our witness relatives.

what do you think about this idea?.

we give everyone between $50,000 and $100,000 each on the condition that they read both of ray franz's books.

qwerty dear qwerty,

You must our dear lost nephew. We have been looking for you everywhere.

You would not have to answer those silly questions. Just a sample of your DNA.

well i got me a copy of the new wt 2001 cd rom, and started looking at it and learning how to use it.. this was the very first thing i stumbled across, which was a thing that always bothered me.

those of you who saw me and watched my phases as i left will remember that this topic was a major issue for me.. .

here is the article, in part:.

Hi Jonadab'

You said:

"If you want to use this line of reasoning you may as well ask why Judas Iscariot was allowed to be one of the 12 apostles".

It appears from reading the Bible that Jesus knew Judas' heart before choosing him. In fact Judas was chosen to fulfil prophecy. Perhaps you could enlighten us as to which prophecy the men I mentioned [Chitty Greenleas, and Ray Franz] fulfilled.

I am not criticising any of these men, but the GB saw fit to remove them. If they were appointed by the Holy Spirit were the GB not presumptuous in removing them?
