rutherford preached that world war 2 would end with "fascist catholics" taking over the world and jehovah stepping in.. his book enemies 1937 "...will great britain and america become fascist under catholic control?
the scriptures and the facts support that conclusion...." so ruthrford made some bombshelters..... watch 82 8/15 p.10 "...as a precuation for the saftey of the bethel family, a place of refuge was built in south lansing, new york...it was never needed for that purpose....later transformed into the gilead missionary school.".
watch 81 12/15 p.28 "rutherford believed that intense persecution may require them to leave headquaters.
What I would like to know is:
If Beth Shan, Beth Sarim were built to house the returning "ancient worthies", resurrections by God would be required.
I thought resurrections came after armageddon....................so........................Why would they need bomb shelters.

let's start this over...in the right direction.. thanks to simon for providing this forum where we can discuss our experiences and issues with the wt society and the jw religion.
anyone that knows anything about me at all knows that i'm not an ass kisser, but i think we forget what a pain in the ass it must be to keep a forum like this going.
sure, most forums have flame wars and personality conflicts from time to time, but a forum about sports cars, motorcyles, basketweaving, and needlepoint don't have the same emotions and pain expressed in their subjects as this forum...as any ex-jw forum, as any ex-cult forum... does.. we're mostly a group of people who have been ostracized by family and so-called life long friends.
I too would like to thank Simon, Angharad, and the mods.
It's a thankless job and you do it well.
Many, many thanks.

i've been watching the new dvd and it is a bull fest about russell.
i haven't even gotten half way and they already excluded one very important bit of information.
you'll recall that russell "lost" his faith and "turning away from church creeds and searching for truth, russell examined some leading oriental religions, only to find these unsatisfying".
Excuse me, Joker 10
I must say if you have nothing else you have hide.
You are a JW apologist who only comes on here to deride us
but you have the cheek to ask for a link to a DVD you will get at the
DC. WOW.
here on jehovahs-witness.net i have come across theists, atheists and those that are agnostic that all claim to be friends because they're ex-witnesses like it is all that is needed for religious unity.. .
why isn't this on the ad?.
because every atheist i've talked to believes jehovah's witnesses are just another organization of stupid adults with imaginary friends, just a splinter of mainstream christianity a lot like the branch davidians.
We love you too Alice.
I would be embarrassed to be a Republican right now.
I would also be very embarrassed to be Minimus.
based on this video shot from seattle, i think this 17-year african american teenage girl acted beyond normal expectation.
she is seen threatening or attempting to hit a law enforcement officer who was doing his duty.
the officer had to hit her face.
If that was my child I'd kick her ass myself.
Amen

My sympathy is 100% for the cop.
The girls both looked well over 17.
If they were mine I would be totally ashamed both with their behavour and their filthy mouths.
he said he is sorry and had tears in his eyes.
i almost feel sorry for him.
all those men/clergy/priests that professed to love god that turned their back on god and did such horrible things..it is dispicable.. all the children that they hurt... http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100611/ap_on_re_eu/eu_vatican_priests.
So what is he doing about it?
A commentary I heard yesterday said he is doing a lot of talking but not changing anything.
Big help!
