  Where it all went wrong for the WT - JF Rutherford

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was thinking a bit about this the other day.

  ct russell, from what i remember about him, kinda seemed like a genuine, nice(ish) guy, although he had a few eccentric but harmless ideas.. during the russell era jws (actually bible students) could still celebrate christmas, worship in other churches if there was no kingdom hall available, and accept blood transfusions.. then after russell died, along came rutherford - a major league a-hole, for sure.. rutherford had plenty of eccentric ideas but at least some of them weren't/aren't harmless.

  some have been long forgotten about - jesus depicted without a beard, the plan to rename the names of the week because names such as thursday (thor's day) is pagan, the articles about the 'dangers' of aluminium, etc.. one key contribution of rutherford which does a lot of harm is no blood transfusions, even in life-threatening situations.. another is shunning, something which never occurred under russell, or at least was much milder.. rutherford has a lot to answer for, i reckon ....

  He completed no formal theological nor collegiate education, and was not legitimately ordained.

  He is not, and never was, accredited by any reputable institutions of authenticity.

  He appointed himself, just like modern broods of WT charlatans.

  You know this.

  He was just a fairly decent fellow that published his thoughts, and managed to garner a misled following. It happens.

  He is now long dead, as is his debunked eschatology.

  Take heed.

  Whatever level of "bible training" he had, it was certainly not enough.

  how many of you know greg stafford and his youtube channel "christian witnesses of jah"?

  .

  i really like his style, always calm, respectful of the holy scriptures and firmly based on them to analyze the teachings of the wt from which he disagrees.

  Why would you post that rubbish here, Bart

  Just because the teachings of some gent may contradict WT, such does not make his teachings true.

  Same can be said of endorsing the teachings of your charlatan sweetheart Greggypoo.

  Smoking gun GB can’t get out of this one

  by Mikejw in

  2. beliefs

  here in 2022 if anyone says anything against the vaccines even a little bit you are almost apostate.. someone once mentioned all vaccinated sports stars collapsing and someone else said not to speak badly about the gb or by extension jehovah.. the gb can’t get out of this one, it’s gone too far.

  it’s now the case that if you speak against the vaccines you are speaking against the gb and by extension jehovah .

  GB did not 'decide' anything... they are only puppeting whatever US secular authorities are doing in regard to the jab/masks bs.

  faithful and discreet slave appointed in 1919?

  by enoughisenough in

  2. beliefs

  12 when did jesus appoint the faithful slave over his domestics?

  to answer that, we need to go back to 1914​—the beginning of the harvest season.

  as we learned earlier, at that time many groups claimed to be christian.

  Right, and no outside neutral third parties can corroborate who/what "Jesus selected"

  The only people concluding that Jesus selected the governing body of an US corporation are the governing body of said US corporation.

  The appointed themselves knowing Jesus would, as always, remain silent.

  Its a big circle jerk sham.
