joseph and mary were not in a spiritually adulterous relationship with the roman authorities, the "legs of iron".
joseph and mary were not perfect.
the governing body of the modern-day organization of jehovah's witnesses is not perfect.
also GB fearmongering about +/-30,000 JWs fallen to "deadly plague" while GB simultaneously boast "Jehovah's blessing upon his people" throughout the covid pandemic.
and growing numbers of JWs suffering accelerated deteriorations, including death, after obeying GB endorsement of the golden calf vacca-cines
so my grandparents got a letter from a jw.
they have gotten these kind of letters over the years and they always give them to me and this time i got fed up and i wrote the guy back.
just wanted to post my reply letter in case anyone could use a chuckle on a sunday morning.
Yes, dish it right back at JWs, and then serve them up a return visit with more.
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.
Bible Students... = B.S.
definition of deep state.
: an alleged secret network of especially nonelected government officials and sometimes private entities (as in the financial services and defense industries) operating extralegally to influence and enact government policy.
the power of the deep state comes from experience, knowledge, relationships, insight, craft, special skills, traditions, and shared values.
Odd how over the decades, WT has encouraged millions of JWs to pray that 1Tim2 prayer... now they are all experimentally jabbed. lol
we seem to be if a more secular society here in the west, these days.
i'm speaking from the uk.. with the lack of belief in god/s, i'm wondering if all the seeming (note: i said seeming!
), deification of people like greta thunberg, george floyd and celebs amongst others, if people who have no real belief system, are filling the gap left by god with people?.
Nobody really knows exactly how to "please God"
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 ....
Did CT Russell fake his own death and resurface in the spirit as vienne?
CT Russell was a false prophet, unworthy of admiration, unworthy of proper burial. He was the illegitimate self-appointed sperm that spawned the hideous & harmful apostate corporation that this forum was established to expose.
If you Russellite apologists, under the pretense of "historical accuracy", are here stroking off glamorisations for the false prophet founder of WT, you and your disgusting lot will eventually do the same for other corrupt WT cult personalities, in the name of "historical accuracy"...
Apologetic slanted "facts", as yours, are counterproductive and inhibit recovery from WT cult programming.
If you intend to press on here with your sick defense of false prophets, expect the more and unrelenting ridicule due a false prophet.
Please stop, maybe start your own forum elsewhere, and take your untenable devil's advocate apologetics with you.
Your pyramid stone awaits.
Was it another cringeworthy watch?

No, vienne, we are not interested in these research expeditions to persuade us over into your apotheosis of a false prophet.
What was stated against him is drawn from his own self-damning recorded testimony in a court of law, under oath. Fact check complete. We need nothing more.
Even if your flattery of the man was valid, and it is not, it only further implicates him as an bizarre shameful cohort of copious false works which have unremorsefully deluded and misled thousands by means of personality worship and charlatanism.
Don't be an apologist of the obsolete.

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.
