Todays serious interpretations of the WT, would be laughable likewise, in another 25 years.

C T Russell and His Numerology.
by Lost in the fog ini came across this older wt which i assume c t russell wrote the article.
unlike modern practitioners of numerology who calculate a value for each letter of the alphabet, russell simply adds up the number of letters in each word to arrive at [horror of horrors] 666.. and he lists there on the page each one of the organisations that must accordingly be part of the great harlot with 18 letters [in english] in their titles, because 18 is clearly 6+6+6 or 666!
strangely he hasn't stopped to think about another possibility for an 18 letter title.

The Genesis account again proved WRONG
by opusdei1972 inaccording to the watchtower's insight encyclopedia : .
the catastrophic destruction of men and animals by an overwhelming flood in the days of noah, 2370 b.c.e.
this greatest cataclysm in all human history was sent by jehovah because wicked men had filled the earth with violence.

Here are my 2 cents regarding the Noahs flood.
Only 8 people in Noahs family were good. All other people, all over the world were evil ? Ridiculous. This shows the geographical ignorance of the Bible writer
An angel of god, killed 184K Assyrians in one night. Given this power, why would that same god flood the entire world to kill the supposed evil people? It’s like flooding the home to kill the bugs.
All the species of the earth got into the ark? Doesn’t sound practical. There are millions of species –including mini bugs - and getting everything into the ark in pairs and maintaining them in a global flood is a mere fairy tale.
How about the food storage for all the species in the ark? Did Noah collect them too? Different animals eat different things. What about waste disposal? Only 8 people maintained them?
The bible says the ark floated above all the tall mountains of the earth. Then it should have floated above Mt Everest. In that height the air becomes thin, making it difficult to breathe, unless you have an Oxygen breathing mask. All the species survived that condition, got out and repopulated the earth?
The whole Noah story - as like most of the ridiculous stories in the bible – is an insult to any thinking person

What about the women 144.000, there are few of those too, where are they in this picture ?
Revelation 14:4 : "These are those who did not defile themselves with women, for they remained virgins.
Also, I m curious about their headbands. What does that signify ?
Reminds me of theme park Wristbands -

Do We Get A Clean Slate When We Die? (Watchtower View Examined)
by Sea Breeze inthe watchtower teaches that the opportunity to be born again and enjoy complete justification with god ended in 1935, having been limited to only 144k since pentecost.
so, it is very surprising that the watchtower embraces the death that is described in romans chapter 6, since this is the very death that is required to be born again…… which is denied to watchtower members!
romans chapter 6, verse 7 is about saying goodbye to the old personality, the “old man” in the king james version.

He did however, create us in his image
If we were created in gods Image, shouldnt we all be invisible.
Why do we feel hunger, thirst, get diseases, suffer and die if we were created in his image.
Suffering and death due to Eve eating an apple, because a snake told to do so. Thats a silly fairy tale.
Immortal soul - Just a wishful thinking of humans.

A JW family of 5 I think, died in a plane crash near Buffalo -New York sometime in 2009. The plane stalled and fell from the sky spiraling down and critics said that was the most frightening death.
How about the thousands of JWs that were systematically tortured and killed in Nazi camps.
And there are incidents where JWs were mauled by dogs and died in road accidents, during field service
And Jehovah watches these silently ?
A rational thinking person would not accept it

A 'typical JW' story
by joey jojo ini am friends with an elderly 'worldly' woman, who was unaware i am an ex-jw.
she employs a jw husband and wife pioneer couple for odd jobs around her house- mowing, cleaning etc.
the couple has been working for her and her recently deceased husband for years.. just before the 2019 international convention, despite the fact that the husband was fighting his last battle with illness, the couple kept asking him to attend the convention with them.

My Ex-JW friends - whom I considered as family - stopped talking to me after I got Disassociated. It has been 10 years since.
Thats the way JWs operate. Like Programmed Robots.

Watchtower Society's progression of Pirate Black Beard after his resurrection
by RULES & REGULATIONS ingood news from god!.
lesson 6. .
what hope is there for the dead?.

For those who still believe in the resurrection.
Once dead, there is nothing that gets back to life. Nature has been teaching this for billions of years.
The Biblical resurrection accounts are pure religious propaganda lies. The Bible itself proves it to be lying. How?
ICor 15:42: So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised up in in corruption.
If that is so, then Lazarus was resurrected without Corruption (Without Sin) and a person without sin is perfect and should be living eternally. Why did he die again ?
Hebrews 9: 27 and as it is reserved for men to die once for all time, but after this a judgment
As per above, death is only once for mankind. But why did the resurrected people of the Bible die again?

new series "The Good News According to Jesus"
by neat blue dog inthis concept was leaked here not too long ago, and it was just announced at the next section of the 'annual meeting' on jw broadcasting.
they allude to it being a half hour series and say that it will cover literally every detail in all four gospels in chronological order through the course of all episodes.
they also insinuate that it's the most ambitious project yet (i guess making use of that new media production facility).

I am anxious and Eager to watch the portion where Jesus extracts 2 devils from a man and injects them to a herd of pigs and all go running up the hill and jump into the ocean and commit suicide.
Should be quite Exciting.
