A Modest proposal to solve the 1914 problem

by r51785 in

throughout watchtower history dates have been a problem.

the usual solution for failed prophetic dates has been to kick the can down the road.

this needs to be done with 1914. the generation that will never pass away is now 110 years old and therefore is past its useful life span.

LaFrancia

The guidelines were these listed below, or something similar.

1° article - The faithful and discreet slave appeared only after 1919, so the understanding about 1914 was not a slave teaching.

2° article - The Bible Students prophecy about 1914was not fulfilled, in fact they expected that the end would come in October 1914, but this did not happen

3° article - Nebuchadnezzar's dream cannot be used to calculate 1914 , because it is not specified in the Scriptures. See explanation on how to use types and anti-types.

4° article - Does this mean that 1914 no longer matters ? No, the prophecies of Jesus began to be fulfilled from 1914 until today. Mattew 24

In reality they already have something in mind. A few years ago a series of 4 W articles on the topic of 1914 and Types and antitypes were in preparation. In some Branches these articles based on 4 guidelines were being prepared. I don't know if they'vebeen approved or are still waiting for them to bereleased.

brother jackson visits the italy branch.to all the missing brothers and ex-brothers greetings stay healthy!this week brother jackson from world headquarters is visiting rome and bologna where the new branch will be built (by now the watchtower has turned into a multinational construction company and the old days are just a beautiful faded memory).the bethel of "italian/dissident/fugitive/spiritual" witnesses (active, but who do not agree with the organization's policies and directives because they are unscriptural) which has only a virtual location on the internet, (john 4:23, 24) will inform with a simple report this weekend.these are routine visits, but sometimes information of interest to the lord's servants can come out by mistakegreetings.

At the end two speeches. The first from a very young black brother Michael Banks. Anything interesting

At the end brother Geoffrey Jackson and a speech of normal routine.

There are more things to hide than to say. That's why these special events aren't special at all except behind the scenes behind closed doors

Nothing, nothing important to report. Usual routine talk. No mention of removing brother Anthony Morris from the governing body. No mention of the Norway case and no mention of the problems in the US over accusations that he covered up named accused of being pedophiles. There is no transparency but theocratic propaganda continues

**The only thing to mention is that they have begun to train young people in visits to the area, in fact, the black brother Michael Banks or Benks who works as a secretary in the office of the teaching committee ((?! ) He's very young in his 30's or so to look at. The entire show lasted just over 2 hours which I find unusual. Maybe they shortened the length of these events? Can anyone confirm from other nations or countries?

good day everyone

Articles of Association and bylaws - 2020

by abuonconsiglio in

we read the "articles of association and bylaws - 2020".

here in italy, an anonymous claims that this is a message that wt sends periodically to very old congregations.

these congregations have their property and didn't accept the rutherford's resolutions about the choice of the elders.. he tells that they follow the doctrines but refuse the authority around organisational aspects.. is it true?.

LaFrancia

this letter covers only old congregations of Jehovah's Witnesses dating back to the 1800s and early 1900s. They are reported to be congregations with special status. The governing body tries to have the property surrendered every year, but these congregations do not yield. This is what is said among the Bethelites.
