Quote: "Some Bible Students knew this was wrong, and broke away. But soon after breaking away, they "faded and came to nothing”".
This isn’t actually true – there are still a quite a few of the old Bible Students around to this day.
In broader terms , I've heard the old Joshua & Caleb argument but it doesn't wash with me. Taking the accounts at face value , back then it was clearly evident that Moses had God's backing - the Israelites had just witnessed 10 plagues & numerous other miracles. In contrast , there isn't a shred of evidence that the WTBTS has any evidence of God's spirit , rather a vast amount of evidence that they are just a group of (perhaps) well meaning men.

.2...Example 1: 1st century "governing body" told Paul to ceremonially cleanse self before talking to Jews. He must have known it wouldn't work, and in fact it didn't work, as they tried to kill him & he had to appeal to Caesar. But that opened the way for him to give a witness in Rome. The 1st century "governing body" weren't thinking "what's the best way to get Paul to Rome", but it worked out that way - Jehovah used them to accomplish his will..."
This makes no sense - I'm surprised I'm surprised.
Jehovah told the Governing Body to tell Paul to ceremonially cleanse himself to talk to the Jews, which he knew wouldn't work so Paul would have to appeal to Casear and would be transported to Rome and imprisioned for 2 years and probably killed.
Couldn't He just have have given him the camel fare or something?

Isn't that the trap of Religion, belief in things that are myth and in many cases dangerous idealogies, hell it hasn't stopped Catholics and Protestants from heinous activities against each other and indigenous peoples.

Things Jehovah apparently is incapable of doing:
Providing camel fare for his servants
Teleporting his servants to Rome
Speaking plainly and directly with his people
Keeping his people off of Facebook
And the list goes on. . . .

> But soon after breaking away, they "faded and came to nothing."
Citation needed.
The WTS loves to make comments like that without actually providing examples. What exactly does it mean to "come to nothing"?

FYI,
"Faded and came to nothing" is just my recollection of the tone of his words - it's not an exact quote, and most likely not what was in his outline.
He said the story was in the '64 Watchtower, July 15 maybe? Anybody have a WT-CD handy?
