Wactch Tower Society Corporation and Attorneys Vested Interest At Heart
by mind blown ininasmuch as the united cemeteries corporation---of which russell was a trustee-was later found to be a dummy corporation for watch tower assets.. .
"and did you not take title to property as a dummy for the watch tower society?".
in 1910 one of the friends of our society, who had raised some of this wheat, sold it for seed at $1.00 per pound, and donated the proceeds to our society.

Attention Governing Body: October 2, 2014 is only 940 days away...
by Alfred inin 1823, john aquila brown (a man who is not mentioned in any wt publication) came up with a bizarre mathematical calculation which totalled 2,520 years (in an unauthorized attempt to predict the end of the gentile times).... several religions recycled this bizarre calculation, including the adventists and the bible students... when armageddon didn't come on the variety of early 20th century dates predicted by several "dooms-day" religions of that time (including charles taze russell's bible students who predicted that the big a would start in 1914), they all finally realized that this 2,520-year calculation was nothing more than arbitrary mathematical speculation derived from erratic biblical extrapolation.... except for the bible students who continued to move up the date for armageddon 2 more times (1918, 1925) and then decided to use wwi as the starting point for the "last days".. all the while, one thing that seems to remain intact is the october 2, 1914 date.
oddly, for the watchtower bible & tract publishing cult, this particular date still marks the end of the 2,520-year period (that john aquila brown referred to in his bizarre 1823 book "the even tide")... again, no mention of this in any watchtower publication.
but, for jws, that date still remains the starting point for the period of time often referred to as the "last days" or even "the generation that shall not pass".. because of this, the governing body has been forced to change the definition of "the generation that shall not pass" countless times since the early 1970's.

What were the "anointed" doing from John to Russell?
by Ding inin watchtower teaching, what were the "anointed remnant" doing between the death of the apostle john and the coming of pastor russell?.
during all those centuries, there was no visible organization publishing watchtower literature so as to enable people to understand the bible.
there was no organized worldwide door-to-door preaching work being done (who assigned territories and kept track of time records, for example?).

WT Mar 15th 2012 - 144,000 no longer a literal number?
by dozy inreading idly through this magazine , i read the study article "rejoicing in our hope" which discusses the two "hopes" according to the wtbts ie heaven & earth.. a couple of points were of interest:.
(1) absolutely no mention at all of the 144,000 or rev 14. usually an article like this would be filled with references , but it isn't even mentioned.
it does discuss the "limited number" , but only in contrast with the "no man can number" great crowd.. (2) a much more laid back attitude towards the two hopes.
