  1961 1962 higher authorities

  by Marcial in

  are there among you, dear friends, a specialist in american associations from around the 1950s -1970s and a little more?

  to find out from what years in the usa the first subsidies were granted to religious congregations and other non-profit or charitable associations?

  why this question is that i just thought that there is perhaps a link between doctrinal clarifications over the years and government innovations to support or subsidize these supposedly charitable religious organizations or certain qualified ngos?

  My impression is that Fred Franz was never sold on Rutherford’s teaching on the “superior authorities” in Romans 13 and that he was eager to change it once Rutherford died. Why he had to wait until 1962 is a bit of a mystery to me. I can only imagine there was resistance from Knorr or from someone else in a powerful position, or perhaps that Franz himself saw some use in waiting.

  I think it’s interesting that the NWT in 1950 already inserted the phrase “relative positions” in Rom 13.1 which lends itself to the new understanding that the “superior authorities” are governments rather than Jehovah and Jesus. This makes me suspect the new light was already in the pipeline as early as 1950. It still leaves the question why wait until 1962 though?

  No it’s still there.

  If the Jaracz video is indicative of the kind of videos LE is capable of producing all by himself then he may be in for a bumpy ride.

  I suspect his “holiday” might be extended and he’ll find it difficult to get into the practice of producing his own videos. Maybe he’ll just give up, as he did with his blog, but allow the money to keep rolling in on his Patreon for as long as people keep sending him the free money.

  I don’t know if he will be back on Twitter because it doesn’t do anything for him any more. He doesn’t get the adulation he used to get. Even he is getting wary of posting gratuitous photos of his small children for likes. It doesn’t drive a lot of traffic to his channel and therefore doesn’t make him money. He has to spend a lot of time reading people make truthful comments about his behaviour before blocking them. I can see why he’s grown tired of it and doubt that he will be back any time soon. He will pretend his departure is a principled stand against Elon Musk or something stupid, of course, compulsive liar that he is, rather than face the truth that he burnt all his bridges and can’t stand the heat. Was that too harsh? Ha!

  Shutting down his Patreon - his access to free money from the gullible - is the very last this he would do, ever!

  Thanks MillennialDawn for your input. If this wasn’t the reason Jaracz was removed as branch overseer in Australia, do you happen to know what was the reason he was removed?

  Technically it is a criminal suit that has been requested by him. So until publicly it comes out the government isn't going to pursue he can make that claim.

  In what universe does a request for something equal the creation of that something. If I asked Scarlett Johannson to marry me does that mean we’re engaged until she says no? Why are we pandering to this man’s warped logic? He’s an idiot plain and simple. He’s got away with being an idiot so long he doesn’t even know the difference but that doesn’t mean we need to join him.

  1974 and all that

  i came across this footage recently whilst searching for something completely unrelated and it blew me away!.

  it's from the august 1974 convention at murrayfield, edinburgh and you can clearly see the stage set up still keeping the 6000 years and 1975 mantra going.. what makes this very personal for me is that i was here.

  Very interesting, I believe I have a relative who was baptised at this convention.

  Yeah he never mentions Andrew Gold or Dr Sohom Das, funny that. 🤔

  Maybe it’s just as well he takes numerous holidays this year because they way he’s crashing his channel he might not be in a position to take as many holidays next year.

  Maybe he should interview Johnny the Bethelite hiding in the cupboard💡 (very old reference there for old timers)

  The wheels are coming off the LE channel faster than ever and he’s lashing out as a result. The only thing he can come up with is a rambling video about old rumours that everyone’s already heard about. Next all he can think to do is take another holiday, bury his head in the sand and hope enough people keep sending him their money that he doesn’t need to find another income. He knows that the pivot away from JW topics won’t attract much interest, but he can’t stand the topic any more so he’s at a loss what else to do. So it’s back to blaming other people and kicking the can down the road with yet another holiday. If I was Dijana I’d be worried that she’s not going to receive anything at all from him to support her kids. If she’s wise she’s already factored that in and is working on living independently. The idea that such a lousy partner will turn into a responsible ex-partner who attends to his financial responsibilities is farfetched to put it mildly, and presumably she has adjusted her expectations accordingly.
