Its amazing how well the watchtower rewrites history and then simply forgets the truth of their pass. Don’t be surprised if once you show them the cover it won’t make a difference, in fact they’ll probably get upset with you for daring to claim that the WTS isn’t the true religion. There are lots of old Watchtower Main-study articles that deal with that very subject of the 1914 generation won’t pass away before the end comes, but of course that was before the new light.!

JW's use Rose colored glasses to see each other.
by The Lone Ranger inhave you ever noticed how jws look at each other through rose coloured glasses.
no jw can do any wrong in the eyes of other jws.
even when its obvious that a jw has done wrong, they are always righteous to other jw"s, as long as a jw gos to meeting and does field service then he must be right with god and therefore must be right in the eyes of others jws.

Example, in the case of a marriage break up, if you know that the husband has done bad even being violent, if the wife stops going to meetings then it ‘Proves’ that the husband was right and everyone looks down on the wife because she has stopped loving God since she stopped going to meetings, and if you say something against the husband they look down and you for suggesting that a JW was wrong. what a Joke !
You guys understand what I mean?

Anyone tried to get your congregation records?
by karter inim curious as to what they say about me.. any one tried and succeeded?.

I did ask once for my record card, although the secretary wasn't happy about it, I asked the other elders and they couldn't see anything wrong with the request, after all, its my record card, so I looked at it and tooks some notes. I was once assitant to the secretary and I had control of the record cards, there were some very old cards there from some JW's who i have never heard of at that time and some JW"s who stopped coming for many years, I do clearly reemember it being up to me if I wanted to keep these cards or throw them out, I decided to leave them there, it was the safer choice, in case someone did come back.

What I have always really wanted to ask a CO or DO is if they knew about Charles Russell, 1914 & the pyramids. I sometimes wonder if they really knew where he got that date from, I’m sure that there must be one or two that do know and how do they feel about still teaching the Lie, they’ll probably just say the usual "wait on Jehovah…" thingy.

Worst use of "Jehovah" instead of Lord in NWT Christian GRK scriptures?
by oompa innwt (acts 7:55-60) 55 but he, being full of holy spirit, gazed into heaven and caught sight of gods glory and of jesus standing at gods right hand, 56 and he said: "look!
i behold the heavens opened up and the son of man standing at gods right hand.
"57 at this they cried out at the top of the voice and put their hands over their ears and rushed upon him with one accord.

Yes, you have a very good point. And it would be difficult for the WTS to backtrack this one.

Just finished reading Crises of Conscience (4th Edition)
by restrangled ini read coc 15 years ago and it was an eye opener, but feel i must have read it through jw veiled thinking.. after reading the updated version it left my brain reeling.
the comparison of the un debacle with what happened to the mexico/malawi episode explains a lot.. i remember so many of the rules that came down to the rank and file while i was growing up.
the reminder of the 1975 horsesh*t was nausiating...i lived through it, was df'd the first week of january 1975 and then it was reversed in march of 1975. my parents were desperate to save my 16 year old life.

I read it about 7 years a go but I don't think it discussed the UN thingy, maybe its time for a revisit.

Question: Who Owns the Kingdom Halls and land?
by brojo ini have a question.
who actually owns the kingdom halls in the us?
the local congregation (which has paid or is paying the mortgage) or the wt society?
-

The Lone Ranger
The society owns them, and it makes sense too that they own them. A long time ago it use to be that the Title of the Land and Hall was in the name of the local elder or elders, but as it happens so often, elders go ‘bad’ and the WTS did loose some land and KH’s from elder’s who refused to hand the title over once they left the WTS. So as much as we might hate the WTS it makes sense that the title is always in the name of the WTS and if any of the locals brothers think that they own the building that they built and paid for then, they are fools. What if over time the local elders and brothers move as is mostly the case, over a few years you can get situations where the whole B.O.E has changed and half of the publishers has also changed, does the land and kingdom hall moved with them? Of course not. It doesn’t matter who builds it or pays for it, the WTS owns it and the local brothers are free to use it as long as they stay JW’s.
