C.T. Russell and the fiery trial of the church in 1910......
by kid-A inin thy kingdom come, c.t.
russell derives 4 dates that he believes correspond to biblical prophecy based upon several pyramid measurements.
he derived the 1914 (1915) dates from measurements of the entrance passage from one of the tombs to the entrance of the funerary pit, thus on page 342 he states:

How precisely will god save the JWs at armageddon?
by kid-A inhave you ever wondered, based upon the artists conception below, how it is jehovah will supposedly "save" the witnesses during his "great day of vengeance(tm)".
i mean, will he transport all 6 million of them into waiting cruise ships while he is throwing fireballs onto the earth?
how will all the dubs avoid falling into those giant crevasses as he starts the continental earthquakes?

Did Rutherford, Knorr or Franz have any kids?
by kid-A indoes anybody know if any of these 3 had children?
if so, did they remain in the wts and gain any positions of influence?.
i always thought the wts had very little regard for children, not just the fact that they expect the dubs to sacrifice their childrens lives over the blood issue, but even the designs of the kingdom halls, no rooms or activities for children, just forced indoctrination.. could this stance be the result of a series of presidents who had no understanding or care for children themselves?

by kid-A infor those born into the wts, do you ever feel resentment towards your folks for forcing this upon you?

Watchtower-Lite: the dilution of theology?
by kid-A inremember the 90 year old dubs in your hall that would always have some answer at the study full of the weird old russell-rutherford era theology?
you know, all the different "classes", weird watchtower terminology, "scarlet coloured harlot" , "sounding of the 10 horns" etc etc and you would be sitting there thinking wtf????.
comparing the old school witnesses to the "witness-lite" of today, would you agree that at least that old school theology had some more substantive attempts at theology.....flipping through a recent wt i was struck by the complete fluff that filled the pages from start to finish....do you think this dilution of theology is intentional or have they just completely run out of theological steam, as it were?

If a JW widower remarries, what happens to the poor spouse at resurrection?
by kid-A inthis always weirded me out...if a jw's spouse dies (and lets assume they were reasonably young) and that widower re-marries, has a big happy family, etc etc.... now imagine resurrection day.....the last thing you remember is this person was the love of your life, your entire universe, your raison d'etre, and surprise!
they have moved on without you, and you are left high and dry....can you imagine the psychological nightmare this would be for the "resurrected"????
would you even want to come back to that??

ex-elders: how long do they keep disfellowshipping files on record?
by kid-A ini recall at my old kh a locked and ominous steel filing cabinet in the basement library containing manila folder files for each disfellowshipping case that had taken place in the congregation.
i found this out when an elder carelessly left this filing cabinet open during a meeting and i had wandered into the library during a fit of boredom.
being 11 years old, of course i read them!!!
