As predicted, no loosening of the reins . . .
by AuldSoul inwell, the new governing body is circling the doctrinal wagons and funneling information through fewer and fewer access points.
there is no loosening of the reins.
i believe those who are awaiting mainstreaming from the organization are waiting in vain.

Dispelling Myths: 1914 Expectations
by AuldSoul injehovah's witnesses currently teach that prior to 1914 no one could have predicted what happened in europe in 1914. they teach that the world was heading toward such idyllic stability that the events of 1914 caught everyone off-guard.
so surprised were the people of the time that they looked back with fondness at the calm preceding 1914 as a time that could never be gone back to.. what were the bible students teaching about 1914 prior to that year?
in what capacity did they claim to be teaching?.

Dispelling JW Myths: Governing Body
by AuldSoul inaccording to jehovah's witnesses, acts 15 shows a gathering of older men in jerusalem convened for the purpose of deciding about the issue of circumcision.
they teach that this gathering demonstrates that the older men in jerusalem exercised doctrinal authority over the congregations throughout the known world.. let us examine, from the two perspectives of luke and paul, what really was going on.
during the course of the discussion we will examine peter's testimony as well to decide whether god was using this group of men as the ancient version of the modern day governing body.

JWD scholars, I need a bit of help finding something ...
by AuldSoul indoes anyone know where i can find reprints of the "resolutions" that comprise the "scorpion stings" and the "trumpet blasts" of revelation as explained in the revelation climax book?.
i have lately become very curious about the contents of these resolutions and proclaimations, since the wts currently praises the bible students for publishing and distributing these "scathing denunciations".. i bet they are just filled with false prophecies, too.
my idea is to show the resolutions in question and ask: even if the "trumpet blasts" really are divine judgment messages, would outstandingly bold false predictions reasonably be any part of these divine judgment messages?.
