Did holy spirit reveal INVISIBLE presence doctrine to C.T. Russell as the Faithful and Discreet Slave?

by Terry in

sir isaac newton died in 1642. he was considered the greatest intellect of his time.

newton had taken physics from the stone age into an age of technological miracles by penetrating the secrets of nature.

his reputation as one who solved difficult puzzles went beyond his actual expertise, however.

Off-Topic: I know Russell and Barbour split because Barbour did not believe in Jesus Sacrifice cover the sins. But this is a basic believes, I always wonder why he had such a view. I might have to create a thread for that.

page 20:.

the unwary may adopt the same view of theocratic arrangements.

Edit: Note that when they are referring to "entertainment" and "Internet", they mean "bad/sexual things may appear using these tools. But how can you link sex with education?????

Watchtower 1954 claims Jesus was clean shaven/ short hair like a Witness!!!

by Witness 007 in

how did the watchtower develop "pogonophobia"?

(beard fear) 1950-1960's long hair and beards were a sign of rebelious youth.

then in the 1954 watchtower p.511 questions from readers.

w68 5/1 p. 286 Questions From Readers

Biblical evidence is the most reliable testimony to be found on this question, and a recent careful review of what it says indicates that Jesus did indeed have a beard.

Hold on, where in the Bible can you find this information? Book, chapter and verse please...?

This Relatively New Governing Body @ Bethel Not Liked By Bethelites Even the Ass Kissers

by frankiespeakin in

when i was a bethelite back many years ago(1970's), a lot of bethelites would say negative things about knorr, kline, and other members of the gb in private conversation.

there was at that time more freedom to express these things without feeling too threatened, which i feel is no longer the case.. now we have a completely new governing body all appointed after 1999 except for losch(1994).

since that time we have seen a steady increase in authoritarianism from this self proclaimed august body, where no descension or voicing a negative opinon with reguards to the governing body is allowed.

Nice observation. Relatively, everybody in the GB are new, except for Losch.

i should know the answer to this but.... so the great crowd class were identified in 1935, but does the wt suggest when it's members first appeared on earth?

all first century christians were of the annointed (i think that's right), so when do they think the first of the great crowd rolled up?.

w01 5/15 pp. 14-15:

As a large part of the audience stood up, Rutherford declared: “Behold! The great multitude!” There was a hush, followed by loud cheering. On the following day, 840 new Witnesses of Jehovah were baptized, most of these professing to be of the great crowd.

For Rutherford, they appeared whenever he wanted. He was "Da judge" for a reason....
