those taking the lead have shown that they are not sentimentally attached to material things.. they are willing to move the world headquarters to warwick, new york, because it will advance kingdom interests.
Hello. The outline for the annual meeting with pioneers is out. It talks about the GB and FDS a lot.

How humble to move from old buildings in Brooklyn to spankings new buildings upstate!
read this in another thread,,,,,,,,,feb 2014 wt.
there, they cast doubt on the application of daniel's 70 weeks prophecy to being fulfilled with christ.. "could the first-century jews have calculated the time of the messiahs arrival on the basis of the prophecy of the 70 weeks recorded at daniel 9:24-27 ?
while that possibility cannot be ruled out, it cannot be confirmed.
.
when was it first introduced that the watchtower organisation was chosen in 1919?
i expect this was something first published under rutherford, as a way of making his leadership more important than that of russell, but would like some evidence to back that claim up.. .
I guess that between 1919 and 2014 the gang at Brooklyn were "Interim FDS". Then, in 2014, they got promoted to "FDS".
All made up!
if jesus came to inspect his temple only in 1919, as claimed by the governing body, and found only the international bible students to be doing the lord's will, can we then speak of a "take over" on the watchtower society?.
because, if before (1879-1919) the watchtower society, a.k.a.
the 'organization', started by russell, wasn't god's organization yet - at least not until 1919, how come this organization can in any way be considered "our mother"?
[If we are to walk in the light of truth we must recognize not only Jehovah God as our Father but his organization as our mother." (Watchtower, May 1, 1957, pg. 274)]
Blasphemy at its best!!
i'm somewhat new here, even though i've posted a few times, so i decided it was time i properly introduced myself.
i've been lurking for several months.... .
i was born into the jw and served for 21 years.
Welcome!

wouldn't it be nice if they said 'you know what, we've made millions in property sales recently, lets donate a couple million to a philipines relief fund..'
ten vans full, probably just for jw's.
Data-Dog comments always spot on.
elder said this last night that some anointed ones have already been resurrected and 2 cor 5:17 applies to then?
reminds me of the saducees who claimed theresurrection had alreadg halpened...hmmmm.
Oh yes, Russell, Rutherford, Franz, Knorr, Hensshell, Barber, Gangas... and all the gang are up in heaven and "transmitting Bible Truths to the WT already... Go figure.
latest wt is up.. reinforces jesus becoming king in 1914 (no let up on that date).
marriage of the lamb to the 144,000. yawn.... yawn..... celebrates the 100 year anniversary of the photo drama of creation.
it seems to me that every 100 year anniversary shall be celebrated just to try and take the wind from the sails of apostates.. .
Simon17, good point!

it has been very nice to have forgotten jehovahs witnesses.

The 70 weeks prophecy was not meant to be understood during the 1 century but in the 20 century by the WT/FDS/GB... NOT!
