They are claiming that CTR and the Bible Students were like a " John the Baptist " class.
Right! And the GB is The Christ, the sons of God. Sure...
Remember also, the new FDS teaching is an "idea" that the GB LOVES...
with the study of the new teaching of july 15th wt, which will be done in septmember 2013 in sight, i try to collect all kind of objections from here and other sites, in order to have enough ammunition for discussions ready.. wih this in mind, i found an additional problemwith this new teaching.. since before 1918/19 there was no fds, ergo no channel of truth, ergo no true worship, and russel and his fellows just some "normal" folks, what about all those, who were baptized prior to 1918 ?
like freddie franz, rutherford etc, there baptism was therefore not valid, just like jw view baptisms of former catholics, protestants etc not valid and baptize them again.. ho can they be annointed, when they were not properly dunked ?
just show, with their new teaching, the fds cut the very branch they are sitting on.. .

there are many silly doctines and viewpoints.. one of the strangest ones is the blood doctrine.. why anyone could logically accept this belief is beyond reason..
That Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and the faithful prophets of old will return and live in America.
"Therefore we may confidently expect that 1925 will mark the return of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and the faithful prophets of old, particularly those named by the Apostle in Hebrews chapter eleven, to the condition of human perfection" (Millions Now Living Will Never Die, pp. 89-90).

you can't help but feel sympathy for these guys.
some of the things they did will have been horrendous, but they are paying their dues to society through their incarceration.. what they don't deserve is to become mentally imprisoned to a damaging cult.. .
Why are people complaining about the WT/GB/FDS saying ""Jehovahs witnesses are all about education"?
Don't you know the WT is the hightest authority in defining words? Jeezz people don't get it. When they say "education", they mean Watchtower-approved education, which is: Teach book and alike.
i'm just curious, and i know i always end up with an answer.. but why can't the society go back to its old way of charging for the magazines.
i know this is probably easier said than done.
but if they were keeping a float in the past but are sinking now on the donation model, then is seems obvious charging for the mags was the better way to go.
You can get everything online for free (magazines and books) on the website. Unless they get rid of the magazines as PDF, or charging per download...
interestin to see the differences in the outlandish claims :.
the finished mystery on page 144 said they were chosen in 1879 and that it was the corporation that was chosen.. 8:3. and another angel.-not the "voice of the lord,".
mentioned in the preceding chapter, but the corporate.
Thanks for the quotes.
when i was a kid, i researched the origins of the religion and realized that the witnesses were an offshoot of adventism.....we're you surprised to learn something about the witnesses that you didn't realize?.
How the rewrite their history is what still surprise me.
is 1918 done away completely by new light?
according to the new light..... when did the first resurrection begin?
and when did jesus reject all the churches of christendom?.
Thanks Blondie!

I would like a refresh on this too.
it seems to me that in the past large flashes of "new light" have come when the governing body was backed into a corner.
for example the multiple re-defining of what a generation is until it ended up the ridiculous "overlapping" meaning.. what is the reason this time?
are they worried because the number of partakers has been going up?
They wanted to separated themselves even further for power. Now, the JW's have 3 classes:
- The Govering Body (FDS)
- The Annointed
- The Great Crowd
In complete opposition to this Bible text:
Galatians 3:28: "There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus."
the paragraph says:.
who, then, is the faithful and discreet slave?
that slave is made up of a small group of anointed brothers who are directly involved in preparing and dispensing.
Wow. Just wow. Thanks for posting this. And I know there was a Theocratic School Review question asking something along the lines of: Is the GB the FDS, and they will mark that answer as incorrect.
Clearly, they make the Bible say whatever they want it to say.
