Who stretched the pyramid? When? Why?
by Doug Mason inthe site http://www.reexamine.org/quotes/1874.htm lists the quotations related to the dimensions of the great pyramid.
the first quotation comes from the 1904 edition of millennial dawn, vol 3, p.342.
part of the quotation says: "the close of 1874 was the chronological beginning of the time of trouble such as was not since there was a nation".

Rutherford and 1914 "coming"
by Doug Mason ini have seen the 1929 book where rutherford stated that christ's parousia took place in 1874. .
in the course of my research, i have seen people claiming that during the 1920s, rutherford dated the "coming" of christ at 1914. .
i do not want to repeat hearsay, and would like to hear from people who have the original documents or verifiable photocopies.

ROME on HBO
by Sasha inon sundays episode the camera panned past a man who had beeen crucified.
i noticed that he was on a pole, and not a cross.
is that because christianity had not been introduced yet?

Is the Subject of Blood Covered in other early Christian writings?
by Clam indoes anyone know if the subject of blood is evident in any early christian texts?
in acts i understood the advice on abstention was more relevant to blood sacrifices at the time of writing.
over the first few centuries a.d. did any other writers feel it necessary to deal with a subject, which to the jws is of such paramount importance?

Is the "Kingdom" a "government"?
by Doug Mason inmy understanding is that the wts says the "kingdom of god/heavens" is a "government".
where do they get that idea from in scripture?
i presume that by "government" they mean "a system of exercising authority through an executive policy making body".

When we quote from the bible to prove a point do we have any right?
by Qcmbr inone thing you'll see me and many others do is the good old bible bash with scriptures flying around.
i cannot move away from the idea however, that when we cannot agree on the interpretation of scripture how can we possibly claim our understanding is superior to anothers?
yet upon such topics hangs the supposed destination of one's soul.

Why Matthew 24 can NEVER be fulfilled.....
by kid-A inlets see.
by watchtower theology, millions if not billions of dead people will be resurrected in jehoobie's funland...... assuming 6 million dubs survive the fiery wrath of lord jehoobie, they will represent a tiny minority in the new world order!.
according to the borg, all of these newly risen dead will require a "witness", meaning, the kingdom ministry will by necessity be in full swing,.

When did WT start teaching all wicked would be destroyed at Armageddon?
by cabasilas inrussell did not teach that all the wicked would be destroyed at armageddon.
neither did rutherford, initially.
that is why he preached that millions then living would never die.

Blood is symbolic?
by JWdaughter inhttp://www.watchtower.org/library/hb/article_01.htm.
"all humanity was thus notified that in the creator's view, blood stands for life.
this was more than a dietary regulation.
