I could use some help arming myself.
by WontLeave ini know there is going to be a backlash to skipping the memorial and i want to be ready.
i actually drove by the kingdom hall last evening, just so i could say i came on passover and nobody was there.
this will initiate a watchtower worship session where they drag out all of their "scholarly" research.

Anybody have a Thursday meeting and want to comment on the book study?
by WontLeave inmy wife threatened to leave/kill me if i did it, but maybe yours has a better sense of humor.
in case you were around for the big nisan 14/15 debate, you might know i assert the bible absolutely and thoroughly demonstrates the passover falls on nisan 15 and nisan 14 was the "preparation day".. tonight, at the book study, the daily sacrifice that was to be done twice a day at the temple was mentioned.. prayers were offered at the temple in conjunction with the morning and evening sacrifices.
the evening sacrifice was held at the ninth hour, or about three in the afternoon.

C.T. Russell and the Bible Students blessed and used by God?
by WontLeave inthere is no question that the first president of this corporation, c. t. russell, was used mightily by jehovah during the period when basic bible truths were being restored among gods true worshipers on earth.
we have great love for brother charles t. russell, for his works sake, and that we gladly acknowledge that the lord used him and greatly blessed his work - ka p239, jv p155, others (rutherford's speech announcing the adoption of the name jehovah's witnesses).
at their regular gatherings during the years 1870 to 1875, the religious thinking of these men underwent profound changes.

Is it my imagination, or do JWs jump around in Mat 24 to prove "Last Days"?
by WontLeave in3 as jesus was sitting on the mount of olives, the disciples came to him privately.
tell us, they said, when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?
4 jesus answered: watch out that no one deceives you.

Electronic Cigarettes
by WontLeave inhas anyone heard or had any first-hand experience with the society's reaction to electronic cigarettes?
none of the arguments used against real cigarettes hold water against e-cigs.
all of the dangerous chemicals are out.

Just thought of something today, regarding "faithful slave"
by WontLeave inthousands of the readers of pastor russell's writings believe that he filled the office of 'that faithful and wise servant,' and that his great work was giving to the household of faith meat in due season.
his modesty and humility precluded him from openly claiming this title, but he admitted as much in private conversation - w12/1/1919 p357.
russell died in 1916 and taught that jesus' parousia had started in 1874. this would allow him to believe jesus had already identified his "faithful and discreet slave" and appointed "him over all his belongings.
