"Captives of a Concept" and the Governing Bodys New Light
by Cameron_Don inwhile waiting for this "new light " about the "faithful and discreet slave"to officially come out, "captives of a concept" already explained that in actual practice, the various terms that have been used to refer to "gods organization" (including "the faithful and discreet slave") refer in fact to just "the men who have been hidden behind those terms" - the men of the governing body.
see chapters 6 and 11. raymond franz figured this out long before the governing body just did.
in his "crisis of conscience" he said.... "whether the governing body members acknowledge it or whether they prefer not to think about it, the fact remains that in the crucial aspects of the authority and teachings they, and they alone, are the organization.

What About: Daniel 12:10 & Malachi 3:3?
by Cameron_Don indaniel 12:10 & malachi 3:3. daniel: many will cleanse themselves and whiten themselves and will be refined.
malachi: (jesus) must sit as a refiner and cleanser of silver and must cleanse the sons of levi; and he must clarify them like gold and like silver.. here are a couple examples of what james penton said about using the bible to explain almost anything that witness writers want it to.
in this case the witness writers want to explain away all of organizations former teachings that were not true (including the 48 mentioned in chapter 3).

Who Passed Jesus' Inspection In 1919?
by Cameron_Don ini was looking over the upcoming september 15 watchtower study article where it says that in 1919, something woke (the anointed) up!
jesus had come to inspect all those who called themselves christians.
some of the anointed did not pass this inspection.. but as many of us know, none of the anointed would have passed an inspection of the 48 teachings that are mentioned in chapter 3 of captives of a concept.. for example: according to the proclaimers book, none of the anointed woke up to jesus invisible presence beginning in 1914 until 1943 - 24 years after jesus inspection was over.

Why 1876 Rather Than 1879?
by Cameron_Don inwhy does "captives of a concept" start counting the society's pre-1919 teachings from 1876 rather than from when he first began to publish his watch tower magazine in 1879?.
because 1876 was when russell first began proclaiming two of his most important dates: .
(1) 1874 for the beginning of jesus' second coming or "invisible presence.".

The Fatal Attraction of "God's Organization"
by Cameron_Don ini recently watched the 5-part documentary the fatal attraction of adolf hitler on youtube.... http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=fatal+asttraction+of+adolf+hitler&oq=fatal+asttraction+of+adolf+hitler&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&gs_l=youtube.3...9316.17859.0.18511.33.33.0.0.0.0.234.3304.22j10j1.33.0...0.0.idl4vmbwceo.
without even trying i could not help but notice several similarities between the fatal attraction germans had to hitler and the fatal attraction jehovahs witnesses have to their gods organization.. example:: toward the end of the documentary it explained that even when some germans finally began to realize that hitler was not the nice guy they thought he was, they still remained loyal to him because there was no one else to turn to.. who does that remind us of?.
