  Since everything about the origins of the Watchtower magazine were proved wrong, what legitimacy can its inheritors claim?

  by Half banana in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the original aim of ct russell in starting the watchtower magazine in 1879 was to announce to the world his pet idea that jesus had come to rule in the heavens five years earlier back in 1874. for the young entrepreneur this new magazine looked like a commercial runner and it was!.

  most of us know how profoundly false the prophecy was but if you don't mind i'll give a brief overview for newbies:.

  1874 was the failed adventist prediction year for the return of christ in the heavenly glory, which russell was now saying was the right year after all.

  OK who threw the stink bomb in here?

  by Thisismein1972 in

  1. social
  2. humour

  come on a believer, everyone knows it was you so own up to it and teacher will not be cross!.

  this is exactly what seems to be happening, a believer runs in drops the stink bomb and runs out again...only to pear around the door when he/she deems it safe to do so.

  😅😅😅.

  as someone who has tried to fade on various occasions, i always end up attending meetings!

  why is this the case you may ask?.
