  hour quotas timeline.

  back in the old days long before 1952.

  In support of Nathan N's comment, I have long maintained that the primary reason the WT required hours to be recorded was to provide proof for the young men to present to the draft board to get the 4-D. Likewise, that is the reason the 'pioneer' requirement was invented, and the reason the Ministry School was created. It was all about the draft back then. The hour requirements later morphed into more of a control mechanism, but at the inception it was the draft issue.

  I had a close family member at Bethel in the '70s and he spoke highly of Reinhard. Very intelligent; one of the authors of the Aid Book.

  SDAs Campaigning in my Area

  by NotFormer in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  not even as active as the jws (whom i have not seen for around a year now), nevertheless i get an occasional leaflet or other publication in my letterbox that seems to be seventh day adventist in origin.. the booklet i received the other day was entitled "national sunday law".

  i also had received this book years ago when i had some dealings with the sdas.. from reddit: "national sunday law involves a conspiracy theory which alleges that the united states government is on the verge of enacting a national blue law that would make sunday a day of rest and worship.

  the theory depends on the idea that the pope is the antichrist and the mark of the beast is worshipped on sunday.

  SDA has some obscure branches (remember Waco?), one of which is likely the culprit here.

  It's a lengthy read, but there's quite a lot about JWs. One quote that caught my eye in a section discussion immigration and its effect on diversification:

  The Assemblies of God (1.9%), a classical Pentecostal tradition,
  is among the most racially diverse religious groups in the nation.
  Those affiliated are 25% Hispanic, 5% Asian, 3% Black, and 66%
  White. Even more striking, the Jehovah’s Witnesses (1.9%) exhibit
  high racial diversity within the American religious landscape, with
  Hispanic representing 32% of their religious group, Asian Americans
  6%, Black Americans 27%, and White Americans representing 36%.

  I'll leave it at that, but if anyone is interested in reports like this, it's worth a look.

  Unveiling the True Meaning of 666

  by EisMe in

  unveiling the true meaning of 666. for centuries, the number 666 and the mark of the beast have sparked widespread speculation, fear, and countless interpretations.

  some believe it signifies an actual physical marking, while others see it as symbolic of spiritual allegiance.

  but amidst all these theories, one question remains:.
