The GB of today sure hates Charles Taze Russell
by Eustace inthe whole concept of the faithful and discreet slave in the jw religion goes back to charles taze russell and/or his followers calling him the faithful and wise servant.
how in the blue blazes can they say he wasn't part of the faithful and discreet slave?.
quite a demotion, it must be said, from the faithful and discreet slave in the flesh to not even being a part of something that rutherford's lowly henchmen on the board of directors got to be a part of!.

Matt 24:45-47 The faithful slave refers ONLY to Governing Body. Does this make sense?
by MC RubberMallet inaccording to 2 reports thus far from 2012 annual meeting, this is new light.
some may need more time and verification to post an opinion on this, but i plan on showing the scriptural fallacies of this "new light".
comments?.

Who REALLY owns the WTBTS...theory/help me out.....
by EndofMysteries inokay i am working on getting these documents together.
i wish ray franz was still alive, i'd have a question or maybe somebody knows.
if it's true that russell was a mason and/or wrote to the rothschilds in 1891, if it's true they helped him set up the wt or gave a lot of money....that could be why it was "zions" wt.

The difference between a religion, however strange, and a destructive cult
by Eustace ini think the difference has to do with ostracizing former members.
when a group does this, then whether or not they used "brainwashing" techniques to get peoplein, the people in have a tremendous amount of pressure being put on them to stay in no matter how badly they're treated.. the problem i face when it comes to studying this issue is that there is i'm having a hard time finding data on which groups do and do not ostracize former members.. here's a list of some groups i consider destructive cults with information on whether or not they ostracize former members in paranthesis:.
destructive cults.

scientology's most famous adherent, tom cruise, is believed to be receiving special dispensation to see his daughter, suri, six, after ex-wife katie holmes withdrew herself and their daughter from the membership.
normally members are forbidden from contacting ex-partners who leave the 60-year-old cult.

Restrictions On JW Members: What Are They??
by Cold Steel incan someone please explain the rules and regulations jws are expected to abide by as it pertains to the outside world?
for example, if a jw wanted to debate his religion on a site like this, can he/she do so without fear of reprisal from the church?.
and for those who have cable or satellite television, what are their restrictions?

Did You Feel Bad For "Unbelieving Mates" That Would Go To Meetings?
by minimus ini did.. typically, it was the jw wife that pleaded with her hubby to please go and the husband, because he loved his wife/ family went along and endured the boring mundane meetings.. isn't it funny how everyone would cozy up to the "unbeliever" and invite him to "gatherings" even though he was very "worldly"?
