for decades now the wt has enjoyed peace and freedom in most westernized lands.. but the wt does not really want the easy road, they do not want to be like mainstrean.
christendom.
they need to appear as though they are different, the elect, the martyr,.
The dubs just want to hurry up the GT so they can FINALLY get to play with their panda cub for eternity.
LOL @ SirNose586. That is funny and true.
But I do think that the WT is trying to send a hint and plant a seed with "the kings of the earth, the "political paramours", to turn against religion.
The WT has been trying to do that for many years. "RELIGION IS A SNARE AND A RACKET!" This new 'End of False Religion Is Near' tract is
another form of that message.

The WT knows that there are boundaries to what they can put in print. For legal reasons they have really tamed the heat in their literature.
They don't want to end up in prison again like the Rutherford and the guys. They are less direct than they used to be, but their literature is still
written in such a way so that average reader will probably not take notice, but some of the more influencial people in the world might see
the WT agenda.
The WT wants all other religions except them to be destroyed by through the political/military entities of the U.N. They want it to happen
as soon as possible so as to justify their current "end is near" obesession. So the WT orders a worldwide campaign to distribute their fiery
little "The End of False Religion is Near!" tract, HOPING that the right people read it, placing the thought in their heart to make a move
against religion.
The WT is trying to incite the fulfillment of their own prophecies and some persecution from it in the process will boost their ego.

Christendom. They need to appear as though they are different, the elect, the martyr,
being persecuted for the sake of truth.
Do you think that the WT is trying to draw more attention to themselves by means of
these special campaigns? First delivering a personal invitation to every home for the
"Deliverance at Hand!" convention. Then it was the special "Creator" anti-evolution issue
of the Awake! magazine. The Sunday public talk at most circuit overseer visits is all about
getting prepared for major opposition. Now it is blasting every other religion on earth with
this new tract "The End of False Religion is Near!" The 2007 Year Theme is Zephaniah 1:14
"The great day of Jehovah is near." In January the WT will begin inciting millions
of JWs earthwide to further condemn religion and politics by their study of the book
"Revelation it's Grand Climax at Hand!"
The WT wants legal battles in the courts. They want to get the persecution started.
So why not provoke it by means of special campaings? It worked in the past. In the last six
months the JWs have probably been at every door with some extra special urgent message
three or four times, not including their usual door to door magazine preaching.
I can't help but wonder if the WT is going out of their way trying to start a something,
just as they did when they sent that personal letter of condemnation to the Nazis.
Are the WT leaders out there on the streets everyday touting these especially urgent
messages or are they just having the rank and file JWs do it so they get the brunt of
the opposition so the WT leaders can sit back at their headquarters and write literature
headlining PERSECUTION, THE END IS NEAR, DELIVERANCE?

this year they were here visiting me and hubby and we went to the opening night of pirates and saw the trailer of spiderman iii, we made a pact to see the opening together!!
Oh. How disappointing. I thought you were talking about the end of false religion.
did you notice any similarities in the personalities of "anointed" jws?.
did they use their anointed status for personal advantage?.
were they the most loving person you ever met?.
I'm not so sure that "pre 1935" anointed JWs were dissimliar to JWs that profess to be of the anointed today.
The more you read about the private lives of Russell, Rutherford, F. Franz, the leading anointed ones of the time,
the more you will realize that there was something very peculiar about them as people and not in a healthy way.
Whether some anointed JWs try to imitate the higher up anointed JWs or if they just are not right in the head to
start with, the WT publications have bragged for years on how different and special the "anointed remnant" is
by their conduct and views. The WT bred the anointed to think that way and they still do.
i found an interesting book today.
i'll probably buy and read it in the next few weeks.
it points to 5 signs that a religion is evil.
#5 Declaring Holy War
*** w50 6/15 p. 184 par. 26 A Victory Dedicated to Jehovah’s Honor ***
The anointed remnant have been pressing on in the battle of truth against lies for many years now, but, though aging and nearing exhaustion, they do not give in to weariness of the flesh but keep up the chase of the enemy, “faint, yet pursuing them.” Frequently they could use such assistance as that symbolized by “bread” or “a cup of cold water”. Those who refuse to assist Christ’s brethren are adversely judged by the King, who says to them: “I was hungry, and ye did not give me to eat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink . . . Go away into eternal punishment.” (Matt. 25:42, 46; 10:42, Am. Stan. Ver.) Such ones were prefigured by the men of Succoth and Penuel, and will suffer a like fate.
*** w50 6/15 p. 184 par. 27 A Victory Dedicated to Jehovah’s Honor ***
How like the “goat” and “evil servant” classes of today, who refuse aid to the anointed remnant, unable to see that behind these brethren of the Lord are Christ and Jehovah, and are still fearful of the world leaders, consorting with them and viewing them as the “higher powers”! Such goatish ones think that this world organization under Satan is all right, think that it will continue on as the controlling power, and they cast their lot with it. Hence in both type and antitype it is seen that the rout and running battle divided the peoples, some coming out and joining in the fight against satanic oppressors, others siding with the doomed invaders of Jehovah’s field of worship.—Matt. 25:31, 32.
The holy war against evil invaders? Fighting the invisible demonic enemy and those doomed apostates!
the other day ,it was mentioned how rutherland supposedly swindled 5 sisters out of their shares etc to gain control of wt.. do you think there will be further shocking revelations about wt or have everything been covered?.
If enough evidence can be gathered to convict a certain G.B. member of rape before he dies might deal a hard blow to the WT.
Even that might not be enough. The G.B. Greenlees homosexual scandal did not damage the WT at all.
If any more Ray Franz like memos from other high up WT officials expressing their doubt or disbelief in JW doctrine would be a good find.

From most of the experiences here, anointed JWs do not seem to have a very good reputation.
Considering that there are only a few thousand of them and the overall experience with them
has been negative, sounds like they need some good Public Relations help.
Any volunteers?

A wise man of the past wrote: "Man has dominated man to his injury." (Ecclesiastes 8:9) His words are true whether those dominating are individuals or classes. When one group of people elevates itself over another, misery and suffering inevitably result.

Faithful and discreet slave CLASS? CLASS of anointed Christians? Elevates itself over the CLASS of other sheep. With all the misery and personal suffering within WT organization talked about here, by the JW's own doctrine, the anointed must be held responsible.
