  How were Rutherford's Cadillacs purchased?

  by InterestedOne in

  i mentioned rutherford's cadillacs to my study conductor, and he said maybe rutherford was able to purchase them because he was independently wealthy.

  were they purchased from his own personal wealth or with the wt funds?.

  Verifiable Former Bethelite Willing to Answer questions

  by Uzzah in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am a former active poster here, former elder, former bethelite and pretty much known by people on the xjw boards since the mid 90's.

  gawd that makes me sound old.. i notice that a great deal of uproar is being made by allegations of a hide in the closet alleged bethelite.

  to counter the damage caused by this claim, i am happy to address any questions people may have about bethel, protocol, etc.. i was at the canada branch for 11 years, worked in multiple areas including the legal department, service desk and writing dept.

  Did any of you read the Insight books cover to cover? I did, ugh.

  by Wasanelder Once in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i was hungry for the story behind the scriptures and thought i was getting it by reading them.

  i think it was beneficial but once i got to chronology i started to throw up in my mouth.

  did you read them and what do you think now of the information your read?.

  Vote:DO you think the WTBTS will end with a BANG or a WHIMPER

  by superman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  personally i think it will end with a whimper.

  i think that they will always have members, but after the "system" continues and more and more people get discouraged, df'd, da'd, or fade after a long enough time they will slowly continue to consilidate halls (lose members) until it finally get so small they eventually go by the wayside or switch to something like e-meetings or web-meetings or once yearly conventions.

  any takers??

  Why I am an atheist

  by Awakened at Gilead in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  someone (a born-again exjw) on youtube asked me why i was an atheist... i crafted a brief response... it follows:.

  1. religious reason: there is no proof for god outside of the bible.

  once i dropped my belief in the bible, the judeo-christian concept of god fell apart like a house of cards.

  EXOTIC WATCHTOWERS

  by cameo-d in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i am inspired to start this topic because of something i stumbled across in an answer to parakeet on another thread.. he has some deruta majolica.

  this is the heraldy crest for the deruta family.

  it has a very exotic looking watchtower as its central theme.. i believe i have seen in a photograph somewhere, a similar one that actually exists.. i wonder what sinister meanings lurk behind the concept of watchtowers.. there has to be something very evil here since one of the most vile religions i know of has named its foundation after this structure.. let's see what we come up with.. .
