    I like how they champion Russell as rediscovering truth through Holly spirit,but have since changed about 99% of the stuff he taught. So silly. 😅

      They've changed about 99% of what I was taught, 36 yrs ago!😣
      It's ridiculous to hear them call "Old Light" as "Apostate Thinking", when They were the ones that came up with the stuff and promoted it as "Truth" back then!

      Think about it as "a step in the right direction"... *Russell made a clear start to find the actual truth in the bible* ...he didn't bow to traditional views....he wanted to understand God's thoughts...
      Mark 7:8 New Living Translation
      For you ignore God’s law and substitute your own tradition.”
      In the past ones were noted by God for doing the same...searching to find God's way. *Their efforts were acknowledged even if they didn't go ALL the way...*
      2 Chronicles 15:3,4, 8,16,17 New Living Translation
      *Asa’s Religious Reforms*
      3For a long time Israel was without the true God, without a priest to teach them, and without the Law to instruct them. 4But whenever they were in trouble and *turned to the LORD, the God of Israel, and sought him out, they found him.*
      *8When Asa heard this message from Azariah the prophet,a he took courage and removed all the detestable idols from the land of Judah and Benjamin and in the towns* he had captured in the hill country of Ephraim. *And he repaired the altar of the LORD, which stood in front of the entry room of the LORD’s Temple.*
      16King Asa even deposed his grandmotherc Maacah from her position as queen mother because she had made an obscene Asherah pole. He cut down her obscene pole, broke it up, and burned it in the Kidron Valley. *17Although the pagan shrines were not removed from Israel,* Asa’s heart remained completely faithful throughout his life.
      A person does not need to be perfect or 100% correct to be acknowledged by God in this time... God takes note of heart and effort. *Russell was clearly a person who wanted to follow God's way...*

      Which just make the light get brighter a normal shit that they all accepted bc God giving them food at the right time. But guess wah the governing body are not inspired by God.

      Be very selective and careful about which JWs you feel sorry for.
      A lot of them , are well aware of what they are being taught is not true and are purposely resistant to acknowledging those facts or to even have a respectful and open minded discussion with any Ex-JW or Non-JW. They love being both egotistical and controlling of others(Us vs Them Thinking and Superiority Complexes). It's a "Badge Of Honour" to these ones. They don't care about or seek out Actual Truth.
      These JWs; are Narcissistic and are incapable of Empathy or Self Reflection or True Human Connection.
      They will never change nor think rationally, ever.
      Some JWs though, are Empaths. These ones deserve your pity and compassion.
      They are the ones that will be open to evidence backed discussions and will listen to reason and will do open minded independent research.
      They are JWs(sadly), because they seek out Truth and Happiness(not to be found within a Cult. Not from Watchtower Org) for All.
      They aren't Self Serving or Self Absorbed.

      We have pictures of family and friends up in our homes right? We might even have pictures of celebrities but we don't worship them/give them undue attention...

    I have challenged JWs on this issue so many times. How did Jesus communicate to their Org that He chose them? How did they find out? I never got a straight answer.
    There are some things you can add to this. Russell thought God lived in the Pleiades star cluster.
    There is also the issue of remeasuring the pyramid to come up with a new date. The previous measurement was off by 40". 1914 is 40 years after 1874.
    I used to keep copies of all these things at a table by my door for easy access when the JWs came calling. They haven't been by in years except a couple of times to invite me to their annual ceremony around Passover. Covid kept them away but they stopped coming before that.

    These JW's here who claim there are no Scriptures that show Jesus is God is a classic example of intellectual dishonesty, especially in lieu of the pastors citation of Ex 3:14 cf. Jn 8:48-59. Of course they might say its one example.. How about John 5:18??
    Jn 5:18, "Therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill Him, because He not only broke the Sabbath, but also said that God was His Father, making Himself equal with God..."
    Now why would they want to kill Him that much more if they had known He were created or mere man like themselves?? Would they've ever concluded that He was equal with God under such notions?? Hardly.

Later we see David ‘s music is the cure, and God is forcing Saul to see who the promised king is, as a reminder of God’s sovereignty.

      Your explanations are highly disturbing.
      How can you claim that the organization has learned from its heresies and errors of the past?
      If you are honest, you have to admit that for many decades the organization publicly proclaimed that the generation of other sheep that was already alive in 1914 would survive Armageddon.
      This doctrine was spread millions of times throughout the world until 1995 as an incontrovertible divine truth.
      This doctrine had to be finally buried in 1995, since the organization had simply been refuted by chronology.
      However, this doctrine was revived a few years ago in the form of the "overlapping generation", which is still based on the year 1914.
      This doctrine, therefore, again amounts to an end-time prediction in the name of God.
      Jehovah's organization compels its members to recognize this doctrine as absolute divine truth and, if necessary, to defend it in missionary service.
      With this in mind, as a proponent of the organization's teachings, you must be prepared to answer the following questions:
      Questions:
      ===========
      1.) What statements or sources in the New Testament can you cite to biblically justify this particular doctrine?
      2.) What are the consequences for those members of your organization who refuse to accept this doctrine in the face of the failure of all previous predictions?

    Anyone can criticise but that's not God's way. He is able to look past fault if a person sincerely changes their ways...
    Here's some examples....
    Joshua 6:25 New Living Translation
    So *Joshua spared Rahab the prostitute and her relatives* who were with her in the house, *because she had hidden the spies Joshua sent to Jericho. And she lives among the Israelites to this day.*
    Matthew 1:5,16 New Living Translation
    *The Ancestors of Jesus the Messiah*
    5Salmon was the father of Boaz *(whose mother was Rahab).* Boaz was the father of Obed (whose mother was Ruth). Obed was the father of Jesse.
    16Jacob was the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary.
    *Mary gave birth to Jesus, who is called the Messiah.*
    Hebrews 11:31 New Living Translation
    *It was by faith that Rahab the prostitute was not destroyed* with the people in her city who refused to obey God. *For she had given a friendly welcome to the spies.*
    Rahab was a prostitute but turned her life around when she had the opportunity. *She even had the great privilege of becoming an ancestress to Jesus the promised Messiah/Christ. She is recorded in the bible for billions to learn from and immitate her faith...*
    Bad start, but what did God focus on?
    2 Chronicles 33:1-17 New Living Translation
    Manasseh Rules in Judah
    1Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-five years. 2He did what was evil in the LORD’s sight, following the detestable practices of the pagan nations that the LORD had driven from the land ahead of the Israelites. *3He rebuilt the pagan shrines his father, Hezekiah, had broken down. He constructed altars for the images of Baal and set up Asherah poles. He also bowed before all the powers of the heavens and worshiped them.
    4He built pagan altars in the Temple of the LORD,* the place where the LORD had said, “My name will remain in Jerusalem forever.” 5He built these altars for all the powers of the heavens in both courtyards of the LORD’s Temple. *6Manasseh also sacrificed his own sons in the firea in the valley of Ben-Hinnom.* He practiced sorcery, divination, and witchcraft, and he consulted with mediums and psychics. He did much that was evil in the LORD’s sight, arousing his anger.
    7Manasseh even took a carved idol he had made and set it up in God’s Temple, the very place where God had told David and his son Solomon: “My name will be honored forever in this Temple and in Jerusalem-the city I have chosen from among all the tribes of Israel. 8If the Israelites will be careful to obey my commands-all the laws, decrees, and regulations given through Moses-I will not send them into exile from this land that I set aside for your ancestors.” 9But *Manasseh led the people of Judah and Jerusalem to do even more evil than the pagan nations that the LORD had destroyed when the people of Israel entered the land.*
    *12But while in deep distress, Manasseh sought the LORD his God and sincerely humbled himself before the God of his ancestors. 13And when he prayed, the LORD listened to him and was moved by his request.* So the LORD brought Manasseh back to Jerusalem and to his kingdom. Then Manasseh finally realized that the LORD alone is God!
    14After this Manasseh rebuilt the outer wall of the City of David, from west of the Gihon Spring in the Kidron Valley to the Fish Gate, and continuing around the hill of Ophel. He built the wall very high. And he stationed his military officers in all of the fortified towns of Judah. 15Manasseh also removed the foreign gods and the idol from the LORD’s Temple. He tore down all the altars he had built on the hill where the Temple stood and all the altars that were in Jerusalem, and he dumped them outside the city. 16Then he restored the altar of the LORD and sacrificed peace offerings and thanksgiving offerings on it. *He also encouraged the people of Judah to worship the LORD, the God of Israel. 17However, the people still sacrificed at the pagan shrines, though only to the LORD their God.*
    *King Manasseh did indescribable bad deeds, even sacrificing his own children in the fire. He promoted false worship and encouraged the people into it. However, he changed.* And he did what he could to reform his ways and right his wrongs.
    *What did God focus on? Now he's in the bible for billions to learn from....*
    Jehovah's Witnesses know the history of the organisation. But like one positive person said "you can't successful drive forward if you focus on looking in the rear view mirror."
    Isaiah 38:17 New International Version
    Surely it was for my benefit that I suffered such anguish. *In your love you kept me from the pit of destruction; you have put all my sins behind your back.*
    In other words Jehovah's Witnesses have focused on making improvements in understanding the bible and in day to day living since the late 19th Century. They look forward...
    Isaiah 43:25 New Living Translation
    “I-yes, *I alone-will blot out your sins for my own sake and will never think of them again.*
    What's interesting about that chapter is its where Jehovah's Witnesses get their name from...
    Isaiah 43:10 Aramaic Bible in Plain English
    *You are my witnesses, says LORD JEHOVAH,* and my Servants whom I have chosen, and you shall know, and you shall believe in me, and you shall understand that I am he, and before me there has not been a God created, and none shall be after me
    In short that would mean that Jehovah God saw all errors made in the past and blotted/wiped them out like marker on a whiteboard. *He no longer focuses on past mistakes of individuals or his organisation.... there's a clear lesson in that if we're open to learning it....*

      @@mo2874 You are citing examples from the Old Testament to justify the many heresies of the Watchtower Society.
      Above all, it cannot be denied that Russell and Rutherford, despite their many false predictions and satanic teachings (propagation of the pyramid doctrine), enjoy the status of saints within the organization.
      Therefore, it is necessary to remind you that we are living in the time of the New Covenant.
      For the present epoch, the commandments and rules as they have been handed down to us in the writings of the New Testament apply.
      With this in mind, a few days ago I presented to you the following Bible text from your favorite version of the Bible and my subsequent question.
      In this respect, all Bible readers are obliged to pay special attention to the admonitions and commandments of the authors of the New Testament.
      Instead of glossing over the heresies of the Watchtower Society by referring to episodes from the Old Testament, you should not shirk the obligation to face the answer to the following question.
      In this letter, Paul exhorts his confreres not to follow anyone who claims that the "parousia Christi" or "the day of the Lord" has already begun.
      2 Thessalonians 2,1-5 ( N W T Study Edition)
      "1 However, brothers, concerning the p r e s e n c e (note: greek: " P a r o u s i a " ) of our L o r d J e s u s Christ and

      5 Do you not remember that when I was still with you, I used to tell you these things?
      In this context, Paul mentions the term "parousia" in the same breath as the act of uniting Christians with Jesus Christ. (2 Thessalonians 2:1-2)
      In the course of his second letter to this church, Paul reminds his confreres of the message in his previous letter. (2 Thessalonians 2:15, versus 1 Thessalonians 4:14-18).
      2 Timothy 2,15 ( N W T Study Edition)
      "15 So, then, brothers, stand firms and maintain your hold on the traditions that you were taught, whether it was by a spoken message or b y a l e t t e r f r o m u s ."
      Those who have internalized the core message in these letters need no additional instruction as to why the apostle Paul condemned his two confreres, Hymenaeus and Philetus, even though they were obviously zealous in carrying out their missionary service in the name of Jesus Christ.
      2 Timothy 2,16- 18 ( N W T Study Edition)
      "16 But reject empty speeches that violate what is holy, for they will lead to more and more ungodliness,
      17 and their word will spread like gangrene. H y · m e · n a e ʹ u s and P h i · l e ʹ t u s are among them.
      18 These men have d e v i a t e d f r o m t h e t r u t h , saying that the r e s u r r e c t i o n h a s a l r e a d y o c c u r r e d , and they are s u b v e r t i n g t h e f a i t h o f s o m e ."
      With this in mind, I take the liberty of repeating my question to you as follows.
      Question:
      ========
      Why, in his letter to Timothy, did Paul condemn his confreres Hymeneus and Philetus even though they continued to carry out their missionary service in the name of Jesus Christ?
