If you allow me to say this way: Do not put your faith in interpretations of prophecies.

While the United States has 707 incarcerated people per 100,000 citizens, for example, China has 124 to 172 per 100,000 people and Iran 284 per 100,000. ......."No other country in the world imprisons its citizens as we do in the United States," Haney says. - October 2014, Vol 45, No. 9 Print version: page 56 source: https://www.apa.org/monitor/2014/10/incarceration Perhaps Arauna has reminiscence on Cultural Revolution in China under Mao, from 1966 period.

This instruction was in time period when they have been "inspired". Later, things are changed but instructions from "above" continued to come down somehow. :))))

In simple words you said very strong and deep thought.

Thanks God we have expert like you on OCD, NPD ..... and all other "health deviations". You are able, with only read our comments and see our pictures, to make medical diagnosis on distance. Some spiritual medium also want to make people believe they can do similar things :)) Of course you are not spiritual medium, do not misunderstand my illustration. :))

hack verb (CUT) [ I or T, + adv/prep ] to cut into pieces in a rough and violent way, often without aiming exactly - https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/hack @TrueTomHarley and @JW Insider is this what you doing with "certain people" here? :))

Well, how would look like WT artistic picture about this: who and how clean His buttock after He had big toilet need as baby and in more few years in His childhood? And after, He has doing that by himself. Do we need those pictures too?

Amazing! With this you tell us how scripture /verses/ are in "boundaries" because interpretations made by human aka WT Society making spiritual boundaries inside all is explainable and in harmony with "every New Light" that coming from WT Society Spiritual Well. Spirit that is behind scripture/verses, is not tied with WT Society "boundaries".

What is very significant is size of letters in this quote. I suggest, if i may, that letters in by you and your kind. need to be even smaller, smaller and smaller and to be finally invisible. Speaking about "your kind" telling also to what kind you belong! :)))

Does this sort of behavior, that other society groups shows in their environment, is also Bible based and approved by God, no matter of fact that they are not JW's? Can we conclude how they also doing God's will, no matter of their spiritual position before that same God and because they belong, or not belong, to some religion, but not to JW religion? If i would judge myself, i would agree with picture how i am very naive :)) But we are not speaking about me or you. We making observation on JW religion, their history and present time. My world is "small" :)) and i will not return back any idea about your "world", because that is not of my concern. I want to speak about "Ideas", not about people and their's "small or big worlds". We can talk about "JW standards"and "WT Society standards". I hope you will accept this humble direction about/for our future conversation. :))

I am not talking about you Sir. I am not member of any church. Evidence shows that our memory isn’t as consistent as we’d like to believe. What’s worse, we’re often guilty of changing the facts and adding false details to our memories without even realising. - https://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/memories-unreliable-science-brain-false-memory-remembering-a8687296.html

It is proved by experience and science that memory about past events drops by time. More time gap, more holes in memory and wrong, error testimony about details of event. Well, this few brothers who are in fact "apostates" of their Small Church, speaking about their experience that was happened before 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40 years? No. They are talking about event that took place more than 44 years ago. Only thing that can be accepted as true report is, that they were been members of some church and then became JW members. :)) Other details are in the air. Drill is today as before for newbie, read JW publication, have BS, go to meetings, go to preaching and go to baptism. Ex members of Small Church didn't tell us what was the name of that Small Church, it is unknown, even in their testimony in video, no single "witness" gave any data to what Small Church they belong before came to be JW !!! Why?

-small church -1000 small church members want to have BS with JW's -half of small church members (1000 men) -having BS in KH (only men , all in suits and with ties, of small church without women and children. This sound like some Bible report that never mentioned number of whole people but only grown male number aka people who can carry a sword :))) -what sort of people, in some small church, will abandon their church in one week and want to left their faith to go to another church?? -why to speak about 1970's preaching experience when (and dig up again 1975 Armageddon) when nowadays Society building more KH and bringing more people in silent service with Cart witnessing than ever :))

Conversation is like net. We building issue and upgrading it with many details on main structure. At first it looked as they are not connected with first subject of title that gathered us to speak. But everything we mentioned in short or long way, talking about bigger, whole picture we all looking from various (different and opposite) angles and standpoints. Think how this is instance of what is happened here with Letter. Because, how would you explain "big jump" from main issue about JW opposers to less important, or perhaps trivial conversation in comparison to main subject, about what Jesus did look like :)). Our friend @James Thomas Rook Jr. had put green frog-like creature. This Green remake is parody under question about how person in question would look in some artistic mind ............................ or how "opposers" look like ...to some JW's :)))))

:))))) now you sound like Adam. He blamed Eve :))) Word by word, little by You, little by @Arauna on 1940's, racist, time frame and similar... what do you expect from @Witness and me ... how should/would we react? :)))

Supreme Court denied Petition made by WT Society. https://www.supremecourt.gov/search.aspx?filename=/docket/docketfiles/html/public/19-40.html

I will highlighted in red color some parts of text, and add some comment... and apologize for too much text :)) How did WT Society see Nazi German period, when Society were "young"? How looked time frame for Society? In this scholar analysis, author saw how JW Organization and members had WRONG Scripture interpretations, expectations, doctrine and beliefs in this, so called, Time Frame. As few times before and after this time point, too. By using this Book analysis, i would conclude how Spiritual Leaders of WT Society in that period of time (and today, too) had been led by Time Frame and own understanding, more than by Bible, Spirit, Angel, Prayer etc. Well, according to this, German leadership knew details from Letter and general membership Not. And how would You feel if somebody call you "Antichrist" and that you will be destroy in the "coming battle of the end" if not kneel down to Jesus Representatives on Earth aka WT Society? Again, WT Society made collective atmosphere of "hysteria" about how end of the world is here, so why not to give your life as member, because tomorrow you will be resurrected? Time Frame, again. But this is Inside Work of how so called Time Frame have to look if you are JW. Again, to copy paste: These straightforward statements left the Reichskanzler with only two possible conclusions: either the Declaration was the product of the collective imaginations of some crazed religious group or, it was, in its mad boldness, a declaration of war from a David against a Goliath. Here we see, how this book's "worldly" perspective was clearly said what JW members do not see. Declaration was product of one or of both facts. That JW was in "collective imagination" and that they "declare war to Hitler". Really? Is this true? In what Time Frame is this statement true and in what Time Frame it is a lie? WT Society saw political situation of the world in absurd imagination of Own Time Frame. All credit we can give to those JW who resist the "evil", even if they done that with lack of rational human mind. Other people also resist the evil, passively too. Some other had fight against evil and win it (temporary) and that is why this biblical-fundamentalist Christian group not ended in elimination. Or if you want it in this way: God allowed such outcome. What ever that means, because in JW terminology "allowed" doesn't mean how God approved or justified something.

Are we talking about: "new" light, "changed" light or about drinking too much"alcohol"?

In answering on this and many more, we can use words; Yes, No, I don't know, You don't now, I am right, You are wrong .... but "the best" answers are on JW official web sites ................ ........ :))) from Bible Students era till now.

Artists are people who need inspiration for their works. In the absence of divine inspiration, the inspiration of this worldly world is also good, enough for making pictures. :))

If by Org you mean WT Society (American Company established in 19th century ) with every Corporations that is connected with Jehovah Witnesses people (all sisters or subsidiary companies, perhaps someone who knows better can explain what is legal relations between all this Corporations) and if by JW's you mean all baptized brotherhood (children, sisters and brothers of all ages) than you wrongly made conclusion how Second Class giving direction to and guiding First Class (including GB, who working and sleeping and eating in WT Society buildings and, as they said are not WT employees but they are, reading from your idea, are elected by Brotherhood not to Guide and Lead JW's but to be Body of Something). :))

Sorry, but you started to speak about Rutherford's feelings. :)) (bold red letter is mine) I will accept your corrections if your corrections are correct :))

I am not sure about this. Where in a Bible was clearly said that people died in Armageddon have no hope for resurrection? In WT explanation, Adam and Eve death was not like death of all people after them. Adam and Eve not died in Armageddon. Perhaps, when Revelation book talking about Second Death and Lake of Fire, it is some base to talking about no resurrection hope. But Armageddon has not described in Bible as Final Death, Second Death or Lake of Fire. Second Death is obviously something that happened to Adam and Eve. Teaching is how they will not be resurrected. Also, according to WT interpretation on Revelation verses, at the and of 1000 years there will be Final Test and Second Death for those not passed the test. Even "Normal Death" will be "hurled" into the Lake of Fire and died there. But even with that fact, death is eternal, because God is in power to destroy life whenever ever He found how that is justified. In my opinion, if God not want to resurrect some people from the past until today, that would mean how these people not died just as result of Adam sin, but how such death is already categorized as Second Death. By that logic, Armageddon is not and will not be, unique and only place and time from where and when is not possible to come to life again. Noah Flood, Sodom and Gomorrah, Jew's Holy Wars and some other examples are examples where Organization gave interpretations on issue of death and resurrection. If Armageddon, as you said, is Final Judgement with death sentence, than previous and future (after Armageddon) judgements are what? Final or Temporary judgements? Does Revelation book has Literal or Allegorical meanings? How you decide what is Literal and what is not?

Well, by this you telling us how "his feeling" about something, he put on paper and then, he or his friends, came to idea to spread around the world "his feeling" with help of religious publications in purpose to teach people about Words of God. ?? They (WT Society) claim how printing and publishing publications is for that purpose, to spread "God's word" around the globe to educate people .... with Rutherford's feelings and feelings of his friends ??!! Hold a minute please. For a very long, long time WT Society claims how not one person in Organization and nothing published in/by WT Society is not "inspired by God". And now this statement of your want to show us, how because God not inspired his people, we need some individuals/people (Rutherford and others) who will inspire other people. But you are brave to say in responding to @Witness how we are instruments inspired by evil: :))))) sad and fun Of course! And because of that you are in the same group as many others who don't know much about WT history. Apologize, but your own recognition on this, disqualified you from jury of those who are able to recognize how good or poor is someone person's knowledge about WT history. :))

If dead in Armageddon is not final, and if that means people can be resurrected because of special reasons God have, despite death in Armageddon, than ....
