REMOVAL / DESTRUCTION OF THE GOVERNING BODY

[James Thomas Rook Jr.]

 

 

**********************************

I suppose it all comes down to the issue of credibility of the one doing the analysis of unseen, invisible things that happened a hundred years ago.

How many times has the WTB&TS been right?,  and

How many times has the WTB&TS been wrong?

If God does not want to use those Orgs then it would seem sensible for God to set up a new Org for His purposes. 

Then there's no need to worry is there?

The reason the Brothers were imprisoned for sedition, etc ... IS THAT THEY WERE GUILTY !

There was a little bit more to that. The government misunderstood neutrality for sedition. If I remembered right, in one of his books (The finished mystery)  Rutherford spoke rather brashly (as was his custom sometimes) about the evilness of Christendom and war. Those particular quotes were later removed, but before that, they did provoke Christendom to point fingers and get the brothers in trouble any which way they could, and one of these was to accuse them of sedition.

They wouldn't have been acquitted of all charges had they been guilty.

If they were not guilty of sedition ... then why did they later remove seditious elements from the Society's publications.?

Hmmmmmm ?

For a second, I thought you were praising the death of someone. Then I looked further.

Among all things, regardless of what anyone says, the Bible holds true to word of what will happen to the wicked. And it is going to be far worse of what we read of things in the Hebrew Old Testament.

No one has gotten the Watchtower history right, yet! Therefore, the only one thinking the watchtower broke the law in wartime is you James.

That's because I am the only one that got the history right!

I am freaking AWESOME!

Good Detectives detect much.

With the same facts, bad Detectives detect nothing.

...  you have my condolences.

Because they were understood (misunderstood) to be seditious by others. Later, the brothers regretted that they removed them.  The 1975 Yearbook of Jehovah’s Witnesses commented on the incident on page 119:

"After their trialsome period of 1917-1919, Jehovah’s people subjected themselves to scrutiny. Realizing that they had acted in ways that did not meet with God’s approval, they sought forgiveness in prayer repenting of their former course. This led to Jehovah’s forgiveness and blessing. One compromise had been the cutting of pages from The Finished Mystery, this to please those who had assumed the position of censor".

Something from waaaaaay back:

.... a little souvenir from the early 1970's I keep as a memento of interesting times ... and to surreptitiously quick  flash when I show a traffic officer my drivers license.

The gold flash has gotten me out of seven speeding tickets, and I never asked for any consideration, and never gave any explanation.

My eldest son was stunned when I got stopped in a 35mph zone doing 57 miles per hour.. When we pulled off without a ticket he said "I gotta get me one of those!".

By the way ... the little red thingies are Chicken Nipples.  They sell them on Amazon.

.... really!

I see what you posted as after the fact spin.

Perhaps The WT Society (as New Government on Earth after Armageddon) similarly misunderstand many ex JW who want to be "neutral" on acts and laws of WT Society. And try to act according to own Conscience. By that they were, in eyes of WT Society, acted as "traitors" aka apostates.

Sedition, crime against the state. Though sedition may have the same ultimate effect as treason, it is generally limited to the offense of organizing or encouraging opposition to government in a manner (such as in speech or writing) that falls short of the more dangerous offenses constituting treason. - https://www.britannica.com/topic/sedition

Sedition is the illegal act of inciting people to resist or rebel against the government in power.

I see this from text.

First, they "Compromise their Neutrality" by Obeying Censor and Not God. :)))

Second, why to speak about Worldly things (wars and weapons and politics) IF they want to be "Neutral" about Politics and Worldly Things? :))) IF someone want to be Neutral about something then He/They Have NO Opinion on something or at least They must "shut their mouth" and NOT to Tell WHAT IS Their Opinion, Thinking, Attitude. :)))) With this behavior you show your "neutrality"!  :)) and not taking sides.
