Crumbs for the Bottom, Banquets for the Top

What will it take for blue-collar, middle-to-lower suburbia, struggling rural, and working poor to understand that they do not benefit from the policies and aims of this administration? I do not understand how this administration has been able to mislead demographics like NASCAR fans and Southern Baptists into the ranks of the supporters. As interest rates and prices rise, recognition is growing. Here’s another piece of sneaky legislation: Frist has proposed holding a vote to see if estate tax cuts…

JWs: From Bible Students to Slaves

JWs: From Bible Students to Slaves

Comments 13 comments

Under founder Charles Taze Russell, “International Bible Students” were somewhat anti-organizational, centered on personal study of the Bible. Watchtower, Sept. 15, 1895, p. 216. Beware of ‘organization.’ It is wholly unnecessary. The Bible rules will be the only rules you will need. Do not seek to bind others’ consciences, and do not permit others to bind yours. Believe and obey so far as you can understand God’s Word today. A couple of years after Russell’s death, that view was already…
