Possible clue to the "Big" Announcement!!

Lady Liberty

Hello everyone,

My husband, the Black Pearl, had a interesting conversation with his mother today. She was trying to be all kiss butt nice, for today that is, to tell him about the new tract that is coming out in October. Apparently they don't have it yet. Well she made a statement that makes me think the tracts title IS the "big" announcement!!

She said something like, the tact has a big announcement about false religins end is near! My husband said, "And how is this big announcement any different then what they have been saying for years now??"

She didn't have much of a reply. Anyhow.. maybe THAT is the big announcement we have been hearing about. The reason I think this, is, she used the same phrase that we have been hearing hear on this forum for months. It doesn't explain though what we have heard about the announcement being hard for some to accept, and that the Society is worried about how some will react.

Anyhow.. just thought I'd throw this out there and let you guys kick it around a bit!

Oh.. one last thing.. I asked my husband if he told his mom that we had already read the tract and seen it?? He said no, he didn't want to let her know.. but I think it would have been funny!

Take care all,

Sincerely,

Lady Liberty

My sister told me that they were told at the convention this summer that many people were not going to like this tract. She also said that they were told that persecution was probably going to increase. I am sure this tract may drum up some persecution. Mimimimi made the above statement on a different thread. OK.. I think I maybe putting things together here. With her comment, and the comment my mother in-law made today, I bet you dollars to doughnuts the tract title IS the "Big" announcement!!! What do you all think??? Sincerely, Lady Liberty

I think you're most likely right about the "announcement"

Oh.. one last thing.. I asked my husband if he told his mom that we had already read the tract and seen it?? He said no, he didn't want to let her know.. but I think it would have been funny!

In situations like this I can't resist. The look on the JW's faces when you know something before they do is priceless.

Dear Startingover,

I know, I can't either. I think he didn't want to give her anymore reason to believe we were apostate. She would of for sure asked where we had seen it, knowing full well it was probably on the internet. Just a funny example of your comment: My grandmother who is very active still tells my parents, in a bragging way, about all the exciting new changes in the up and coming KM regarding the Revelation book. They had not yet recieved it. My dads reply was something like, "Oh yeah we had that KM months ago and have gone over them all already." She was BLOWNAWAY!!! I believe he asked her if she wanted him to give her a copy, but she said no she would wait for hers to come out at the hall!! What is so funny is she doesn't have the internet, and is clueless to the power of information it contains!! I would have LOVED to see her face! It would have been priceless!

Sincerely,

Lady Liberty

Actually what the society teaches is that all those who follow them will go down when false religion goes down. What is crazy is all these people listen to the ones who are going to take them out when false religion is destroyed. The sad part is it is so simple to see if you read your bible and yet they follow like little puppy dogs follow their master. I have learned one thing since coming away from that cult is I will never ever allow myself to be decieved again. I now know that all things are researchable and they will not fool me again....My religion is Jesus Christ and that is whre it stays till I die.

They are loosing a lot of people so they have to bring more in. My hubby and I were reading about how Rutherford used to write scathing things against the churches so that the JWs would be severely persecuted in some areas and he used this tactic to drum up support from people who felt sorry for them. Do you think this will be the case? Mayber the WT thinks if people think the harmless JW's are being persecuted just for their belief in Jesus - as opposed to believing all the earth is scum compared to them, they will get new converts? If so, I hope it backfires on them. Lilly

The JWs are like a single flea on a dogs back, an insignificant irritant. With terrorism etc people will have little time for yet another sect that tries to create yet more division. Around here people are too worried about being attacked by Muslim extremists to give more than a cursory glance to some nuts handing out tracts.

At the train station I see a lot of people giving out things, get rich quick leaflets, political extremist mags, religious nuts and feel sorry for those loosers. Most people look on JWs in the same way.

Dear Loveylil,

This is my gut feeling: That the Society is SCARRED to DEATH that they are losing hold of the rank and file. Especialy because of all that ones are finding on the internet, and then leaving. Imagine how many reports go back to the headquarters of yet more and more with serious questions! They havetobe scared. The only way to pull people back in who are just starting to doubt, it to create a hype, and to create fear! Not to mention likely to a degree, they will be creating their own perscution by their bold statements. I think it is all planned out and is very deliberate!! As said before, they can use their persecution to identify them as being the only faith, "with God". There definately is a method to their madness. Like you were saying Russell pulled the same type of crap!

What a joke! The hype will fade, in time, when nothing happens. And it will do alot more damage in the long run I believe.

Sincerely,

Lady Liberty

LL,

I agree with you 100%. Only it was Rutherford who drumbed up those events for publicity not Russell. Lilly

Lady Liberty

Oops sorry..Rutherford. I need to go to bed. I am getting too tied to keep my thoughts together.

Sincerely,

Lady Liberty
