Homerovah the Almighty

A consortium of business ventures , the most heinous of being religious false teachers of the gospel and commercialized it in literature sales.

The Watch Tower Society of the William Henry Conley and Charles Taze Russell era started out as a business. When the Watch Tower Society was founded in 1881, William Conley donated $3500 of the $5000 original capital. Joseph Russell donated $1000, with Charles Taze Russell donating only $500.

The readers of the company's pamphlets were just readers of the company's pamphlets. They were not organized, they were not a religion. Mostly they didn't know each other. If they were associated with a religion at all, they were an eclectic unorganized group.

Mr. Rutherford hijacked the business and turned it into a political subversion organization. Just read his writings and listen to his rants. It was still a business.

When my dad started dragging us to meetings in 1950 when I was 6 and 7 years old, Jehovah's Witnesses advertised they were NOT a religion. They did advertise that they were a business.

About 1953 Knorr and company were in danger of losing their tax exempt status and they quickly changed their nature and started to advertise that they were now a religion.

Now, the Watch Corporations are just a BIG business and the Jehovah's Witness people are just their customers, fundraisers, and labor pool.

Both. They are a religion because they have a set of rules based on some sacred scriptures, with supernatural consequences for breaking these rules. And they are a business because part of the rules are that people have to go out and sell littera-trash. However, they are trying more to disguise the business aspect to avoid paying taxes--hence, the houndings for more "voluntary" donations.

I didn't realize there is a difference! What religion doesn't make money of their flock? If they didn't they would be out of business. Religion is business under the banner of God. You can study bible for free, if you want to be with a religion it will cost you.

Where have I heard that before.

Sounds very much like the businesses of today
