  Actually I am starting to think, that Rutherfords god Jehovah, is not the God we thought he was. What I am trying to say here is, that there is Jehovah .... and then there is the real Creator God who's name is so all powerful that we can't know it! And so it was not revealed to us by Him or Christ Jesus. If Father, is the name that Christ shows us to use, .... then what is it about FATHER that Rutherford didn't understand! ??

  Yes--if I'm going to accept the notion of GOD.....this GOD cannot fit into the human mind. Completely unknowable.

  To give GOD a name like a housepet is beyond ridiculous.

  JW's talk about Jehovah this and Jehovah that like they are high school buddies or something.

  Totally too familiar and little in the way of awe.

  So what are the hints we have in this symbol? The Great Pyramid and some hen scratch that represents a name or the name of a god. Where does it all come from? What is the meaning of this architypal icon? Could this have anything to do with the Mystery of Giza?

  

  Cymatics and Ancient Egypt have fascinated John, inventor and developer of the CymaScope, an innovative 21st century sonic instrument. Working in his lab in the Lake District of England and traveling to Egypt and the Great Pyramids, he has studied sound and the effect of tones to create geometric patterns resembling everything from hieroglyphs, mandalas, crop circles and sacred geometry shapes. Listen as John shares his experience on a trip to Egypt to research the influence of sound within the Great Pyramids. Among other discoveries, when he toned within the kings chamber, he created glyphs on a sarcophagus that mimicked ancient Egyptian symbols.

  The Watchtower Society is a group of cherry pickers when it comes to references.

  They specialize in partial quotes, untidy contexts, intellectually dishonest bracketing of sources and plain old stupidity.

  The "Truth" was fresh to Russell's fans.

  Rutherford made it an assault weapon on the churches (especially Catholicism) and Government.

  Knorr turned it into an "education" work and Franz and the Governing Body have wrung all the juice out of the crackpot ideas that can be wrung.

  We are now in the "maintainance" stage of Thought Police and Inquisition.

  They are spackling up all the cracks in their cheesy past as best they can.

  There will be nothing new from now on.
