  Freddy Franz, the great WT prognosticator, had a lot of time on his hands in the 1950’s to come up with the strangest end-time assertions and create a sense of urgency. Occasionally, he would even prognosticate approximate amounts of JWs who would actually survive Armageddon and never die. For example…

  Already there are reported over a half million serving as witnesses in the newborn land with the New World society. Are we willing to work on until Jehovah God has made the blessed population of the theocratic land to number, say, millions , who for having fled there and faithfully living there will survive Armageddon and need never die off the face of the new earth? If we are willing, God’s good news of the Kingdom and his warning of vengeance for the foes of the Kingdom must be our message down till Armageddon and we will not let those words of God depart from our mouths until the desolation of Satan’s old world is complete and the earth as well as heaven is clean. That supreme event is near! – Watchtower September 15, 1953 page 570 paragraph 16

  But Freddy had about 3 months to “rethink” this and then decided to reduce the number of Armageddon survivors to only "hundreds of thousands":

  Particularly since 1935 he has done the same thing for the many captive “other sheep,” prisoners in the same Babylonish world. By bringing them out Jehovah began having the desirable ones of all nations come in, that thus his house of worship might be filled with glory. (Hag. 2:7, AS) He knew that the limited thousands of the remnant were not the only ones now on earth who wanted to worship God aright. Mankind, who are made of the earth, were originally made for worshiping the live, true God on earth forever. In tune with that original purpose, Jehovah will have such worshipers on earth forever, and so he starts right now with having such on earth for good. He starts with the hundreds of thousands of the “great crowd” of other sheep, who will survive Armageddon and, keeping integrity, will never die . – Watchtower 15 December 1953 page 758 paragragh 32

  Now why would Freddy say millions would never die and then hundreds of thousands will never die? Maybe his jewish “body guard” Natheer Salih has something to do with this… who knows?

  So how does the Watchtower cult get followers to do an extremely antagonistic duty of door to door? Ans-They scare you into it I was told over and over that we would all do the horrible warning work and if I "couldn't do it in easy times how will I do it at the great tribulation"? The JW 'Warning Message'.
  How and why Jehovah Witnesses perform like a terrorist group.As an impressionable child I was phobic indoctrinated with doomsday preparations about the Watchtowers coming 'warning work'. That we would some day 'soon' be required by Jehovah our God to go door to door and declare to every home with a judgemental proclamation,'that every man,woman,child is about to die horribly' and the only salvation is the JW who are no longer allowing anyone into their 'ark of salvation'. This very inflammatory hate message would incite jealous non believers to 'attack God's anointed' and provoke his wrath to bring about Armageddon with only JW who were obedient and trusting in Jehovah permitted to survive. (We were all told this over and over and when I bring it up in post today JW apologist say I am lying)

  refried- Just show them the pics of 'worldly people' dying in the Revelation Climax book and the older Paradise Lost book. Propaganda at its finest.

  My daughter was emotionally distrubed by that pic and the others in the RGC book. It took her years to really get over that indoctrination, it really is a form of child abuse.

  Refried - I remember that SO clearly....that and the bloodguilt ..... foisted on a kid, no wonder i grew up with serious anxiety and panic issues. Exacerbated by the fact that by nature I was/am non-confrontational and like to keep peaceful relations with all.... that was absolutely the deal...you preach and eventually the message will change as per jeremiah from irenic to polemic....and the polemic means that you will be going around telling people that they are about to be violently killed - but you, because of your bravery and martyrdom will survive!!!!!!!!

  Refried is so right.....I well remember the expectation that we would have the "privilige" of going around relling them that they had had their chance and blown it..They should have listened when we called before, and now it is too late !

  The Bros loved that idea, they were really looking forward to it.

  WT 65 7/1 p 399

  "Says the book “Babylon the Great Has Fallen!” God’s Kingdom Rules! on pages 574, 575:

  The hard, unyielding message of God’s vengeance against Satan’s visible organization will at last pelt men. It will presage their destruction. The symbolic hailstorm was not meant or expected to convert mankind at that late development of world affairs. . . . The fact that ‘the plague of it was unusually great’ foreshows that at the last there will be an unusually great proclamation of God’s vengeance by Jehovah’s witnesses.” Based on that comment, we ask the question: Since this plaguing hail-like message will not convert men, why will it be delivered? So that the wicked will know for a certainty who is causing their destruction and why."

  right on Blues.....

  Since this plaguing hail-like message will not convert men, why will it be delivered? So that the wicked will know for a certainty who is causing their

  destruction and why."

  I remember as a kid thinking how all those bullies at school who picked on me would finally know in the last moments before their horrible death that I, wallsofjericho, was right all along and that they would be fraught with guilt and sorrow for being so stupid to have ever made fun of ME... a TRUE servant of Jehovah!

  How could anyone ever suggest that that is a healthy thought for a young child? JW's will say that's not what they encourage but that is such a lame duck. All JW's know that all JW's revel in the thought of such pay back. "Vengeance is mine says Jehovah!".

  Oh ya, and after Jehovah kills all those jerks I am going to live in their big houses too!
