Who in their right mind would steal cheese from a dead rat's mouth?
Keep that question in mind for a moment (as unpleasant as it may well be!)
If you are a lurker or if you are fence-sitting while remaining a JW.....
Or, if you are a fader or DF'd ex-JW you will need to know something extremely important that over shadows almost all other considerations about this religion.
Consider, then, the following illustration.
No sane person walks into a trap with their eyes wide open!
No rational thinker sets foot beyond safety where a big BOLD sign is posted with a WARNING!!
Yet, it happens. It HAS happened to many of us!
And guess what? None of us is insane or truly irrational. Not really.
So what do I mean and what explains this assertion?
I call it STEALING CHEESE FROM A DEAD RAT'S MOUTH.
By that unsavory phrase this is what I intend to demonstrate.
The Watchtower Society has had three vivid and embarrassing historical disasters where it was publicly and universally demonstrated to be a fraud run by fools.
It is like looking at a very smart rat sniffing at cheese in giant mousetrap.
The Watchtower leaders sniffed at the cheese and proclaimed loudly: I'm the only rat in the world who can feed the rest of you!
At that point the killing bar crashes down on the back of their neck with a resounding SNAP!
Then, the next Rat comes along and distributes the cheese from the dead rat's mouth.
The next Watchtower leader takes what the previous leader COMPLETELY FAILED AT and distributes it to the rest of the mice.
The first loud SNAP was in 1914 when Armageddon was predicted and the destruction of world religion was foretold.
Pastor Russell was DEAD WRONG!
But, the next rat (Judge Rutherford0 pulled the cheese out of Russell's mouth and started feeding it to the Bible Students who had been given the refuted promises.
And they fed on the lies like mice nibble cheese!
The second loud SNAP was in 1925 when Armageddon was predicted and the resurrection of the ancient worthies was proclaimed as the central message in a sermon titled: MILLIONS NOW LIVING WILL NEVER DIE!
Ever heard of that one? Sure you have! Because Rutherford made an ass (or dead rat) out of himself and everybody else with it.
Freddy Franz and Nathan Knorr pulled that rotting cheese out of Rutherford's mouth and started immediately feeding it to the Jehovah's Witnesses.
The bible students groups had fallen away and vociferously opposed all of Rutherford's lies by the time he RENAMED the rotten cheese: JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES, you see.
The third loud SNAP was in 1975 when Armageddon was predicted under the guise of "the end of 6,000 years of human existence" printed, published, distributed and proclaimed with absolute confidence!
I was one of the little mice who was chewing this disgusting "cheese from the dead rat's mouth" in 1968 sitting in Federal Prison. I couldn't wait to get my parole for my so-called "christian neutrality" during the Viet Nam war so that I could Pioneer Full time and spread this stupid LIE to friend's and family and strangers!
Just think about this, if you will!
There was no Internet at that time. We could not simply click a few keys and pull up the EVIDENCE the other dead rat's left behind! We only heard the COVER UP STORY!
We were told the same lie that had been told before MINUS THE EVIDENCE OF FAILURE!!
Just as I ate this disgusting "food at the proper time" passed from dead rat to dead rat to dead rat......the same crumbs are being published in the WATCHTOWER today and from door to door!
At the top of this page I wrote:
No sane person walks into a trap with their eyes wide open!
No rational thinker sets foot beyond safety where a big BOLD sign is posted with a WARNING!!
I should have added: NO WELL INFORMED PERSON WITH CLEAR EVIDENCE...... Because, it is too late for most of us here when we wised up! But--it is NOT TOO LATE if you and I and the rest of the ex-JW's point out where the evidence is FOR OTHERS...... BEFORE the OTHERS feed on the cheese stolen from a dead rat's mouth....our responsibility and conscience should drive us to point our finger at those dead rat's rotting in the sun for all to see! GET BUSY!!
WHY?
Look at this and look at the date it was published in the Watchtower and ask yourself: Why Didn't Any Point out the dead rat corpses from 1914 and 1925 to all the people who BELIEVED THIS?
"The point is that Christians have implicit trust in their heavenly Father; they do not question what he tells them through his written Word and organization." Watchtower 1974 July 15 p.441,
Only 1 year remained before the whole world would clearly behold the absolute NOTHING which "happened" in 1975: a total refutation of of the above "implicit trust"!!
