It is truley amazing how a bunch of Company Men can read the book of Revelation and interpet its fullfilment into a selling pitch for the Corporation's printed products: Advertise! Advertise! Advertise! The King and His Kingdom.
Corporation group think.

“RayPublisher”: “Perhaps they will make a new and improved book on Revelation again?”
If they do, it will probably be a very brief but large-print cardboard pop-version – you open it up, and the Harry-Potter-like creatures spring right up in 3D.
“FadeToBlack”: “I always thought equating the trumpet blasts to the old conventions you mentioned and the release of their resolutions was the most bizarre interpretation.”
Those purely contrived “Biblical connections” to certain men in a New York publishing corporation sure remind me of all the unbelievably contorted and fanciful “Biblical connections” which Charles Taze Russell dreamed up relating to the steps inside the Great Pyramid of Giza and his eschatological chronology. (And of course that had to be revised also.) Yes, numerology is one of the great tools for religious charlatanry. Russell sure tried to bang a square peg into a round hole. Franklin Rutherford tried to, but with a bigger hammer.

i was studying the book of revelations with a friend, it was really hard reading that bible book and trying to explain that these things written in the most famous book of all time was directly about our little religion. It just screamed total arrogance to me and i couldn't stomach it.

LOL, the whole book is crazy from cover to cover- literally! Open the book up, and those whacko pictures just scream "cult!" It would be a good book to 'study' with someone, as it includes almost every madcap belief the Witnesses have ever had- with the exception of pyramidology- maybe they ran out of room in the book for that? It's a winner!

Remember the bit where a star falls? That star represented Babylon the Great's fall which happened in 1919 or whenever, when Rutherford was chosen and other religions lost favour with Jehovah...wait, I thought he never liked false religion?
Also, wasn't there something about locusts being JWs preaching or something, or something with stingers annoying everyone meant to be JWs? Or Awakes or something? I remember I doodled in the margins through most of the book studies of this.

• The Cedar Point Ohio District Convention held in 1921 A.D. by the Bible Students is supposedly talked about in Revelation, written almost 1,900 years earlier. The book refers to this "historic" convention EIGHT times, and claims it was the trumpet blast mentioned in Rev 8:7.
While I thought this was a bit ridiculous , a big stretch of the imagination , and way out of left field , I still didnt break free till `93
It just goes to show you what 32 years of brainwashing can do to you.

Hey I love the silly threads. And what could be sillier than this book. Revelation, It's Grand Climax Pathetic Specualtion At Hand!
It's hard to pick one gem out of such a treasure trove.
Also, wasn't there something about locusts being JWs preaching or something, or something with stingers annoying everyone meant to be JWs? Or Awakes or something? I remember I doodled in the margins through most of the book studies of this.
Yes that is right, you can't make this crap up. Even the Theocrapic Misery School was part of prophetic fulfillment to aid the stinging message. It's on page 153 if you have the stomach for it.
