A little ditty from the past, on the cusp of the 1925 debacle:
The Lord indicates that at some time a conspiracy will be formed by the combined agencies of Satan against his anointed. The conspirators constitute the devil's organization, and include doubtless the Judas class; that is to say, those who have claimed to be the Lord's but who have become offended and have imbibed the spirit of the enemy. If it be true that we are approaching the last days of the church in the flesh, then it is reasonable to conclude that a time of crisis is at hand; and that a climax in the Church's experience is near. WT January 1, 1925 p.8
A slight change in the phraseology, and this would fit just right in tomorrow's WT.
conspiracy!!!!!rebellion!!!!!crisis!!!!!climax!!!!!
The adrenaline rush can only last so long. Recent developments in the org suggest that they're on the verge of another deflation.
Does the term "burn-out" come to mind?
