ELECTRIC WAR STRATEGY

  The last time there was a "war" online, The Watchtower tried to close down the Watchtower Observer, and they threatened me by suing me, the lot. Gary Busselman wrote this little story, and I guess a refreshment of what he said could be interesting:

  IMHO, Kent's no dummy. I gotta think what the Watchtower Corp. would have to bring to a USA court to prove financial damage. . . . their books. Financial records, membership records, gosh knows what else. The "Pay Attention" book would have to be entered in court as evidence, thus making it a part of the court records. Kent could enter the book as his evidence. That would make it possible to simply copy the court record which just happens to contain the "Pay Attention" book. By going to court the Watchtower would be in effect giving away their own book. Once they make claims they must prove the charges with facts and figures or be suffering more exposure themselves. All the information the Watchtower would use for proof, i.e. The "Pay Attention" book, their own financial and other records, must be made available to the party they sue so a defense can be made.

  Just think for a minute . . . the Watchtower has to turn over all their financial records to Kent Steinhaug. Why don't I think they will want to do that? All the while the press gets unlimited interviews and "leaks". After the trial the court records will be made (in USA) public information, at least to any other attorney, for a price. Which one of us wouldn't like to get Milton G. Henschel or one of his "officials' representing the FDS under oath and in front of you on a witness stand?

  If the Watchtower goes to court with any of us they are more complete fools that I give them credit for. The moves they make are not stupid. Right now they are using strategy that here we call "saber rattling". I have done this as a scare tactic more than once to intimidate wimps. Most people, when they get a letter from an attorney go all wet and warm and turn into agreeable sorts quickly.
  If this was a legal chess game the Watchtower made a well thought out and very smart move. They threatened the provider for the provider for the target (Kent). The provider who got the letter is well removed from Kent. If Kent gets a letter himself, which just may happen, that will change things somewhat. I can't think that the Watchtower would be that stupid. The dumbest thing for them to do relevant to this issue would for them to take their own book, "Pay Attention", and their own financial records to court. They can't take anything of Kent's to court. The only thing they have to take to court is themselves. They are not stupid. They know this.

  The interesting thing for me is the players. The Watchtower, who claims to be the only direct representative, and prophet, of God's on all the planet earth, and Kent who does not. For the Watchtower NOT to violate one of it's own printed principles in this event looks like it will be very hard. For Kent to violate one of his printed principles looks to me to be just about impossible. The Watchtower has much credibility to loose. Kent on the other hand has much credibility to gain. The Watchtower is making Kent Steinhaug a true prophet.

  Compared to the giant multi billion dollar Watchtower Corporation empire, Kent probably couldn't afford to buy all the guys breakfast at Bethel on a slow morning. Yet he has their attention, big time, and they have confirmed their vulnerabilities to the world. They are saying that they want the whole world to read half of their books and they are saying now that they do not want the whole world to read the other half of their books. Why?

  Hey Kent,
  I remember being warned about your site two or three years ago. Now here I am in Kansas and the whole society is worried about a hand full of people. I thought that was strange at the time. Why would an orginization with God's backing worry about a few men? The answer is they do not have God's backing at all. So when I got a computer, I looked at your site, Randy Watters' site, and a couple of others. In about a week, I was convinced I had the real truth. Personally I hope they try again to take you to court, because it would show just what fools they really are. Just remember to counter sue. Keep up the good work!

  Yup, Kents site was a primary source for my leaving the JW's when I was 18, along with free minds and another one called watchtower unplugged, what happened to that one?

  Anyway, I dont know how I can be a solider or spy since I am a DA JW, although never baptized, but lemme know. I live real close to DC and can go to the library of congress or other kule places, even the suprem court :) My girlfriend here is a native norweigan speaker if that helps, and im young ang hip with a smooth attitude hehe.

  So yeah Kent, sign me up for the corpes! hehe. Im also just 4 hours from brooklyn hellhole, i mean bethel.

  Ok, so lemme know. I dont know anyone who speaks german but there are good online translators like babel fish at yahoo.com that will translate stuff literally, but you will get e very good idea of that is being said.

  Gary Busselman is a gem of a thinker. His site is at:
  http://www.freeminds.org/buss/buss.htm

  One of his gems:

  The Truth (as I seen it)
  According to Jehovah's Witnesses
  by Gary Busselman
  GOD is the creator, but since he only created Michael,
  and Michael created everything else, ("all other things")
  that would seem to make Michael the real creator,
  but only in a sense, since Michael is Jesus and Michael said to Satan,
  "the Lord rebuke you" makes the Lord powerful over Satan,
  however when Michael had to throw Satan out of heaven in 1914
  he had to do battle with his own creations, Satan and His Angels,
  and in 1918 when he selected Joe Rutherford to be his earthly channel
  and had to put the truth in the mind of Joe
  so Joe could write the truth in the Watch Tower
  and build Beth Sarim.

  All this would be hard to understand if it were not for the "salvation" doctrine,
  which is easy to understand since the living evildoers
  will all be made dead at Armageddon
  and the dead evildoers will be made alive at Armageddon,
  thus the living sinners will die and the dead sinners will live,
  except the dead who are made alive will not really be made alive again
  but when they die God kinda makes a sort of computer chip, in a sense,
  of all the information in their brains,
  like their memories, thoughts, and personality
  and keeps this stored in heaven
  and the Angels that don't join up with Satan help
  and then after Armageddon, God makes a perfect replica body,
  and somehow inserts this memory chip in the perfect replica body
  and then he will judge that new creation of the old person
  who was dead but is now alive, sort of,
  by how he treats the anointed who are mostly dead
  but are represented by the Governing Body, who are not inspired
  but only receive Divine direction,
  and by how well he follows the directions of the Organization
  and if he sins he dies.

  To survive Armageddon, the only way is to be serving God
  in the only Organization that has the truth, Jehovah's Witnesses.
  The truth is defined as the current teachings of the Governing Body
  which largely consist of denying their own past teachings
  and condemning views that are held by other groups
  that the Governing Body will someday adopt as their "new light"
  and "the truth". Serving God is defined as attending the five weekly meetings
  of Jehovah's Witnesses, reading all of the weeks lessons before the meetings,
  including underlining the answer to the questions at the bottom of the pages
  in the paragraphs with a red marker, (yellow highlighter is optional
  as long as it is used in moderation) answering any questions you may come up
  with by yourself, while you keep those questions secret and to yourself,
  by looking up the proper subject headings in the Index published by the Society
  and referencing to the proper Watchtower article
  while attending meetings for field service
  and going out in cars to try to recruit new members into the group
  and to solicit contributions to be turned into the group leaders
  in exchange for Watchtower publications that members paid for
  at the Kingdom Hall using the voluntary donation arrangement
  that was adopted after the Society failed in their attempt to defend Jimmy Swaggert
  in the Supreme Court of California
  after the Superior Authorities fell out of love with him
  and charged him with avoiding sales tax on literature sales
  and all Witnesses must do this or they die.

  Loyalty to "Jehovah's Organization" is important
  since surviving Armageddon is contingent on how well
  we vindicate Jehovah's name which is really YHWH
  and pronounced Yahweh by most Biblical scholars
  only since that was changed to sanctify
  and it now is to exalt Jehovah's Name, not to vindicate anymore,
  and to announce the kingdom that was set up in heaven in 1914 after Jesus
  returned invisibly in 1874
  and again in 1914 for the separating of the sheep and the goats
  by selling Watchtower publications door to door
  and then in 1995 this was changed to
  not separating the sheep from the goats
  but to require all Jehovah's Witnesses to believe
  that the separating of the sheep and the goats will be a future event
  to begin after the start of the Great Tribulation
  except that Jesus had to actually start his judging of the sheep and the goats in 33 AD
  and that he only picked 144,000 Jehovah's Witnesses
  and the number was filled in 1935
  and then the earth was going to be used for the testing ground
  for all the re-created dead sinners and Jehovah's Witnesses for 1000 years
  because this all ties into the date of 1914
  which was arrived at by Nelson Barbour by adding 30 years to William Miller's
  failed Apocalypse expectation date of 1844 which was arrived at by adding a
  year to the previously failed date of 1843, to arrive at 1874, which when
  the end didn't come, he added 40 more years to come up with 1914 which
  Charles Taze Russell adopted and changed to 1915 when the Apocalypse didn't
  come in 1914 then to 1918 when it didn't come in 1915, then he died.

  This is all so simple that a child could understand
  especially in view of the fact that the seven trumpets of Revelation
  were the seven Jehovah's Witness District assemblies from 1922 to 1928,
  starting with Cedar Point, Ohio and ending with Detroit, Michigan,
  only they weren't called Jehovah's Witnesses then
  but since Jehovah picked them in 1918 he waited until 1931
  to give them his name while the generation living in 1914
  and of the age of understanding, about 12 or 15, when World War One broke out,
  except it had been breaking out for a number of years before 1914,
  meaning that the generation that saw 1914 would by no means pass away
  before Armageddon started and "by no means"
  indicates that the majority would be living and never die
  since Jesus told Joe Rutherford that "Millions Now Living Will Never Die"
  by an angel and Joe wrote a book about the dead Princes,
  Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and others would be resurrected to the earth in 1925
  and live in a house he built for them in 1929 in San Diego, California
  except he lived in it himself
  because he thought the start of World War Two would be the beginning of Armageddon
  and then he died.

  Usually this is best understood by believing the truth as Nathan Knorr and Fred Franz
  wrote about it in the Watchtower since they knew that service was the answer
  and that six thousand years since Adam and Eve ended in 1975
  and that maybe, might, could, should be the start of Armageddon
  but they don't remember writing anything about 1975
  and they couldn't say for sure when Eve was created
  and besides so many were going to prison because they were loyal to God
  by refusing alternative service to active military duty
  and no one was taking organ transplants or buying Girl Scout Cookies
  and then they died.

  Sometimes the truth comes as flashes of light and the vaccinations,
  and organ transplants are now all okay and the drafted boys don't go to prison
  but stay at home to be elders and pioneers instead of going to jail
  and the sheep are waiting and the goats are waiting too
  and the generation of 1914 waited too,
  then they died.
