  "50 Years a Watchtower Slave" Chapter 5 Part B

  by new boy in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  one thing they never talked about at the assemblies was how many predictions they made in the pass about the so called end of the world.

  predictions that never came to be.

  i didn’t know it at the time and most jehovah’s witnesses didn’t know that charles russell (1852-1916), the founder, believed that christ had secretly arrived in the year 1874 and that he would establish the kingdom of god on earth in october 1914 russell based this prophecy on his studies of the bible and the great pyramid.

  The Prophesy of 1925 that New Boy talks about fails,

  MOST WITNESSES LEAVE!!

  These ones are now written off as "Evil Slave"

  Meanwhile the Good Guy Rutherford celebrates the fact that he is an "ass"

  (his words) by building a mansion (Beth Sarim) for the resurrected princes,

  Labour for construction/maintenance all by volunteer/slave labour,

  Money for this as well as two luxury cars provided by private Witness donors, (I'm thinking they liked old Uncle Joe)

  Watch Tower has been successful in almost completely suppressing this information ( I am aware of only 2 paragraphs in the Proclaimers Book)

  Ask anyone today about this and see what happens,

  This is a cult

  That One Defining Moment That Changed Your Life.

  by new boy in

  2. experiences

  it seems that many times in life there is a moment or an action that changes your whole world.

  it could be just a look that someone gives you.. many times it can be something rather small.

  something hardly noticeable by anyone but you.

  No,

  It doesn't specifically state "2034", nowhere in print that "Armageddon will be in 1975" either,

  But the article, as planned, (as 1975) gets the grass roots brothers excited and talking,

  Then when things don't turn out they blame the brothers for talking out of turn, being presumptuous, and if they leave "not waiting on Jehovah"

  These guys are diabolical,

  The latest talk/buzz primed by Warchtower has to due with 1914 plus 120 years =2034 ratonale is Noah's wait,

  It was noted by Penton that they can't stop speculating/predicting or they will lose their fan base,

  These guys are very calculating (excuse the pun)

  Sanctimonious, "WE'RE Thankful EVERY day."

  thanksgiving is really just a nice, traditional, family-oriented day set aside on a national level.

  no babylon the great.

  give me a break with the holier than thou, "we don't celebrate thanksgiving.

  Haven't heard it rearly don't want to, a few years back, in the back of my son's car, he puts on the most God awful music and what made it particularly terrible, digital/synthetic children's choir (these guys wouldn'the know what to do with actual children) Aaaaagh!! I really don't think anyone notices because nobody has ever heard a normal "Satan's Christendom's" choir, Unbelievable!!!

  I agree it's the craziest thing,

  "BUT BUT BUT we're neutral and its a national holiday"

  So then what's Labour Day?

  More like it's the product of a miserable alcoholic who also banned all music at the KHs

  I'm going to die angry,

  I was born to JW parents in 1957 which makes me 6O years old,

  Anybody here knows how all mentally and emotionally encompassing this "thing" is so it's no surprise to anyone that my "defining moment (s)" has to do with the "thing"

  I had raised my two children "well" so that if they died in A it would not be my fault,

  Had gone through the 1995 generation shock and held out until the children left,

  It was now 2000,

  I was sitting on the floor downstairs,

  And I thought, at this point, almost on a subconscious level,

  I thought of listening to Knorr on the grass of Yankee Stadium,

  And I thought about A and the idea of Jehovah destroying 7 Billion and saving these measly few self righteous merciless people,

  And two things came to mind,

  (To the effect of) THESE PEOPLE ARE BAT CRAP CRAZY!!

  And I DO NOT WANT TO BE ONE OF JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES!!!!!!!!

  That is how I began my blessed journey out!!!
