  Revelation, its Grand Climax.... remember when?

  by wallsofjericho in

  i remember being at the assembly in 1988?

  when this was released.

  everyone was so excited that we finally had a simple explanation of revelation with pictures.

  What I always thought was ludicrious, was the trumphet blasts equalling some obscure conventions at a theme park location in Cedar Point, Ohio. The audacity to proclaim that the nonsense proclomations that J.F. Rutherford was spewing at that time was the equivalent to the trumphet blasts mentioned in the Bible was ludicrious in the extreme. The middle of Ohio, in the mid-1930's you say?

  I might have this wrong, but...didn't the Cedar Point convention that was supposed to be where the trumpet blast occured the one held in 1919?

  The convention where The Golden Age magazine was announced? The magazine that would never have been produced if Russell's will had been followed? The magazine that was supposed to herald in the 'golden age' of scientific innovations that would ensure everlasting life in the future?

  Really, they have files on murder?

  I would imagine they do. The WTS encourages its members to troll prisons for converts.

  Don't forget about Rose West, the serial killer from the UK. She now claims to have JW status.

  And the Yorkshire Ripper, Peter Sutcliffe.

  i've been a lurker for quite some time and enjoy the forum.

  i've reached a point in life where i don't argue ideologies anymore so i don't have much to say.

  i've been out for decades and believe i've been mostly de-cultabilized (if that's even a word).. my family is still in and i haven't had contact with them in years.

  de-cultabilized (if that's even a word)

  Well, I guess you just made it a word! Lol!

  But that's okay...you are now in 'cult-land' and made up words are acceptable in this world.

  I have been out for decades as well and yes, the JW religion has certainly changed - however, the bottom line is the same - hook 'em in and take da money. But it still will sometimes amaze me that with all the information out there, some people will choose such a bad source for their information.

  Ah, well, there will always be those who just can't help it. It is the same dynamics at play as happens in abusive domestic situations - too much invested to let go compounded by the psychopathic nature of the organization itself. Classic Stockholm Syndrome. It really isn't the victim's fault - it happens in the 'outside' world as well with many different types of relationships.

  Welcome.

  Obscene TOMO turd quote from talk.

  on the thread about growth up but babble studies down thread, an audio of tomo turd has been posted.

  can somebody put it in this separate thread - it's important.. he says how billions of innocent children and other inoffensive people will not get to enjoy their ice cream, as they are about to be annihilated.

  they count less than mere "amuse - bouches".. what reward will all those get who peel off their tight pants and spanx before it is too late?.

  No it's the guy before Tony - a guy called Brother Cask(?).

  Oh.

  I am dreadfully sorry - I just assumed that the face on the video belonged to the speaker I heard.

  I didn't have a program available to consult. I haven't attended for over 40 years so I am not up on who says who - I just went by the image presented with the voice.

  it's her move now.

  Really, he's getting me excommunicated so I have no reason to stay here anymore

  Sorry if I sound rude, but......are you Catholic? I have never heard a JW use the word 'excommunication'.

  I am confused. I thought that term was a Catholic term. JWs use the made-up word 'disfellowshipping' instead of 'excommunicating'.

  A. You can try to do a search for "do not destroy" but you'll come up with child abuse, you'll come up with adultery, you'll come up with bigamist marriage, you'll come up with slander, fraud, murder any abhorrent sin.

  O. It's that much sin going on in the Jehovah Witness?

  That bit really made me laugh.

  Me too.

  And the 'body builder' manual. Poor Ashe couldn't even use good enunciation when he was speaking - maybe someone should mark him down for that.

  Body of elders = Body Builders

  I can't wait for that manual to be released.

  Gerrit Losch's "I DO NOT ANSWER TO WATCHTOWER"

  Is this not a fine line that the GB is walking?

  Correct me if I am wrong, but it appears like Losch is trying to distance the Jehovah's Witness 'religion' from the Watchtower Society in order to protect the WTS assets.

  But - doesn't this run the WTS into tax problems? If the WTS is 'at arm's length'...how long does that arm have to be before those other 'legal entities' owned by the WTS no longer are protected by religious exemption?

  Yes, it is in Tony's talk. He first mentions ice cream at 00:37.

  He is speaking of all those people who aren't JWs:

  ...all they have is a little bit of joy; all they have is a little bit of ice cream...

  And then he goes on to tell everybody how Jehovah is better than ice cream.

  I scream

  you scream

  we all scream

  for ice cream

  Maybe Tony should start singing the ice cream song.
