  1925?

  by Jeff Downs in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i am looking for the july 15, 1922 watchtower article which contained this .

  "this chronology is not of man, but of god.

  being of divine origin and divinely corroborated, present-truth chronology stands in a class by itself, absolutely and unqualifiedly correct...." .

  Nazi apologists and the WTBTS crusade against the Internet.

  by Gill in

  don't laugh, now!

  i was watching 'quincy' this afternoon, and the episode was about the denial of the holocaust.

  what the person denying that the horrific holocaust actually took place was saying was that the evidence was fabricated, written evidence made up, and pictures were also concocted to appear that the atrocities had taken place.. well, it just reminded me, as many things do these days, of the wtbts stance on apostates and the internet.

  Yesterday, while searching for German inventions for an amusing post in the Hilter ain't so bad thread, I came across a neo nazi blog where the guy was in denial over the holocaust. It was staggering how much bull this guy believed and was spewing. He said that the photo evidence and documents (yes the nazis were ever so careful to document indiviual people they were killing) were a complete fabrication on the west to justify the killing of germens!

  It did remind me of WTBTS denials.

  You Know You Are a Cult if you...

  by myself in

  2. friends

  you know you are a redneck in a cult if you:

  are cut off from your family or friends because they are considered a danger to your cult-like beliefs.

  are taught everything through repetition,repetition,repetition.. are taught to fear for your life (everlasting) if you leave it.. question its teachings you are doomed.. everything outside of its organization is a tool of satan.

  I find it intersting that their second quote didn't include the beginning statement: We begin to feel frightened, and it really isn't as bad as they make it out to be

  Two quotes without attributions that I could not find on Google--can you?

  1) A newsmagazine in Western Europe noted that at times it seems as though the entire world were
  
  "about to go up in flames." No wonder that a growing number of people are
  
  distressed!

  2) One person who was quoted in a survey about television news in
  
  the United States no doubt echoed the feelings of millions when he said:
  
  `After I watch the news, I'm thoroughly depressed. It's all bad news. It's
  
  overwhelming.'

  http://observer.guardian.co.uk/waronterrorism/story/0,1373,560580,00.html

  In the Bonfire of the Vanities, Tom Wolfe's satirical novel about New York, a distinguished English poet brings an A-list dinner party to a standstill by warning the assembled guests that their world is about to go up in flames.

  Having Too Much Negative Is Frightening & Depressing to Watch — "We begin to feel frightened, and it really isn't as bad as they make it out to be...It's too much violence...It's nice to hear something good, like an achievement. Or, because they've always done these stories on the bad part of welfare, report stories on people who've pulled themselves up out of it...Most of it is accidents or homicides...Have some stuff that isn't all crime related...After you get done watching news, you're thoroughly depressed...You almost don't wanna turn the news on, because it's all negative...If all we see is negative, it's gonna start our day off wrong, and we're gonna feel bad...We all need encouragement, and it's very depressing to watch nothing but negative news...We had a shooting on this street, then they tell you about a rape, and then a woman was carjacked, and they threw her out of the car, and the baby was in the car with the kidnappers, etc. You hear all that, and say `My God, I'm afraid to go outside!'...Probably the reason I don't watch the news on a regular basis is because I know the entire half-hour or hour I'm gonna be watching is just all bad news, bad news, bad news. It's all necessary to know, but it's little overwhelming."

  1. jw

  without use of profanity, vulgarity, or sarcasm.

  tell this hypothetical person who is still a dyed in the wool witness clearly why he/she should leave.

  do it in such a way that he/she will not bolt for the door screaming "get behind me satan" - in other words, use tact to anti-witness.. jeff

  myelaine,

  I understand and agree with what your saying. I think we are talking about two seperate things though. My point is in the question posed in the topic. Truth behind the Truth. I read this question to mean. Truth behind the organization. Or what is the organization really about. I look at the people making the decisions at the top. And I see money, controll and power. Very self evident if you live here in Brooklyn Heights.

  steveyc,

  you said: I think that power is the real truth behind the truth of this organization.

  ?could you be more vague?

  michelle

  OK, I'll try and make it easy for you. I think Paster Russell was honest in his beliefs. However misguided they were. That is where the honesty of this belief system ended. Since Rutherford a billion dollar corperation has been made in the eastern states of America, fueled and funded by millions of duped people. The real controllers of this organization, not the GB but the hidden suits, know what a pile of crap they are spilling out. But they will not change it. Why does this happen. In a word, POWER. If they believed their teachings of imminent global distruction then they would not have invested the millions of dollars here in Brooklyn heights over the last 15 years. They are still investing big bucks into the area. WHY? if world is at its end. Why? MONEY!!!!!! Lot of it. Lots and lots and lots. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ weeeeee Money $$$$$$!!!!!!!! steve ps I hope that wasnt too vague for you.
