It has always been a publishing company that turns paper and ink into a product. The paper sales and real estate organization has a huge volunteer sales force that thinks it is a religion. "We don't do no stinking social events"

by breakfast of champions inmonths ago, i commented on another thread about a strategy i was using to introduce my wife to the way cults work--without using the word "cult" and scaring her away.
here's my first comment on that thread:.
i pulled hassan's bite model off the internet and imported it into my word processor.

I liked the little wax bottles with a few drops of colored syrup inside. You could chew the wax for a couple of minutes and then 'patooey!'

Just another religion based in human sacrifice. Mayans, Aztecs, and others sacrificed humans to placate a grumpy God. Catholics absolutely wallow in the bloody death of Christ with a gruesome crown of thorns ringing his head.
Ugh.

Rutherford's last book "Children" 1941- Advice DONT HAVE KIDS...Where it all started!
by Witness 007 inwatchtower 1941 sept. 15 p.283, 288 "in front of the convention platform the children recieving there free gift (copy) not as a play thing but as the lords instrument for the work in the remaining months before armagedon..." so what lovely message did the kids get from judge rutherford?
children 1941page 281 "no children were taken onto noah's ark...it is proper to wait until after armagedon to have children...its only afew more years till armagedon..." the book concluded.
"(john and his girlfriend talk) ...armagedon is surely near our hope is within afew years our marriage will be consumated and we will have sweet children...we will defer marriage and pioneer ...we will not see each other for a time.." thats why i dont have kids it all started with this fools book!.

Also, our two hour and fifteen min meetings started at three pm, the sleepy time of the day. No ac and a hot day was torture.
