What is the ONE consistent fact we can state about Jehovah's Witness teaching and Doctrine?

by Terry in

until the scientific method came along, your guess was as good as mine.. science differed from opinion by qualifying hypothesis with testing and something called falsifiability.. what was it?.

you have to find a way to state a scientific theory by making it disprovable!.

if you have the theory "all swans are white" it is testable and disprovable how?.

A quick peek at the most embarrassing facts gleaned from PYRAMIDOLOGY and " Jehovah's Witness"

by Terry in

measuring the great pyramid of egypt reveals exact prophetic dates.. _______________.

that was the crackpot theory of so-called pyramidologists.. among the men who promoted this silly idea was the founder of the watchtower publishing corporation, pastor c.t.russell.. he did not originate pyramidology, but he copied the work of the astronomer royal of scotland, professor charles piazzi smyth.

as well as another fellow named john taylor (the great pyramid (1859) and built a grand bit of humbug theology.

Even after the death of Charles Taze Russell and the denunciation of the Great Pyramid by J. F. Rutherford, the belief in PYRAMIDOLOGY did not go away. John and Edgar Morton raised up the standard and continued to espouse the crazy and crackpot ideas of PYRAMIDOLOGY.

This story needs to be told and retold many times over. Marvin Olson was my roommate for a time at Watchtower Farms. This is not some made up and contrived story. The Olson brothers came from a 'very theocratic family'. In fact, their grandfather had been a Circuit Overseer. The mother struck me as a real cold BITCH and the father was sort of a 'milquetoast'. Poor Jimmy never had a chance being born into such a family. Many 'theocratic' families sacrifice their children on the 'altar' of full time service for the prestige, prominence and accolades to be gained in the eyes of other witnesses. We should never let the memory of such 'sacrificed' ones go unhonored. Thanks Bangalore for 'bumping' this thread. I have been looking for it for a long time!

(As a side note: I think that I remember joelbear at Watchtower Farms. If he is who I think he is, he had guts. He was being chewed out by that complete a-hole Alan Flowers once and when 'Brother' Flowers was finished joelbear said to him: Thanks Mister Flowers and walked away!)
