im not trying to sound haughty or god-hating, i dont even know if i believe what i wrote but tell me what you guys think about this: how are we, as individuals and a species, to grow into what we want to become unless we are first burned by the fires of lesson?

how can we see our faults unless first we experience them, then, by contrast no longer live by them?

the harsh reality is that in order to overcome ignorance we must be first fooled by it so that we may be intimate with it.

i love watching shows on the history channel, discovery channel and so on.

they had this program on the other day, on the ten biggest threats to mankind and the planet earth.

surprisingly, none of the items on the list were god destroying mankind or the earth, so that must be further evidence that the witnesses were wrong, go to college now and retire.

what a wacko belief the wittnesses had at one time!

i never knew until now.

while the heaven's gate suicides expected to be transported at death to a location in outer space associated with the hale-bopp comet, for many decades watchtower believers hoped to go for their heavenly reward to the star alcyone, the brightest star in the pleiades cluster in the constellation taurus ("the bull").

What a wacko belief the wittnesses had at one time! I never knew until now.

While the Heaven's Gate suicides expected to be transported at death to a location in outer space associated with the Hale-Bopp comet, for many decades Watchtower believers hoped to go for their heavenly reward to the star Alcyone, the brightest star in the Pleiades cluster in the constellation Taurus ("the Bull"). Jehovah's Witnesses believed Christ traveled there after his resurrection, and they identified Alcyone as the residence of Almighty God Jehovah himself. (See their WATCHTOWER magazine, May 15, 1895, p. 1814.)

Joseph F. ("Judge") Rutherford (Watchtower President 1916-1942) continued the pattern established by founder Charles Taze Russell. In Rutherford's 1928 book RECONCILIATION he proclaimed, "the Pleiades is the place of the eternal throne of God." (page 14) Jehovah's Witness leaders did not repudiate this teaching until 1953 when THE WATCHTOWER stated, "it would be unwise for us to try to fix God's throne as being at a particular spot in the universe." (November 15, page 703)

While Heaven's Gate believers donned purple togas during their final moments, Watchtower founder Russell had his traveling companion fashion a white Roman toga from railroad sleeping-car bedsheets as he approached death on Halloween, October 31, 1916. A massive stone pyramid measuring nine feet across its base with the name WATCH TOWER BIBLE AND TRACT SOCIETY engraved in large letters on its side stands next to Russell's grave, marking the sect's burial plots in United Cemetery north of Pittsburgh.

Until 1928 the sect taught that the Great Pyramid of Egypt was lined up with the Pleiades star cluster and contained in its measurements prophecies of the life of Christ and the end of the world.

So that is what Jesus found in 1914 called the TRUE religion??

YOU "THINK" YOU KNOW.....BUT...YOU DON'T KNOW!!

by Terry in

the door to door work is a sham.. the central activity of the watchtower bible and tract society is not spreading their so-called "messege" about the kingdom of jehovah established in the heavens in 1914. that's a load of propaganda.. the door to door activity is feckless in producing converts.

in fact, it is an immense failure of mammoth proportions!.

but, it is a diversion.

i had an assignment to write a bunch of holiday articles that would be shared by all the various papers owned by the guy who owns the paper i'm the editor of.

after i'd had enough with the usual holiday stuff, i decided to get a little adventerous and expanded one in the series to include, not just the origins of christmas foods, but also some ideas i've been reading and watching about the origins of the chrisitain religion itself.. this is a link to the article, which ran a few weeks ago: .
