i found this while perusing through old golden ages at the new york public library.
it is so patently ridiculous and offensive, i thought i'd just post the thing without comment.
*** g27 11/30 pp.
Apart from the shocking attitudes the writer of the article displays, he shows the usual WT lack of bible knowledge, saying the book of "Revelation" was the last to be written.
He also says the Time of the End began in 1799, so they were still teaching that date in the thirties ?
They did write the most utter crap at the time, and a lot of it, as we can see from the article, would be unacceptable to anyone today.

santa came and gave out pressies, and i wore my fsm t. shirt and some gig had massive puddings.

"pastor russell's miracle wheat" is known, but has anyone ever heard of miracle oil?
i found this ad in january 15, 1922 golden age:.
i found a notice in june 24, 1922 new york times that "upper lubrication" of manhattan renamed itself to "upper lubrication co.", but that's all..
Sort of early MLM ? The Bible Students were in to that quick as a flash no doubt, like modern day Dubs.
I'm not surprised Rutherford ran the ad, he liked to be well oiled !
my personal perception of my own would be that religion is an organized agreement.
to a set of lies, cultivated upon human ignorance, fear and superstitions, structured.
on a framework of power and control.
It is, as Rutherford said, " a snare and a racket", the only thing he got right, mind you he was an authority, he had just started one.
His comment is a bit like Bernie Madoff saying "Beware of Ponzi schemes".

fact check websites for religion, email scams and hoaxes:snopes.com.

its run by by barbara and david p. mikkelson, who established this website in 1995.. since that time they have constantly updated the database with new facts about, why something that is considered scary or sinister is actually just a legend created by the common folk.
Terry only did the top ten Oz, No.11 is " The Organization now known as Jehovah's Witnesses was chosen by Jesus in 1919"
i am curious as to whether the final gut deciding factor to leave was inappropriate doctrine or the overly intrusive control of the wt.
reading the bible normally opened my eyes.
i was born-in and never suspected that they were skewing the bible in such a ridiculous manner or misquoting secular sources.
The thing that made me stop preaching was realising that the 1914 doctrine was total bullscrap.
The thing that made me leave was the Governing Bodies demands for "loyalty" etc which amount to worship of them.
After I left and deconstucted it all I became much more aware of the mind control techniques they use.
hi to all here i post some photos of the russell era: http://bibliotecajw.blogspot.com/2011/11/fotos-de-la-era-russell.html.

Thanks for posting, it underlines how far back in history those events were,look at the clothes , so 19th Century, mind you the JW's are still stuck in the 19th century, and a good number of them still dress like it.
My favorite photo of a later era,Rutherford's time,is of the Bethel Christmas Party, can someone post that again ? so funny when you think how apeshit they go about celebrating it today.
