one of the ones i find hilarious is during the beth-sarim affair, rutherford announced that the world was laughing and mocking them because they don't believe the resurrection is going to come to pass when they said it was.

rutherford went on to say in effect "we will show them when people start coming back from the graves"... lol.

Yes, sorry - you are correct. Two other people authored The Finished Mystery.

Ray Franz covered these locomotive prophecies fairly good in his second book. Funny stuff.

friends

my father has been disfellowshipped for a few years.

12 to be exact.

the way that the brothers treated him and the lack of love that they showed made me confront them and stand up for my father.

Wow. That is unbelievable.

Every day, I hate this cult a little more.

Another would be a quote found in the book Apocalypse Delayed. The author says that Nathan Knorr kept the wrongness of homosexuality and masturbation before the Bethel family so much and so constantly, that one might wonder whether Nathan Knorr had homosexual leanings himself"

(Note: this is merely the author's quote that I am repeating. I know very little about Knorr, as that was way before my time. I simply found this observation funny.)

What are your favorite quotes that are totally absurd, ridiculous and/or hilarious?

The Witnesses are freaking out

by Sour Grapes in

i still go to a few meetings a month just to keep members of my family happy.. the witnesses seemed to be getting all worked up about how close the end.

it sorta feels like the 1975 era only 35 years later.

the brother who gave.

I bumped into an elder today, and he told me this:

"we can see the conclusion in sight. Yeah, we have been saying that forever, but finally we can literally see that things are about to end - governments are failing, religion is failing...there's no doubt it is going to end very soon.."

As my eyes were glazing over, i was thinking to myself as he was talking, "you have been in this cult over 45 years and you still think Armageddon is this year"

As Steve Hassan says, "when you are convinced that your leaders are chosen and appointed by God, you will believe anything they say - no matter what it is"..
