  Weird Fred Franz pics (other presidents also)

  by Joliette in

  2. friends

  i was reading crisis of conscience and i noticed a really odd pic of fred franz on page 90 (looks like he was sitting down?

  ) in the picture, and i knew i had seen him somewhere before (watchtower) or yearbook, and i always wondered why the organization took so many pictures of the presidents back then...if they didnt want the emphasis put on men but on the organization??

  why was this?

  His typical & antitypical Watchtower studies nearly drove me mad as a young kid.................

  I thought if I do not understand this how am I going to give a witness when hauled before the authorities.....................

  I'll be persecuted & it will be my own fault because I didn't study hard enough...........

  And because I didn't study hard enough I couldn't expect Jehovah to recall to my mind the stuff the borg' were telling us that would help me endure torture.

  Bringing your kid up as a Jehovah's Witness & you to can a kid burdened with guilt & low self esteem.

  Good ole Freddie

  1975 - Lest We Forget

  i find the topic of the 1975 end of the world scenario facinating, especially since i never lived through it.

  do you old schoolers ever feel concerned that people will one day forget about what really went down?

  with whitewashed tripe like the 'proclaimers' book informing dubs that it was just the false expectations of over enthusiastic apostates, are you at all concerned that the legacy of bullshit that is 1975 will be a forgotten moment in history blamed on you instead where the blame really belongs?

  They want 1975 out of the way, the big wigs in Brooklyn know it's an albatross around their necks & the sooner it is forgotten the better as far they're concerned.

  Let me tell you this Bethel lurkers.......1975 WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.

  If the GB could have swallowed their pride, were truly humble & REALLY had apologised to the brotherhood for their 1975 disaster as soon as they knew they were wrong, instead of blaming the very ones suffering because of the failed predictions many would have, I'm sure, felt it in their hearts that they could live with the problems you'd caused them.

  But no the GB were too proud, too concerned at keeping their special position as the annointed. the little flock, the FDS, the 'mouthpiece' of Jehovah.

  Your demise is still to come.................

  It enrages me to my core that people who did not go through the 1960-1975 as a JW spout off about how it was just a small group that mislead themselves about what to expect around the year 1975 & are now trying to blame the org'.

  The leaders of the WBTS are lying to you when they try to distance themselves from the 1975 debacle.

  The leaders of the Jehovah's Witnesses did whip up expectation regarding 1975.

  The leaders of the Jehovah's Witnesses got us so excited about our imminent futures in the years leading up to 1975.

  The leaders of the Jehovah's Witnesses praised ones that sold off their homes to pioneer in the 'few remaining months' prior to 1975.

  The current leaders of Jehovah's Witnesses may not be the same ones that whipped up our hopes back in the 1975 time period but as an entity the WBTS organisation IS STILL RESPONSIBLE for one of the gravest errors!

  Hebrews 6:18: says "It is impossible for God to lie"

  Any attempt to use legal weasel words or phrases to distance themselves or apportion blame to the victims of their lies has to be noted by Jehovah who will surely deal with the deceitful Watchtower Bible & Tract Society very severely.

  An organisation that lies or uses deceit has not & will not be used by Jehovah.

  I do not want to be mean to you Watersprout, but...............

  why do you think JAHESHUA MISCHAJAH chose you?

  what was the point of telling you 'do good to others & show love & kindness'?

  how are you going to 'do good to others & show love & kindness'?

  are you going to sell all your worldly goods & donate the funds to help the sufferers in Pakistan or Niger............or anywhere else in the world?

  In the zoo eh???

  Are you sure it wasn't a parrot?

  Reminds me of this joke:

  A burglar broke into a house one night. He shined his flashlight around, looking for valuables, and when he picked up a CD player to place in his pack, a strange, disembodied voice echoed from the dark saying, "Jesus is watching you."
  
  He nearly jumped out of his skin, clicked his flashlight out, and froze. When he heard nothing more after a bit, he shook his head, promised himself a vacation after the next big score, then clicked the light on and began searching for more valuables. Just as he pulled the stereo out so he could disconnect the wires, clear as a bell he heard,
  
  "Jesus is watching you." Freaked out, he shone his light around frantically, looking for the source of the voice. Finally, in the corner of the room, his flashlight beam came to rest on a parrot. "Did you say that?", he hissed at the parrot.
  
  "Yep," the parrot confessed, then squawked, "I'm just trying to warn you."
  
  The burglar relaxed. "Warn me, huh? Who in the world are you?"
  
  "Moses," replied the bird.
  
  "Moses?" the burglar laughed. "What kind of people would name a bird Moses?"
  
  "The kind of people that would name a Rottweiller Jesus."

  I wasn't a 'boy' I was in my early 20's by the time 1975 came & had made some foolish decisions regarding education based on what 'God's channel' was telling us to expect during the 8 or so years leading up to '75.

  You were lucky to have a father that wasn't taken in by the WBTS, your life wasn't so affected maybe?

  I just cannot abide people that dis 1975'ers as being foolish or going beyond what the borg said, I thought you were one of them, please accept my apologise if you are not.

  Yes Mad Sweeney as you say:

  'Individual JDubs will not be "taken care of" by Jehovah God during the great tribulation. The Borganization will be protected and survive Armageddon but individuals are basically up for torture, death, and hope of a resurrection.'

  Whenever I saw this in the Watchtower I felt mad with rage that they put the BORG's survival above the individual Christian.

  They truly are the 'EVIL SLAVE' to promulgate this profanity!
