does anybody remember some of the sensational demon stories jw's would tell back in the day?

i was a kid in the early 80's and i remember a few times hearing of people having real life encounters with demons.

for example, one sister claimed that before she became a jdub she would regularly talk to demons and they would even fix stuff like her washing machine!

Greetings, greetings, fellow campers! Let's gather 'round the campfire while Uncle Natas digs into his Watchtower crypts for some REAL SCARY STORIES! As my cousin Count Floyd used to say, "Ooooh kids! That's SCARY!"

If you like these, I'll DIG UP more of 'em!

I get the impression "Father Divine" was a NYC-based attention-seeker. I'm finding more about him...

The Golden Age -- "Making Unleavened Bread for the Memorial"

by Nathan Natas in

i know that in the past some have asked about this.

i would add that before you dry the matzoh, run a docker over the cracker or prick it all over with a fork.

this is supposed to prevent large "blisters" from forming, and the dough enjoys it.. .

Millie210 asked, "... has a vaguely kosher sound to it doesn't it?"

It does, doesn't it? Back then I suppose the assumption was that spring water was "good" water... and I think it took about 100 years for the WTB&TS to accept the "germ theory of disease.

The Watchtower "companion magazines" back then tried to be the hard-copy iPad of its day. It did poorly in any role it played.

"The Paradise Earth" debunked, an email to my JW parents.

by FatherFirst in

hey guys, just your son.

i don't mean to bother you, however i came across something really interesting pertaining to the last time me and dad had a "bible discussion" i thought you should see, and since it's straight from the horses mouth so to speak, i assumed you'd be willing to.. just in case you forgot, at the time, i was making the argument that:.

) the new world translation when compared to other well known and accepted translations replace several words which seem to change the meaning.

Your folks have access to an electron microscope, I gather.

The 1914 doctrine: How long it will last?

by opusdei1972 in

one hundred years have passed and the society still supports this lie, which of course, is the basis of their other lies, like that of the unfaithful and not discreet slave appointed in 1919. however, i wonder, what will happen after 50 years, when the overlapped generation will pass?.

and if you want, what will happen with this religion in 2100?, could it survive with the same lie??

?.

what was significant about 1914?

Seriously?

It was the date when war broke out in heaven and Satan and his angels were hurled into the vicinity of the earth, Jesus was crowned King and began ruling over a New Heavens and a New Earth. Have you no eyes, man?

O wait, I'm sorry. All that was invisible.

As for how long the WTB&TS can continue to use 1914 as a "Bible-based" anchor date, I think the answer is either "until time indefinite" or "as long as suckers are being born."

The date 1914 is essential to setting the date 2034. You haven't heard about 2034?

That's because the foundation-work for the date hasn't set yet; but 2034 is what you get when you add 1914 and 120, and 120 is the number of years that Noah spent as a special pioneer, selling his two prophetic clay tablet magazines, "Watch The Sky" and "Hepzibah." "Hepzibah" changed it's name twice, first to "Dehydration" and then to "Hey Now!"

It is rumored that in the creaky old Watchtower warehouse that still stands on Staten Island at the site of the old Bethel Farm and WBBR studios, the WTB&TS has a few of those old cuneiform tablets, but it has been forgotten if these are originals or reprints. From time-to-time one might show up on eBay at grossly inflated prices, often as ashtrays.

And although it sounds far-fetched, the magical date 2034 itself will spawn a host of dates by arithmetically mating with the "Bible-based" sacred integers 40 and 50 and their related factors.

...and THAT, dear friends, is THE REST of the story!
