  GB Doesn’t Believe in 1914 Anymore – My reasoning

  by thedepressedsoul in

  i have heard a lot of talk over the last year or so if the gb will eventually ditch 1914 and some have even made the claim that most, if not all of the gb do not believe in 1914. ive given this some thought and in the past i wasnt sure.

  this annual meeting puts 100%, without a doubt in my mind that the gb do not believe in 1914. id even go as far to say that they talked about that date and have a game plan in mind.. here is why i feel this way:.

  there were a lot of changes with the parables at this annual meeting.

  I can see them moving to 1934. Here are some facts they would use to make their case, most dubs would swallow this hook line and sinker.

  • 1934 was the year that Hitler became “Furher” of Germany.

  • In December of 1934 Joseph Stalin started the purges which ultimately cost the lives of up to 20 million of his own countrymen. (including millions of Jews)

  • Hitler vowed to exterminate Jehovah’s people. In October of 1934 he screamed to his Reich Minister of the interior about the Bible Students: “This brood will be exterminated in Germany!”

  • In 1934 the prominent Nazi propagandist Ernst Bergmann published his work Die 25 Thesen der Deutschreligion (Twenty-five Points of the German Religion) It publicly claimed that Adolph Hitler is the new messiah sent to earth to save the world from the Jews . It also taught that Christ was not a Jew but a Nordic warrior put to death by Jews, and whose death spared the world from Jewish domination.

  • September 1934 Hitler declared that the Nazi’s will reign for 1000 years. He bragged that the 3rd Reich would be a 1000 year Reich or new Holy Roman Empire.

  • October of 1934 Hitler secretly expanded the Army and Navy and established the German Air Force. This act broke the Treaty of Versailles virtually guaranteeing WW2.

  • 1934 Inspectorate of Concentration Camps is established , headed by Theodore Eicke, laying the groundwork for the persecution of Jehovah’s Witnesses as well as the extermination of six million Jews.
  • Most interesting is the fact that it was in October of 1934 that Hitler vowed to exterminate Jehovah’s Witnesses, putting into place the machinery that would lead to the concentration camps.

  • Italy Invaded Ethiopia in a precursor to WW2

  • On October 7th of 1934 Witnesses worldwide sent 20,000 letters and telegrams of protest to Hitler.

  I went to a therapist with this problem. His first question was "have you tried music therapy"? I thought he would reccomend some new age music or Yani or something like that. Instead he said to listen to whatever I like. He said it is nessesary to listen with ear buds, and with the music loud enough that it over rides your thoughts.

  I tried that for a while and it does work. However I found something that works better for me. I listen to audio books (not too exciting ones) my favorite book is the old classic Walden. It was written in the 1800's long before all the problems of todays world, it has nothing to do with religion, and he give a detailed description of living in the woods in a simple cabin on a lake.

  I listen on my iPod. I listened to that book for several years, to the point I can almost recite it word for word. I can tell you this as far as helping shut down the "snowball of thoughts" it does work for sure.

  Now I have moved on to other books but still listen every night. I now use Audible.com and get a new book every month. I set the timer on the audible app to run for 15-30 min. every night. I usually fall asleep before the timer goes off.

  Anyway, I hope that helps. It works on the principle of over riding your thoughts and refocusing your mind into the story of the book. For good peaceful books that will put you to sleep I reccomend:

  Walden by Henry David Thoreau as well as Cape Cod by Henry David Thoreau. Both of those books transport me to a different time and can be like a switch to put me to sleep.

  Hope that helps.
