Jws were still into pyramid crap till 1928. I heard the first breaks with Rutherford was also about 1918 one reason was the book the Finish Mystery. Later people left and more breaks because of his failed 1920s Beth sirim predictions . He then reinvented the whole religion and changed the name after so many left.

Russell's followers in British Columbia?
by dubstepped inso i was interviewing a guy for a podcast episode today and he went and saw his grandmother over christmas to gather some history.
he wasn't raised a jw but it turns out his family was actually opposed to the jws because they went all the way back to russell.
according to him (from her stories), they refused to follow rutherford and that's where the split took place.

Well the writers in the New Testament wanted a new god in Jesus so they equated him with Yahweh or his son. They even equated him with Amun in the book of Revelations. There’s like 5 or 6 synagogues found in Israel showing Yahweh as Helios, so syncretizing gods was common.

California is a huge state with some awesome weather and cool places to visit. Maybe the best place in the world would be somewhere in Italy.

One make sure he stays in public school. Teach him all about science and nature. Show him example of humanity older then 6000 years. Show him trees older then the flood. Show him places like in Egypt older then the flood still there today. Show him examples of the crazy in the Bible and it will all come tumbling down.

local, strange jw thinking
by lancelink ini was reading today that the last star wars movie will be playing next week.
doing a little searching, i found that there have been 12 movies in the saga total, ( box office, total (12 films): $9.323 billion.)..
it got me thinking about when the empire strikes back came out, it was the second movie ( 1980).

by BluesBrother inthis article has all the trappings of wts apocalyptic theology, doom and destruction for "the world" salvation into paradise for the faithful .a schedule of future events is described thus :.
1) a worldwide proclamation of peace and security.
2) the destruction of "babylon the great"......it confidently names the characters from this visionary biblical reference, without any supporting reasons.. 3)the nations will then , as gog of magog , attack the wts and the members .

I remember that hailstone message was suppose to start way back in the 80’s yet for some reason it didn’t . Maybe because there will never be a hailstone message from the jws it s just a ploy to keep the jws on edge.

A JWS retirement home gets abandoned in a irresponsible way.
by Finkelstein inhere is video of one jw retirement care home that was abandoned leaving a whole lot of unused junk that should been properly removed .. what happened is a big question, it appears it was in radcliffe manchester uk.. another jah jireh home posted a cost of $3020.00 per month, so not for the poor jws out there.
does anyone out there know about this abandoned place ?.

Probably realized very quickly that there weren’t enough rich jws to pay for such a place. I’m buying property and putting old 400 square foot cabin like sheds on the place. With a communal shower and toilet area. There’s already a waiting list of poor jw widows and widowers waiting for the place to by finished. The price will be reasonable and those that can’t afford the price will be allowed to live in their cars on the side of the property and still use the bathroom shower area. The car spaces are also filling up fast because that’s all most jws will be able to afford is one or the other at this place.
The name of the places is Broken Promises Acres. . I’m thinking of expanding to all areas of the country. J/K
