Revelation, its Grand Climax.... remember when?

by wallsofjericho in

i remember being at the assembly in 1988?

when this was released.

everyone was so excited that we finally had a simple explanation of revelation with pictures.

WingCommander

What I always thought was ludicrious, was the trumphet blasts equalling some obscure conventions at a theme park location in Cedar Point, Ohio. The audacity to proclaim that the nonsense proclomations that J.F. Rutherford was spewing at that time was the equivalent to the trumphet blasts mentioned in the Bible was ludicrious in the extreme. The middle of Ohio, in the mid-1930's you say? Not even a proclomation at a world event like the "World's Fair" or some place or event truly recognized in a large city like Paris or London or something? An obscure Ohio theme park pavilion is like one of the trumphet blasts of Revelation they say? MY A**!!!

Cedar Point wasn't/isn't even a town, it was pavilion area with a small theme park. It's a roller coasters dream spot and resort today, with no mention if the trumphet blast was even heard back in the late 1920's, mid-1930's. This incredible display of GALL was too much even for me to swallow as a teenager while going over this messed up book for the 3rd time. I couldn't swallow it. The one about the pioneers of Jehovah being the locusts plague on the earth was too much as well. Oh, and about how the imprisonment of Rutherford and his cronies was somehow forseen in the bible? Ha....ha.....HAHAHAHA! Rutherford was a drunken azz! No wonder they tossed him in the drunk tank for a long haul, Ceasar wanted him to sober up!!!

How could you sell such nonsense at the door? You couldn't, plain and simple. Any normal person visiting the KingDumb Hell and hearing such ludicrious proclamations would think they just entered a nut house. And the artwork.......right out of a Stephen King or John Carpenter nightmare! Gah! I was 3 yrs old when this book came out.....guess how many nightmares that wild harlot riding the wild beast gave me? This book combined with the "Live Forever" book is pure JW embarrassment.

The Date: July 3-6th, 1986. (a hot 4th of July weekend) This was the "Divine Peace" District Convention.

Location: The Capital Centre, Landover, Maryland. USA.

My age at the time: 6 yrs old.

The WT Representative giving the keynote address: None other than VP of WatchTower, Milton G. Henschel

What I remember about this District Convention: My poor father driving us from south-central PA in the sweltering heat on 4th of July weekend in incredible traffic down I-83, I-295 beltway instead of being able to watch fireworks. I think I had my usual lemon-lime Shasta, an apple danish, choc pudding cup, and fruit bag. I also remember being miserable and fidgety (as usual, I was considered "hyper" back then) I wish I could remember old Milton giving his keynote address that Saturday, but chances are I feel asleep just listening to the old Kaiser. I also remember staying at some crummy, overpriced, WT-enforced hotel that had a crappy effeciency room and no pool. Ick.

The Irony: 1986 was nearly 30 years ago now. Old M.G. Henschel is DEAD. My parents are all DEAD. The Capital Centre is DEAD. It was torn down and replaced with a mall in 2002, 12 whole years ago! Divine Peace in the form of God's Paradise on earth is STILL not here. Instead, TOMO III is blathering on about the all important spiritual matters like tight pants and homo-inspired socks. Apparently, at this convention of 15,177 attendants, 90 people were baptized. Now I ask you, can you even imagine that number (90+ people!!!!!) being baptized at a USA convention TODAY? I think a few International Conventions this year got those numbers and more, but can you imagine a DC pulling that number today? Not happening.

What hasn't changed: Fear mongering and guilt tripping from God's "one true" religion, as JW's can NEVER do enough, or GIVE enough time and money to this Cult. Yep, that's still going strong!

Here's a news article I found on google from a local paper which the JW's probably paid for in order to pat themselves on the back for a job well done:

Jan 15, 2015 - Why We Observe the Lords Evening Meal

by berrygerry in

shouldn't this be titled:.

why are we observing the lords evening meal again(wasn't 2014 supposed to be the very last memorial - we really mean it this time?)?.

.

WingCommander

At least they got the title correct. JW's merely "observe" the Lord's Evening Meal, they do not PARTICIPATE or PARTAKE OF THE EMBLEMS, which Jesus Himself commanded His followers to do in rememberance of Him, and also if they wanted everlasting life. I noticed a long time ago that Jesus didn't say, "Only those of the 144K do this in remembrance of Me," - NO! He said that EVERYONE should do this in remembrance of Him. The JW's merely observe their Governing Body OverLords partaking, and actually deny the emblems of Jesus body. What an eye-opener it was for me when this realization washed over me. The JW's are truly spiritually sick in the head.....one might even say they are "spiritually diseased."

Are there ANY mind-controlling cults that DON'T hate gays???

by NAVYTOWN in

jw
friends

please help me with this: can you think of a single mind-controlling cult that isn't anti-gay???

it seems to me that virtually all such groups preach against homosexuality.

jws.....mormons....moonies.....jim jones.....david koresh.....the catholic church.....radical islam.....russian orthodox church......scientology......lyndon larouche...to name just a few.

WingCommander

Umm......I can think of (2) right off the top of my head.

1.) Jim Jones, People's Temple. It is well documented now that Jim Jones was bisexual. Some of the lone-survivors and even his own son have said that Jim Jones liked to give and recieve anal sex with other men, encouraged it, asked for it. I've seen it talked about in several documentaries from survivors. It was one more way he abused and controlled people thru sex and shame. This on top of the religious, psychological, and drug abuse.

2.) Heaven's Gate. Applegate was a wide-eyed, cultist FREAK. He "deadened his member" (neutured) so as to not have it further distract him in his ministry, due to the fact that he was a closet homosexual. He encouraged others to sterlize themselves and become androginous as well.

"You have to find out her fears and exploit that. What is her worst fear?"

by cognac in

jw
friends

literally, a text message to my husband from one of his "friends".

he also wrote, "it's in her hands.

it's her move now.

WingCommander

Get a restraining order against your husbands "friend", then while you're at it, file for divorce and obtain a restraining order against HIM as well. This is going nowhere, and leading you to the mental ward.

Your entire situation with your husband and the JW's is absolutely TOXIC. You need to remove yourself and your children from these looney cult members.

"Confidential" JW.ORG Video Project Leaked

by Emery in

jw
friends

syneidos posted some interesting information on reddit regarding jw.org's latest project for the upcomming 2015 memorial campaign.. for next year's 2015 memorial campaign, jw.org is producing an invitational video featuring jesus.

the video is still being filmed at the moment and i was told it was super "confidential.

" my source already saw several scenes from it and said, "it looks and feels like a cinematic movie.

WingCommander

I just bet HeadQuarters sent some young hipster dufos JW's down to Florida to enroll in the cinema/film production courses at "Full Sail University." That's not really a University at all, but a for-profit tech school that rapes people for a good $100,000 USD and gives the "students" a diploma that is only good for wiping their behinds with since it's not recognized or accreditted anywhere else.

I think it's funny that the WT opened their new "education facility" down in Florida. That's where a lot of these for-profit scam schools are located. Might as well add another one to the list!

Anyway, I'm sure they're going to start producing all kinds of multimedia gimmick crap that will confuse people into believing they are as harmless as Mormons, but not quite as crazy as Scientologists. **GAG**

This pseudo-religious CULT has truly jumped the ship and evolved into a modern day American fraud. This is just another facet of their deception. Satan is after all, an "Angel of Light."

The PURE Language - Finaly

by Ish Elon in

jw
friends

who knows how many scribal errors the book we call 'the bible' contains?

the book of the law as written by the hand of moses has been found once more.

king josiah was the last king to see it and jeremiah the last prophet.

WingCommander

Obves, is that you again? I swear, between this one and Ocean111 it's like an old-time psych ward around here.

If you hear voices, I suggest you seek professional help. God is not talking or directing you out over the Governing Body, the Pope, or anyone else. You are delusional.

Thorazine, anyone?

tough year

by GoUnion in

hello everyone just wanted to give a litte update on my leaving jws.

i was an active ms up till the beginning of this year and things were going pretty good up till now.

my wife is active and that has been tough but we were managing.. two months ago my older brother passed of a sudden heart attack.

WingCommander

If you and your wife are divorcing amicably, then there is no reason to feel obligated for her financial stability. She is a grown woman, who can go back to college and get herself a career if she so chooses. OR, she can stay a JW and clean houses for a living. HER CHOICE, not yours. Women's lib was 40+ years ago, so she can go it on her own just fine without your support. You have NOTHING to feel guilty about. Get a divorce and get away from the craziness as soon as you can. You'll feel better in no time.

One MS just said: "You gotta little dirt down there"

Warwick Building Project Fluff Stories

by bruh2012 in

talking about an article that makes you want to throw-up in your mouth- wt-study jan 15, 2015 the offered themselves willingly.. amazing the psych job of selling your business, moving your entire family, quiting your job to be a "temporary" worker at the new world headquarters!.

throw your livelyhood away only to get the "feeling" that jehovahs is blessing you!

i wish there was away to track the psych job during patterson and other major projects of what happened to all the "friends" that sold and got rid of their livelyhood then and where are they now.. did you ever sacrifce it all for a building project only to be left with nothing after your "spiritual high"?.

WingCommander

How ironic: Christendom pays for it's missionaries, priests, gives them lodging, food, something to live off of. How does the jw.borg treat their volunteers? Why, by expecting everything from them, while giving them NOTHING in return except a kick in the ass and a silver screw as they are booted out the door. Some Christian love those posuers got going on there, huh? I'm so glad I never fell for what they were continually shoveling. I was always pissed that my parents were always trying to "encourage" me to pioneer, or shoot for Bethel service. Huh? What for? To live a controlled life of perpetual poverty and boredom? To be used and then tossed out on your ass once you reached retirement age? NO THANKS!
