What makes a loving son strap dynamite to his body wrapped with nails then blow himself up killing women and children while at the sametime making his mother proud that he died for such a noble cause?
The belief that you are right enables people to do almost anything and hold onto that belief against all opposition, in fact opposition makes you stronger in your stance.
J.F Rutherford believed Russell was greater than Jesus...until it interfered with his new belief.... that he was greater than Jesus. I wish when he stood on that platform in 1935 and said behold the Great Crowd someone would have shouted back ..What the Fk are you talking about, last year we were going to heaven....asshole!
Think of the power...increasing every year...100,000.....500,000....1,000,000...3,000,000.....6,000,000 not to mention all the JW pets...millions of cats and dogs destined to make it through the Great tribulation with thier loyal masters.
Don't have children the end is too close...have a pet instead..Jehover will protect your pet won't he...He protected Balaam's ass....Oops sorry I was having a little fun.
I honestly try to stay serious...just can't help myself.
