    What really happened around 1918 when WT leaders were imprisoned?

    i had never thought about this until just now when i saw that nathan natas posted some early tract from rutherford, and it made me think back to what little i could remember of the history i was taught.

    i now know that in most cases the dubs will spin stories in their favor.

    so i'm now assuming i was told some fictitious story about what happened when the leaders were thrown in prison and things looked bleak for the cult way back when.

    It's all pretty fuzzy to me now too but wasn't there some nonsense about a prophet (Ezekiel:4) who lay on his side for 3 days which they said represented the time that the JW's were out of commission while they served their time in prison?

    As for you, lie down on your left side and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel on it; you shall bear their iniquity for the number of days that you lie on it.For I have assigned you a number of days corresponding to the years of their iniquity, three hundred and ninety days; thus you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.

    They also used to say that the clergy were all sending each other gifts and congratulating themselves because they finally got the Watchtower shut down. They somehow used Revelation 11:10 to prove this was also fulfillment of a prophecy.

    And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them and celebrate; and they will send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth.

    I can't believe I ever bought into such nonsense.

    A similar situation that happened a few years ago, was discussed HERE

    Many JW's, because of what they've read in the literature and heard from the platform, feel they are protected while engaged Jehovah's work. (rightly so)

    One JW brochure (see illustration on the lower right) indicates that the angels are hoovering above JW's as they go from door to door. Apparently they weren't watching out for vicious dogs...again.

    Too funny....that dog's going down at Armageddon for sure ! Just for grins (evil grins) I'm going to enlarge this photo, print it and put it up on the wall of our office building just above where the JW's stand with their cart each week. Maybe I'll come up with a caption for the photo such as.

    " NEW LIGHT....CHRISTIANS MUST ABSTAIN FROM URINE HOWVER URINE FRACTIONS ARE ACCEPTABLE"

    I'll take a photo of it if I can do it without being too obvious and post it tomorrow.

    See my earlier post
