  Golden Age, 24th March 1926 p404 1926 " Negative Gravitation .. new discovery .. radiant energy .. radio-activity .. Many have wondered how accidents would be avoided during Christ's kingdom, since we are told that nothing shall then hurt or destroy. Most accidents are due to gravitation and its effects. Falling from airplanes.. may be avoided by an individual negative gravity device. Scientists tell us that there is enough atomic energy in a finger-nail to propel a battleship. The people of the future may carry a little of this energy around with them, and i f they fall down an elevator shaft they can let themselves down easy. Then they can turn a little more on and go back up The Finished Mystery, 1926 edition, p 85 [Explanation: Here "leviathan" is interpreted as a train locomotive, Biblical reference to Leviathan in Job 40:15 to 41:34 is fulfilled by the arrival of the Locomotive Engine - brackets all in original. TFIM was described by the Watchtower as a "a powerful commentary on Revelation] Thou wilt lengthen out leviathan ( the locomotive ) with a hook ( automatic coupler ) or with a snare ( coupling-link ) to drop down. Wilt thou not place a ring ( piston ) in his nostrils ( cylinders ) or pierce through his cheeks ( piston-ends ) with a staff ( piston rod )? Will he make repeated supplications unto thee ( to get off the track )? Or will he utter soft tones unto thee ( when he screeches with the whistle )? […] Wilt thou play with him as with a bird ( make him whistle at will )? Or wilt thou bind ( enslave ) him for thy maidens ( so that you can take them to a picnic or convention )? Companies ( of stockholders ) will feast upon him ( his earnings )…

  We should avoid pasteurized milk because Louis Pasteur is a fake

  Thanks for a laugh from the past, Jaime!

  But, IMHO the WT religion is #3. My personal rank in order of absurdity is:

  1. Scientology

  2. Mormonism

  3. Jehovah's Witnesses

  Maybe we'll have negative-gravity energy-packs in the New Order, but the Mormons have magic underpants already today!

  And while the WT has merely flirted with science fiction, Scientology IS science-fiction!

  The History of Mormonism by South Park.
  
  here is the song for you to sing.
  
  Joseph Smith was called a prophet
  Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb
  He started the Mormon religion
  Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb.
  Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb
  Joseph Smith was called a prophet-
  
  Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb
  Many people believed Joseph
  Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb
  And that night he-ee saw an angel
  Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb

  How Mormon is Mitt Romney?

  But the bloodiest are Jehovah's Witnesses have been killed by the refusal to tasplantes and transfusions, almost 300,000 people. Mormons or Scientology are not murderous

  Ah, the "bloodiest"???

  So, you're ignoring all those heretics and so-called "witches" killed by the Catholic church during the Dark Ages and all those killed by the Protestants after THAT movement separated from the Catholic church???

  Just messin' with ya!!

  Regarding some of their outrageous claims - it seems that a number of religions in America that were started in the 1800s were generated by con-men and shysters...

  The Mormon's Joseph Smith was convicted for swindles he attempted, and I think ol' Russell himself had legal troubles over his fictitious "Miracle Wheat". And then there's the Seventh-Day Adventists' founder, Ellen White, who made some extravagant claims for the vegetarianism she was extolling...

  We speak of bloody sects today, of course the Catholic Church is the bloodiest and Muslims, Protestants etc, and counting the Davidians, the People's Temple, and many, many
