    When one takes a close analytical look at the workings of the Watchtower Corporation

    over the years, right back from its very beginning, it becomes obvious that this religious

    publishing house has exploited the bible toward its own concerning means.

    Commercialism in the face of religious virtue.

    This organization has always created its own established doctrines to lure people toward the

    organization and its published works, as well to cultivate followers who were intensionally to

    be exploited themselves in the literature distribution agenda.

    The cunning part comes in where the leading executive editors for the organization selectively

    choose what scripture they want to use to support their assertions and then develop their

    own interpretation for commercialy advantageous purposes. The constant drumming of the world is at its end

    soon proclamation has been a core doctrine which has been exploited to the extreme for over a century by this organization, not necessarily truthful but

    certainly a notable viable vehicle to lure people toward the organization's literature.

    They know this doctrine's value and its commercial appealing aspect and there's no sign they tend to drop it any time soon.

    The WTS. should be thankful they were able to establish itself in a country where religions, even ones structured around a publishing house

    could conduct themselves openly and freely to their own design and self direction.

    Religious freedom meant commercial freedom for the WTS. and all the money and power achieved with the intent of sustaining itself.

    Quite right, Finkel, you lovely chubby baby, they do pretend to have a biblical foundation for their teachings, but even they, in all their arrogance, only claim their teachings are "based" on the Bible, not that they are scripturally accurate.

    As to the lure of the "End Time" thingy, I had personal experience of that a while ago, I met a guy who had been a "fringe" Jw for years, and had drifted away for a while, but when I met him, he knew I had left, but told me he had gone back, because "I am sure something is about to happen".

    Poor deluded guy.

    The term "exploitation" is a great one to describe what is happening in Brooklyn, NY. They are exploiting the Bible and using their unique "understanding" of the scriptures to keep themselves afloat.

    The WTS. has always created a semblance of fear to work off from, if they purposed that Armageddon was coming soon and

    created this fearful delusion (psychosis), they could not only lure people toward them but they could also intensionally control them as well.

    Then the person thinks well how can I be a saved one, what should I do, I don't want to be one that gets destroyed ?

    Well the game starts there, from that point on the WTS. starts indoctrinating people to their own discerning will, which involves training them

    to be subservient sales representatives. Once the WTS realizes they have captured someone, they know that they can attainably exploit

    these people for labor by distributing their literature and cultivating even more devoted followers as well money.

    Which can be identified by the monthly service reports and year end reports.

    The WTS. loves to hear their membership increasing, for they know what that means for them in assuming power and money.

    Ironically the WTS. used to call other religious organizations a snare and a racket, which upon reflective honesty pretty much describes

    what the WTS. organization is really.

    C.T.Russell was a businessman.

    He started a corporation to sell books.

    He and his wife wrote prolifically.

    J.F.Rutherford was even more prolific. Where the corruption entered in was when pulling a rabbit out of a hat stopped being a trick.

    The magicians started believing in the power of the magic wand!

    The "rabbit" was Armageddon, of course.

    Audiences never seemed to tire of it.

    And, Armageddon never comes! That's the beautiful part of it all. The Watchtower Corporation publishes the same basic book over and over and over.

    Only the title changes or the size or the color. But, sales soar. Why? Armageddon sells!

    Do you have any idea how many of those lame LEFT BEHIND series of novels were sold? 65 MILLION copies!

    How about Hal Lindsey's book, LATE GREAT PLANET EARTH? 28 MILLION copies!

    Writing about this topic SELLS!

    But, L.Ron Hubbard went through a similar "Aha!" moment after he wrote his DIANETICS book. He didn't want to pay taxes on the sales of his book.

    So, "Aha!" what if he turned Dianetics into a Religion, instead?

    Russell, Rutherford and all subsequent Watchtower Corporation leaders know that tying tax-free status in with a publishing phenomenon is very lucrative.

    The biggest problem comes when people spend their lives believing it.

    Armageddon has great appreciative commercial value when utilized by religious charlatans running a publishing house.

    Talk about genocide and total world destruction and your going to obviously open a segment of the population's eyes to be sure.

    Come to think about it, it would also make for a tantalizing and enticing movie

    Absolutely right, Finkelstein and Terry. The Watchtower preys upon people's fears, and uses their respect for the Bible for its own nefarious purposes.

    It's a commercially=based cult.

    Omg. This is spot on. My relatives are never going to figure this out. They are stuck in this for life.

    Religions can be sometimes analytically observed in the same way used car salesmen go about selling their cars toward the public.

    Pointing their finger at the other car lots across the street and saying how bad that lot is (religion)

    and then self proclaiming their cars (religion) are truthful presented.

    As well having a sales manager (Overseer) looking over all the other salespeople to make sure they are saying what

    they are supposed to say by the training they received and that they are groomed appropriately for the job.

    And to of course make sure no salespeople are dissenting from supporting the products they are suppose to be selling,

    as those particular ones will be duly brought into the back office for direct counseling by the manager (Overseer) of the lot.
