  I've raised this issue many times over the years - all I got in the KH was blank stares!

  Still, this 'explanation' is probably typical borg-ese on the issue:

  he claimed that Satan started WWI in August as a smokescreen to divert peoples attention from Jesus rulership talking place shortly afterwards.

  But isn't there a problem with this? The WT teaches that, upon taking his kingship, Jesus waged war on Satan and kicked him out of heaven!

  So Satan started WWi as a smokescreen to prevent vision of what? And how did he do it, if he wasn't in heaven?

  Jesus was tying his shoes in August. Satan was busy going back and forth from the earth till he was kicked out. So while Jesus was bent over tying his shoes Satan started some crap on the earth to throw off the Seventh Day Adventists and the other millinialists from catching on. Of course it took Jesus until 1930 to get through to Rutherford what had really happened.

  it took Jesus until 1930 to get through to Rutherford what had really happened.

  That's because Rutherford was busy tying his shoes.
