Welcome to the forum!!!
Open Mind
Thanks for the warm welcome.
Just thinking about 1925 and how the organization had Beth-Sarim built for the resurrection of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob to crash. What scripture did they get that from because I must have missed it at the meetings? Did it go something like, "And thoust must create a mansion for the ancient worthies in San Diego, California for their resurrection in 1925"? Additionally, Rutherford had two 12-cylinder Cadillacs for them to cruise around in. Was he going to teach them how to drive too?
Rutherford: "Okay, Abraham, hold down the clutch and shift to first gear ... yeah, now give it alittle gas ... just tap it. Tap it! Now let up on the clutch and ... NO! Slowly! SLOWLY! Now, give it some gas ... not too much! TOO MUCH! WATCH OUT FOR THAT TREE!!!"
The Elders are still trying to drag me back in. I had a long sit down with the Presiding Overseer and another Elder to go over my concerns. I told them about Beth-Sarim and they said they never heard of it. ("Theocratical Warfare Strategy") I showed them proof how the NWT makes changes in the scriptures. I showed them the numerous false prophecies. I showed them that the WTBTS was a member of the U.N. "the Great Harlot - a disgusting thing in the sight of God and his people" for ELEVEN YEARS! They didn't believe it.
As for the shunning, it won't bother me. The only thing is that my wife, who was born into this religion, is still very active and refuses to acknowledge my research. She doesn't want to discuss any material - no matter how factual. Also, she has now decided that we will not have children because she doesn't want to raise kids in a household with separate faiths. Thanks, Watchtower!
Sucks to be me.
