Wobble, thanks for putting this up, Norman Hovlund really is an inspiration!
Sizemik, The letters to the gb are still there and are amazing.
Just a bit of his writing concerning the "happifying good news" that all jw's preach!
>
"In later years Brooklyn has played down the more gory sides and realities about the gigantic blood bath their so-called "Good News" is about, and which they look forward to with such joy. Today they are selling this mother of all holocausts in a more subtle way. They focus on all the problems that faces mankind, and then hints about how their "Good News" have the solution to all these problems.
I will show you some recent examples of how this is done. Great care is taken not to dwell on HOW all these problems are going to be solved, but still the macabre "solution" is in reality the same for all of these problems:
| | | | |
Problem: Diseases.
Solution: Kill 99,9% of mankind. | Problem: Pollution.
Solution: Kill 99.9% of Mankind. | Problem: Violence.
Solution: Kill 99,9% of mankind. | Problem: Unemployment.
Solution: Kill 99,9% of mankind. |
It is indeed strange that this ingenious "solution" haven't occurred to our politicians. Imagine President Clinton smiling and radiating satisfaction telling theAmerican people on national television the Good News about how he has come up with a solution that will solve diseases, pollution, violence and unemployment, - simple, just kill 99,9% of the US population. Only the president and his family and staff is to survive. Isn't it wonderful news? What a loving and considerate president! Strange that only leaders like Hitler, Stalin and the more recent Pol Pot, and of course Jehovah's Witnesses has grasped the true potential in this "wonderful" possibility.
I have struggled to understand how anyone considering themselves thinking human beings can call something like this "Good News", and dedicate their lives to spread this madness. The best we can hope for is that they never really have thought about what they are doing.
Some times you can find the following ad in the Watchtower magazine. This ad
show how subtle you can make something which in reality are grotesquely evil as something good, even desirable. As you can se the ad claim that you can "gain happiness" by learning about God and "his wonderful purpose for mankind" As we now know this "wonderful purpose" boils down to the fact that God intends to kill 99,9% of said mankind. How sick and perverted do you have to be to consider this a "wonderful purpose"? Is it possible to present something that would be the greatest mass slaughter in human history in a more distorted and dishonest way? Well, you have now gained more accurate knowledge about Jehovah's Witnesses "Good News" than they will ever tell you. Don't you feel happy?
