Born and raised a salesman, he died as one too.

Pyramid at Russell's Grave Modeled After the Great Pyramid?
by cabasilas inuntil now, i have differentiated pastor russell's pyramidology beliefs from the pyramid that was erected next to his tombstone in pittsburgh, pennsylvania.
russell (following taylor, smyth, seiss and barbour) believed that the great pyramid of gizeh was "the bible in stone," testifying to scientific and theological truths.
the pyramid marker at his grave i believed was not related to his beliefs on the great pyramid, but were an elaboration of the plan of salvation as russell understood it.

The meeting tonight was UNBEARABLE
by Orgull ini had my tms tonight.
for those who don't know me, i no longer believe, but have only just begun my slow fade.. the meeting was unbearable.
first there was the brother who happily pointed out that i'd missed two meetings recently and that he was keeping track.

Leave this commercial publishing house, masquerading as a spiritually guided religion while you still have heart and soul, these god playing morons will take away both and leave you with
nothing, take it from a guy who was brought up in it from childhood, it's your responsibility as an individual to look between the cracks and see whats there.
They do a very good job of putting a white sheet over themselves as much as possible to lure people toward them, do not fall into their trap or you'll be sorry, Homer knows !

CO tells us the reason for the Tract Work
by stillajwexelder inok so this was told to the entire congregation by the circuit overseer.
"the society knows the tract work brings hardly any new disciples in.
we get a few good experiences out of it and a few start studies and attend a few meetings.

Sell it baby if you want to keep in good standing in the congregation, aren't you aware that god is taking in account of how many times your going in service
yes he does and were also taking in account also at the hall, you must realize you are being watched all the times in everything you do.
Remember the time is near of gods vengeance and judgment upon mankind, how well you will be judged is purely up to you ! he he

How accurate can the Bible really be?
by Snoozy inhow accurate can the bible really be?
i am losing faith that it is accurate at all.. according to an article i read in our paper today they are now saying in translation there are no english words to match every word...so the scripture that say "peace on earth and goodwill towards all men " should really be " peace on earth to all men of goodwill ".. now if they can screw something that simple up..what else in the bible have they screwed up?.
snoozy....

Rutherford and Golden Age Magazine - Proof of What?
by Seeker4 inyears ago i was having a conversation with another elder about rutherford and the golden age magazine.
we were both good students, and well aware of what an asshole rutherford had been, and how outrageous many of the things written in the golden age were.
after commenting on them, and joking aloud how you never hear golden age quoted today and that rutherford seemed to just be the biggest jerk, the brother said to me, in all seriousness, "well, it just goes to show you that jehovah can use anyone to accomplish his purpose.

Rutherford certainly knew where the seat of power was in the publishing house and obviously knew of the marketing potential that it had, it doesn't take a smart man to
gain power it just needs an aggressive one.
It still amazes me how these guys kept and were able to hold on to that power with all their false prophecys they presented, I suspect I was due to controlled information.
and when a group of followers left, there was always someone left behind to sell and bring in new stock.
This organization was developed on false pretense and coercion, you might say the proof is in the pudding or perhaps up on top of the tower !

The bible is merely some mythical story telling, with some historical facts thrown in, no less written by ignorant imperfect men that lived thousands of years ago
How can anyone confidently assume that it would or could be accurate !
Thrown in to mix the many translations and interpretations that have taken place then, and what should a rational thinking person conclude ?

About All This Tract Work
by WTWizard init used to happen about once every three or four years.

I'd also like to point out that tracts are much easer to print/ labor and materials, than their other literature
cheaper to produce and post out to the kingdom halls, $$$
Still using their infallible marketing scheme that they have used for decades though, cant they think of anything else ?
