joseph t. "judge" rutherford, a leader of the early jehovah's witness movement, was determined to put an end to the "christian pyramidology" espoused by his predecessor, charles taze russell.. rutherford wrote a two-part articleappearing in the november 15 and december 1, 1928 editions of the watch towertitled, "the altar in egypt," wherein he declared:.
it is certain that the pyramid of gizeh was not built by jehovah god; nor was it built at his command.
it is more reasonable to conclude that the great pyramid of gizeh, as well as the other pyramids thereabout, also the sphinx, were built by the rulers of egypt and under the direction of satan the devil.
Nothing like black and white cult think to guarantee a mad naked dash into the thorny bushes of delusion is there?
Lets see, if Jehovah didnt build / or get someone to build the pyramids, then it MUST of course be SATAN! Stupid deluded fundie cult think right there!

It's good to see the lies and manipulation are still the go to method the WTBTS uses.
two brothers doing the territory stopped in at my place.

it has been a long time.. thanks to jw.org, i was reading some jw material (what does the bible teach i believe).
it was the first time reading a "book study" book in many years and i was blown away by the controlling, cultish writing.
this question especially struck me as manipulative: do you believe that we are living in the last days, and why?.
For the record, I understood your OP perfectly. No need to get so sniffy about it FFS.
months ago, i commented on another thread about a strategy i was using to introduce my wife to the way cults work--without using the word "cult" and scaring her away.
here's my first comment on that thread:.
i pulled hassan's bite model off the internet and imported it into my word processor.
Good.
i have come to the conclusion that there is no god.
period!!!
if there was a loving, righteous, all-knowing, all powerful god up there somewhere, where is he and what good is he???
If you allow anger and frustration to be the backbone of your faith you will prevail as an Atheist. imo, how can blaming God and being so angry with him equate instead to there being no God? The basic drive to Atheism, imo, is a weird conundrum that used anger at God as the basis for proof of his non-existence. Very interesting psychological logic.
Utter bollocks. if you equate rejection of the concept of god as some kind of hissy fit then this sounds more like wishful thinking on your part in order to ease the cog dis.
Ask any atheist why instead and it will usually just come down to research and a total lack of credible evidence. Any anger and frustration seen is with having wasted years of their lives in a lie and the destructive grip religion holds over the masses.

Once you realise that people all thru history have believed they were living in the last days, it kind of takes the gloss off it....
according to scripture, none of them ever met jesus.
i was a jw for 20 years and i never knew this!
i thought they were all apostles!
A cult like the watchtower is only ever going to feed it's own bias and agenda, bible study my frickin ass! They only want you to know what suits them, anything that doesnt is avoided or glossed over, no wonder we were in a mental prison.

All the "annointed" i have met (not many i grant you) have been just a little bit off, claiming special insight and knowledge and generally making shit up as they went along.
