of the earth IT'S ALL ABOUT MAMA BEAR AND HER CUBS
Between 1967 and 1975 most Jehovah's Witnesses were hedging EVERYTHING
on the 1975 Watchtower end of the world prophecy. They postponed
everything, liquidated assets, they lived and they DIED for Armageddon
in 1975.
I know because I was THERE age 10 in 1967 when the 'profitcy' was
announced (Montreal convention release of the 'Life in freedom of the
son's of God' book) it was a little red hardcover book authored by then
Watchtower president Fred Franz.
It shook the Watchtower World.
In the summer of '75 some members of my congregation even neglected
giving the family car an overdue oil change knowing that cars could
become unnecessary.
The date was a complete deadly fiasco, and get this, they had the gall
to string us along for ANOTHER 4 years with the rhetorical addendum of
"how long did it take Adam to name the Animals"?
Meanwhile at age 18 my Ulcerative Colitis is eating me away!
1990 Watchtower charlatans ordered the rank and file followers AGAIN
in 1990 NOT TO HAVE CHILDREN.
I was THERE at the Providence Rhode Island USA district convention
and heard it for myself.
This 'papal bull' worldwide mandate from the governing body of
Jehovah's Witnesses was further elaborated in a follow up primary
Watchtower study at the Kingdom Hall that fall on "not to have kids".
THINK of all the women close to menopause who complied with this
directive 'because the end is just so close' and forfeited forever the
chance to nurture their maternal instincts and have a baby.
Get this! My beloved baby sister was born in the spring of 1976 my
mother was denounced for getting 'knocked up' 'just before Armageddon'.
We rallied in the 'promise' that my kid sister would never having to
START public school in "Satan's system".
The Watchtower cult has been holding her and the rest of my family
hostage,ongoing 15 years now and I don't know who is dead or alive.
HEY! By the way,. . . time marched on and I forgot to have kids of my
own and will die childless.
In 1926 drunken Watchtower Godfather Joe Rutherford admitted he made
an 'a** of himself' for the "millions now living will never die" 1925
failure.
The Watchtower memorializes that several thousand of their members
perished in the wicked WW2 Nazi cult holocaust, and says, 'those who
forget the past are doomed to repeat it".
Satan never Sleeps.
Satan sez's;"so what if there is turn-over cause there's always fresh
prey to be recruited".

My final exit,point of "know" return:Rockland Massachusetts Kingdum
Hell was BIG on outrageous sexual harassment of the "toy boys"
A 36 year old obnoxious hag,Jezebel Grandmother,("Tammy Faye Baker

Rodney.
When I went to the Elders they said:"That's the way she is,she likes to
act like a teenager."
Note:NOTHING I post is made up.
I protested to the elders at my last stand,(the Rockland
Massachusetts Kingdum hell) about gross sexual harrassment from some
prima donna sleazy 'sisters'.
One 'sister' in particular borderlined on felony sexual assult.She
would literally bend over and wiggle her fat flabby tits and ass
IN the Kingdum hell.I would discribe her as,"Tammy faye Baker
look-a-like only uglier" obnoxious Beelzebub bitch.
The elders reply was,"Danny they are the sisters,they want to make
it look like your chasing them...."Thats verbal assult and sexual
assult too.
Ya know,i now attend a very liberal church of 'christendom'(

Blowing the whistle on the Watchtower RACKET,an organization that is
selling millions of dollars of merchandise without collecting sales
tax.
The following letter was mailed out in quantity to the 50 states (Sales
Tax Fraud Divisions) in early 1997. The collecting of sales tax by
peddlers from customers is required in 49 of the 50 states.
Here is a facsimile of the letter I write in 1997:
ATTN: Certified Mail to
Criminal Investigation Tax Fraud Division
To all 50 USA states and all I.R.S. Offices
January 15, 1997
Dear Tax Office,
I am writing to blow the whistle on an organization I used to belong
to, an organization that is selling millions of dollars of merchandise
in this state without collecting sales tax.
The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York ships truckloads of
books, videos, tapes and assorted other merchandise to their Kingdom
Halls across the state. The members take these items from there and
sell them house-to-house, returning the money collected to the Kingdom
Hall, so that it can be mailed back to Brooklyn headquarters each
month.
They talk about "donations" but this is a thinly veiled tax-dodging
sales operation. Dunn & Bradstreet reports for recent years show their
sales in the $1 billion range, so the Jehovah's Witness are certainly
selling $--millions in this state.
The religious publishing operations and bookstores connected with other
churches are collecting and paying sales tax. As a taxpayer, I am
writing to blow the whistle and to ask what is going to be done about
the Watchtower's TAX EVASION.

Charlie Manson 'without the look' Primer on the Psychopaths.The
consummate con artist.
Hardcore psychopaths can often beat a polygraph (lie detector) because
they have NO conscience.
A psychopath will look you in the eye,so that you can see your
reflection in the back of their retina when they bold face lie to you!
Psychopathy is a non treatable condition,because is not an illness it
is a moral condemnation.
All psychopaths have a profound sense of supremacist
entitlement-they'll take anybody's money.
Jesus said his followers would be "the salt of the earth" not the scum
of the earth.
Ninety percent (and i am being nice) of Watchtower "promises" are
falsehoods.
Lets take just one "promise", the promise of 'living forever on a
paradise earth' on the condition of servitude (enslavement) to the
Watchtower corporation cult charlatans.
The cult dynamic 'control freak with a mean streak' is much like the
battered spouse syndrome except it's on a large scale.The Watchtower is
a supremacist cult (we're better than everyone else) so it attracts
psychopaths.
Jehovah's Witnesses have more 'psychopaths per capita' than anywhere
except the prisons.
Satan is the original pure psychopath,Jesus said he was the "father of
the lie" and the Bible say's he manipulates by deception.
The Watchtower pedophile whitewash and the Jehovah Witness lies, go on
and on because their leaders are predatory psychopaths just like Satan.
Yes,it's uncanny how people imitate the God that they worship.
Cults, always count the lawyers It's a dead give away.
How many lawyers do you need?Is the Watchtower corporation 'corporate
raiders'?
If they are so benevolent,why do they all the lawyers?

Watchtower Obstructs Justice for Abused Children.What would Jesus Do?
It was a sad blow Friday July 15, 2005, when the majority of judges in
an appeal hearing before the Supreme Court of New Hampshire ruled
against continuing a case of child sexual abuse.
It represented a four year battle with hundreds of thousands of donated
funds of Jehovah's Witnesses be spent with law firms in the New
Hampshire area to files numerous frivolous motions to prolong and run
up costs on the civil case.
Jehovah's Witness lawyers supported Paul Berry, a convicted child
molester, by providing him with free legal assistance to protect his
religious right from further convictions of child sexual abuse.
While victims and advocates sat on one side of the court room,
Jehovah's Witness attorneys sat with Paul Berry and offered testimony
in his behalf to protect him from further criminal prosecution.
Paul Berry remains a Jehovah's Witness in good standing and upon his
release from prison will be required to make visits to the homes of the
public to start bible studies
(will he be knocking on your door?)
It is estimated that well over $500,000 has been spent in donated funds
of Jehovah's Witnesses for the legal defense of Paul Berry.
Are you donating money to the Watchtower?
What would Jesus do?

The Skinny on Stockholm Syndrome - Attraction Repulsion Compulsion.
Topic:Stockholm Syndrome what is it?
THE PLEA OF THE SLAVE:"PLEASE DON'T BEAT ME MASTER,I WILL BE GOOD"
Definition in psychiatry- an emotional attachment to a captor formed by
a hostage as a result of continuous stress, dependence, and a need to
cooperate for survival...
""They weren't bad people. They let me eat, they let me sleep, they
gave me my life"" - A hostage from Flight 847
The Attraction Repulsion Compulsion induced by the control freaks with
a mean streak.
Stockholm syndrome in the cult cocoon has been compared to spousal
abuse (wife beating) the wives are told to "keep sweet and silent"
--It's the same dynamic of the: Abusive Control Freak with a Mean
Streak--Except it's on a LARGE SCALE.
The same issues come into play: example -"If i am a better servant
(fawn on,suck up and curry favor) maybe my tormentor won't beat me up
as much"?
It's a variation of the passive / aggressive,'good cop / bad cop
routine'.
This same dynamic has been observed in dogs and other critters that are
abused,they sometimes become more attached and dependent on their
master!
In a moment of clarity i peeked out of the cult cocoon and came to my
senses.

Cocooned by a Cult-Swarm over You with Instant Family,Instant
Friends,Instant Purpose...
Love-bombing is characteristic of most cults Prospects, recruits and
members are drowned in a sea of love and caring.
Is this what Christ meant when he said, "By this will all men know that
you are My disciples, if you have love for one another," (John 13:35)?
I've heard cult members say, "Of course we practice love-bombing: Who'd
want to be in a group or church that practiced hate-bombing?" This
attitude highlights a common misconception.
Hate-bombing is not the opposite of love-bombing.
The opposite of love-bombing is unconditional love. Love-bombing is
highly conditional.
The cults will love you to death while you represent a prospective
convert to their group. As a member a tight family love will surround
you as you faithfully promote their cause.
However, when it is clear that a prospect will not join the group or a
member voices doubts, create waves, or leaves the group, all love
ceases.
Indeed scorn is immediately heaped on these individuals and remaining
members are told not to have any contact with them.
All time, effort and love-bombing is then directed towards new
prospects and the faithful members. Is this the love evangelical
churches should practice?
Unconditional love is what God practiced when he sent his Son to die
for us "while we were yet sinners," (Romans 5:8).
He doesn't love us because we might become or are his faithful
servants. He simply loves us. He will disapprove of our sin and approve
of our faith but He will always love us.
Churches need to love visitors because they are humans created in God's
image and not because they are prospective members. The love needs to
continue if the visitor chooses to associate with another group of
believers.
Problem members need to be loved even if they create problems or leave
in a huff. Christians need to practice God's kind of love.

Danny Haszard -Expert witness on
the Jehovah's Witness www.DannyHaszard.com
Watchtower's plagiarizing pirate ship was 'scuttled', before it ever
left the docks. It was all the 'blind following the blind'.
If they can't use you they will abuse you.
Brainwashing has become almost a household word in the last two decades
or so. In 1961, Robert J. Lifton wrote the definitive book on the
subject, Thought Reform and the Psychology of Totalism, after studying
the effects of mind control on American prisoners of war under the
Communist Chinese. Lifton outlines eight major factors that can be used
to identify whether a group is a destructive cult or not. Any
authoritarian religion should be held up to the light in order to
determine just how destructive their influence is on their members.
Judge for yourselves.
(1) Milieu Control
"Milieu" is a French word meaning "surroundings; environment." Cults
are able to control the environment around their recruits in a number
of ways, but almost always using a form of isolation. Recruits can be
physically separated from society, or they can be warned under threat
of punishment to stay away from the world's educational media,
especially when it might provoke critical thinking. Any books, movies
or testimonies of ex-members of the group, or even anyone critical of
the group in any way are to be avoided.
Information is carefully kept on each recruit by the mother
organization. All are watched, lest they fall behind or get too far
ahead of the thinking of the organization. Because it appears that the
organization knows so much about everything and everyone, they appear
omniscient in the eyes of the recruits.
(2) Mystical Manipulation
In religious cults, God is ever-present in the workings of the
organization. If a person leaves for any reason, accidents or ill-will
that may befall them are always attributed to God's punishment on them.
For the faithful, the angels are always said to be working, and stories
circulate about how God is truly doing marvelous things among them,
because they are "the truth." The organization is therefore given a
certain "mystique" that is quite alluring to the new recruit.
(3) Demand for Purity
The world is depicted as black and white, with little room for making
personal decisions based on a trained conscience. One's conduct is
modeled after the ideology of the group, as taught in its literature.
People and organizations are pictured as either good or evil, depending
on their relationship to the cult.
Universal tendencies of guilt and shame are used to control
individuals, even after they leave. There is great difficulty in
understanding the complexities of human morality, since everything is
polarized and oversimplified. All things classified as evil are to be
avoided, and purity is attainable through immersion into the cult's
ideology.
(4) The Cult of Confession
Serious sins (as defined by the organization) are to be confessed
immediately. The members are to be reported if found walking contrary
to the rules.
There is often a tendency to derive pleasure from self-degradation
through confession. This occurs when all must confess their sins before
each other regularly, creating an intense kind of "oneness" within the
group. It also allows leaders from within to exercise authority over
the weaker ones, using their "sins" as a whip to lead them on.
(5) The "Sacred Science"
The cult's ideology becomes the ultimate moral vision for the ordering
of human existence. The ideology is too "sacred" to call into question,
and a reverence is demanded for the leadership. The cult's ideology
makes an exaggerated claim for possessing airtight logic, making it
appear as absolute truth with no contradictions. Such an attractive
system offers security.
(6) Loading the Language
Lifton explains the prolific use of "thought-terminating cliches,"
expressions or words that are designed to end the conversation or
controversy. We are all familiar with the use of the cliches
"capitalist" and "imperialist," as used by antiwar demonstrators in the
60's. Such cliches are easily memorized and readily expressed. They are
called the "language of non-thought," since the discussion is
terminated, not allowing further consideration.
In the Watchtower, for instance, expressions such as "the truth", the
"mother organization", the "new system", "apostates" and "worldly"
carry with them a judgment on outsiders, leaving them unworthy of
further consideration.
(7) Doctrine Over Person
Human experience is subordinated to doctrine, no matter how profound or
contradictory such experiences seem. The history of the cult is altered
to fit their doctrinal logic. The person is only valuable insomuch as
they conform to the role models of the cult. Commonsense perceptions
are disregarded if they are hostile to the cult's ideology.
(8) Dispensing of Existence
The cult decides who has the "right" to exist and who does not. They
decide who will perish in the final battle of good over evil. The
leaders decide which history books are accurate and which are biased.
Families can be cut off and outsiders can be deceived, for they are not
fit to exist!

Rootin Tootin-Russel Meets Rutherford
The night has come to Beth Sarim mansion as President Joe Rutherford
(the "Judge") sits cleaning his pistol and sipping whiskey from a flask
on the edge of his silk sheets at bedtime.
There is a knock at the bedroom door.
"Come!" the Judge growls.
The finely polished door opens and into his bedchambers steps a newly
resurrected Charles Taze Russell with full beard (minus mustache) and
naked as a jaybird.
Rutherford glances up and spills his flask, dropping the pistol to the
floor. The gun hits on the cocked hammer and a bullet whizzes through
Russell's beard penetrating the oak door jam.
"Great Zion!, what's going on here", the Judge roars as he woozily
tries to leap to his feet.
"Oh, stifle it Joe. I'm an Ancient Worthy returning to claim the
mansion. I want you out now!" Russell scratches the hole in his beard
and saunters over to the chest of drawers next to Rutherford's bed and
begins opening drawers.
"Ahh, pajamas!" Russell grins.
"Stop! STOP! You..you maniac...I'll have you arrested!" the Judge
screams and then suddenly pauses in mid breath to appraise the figure
before him. It dawns on him quickly----the man really is Charley
Russell! Immediately his legs lose strength and he falls back on the
bed. The whiskey flask catapults into the air and clunks him on the
forehead with a "ping".
"Oh, dear Lord...oh dear Lord..." this is terrible...just terrible.....
"What's terrible about me returning, Joe? You told everyone at the
assemblies the Ancient Worthies would return."
"No, not that", Rutherford groans, "I spilled my whiskey all over the
sheets. It was my last till the new shipment comes. Ohhhh...."
Russell begins putting the pajamas on.
"What's so bad about that, Joe?"
"PROHIBITION, that's what's bad about it! Started 5 years ago. Those
idiots made it illegal to buy or manufacture alcoholic beverages!!"
Rutherford sits up and rubs the bump on his head, then, slyly grins at
the sight of Charles Taze Russell wearing his polka dot silk pajamas.
"What's so funny, Joe?"
"Heh he he, you are one scrawny fellow! Always looked anemic to me."
His smile fades. "Say, why don't you have a Perfect Body?"
Russell finds a chair near the bed and scoots it across the fine
Turkish carpet and seats himself next to Rutherford's bed knee to knee.
"Listen, Judge, there are more things in heaven and Earth than are
dreamt of in your philosophy".
"Huh?"
"Shakespeare....I think." Russell begins weaving the hairs of his beard
into little braids and then unwinding them as he speaks.
"Joe Rutherford, listen to me. I speak in the name of our Lord as his
Faithful and Wise Servant...." The Judge interrupts.
"No no no. Now just hold on a second. That's not kosher anymore. We
changed all that. You aren't the mouthpiece of Jah---I AM!"
Russell glares and stands up looking down on Rutherford's bald pate. He
points a bony finger in his eye.
"You sir---are a THIEF...a common thief! You were NOT designated to
take over the corporation. It was in my will!! You are not my APPOINTED
successor. By what right do you make changes?" The old voice is shrill
and raspy and the eyes bulging from their watery sockets.
Rutherford jumps to his feet and pushes the boney finger aside and
walks past Russell to the doorway. He opens the door and points to the
empty space in the hallway.
"Get out you greybeard looney!"
Russell doesn't budge. He smiles and sits down on the whiskey flask.
Flinches, pulls it out of his behind and tosses it at Rutherford.
Rutherford closes the door calmly and sits in the chair where Russell
had been sitting.
"Now look, Charley, what I did was LEGAL and pretty damned clever. I
pulled a finesse. You know what a legal finesse is? (Russell is
motionless). "I'll tell you what it is....it is an indication that I'm
the one with the brains to get this religion into mainstream on a
paying basis. We've pretty much used up your personal fortune. Now it
is time for the brethren to give back. I've given them work to do that
generates some real cash flow!"
Russell lies back on the cushy swan's down pillow and crosses his
ankles staring up at the canopy over the bed. He purses his lips and
then turns his head to Rutherford.
"Racketeer would be more accurate than thief. You are a racketeer, Joe.
You want to take what was a beautiful idea and turn it into a racket;
a---what did you call it? Ah yes, a 'mainstream" religious sect...or
cult. Why? Why would you destroy my work like this? Just for money?"
Rutherford stands up and his eyes grow very large. He holds his index
finger aloft and says, "Bingo!" He climbs up on the chair and reaches
into the light fixture. Pulling out a small flask of whiskey he pulls
the cork and chugs back a gulp. "Ahhh."
"Now, what were you blathering about, Pastor Russell? I'm a what? A
crook? A Racketeer? Pot calling the kettle black, if you ask me." He
climbs down off the chair and takes another hit from the whiskey and
replaces the cork.
"Follow me old man!" Rutherford leaves the bedroom without looking
back.
The two men reach the bottom of the stairs and Rutherford gestures
broadly to Russell.
"You see all this? It isn't for you as an Ancient Worthy. It is really
for me. The boys at Bethel wanted to get me out of their hair. Why?
Because I'm tough and foul-mouthed? No, because I don't put up with
crap like YOU DID!"
Rutherford leads Russell throughout the mansion stopping now and again
to point out the valuables, antiques, carpets, silverware and crystal
as he speaks. Russell peers appraisingly each time and nods in
appreciation.
"Pastor, you poured a King's Ransom into the Bible Students and what
good did it do? No, don't answer--I'll tell you. You fed a lot of
people a load of crap and nothing more. But, you did do one thing
right. You got people busy. Busy Christians are valuable as an asset to
the corporation".
They stroll into the garden area and the men pause in front over the
various floral groups and hedges as they chat.
"Now Pastor, it doesn't really matter much that you got them all
excited for nothing---I mean, Armageddon didn't come in 1874, did it?
You thought it would and even promised God told you it would--don't
deny it! Do you know what year it is now?"
Russell shrugs. "I916?"
"Ha ha ha ha ha. No, you bewhiskered old fool---it is 1925!!! You've
been dead NINE years! And, guess what? There is STILL NO ARMAGEDDON!
Ha."
Russell, truly bewildered, begins to weep but no water comes out of his
eyes.
"That cannot be true, Joe. It cannot be true. I am alive! That means
the resurrection has happened if I was dead. No Armageddon? How?"
Rutherford motions for him to sit on a concrete bench in front of a
flowing fountain. The evening air is turning brisk in Southern
California. The stars begin to show in a clear sky. Somewhere a dog
begins yapping at a noisey neighbor.
"Sit here Charley. Here, have a snort of rye whiskey. It will put hair
on your chest!"
Russell turns his head disgustedly.
"Fine, more for me then." Rutherford takes a slug of rye and wipes his
lips. "Here is how the cow eats the cabbage. Listen up and be quiet."
Rutheford stands and begins giving a lecture as though he was in front
of a jury of tired old businessmen.
"Your money is the only thing that carried you as far as you went,
Charles. Or, Pastor Charles, if you like. That and your wife, Maria!"
Russell gives him a poisonous look and grunts in disgust.
"Stings you to hear it? Well, it is true. It was Maria who came up with
the doctrine of Faithful and Wise Servant and she applied it to you.
That made you a product, a Brand Name, if you will. You became the
Mouthpiece of the Lord. Your money, your publishing company and your
colporteurs advertised the Pyramid nonsense and made it work. Ya got
people all stirred up and Millennial. Don't deny it."
Russell opens his mouth to protest, thinks the better of it and motions
for Rutherford to finish.
"People love END TIMES. It is delicious and exciting. They get
themselves all in a lather about the coming of the Lord. Ya know why?
I"ll tell you and you know in your heart it is true. People love to get
worked up over the Armageddon business because it is the only damned
thing that can make them feel like this Bible stuff IS REAL!!"
Russell leaps to his feet in a self-righteous zeal, "Stop that
blasphemy you contemptible cur! Don't speak about our Lord's revealed
word in such a venal tone! He will strike you dead on the spot!"
Rutherford makes a mocking face and smiles, "Okay, Strike me down now,
Lord----if you are up there--out there, over there----umm, where
exactly is the Lord this evening, Pastor?"
Russell pulls himself up to full height and tilts his head back in
disdain. "The Lord is watching you and weighing every word that falls
from your blasphemous lips. You have been weighed in the balance and
found lacking!"
Judge Rutherford pulls back his smoking jacket and points to his
cummerbund with the holster. "See this pistol, Pastor, that is the only
word of the Lord that can speak around here."
Russell points to the empty holster.
"Oh." The Judge says quizzically. "I forgot I wounded your beard with
it. Sorry about that. You startled me."
Russell beckons for the Judge to sit beside him in a gazebo near the
center of the flowered walkway. The Pastor speaks quietly building up a
head of steam as he goes.
"I sincerely believed every word I wrote or spoke in my lifetime. You
wouldn't understand that, would you? No, you are a lawyer. A lawyer is
all about getting a thing done regardless of it being right or wrong. A
judge, in fact, is the one who decides what is right and wrong--does he
not? You speak it---and it is now a legal truth. That has obviously
become a habit in your thinking."
Rutherford burps.
"Judge, you are an ambitious and ruthless fellow who saw a good thing
with certain potential and you found a .....for want of a better
word..."legal" way of stealing it. Yes, I said STEALING. I specified in
my will who should succeed me and you invalidated my wishes. The
corporation was mine, bought with my money and hard work---and you have
destroyed my life's creation."
Rutherford sneers at this. "Ho ho ho, I see you admit it is YOUR
creation and none of the Lord's doing."
Russell turns defiantly. "The Lord used me as his instrument to prepare
the way for his Kingdom. I prepared people and made certain their
attention was on His coming. I pointed the way like John the Baptist
did...."
"Ha!" Rutherford spits the words out of his mouth along with a sip of
whiskey, "Ha! You published claptrap, nonsense and gobblety-gook. It
was all puffery and nonsense. You were wrong about every thing you were
CERTAIN you were right about. You kept having to change what you were
sure about. If the Lord was working through you he was himself a
bumbling fool."
Russell, aghast, can only shake his head. A chill flows through the
garden and the gazebo begins to move slightly as a breeze catches the
leaves and flowers. Rutherford continues.
"You bought and paid for the best and most convincing charlatans to
produce a dog and pony show of charts, time lines, chronologies and
such. I know why. Do you? You wanted your childhood indoctrination by
your mother to have some truth in it. You knew her fanaticism was
extreme and severe---so--you chose a kinder and gentler Jesus. Your
father's haberdasher business taught you how to organize and get people
to work for you. Mostly, it taught you how to make a business pay off.
Am I wrong so far?"
Russell is shivering in the cold now. He sticks out his lower lip and
reaches for Rutherford's whiskey bottle. The Judge passes it
approvingly to the old Pastor and watches with a fatherly smile as the
old man chokes down a warm glow of Prohibition Booze.
"You didn't know my mother, Joe. She was a pistol. All she talked about
was Hell this and Hell that. She scared sweet Jesus out of me. Scottish
hellfire is the worst.".
Rutherford takes the bottle back and corks it. He pauses to gaze up at
the night sky that looks now like spilled talcum powder on a black
suit. Shaking his head to clear it, he continues in a moderate tone of
assured confidence.
"You built a religion and a Jesus who didn't scare you and who offered
a nice reward without hellfire. You had to convince yourself
first---and you found people with a salesman's glib patter who could
make it sound real. The invisible Jesus who rules now is a real twist
of genius. But, you fumbled it badly, Charley, you really dropped the
ball. You were too confident that your writings were the whispers of
God. You didn't know any more than anybody else did what was going to
happen, when or why. The Great Pyramid gave you a concrete (or should I
say limestone?) example to convince others"
"Oh stifle, Judge. Just stifle."
"Ha! Maria figured you out pretty quick, didn't she? You were not a
husband in the bedroom with her and she was willing to accept that
until she caught you with that young girl---your ward--what was the
name?"
"Shut up! You don't know what you are talking about! That was evil
rumor and nothing more."
"Right, Pastor. Right. And I'm not a drunken Judge either. But, I
digress.....through your mismanagement of Miracle Wheat and showing
yourself to be a phoney scholar on the witness stand who could not read
simple Greek sentences you blew your cachet of authenticity. But, the
faithful few still regarded you as all they had to point their way to
the Promise. Many stayed to see what you'd come up with next. But, you
died. That was callous of you, Charley. You ripped their hearts out and
left them alone with an Unfinished Mystery titled, ironically: The
FINISHED MYSTERY. Ha!"
"Well," the Pastor began, "the Lord saw fit to take me unto him."
"Oh?" Rutherford looked mockingly quizzical. "Is this heaven and am I
the Lord?"
"Well," the Pastor halted. "I ....I just don't know."
Rutherford beamed brightly. "You never did, you old fool! You just
THOUGHT you knew."
The two men slowly rose and walked back into the house out of the night
air. They settle in at the vast kitchen area at the dining table.
Rutherford pours them each a thick shot glass full of rye and they
begin smoking long cigars from Cuba.
Thoughtfully, Russell muses..."Yes, I was convinced the Lord was
speaking directly through me as his mouthpiece. You know what helped me
believe that? Not the failed prophecies and the wrong dates, surely,
but what really made me believe in myself was......the look in the eyes
of the brethren when I met with them and spoke to them face to face.
They looked at me AS THOUGH the Lord were speaking through me. You know
what that feels like to a man like me? IT IS EVERYTHING!" He cooed
wonderingly.
Rutherford snorts dismissively, "Oh I saw that myself. I personally
HATED IT. Those people are idiots. I'd rather do what Machievelli said.
You know what he said? "I'd rather be feared and obeyed than loved."
That is my motto. It works better than your method. I wear a pistol and
I have bodyguards. I have a chauffeur and a flask of whiskey. I turn my
death ray of words on all my enemies. You know who my enemies are? The
big shots with all the fame, glory and money. I put myself right up
there on their level...You know how? I put myself HIGHER MORALLY than
they are. I condemn them! It works, Charley, it works. They fear me and
hate me. I'm hot stuff as a result."
Russell shakes his head and tugs his beard causing the few braids to
fall out. "It's all about you, then, Judge? The Lord is nowhere to be
found?"
Rutherford looks straight into Pastor Russell's watery eyes, "It is all
about POWER! I now have the power to keep people busy and spread the
brand name around and make it worth some real cash. I'm working on a
real brand name to top the current bestseller: CHRISTIAN. You have to
have a brand name, you see, to advertise and promote your goods. I sell
hope and protection against the most fearsome of all adversaries. No,
not Satan, but Jehovah himself!! Jah can whoop Satan's ass in any
barroom brawl and everybody knows it. I want people to fear the LORD
HIMSELF. Then, I present myself as God's best friend and I'll put in a
good word for them IF I approve of the work they are doing on my
behalf."
"Disgusting", Russell frowns and closes his eyes in pain. He rubs his
temples and heaves a long sigh.
"No, it works. My new brand name will be revealed eventually when I
work out the kinks in the theology of it all. It will contain the
divine name, though, I'm sure of that. A real attention getter. For
now, I have to find ways of setting the new brand off from the
competition. You see, our religion has to have not only a brand name,
but, a different quality to it. Our brothers and sisters have to appear
more devoted, faithful and righteous than mainstream Christianity.
We'll get lots of publicity each time they don't salute a flag, don't
say the pledge, don't celebrate a birthday, don't go for Christmas and
Easter or serve in the armed forces. We'll get free publicity
everywhere because.......you know why? Do you? Because people will HATE
US for being so superior! Ha ha ha ha. Why, we'll even be willing to
die for our faithful stand!"
Russell can stand no more. He gets up and pushes the dining chair back
away from the table.
"You have to be stopped, Judge. You are dangerous. You've wrecked
everything I ever stood for. I'm going to stop you."
Rutherford beckons for Russell to follow. They climb the stairs.
Re-entering the bedroom, Rutherford reaches down on the floor and picks
up his pistol. He checks the cylinder to determine how many bullets
remain.
"Pastor Russell, I misjudged you. Which is ironic for a man called
JUDGE, is it not?" Rutherford chuckles out loud having a good laugh,
then continues.
"I buried you and your faithful and wise servant image. I've taken it
upon myself and the other boys who do my bidding. We're in the process
of scuttling the Great Pyramid teachings too. We are replacing your
work with a real campaign of door to door work that will bring
Christendom to its knees. I prefer the time-tested formula of CARROT
AND STICK. Paradise and Heaven are the CARROT and Armageddon is the
STICK. I'll play up one and balance it with the other over and over
again. When the brethren get sluggish or backslide I'll pull out the
stick you used inadvertent: DATE SETTING! That will bring the money
flowing in. When the date comes and goes without anything
happening---well, I'll do what you always did: I'll be humble and show
how eager we were for Christ's promises to come now. I'll even turn it
back on them if they get surly about it. A certain amount of turnover
is to be expected in every business...uhm, I mean, Religion."
Russell, aghast, reaches for the telephone...but, Rutherford points the
pistol at his face and shakes his head from side to side. "I wouldn't
do that, Pastor. You only live once, you know."
Russell decides the Judge is bluffing and picks up the receiver anyway.
"Last chance, Pastor, I mean it. I don't know how you alone came back
to life or why you are here, but, I can't let you stop my success from
happening. I'm a mover and a shaker and things are starting to move.
People will believe ANYTHING you tell them if you put fear behind it."
Russell turns to leave. "I can't listen to any more of this. You are
obviously quite insane."
As Russell reaches the door, the sound of three loud blasts shake the
windows and echo against the wood paneling. Russell's falls to the
floor with a loud thump and groans once, then twice, and a death rattle
brings only silence.
Rutherford watches impassively as the cordite smoke swirls in curlicues
around him. He reaches for the tug cord and summons the help. Perhaps
his chauffeur can lift this old man into a gunny sack and dump him in
the Pacific Ocean before sunrise.
Rutherford takes another long swig on the bottle and lays down upon the
bed to rest for a moment as the sound of footsteps running up the
stairs is heard.
"Sir? Sir? Judge, sir? You rang for me, sir?" The voice wakes
Rutherford from a deep and troubled slumber.
"Huh, the hell you say?" Rutherford's eyes open like a kitten. "What
are you blubbering about?"
"Sir, you summoned me. Did you have another of your nightmare's sir? If
I might caution you sir, that bootleg booze can be quite deadly, you
know. Homemade booze has poisoned many people. It is in the papers.
Really sir, you should be more careful. Wait for the shipment to come
in from Canada."
Rutherford pushes the man away. "Remove the body, will you? Before
sunrise?"
"What body, sir?"

Jehovah's Witnesses - Who are they and what do they believe?
I have Jehovah's Witnesses family in Naples Florida usa who practice
the Watchtower JW enforced ritual shunning that i have not seen or
heard from in 15 years.
The WatchTower Corporation is a media publishing, real estate
development, and convention sponsoring company and their literature all
promotes the corporation and those goals.
UNLIKE in the case of Christians who are persecuted in other lands for
talking about Jesus Christ, Jehovah's Witnesses are largely persecuted
for following the teachings of their corporate headquarters.
When the Watchtower is held accountable for their misdeeds they scream
religious 'persecution'.
The Watchtower corporation pays no municipal taxes on their buildings,
without even one charity to compensate the community.
[ Think! When was the last time you saw a Jehovah's Witness charity of
any kind for the poor? ]
The Watchtower is BIG money, being one of the top 40 New York City
Corporations making nearly one billion dollars a year. That's just from
one of their many corporations.
Jehovah's Witnesses follow the teachings begun during the second
presidency of the Watchtower, when Joseph F. Rutherford took over in a
corporate flap and began changing doctrines quickly in the Watchtower
belief system.
He claimed that angels directly conveyed "truth" to some of those in
leadership. He coined the name "Jehovah's Witnesses" to make them stand
out from being witnesses of Jesus, a typical evangelical expression
(and a Biblical one).
Rutherford dumped holidays, birthdays and the 1874 date for the
invisible return on Christ, and invented an "earthly class" of
Witnesses, since only 144,000 can go to heaven according to their
teaching.
The rest, meaning all 99.9% of Witnesses still alive, will live forever
on a cleansed earth, under the rule of the Watchtower corporate
headquarter leaders in heaven, who will keep them in line by local
elders known as "princes."
If you have been "witnessed to" by Jehovah's Witnesses and you reject
their message, you will likely DIE "shortly" at Armageddon with all the
other non-Witnesses, since theirs is the only true religion, and (if
they can live up to all the rules) they are the only ones to inhabit
this "new earth."
If you believe Witnesses seem rigid now, any non-conformist during the
future "cleansed earth" will be directly destroyed by their god. Even
now a Witness will be disfellowshipped (excommunicated) for any one of
many gaffs, such as smoking, taking a blood transfusion, or even
voting.
To even vocally question the teachings of the Jehovah's Witness
organization will result in complete cutting off, with family and
friends usually being forbidden to talk to them.
The Watchtower is a truly ORWELLIAN world, in a time when Orwellian
societies are nearly obsolete.
