The God Pill
Well-known member
A thread for us to share personal experiences/gratitude/benefits from our first times reading Jehovah has Become King, it's clarification on the organization and prophecy as well as the remainder of Robert's output.
I listen a couple of times to the audio version for a particular chapter. I often get distracted or interrupted and so that is why I listen more than once and then I read the Chapter and that is the way that I get the most information from it.I like the audio version.
They did a fine service for Jehovah and that's a good chunk of the 🌎 population that can read in their native languages. 👏I appreciate the fact that a few ambitious persons have translated the info into other languages - Spanish, French, Dutch, Slovak, and part Polish. If anyone is inclined please share it with others. I do not receive royalties for the Amazon version and of course, the online version is free. It is still an unfinished work, obviously. That is why I called it a primer for the Apocalypse. But one thing is for sure, we are closer now than when the final edition was published 6 years ago.
Nice revision. Thank you.Let's at least provide a link for new visitors Jehovah Has Become King
I love your graphics.I forgot about this little promo video
You said it. It was a huge eye-opener for me as well but it's not a book I can openly encourage to other witnesses...for obvious reasons. That's the true tragedy of it. Only when you sense a curiosity for real prophetic truth, a rejection of the cult mentality...by witnesses, can you then attempt to share it.This thread, being an "appreciation thread", I am going to post my appreciation here, and I will start a new thread with my comments when I have digested the book completely. I am now beginning ch. 22.
I have enormous appreciation for this work. It is beyond words for me to say how much I have needed to hear this.
I agree with the assertion in chapter 20 that this is irrefutable documentation.
The reader who has arrived at this point in this publication has been presented with what this author considers to be irrefutable documentation of the Watchtower’s considerable error in interpretation as regards the nature of the day of Jehovah. Not only that, but far worse than doctrinal and interpretive error, the Society is guilty of faithlessly violating the most basic tenets of Christianity.
The following paragraph in the preface is the sort of humility and devotion that every follower of Christ and Lover of Jehovah should have, in my opinion.
Although I do not consider myself to be a writer and am certainly no Bible scholar in the classic sense; possessing no academic credentials of any kind of which to boast; unfortunately, now no longer even having any plaudits within the organization of Jehovah’s Witnesses with which to recommend myself—I am, nonetheless, compelled by a conviction that I do have something profoundly important to say; and therefore, I believe, an obligation before God to at least try and convey it—Jehovah be my judge.
Without exaggeration I have been starving for discernment for decades to understand how so much of the old testament prophecy might apply to today, as much as it did so long ago. This book shows that and more, in fact at times showing that prophesy fulfilled then actually has even greater application to now.
This book is a gift to the world, and most of them will hate you for it.
Not specifically. But it is interesting to pursue Watchtower issues through the years and note the difference in the style and message over the past 100 years.@Watchman You've mentioned the societies publications peaking in the 60's are there any you would recommend checking out?
I can see that. Most books I read are from the 80's on. I have a few Russell and Rutherford era books but I get worried I'd damage them if I were to open them. Any observations on strengths our people and publications had at different times? I liked the renewed emphasis in the late 80's-early 90's on getting through to people on the error of the Trinity doctrine.Not specifically.

My favorite, because I came up with it, if we are created in God's image, or as Genesis puts it, "let us create them in our image" so if there is a "Trinity" why is it if you have a split personality you are considered to have a mental disorder? Wouldn't that mean that all us "normal" people are crazy" and the "crazy" people are sane...whole new meaning to "broad and spacious, and narrow!"getting through to people on the error of the Trinity doctrine.
