Many of their beliefs are similar to Armstrongism, plus they share a strong paranoia, although this doesn't stop them knocking on peoples doors.<br /><br />I have talked to some friends who's families are JW and from what they have told me they believe so much of what Herbie did, including the coming end of the world.......which still hasn't come.<br /><br />Seems like one of the big differences is that they are more Jesus focused and go to church on Sunday, and don't keep the Jewish holydays.<br /><br />Now what is their secret -- a weird religion that seems to survive through the centuries?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-74740706341884497132013-10-20T05:29:42.160-07:002013-10-20T05:29:42.160-07:00This guy's the mayor of Crazytown Bananapants!...This guy's the mayor of Crazytown Bananapants!

While there, amongst the exhibits, I saw a tented pavillion with a sign over it that read: "Stinkin' Jesus Freaks". The staff was there so troubled people at the show could receive prayers and encouragement. This too was certainly vintage, but of a different type! I immediately thought of Pastor Chuck Smith who more or less started the Jesus Freak movement amongst the counter culture of the 1960s, and when I returned to my house and Googled him, learned that he had died within the past week. The Jesus Freaks morphed into Calvary Church, which was and is absolutely huge in scope and influence today. They're the guys who take over and renovate old strip malls to use them as their churches.<br /><br />What a contrast with the way the Armstrong movement has just pfffittzed away! Of course, there were a scandal or two along the way in the Calvary movement as well, but they handled them with far greater integrity. They, and the groups they have spawned such as Harvest Ministries and The Vineyard have enjoyed the influence and growth to which the Armstrong movement always aspired, but never quite attained.<br /><br />Calvary is also where several major Christian trends had their genesis, such as worship in casual clothing, and contemporary guitars and drums replacing organ music in the services. They also taught mainstream Christian laypeople to deeply study their Bibles, which is one of the things HWA always critiqued mainstream Christians for not doing.<br /><br />Years ago, while living in California, I had known and interacted with some of these people, but, sadly, because of all the things that had happened to us in Armstrongism, I secretly held them in contempt, tarring and feathering them with the same brush. I would even bet that some of them prayed for me. I just wish now that I could meet up with some of them and share the later parts of my journey. <br /><br />BB<br />Byker Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15602697337552385535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-75187055551317783102013-10-19T15:51:38.380-07:002013-10-19T15:51:38.380-07:00Byker Bob said, "If someone hearing HWA/GTA i...Byker Bob said, "If someone hearing HWA/GTA in their full potential back in the 1950s and 60s had been able to miraculously fast forward through 1972-75, through 1986, and 1995 to witness this, they would be astonished at the total diminishment in power of the movement.
