Description

Fear of the apocalypse that never comes! It is what holds a Jehovah’s Witness power-bound by the Watch Tower Society in Brooklyn. Armageddon is all the time just a bit way around the corner.

Poul Bregninge in this, his second book on the Witnesses, presents a complete history and ideology of the Society and why it keeps a keen focus on the Day of Judgment. He tells of more than one “days of reckoning” that pass uneventfully and how each failure of Christ to reappear is reevaluated by the Society to foretell of yet another apocalypse still to come. It’s the fear of that moment that keeps Witnesses firmly in the fold. Judgment Day is the carrot dangled before them.

Every American knows the Jehovah’s Witnesses, right? Those somber people who appear at our doors, offering literature and the everlasting salvation of our souls? What do we know about them? We see at our door their facades-their Society-devised disguises-directed to convert anyone willing to follow their Witness-ways of believing and living. In this book you’ll confront the thinking that motivates those beliefs.

Poul’s book is a comprehensive view of JW history, its upheavals and struggles, and a raw demonstration of the manipulation and cruelty dealt those it charges with expanding its membership. By keeping Judgment Day ever coming, the Watch Tower Society ensures a able supply of workers to proclaim the ever-coming coming.

The creator dismantles their main biblical storage battery, Matthew 24, from which the movement takes their many “signs” of the impending end. His reinterpretation of these readings is a virtual bomb beneath the understanding they find in those key biblical texts.

Poul Bregninge was once born and at the moment lives in Copenhagen. He was once raised a Witness but informally left the movement in 1959. In 1964 he published several letters, articles, and features about the Society that the Witnesses deemed unacceptable. A three-man committee expelled Poul. Two years later he published his first book, Jehovas Vidner under anklage (Jehovah’s Witnesses Accused) in Danish. This book, Judgment Day Will have to Wait, is a massive reworking (two and one half times its size) of his first book, now propelled by many years of continuing investigation that brings the history to the present in a text edited for the American reader.
