Black Magic, Nazi Scientists and Nuclear Panic: How We Got to Outer Space

Parsons was a complicated individual. He signed a document stating that he was the Antichrist. He dedicated his spiritual life to summoning the Whore of Babylon, the lustful, beast-riding divinity prophesied in the Book of Revelation, in order that She could claim dominion over the entire world. Parsons was born on 2 October 1914, which happened to be the date that Charles Taze Russell, the founder of the Jehovah’s Witnesses, claimed would usher in Armageddon.

He rejected the name Marvel, in favour of Jack or John, when he was still young. Marvel was the name of his absentee father, whom he had come to hate. Parsons wrote about his desire to “exteriorize [his] Oedipus complex,”..

..The only person Parsons would call “father” was Aleister Crowley, who he both idolized and supported with money earned from his career as a rocket scientist. Parsons would chant Crowley’s Hymn to Pan before rocket tests

Let’s not mislead people into thinking Charles T Russell founded the Jehovah’s witnesses please . It’s not true no matter what the internet says . The modern-day organization of Jehovah’s Witnesses began at the end of the 19th century. At that time, a small group of Bible students who lived near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in the United States, began a systematic analysis of the Bible. They compared the doctrines taught by the churches with what the Bible really teaches. They began publishing what they learned in books, newspapers, and the journal that is now called The Watchtower—Announcing Jehovah’s Kingdom. Among that group of sincere Bible students was a man named Charles Taze Russell. While Russell took the lead in the Bible education work at that time and was the first editor of The Watchtower, he was not the founder of a new religion. The goal of Russell and the other Bible Students, as the group was then known, was to promote the teachings of Jesus Christ and to follow the practices of the first-century Christian congregation. Since Jesus is the Founder of Christianity, we view him as the founder of our organization.—Colossians 1:18-20.

Thank you for the correction. I was in two minds about using this link because there were one or two other points that I thought were questionable. I was intrigued by some of the information on Parsons though so I included it. Maybe I should delete it after all.

I think the stuff on Parsons is very interesting. I just can’t trust it when I find a big lie about the Founding of JWs. Im not saying you should delete it . People can see the correction . Some will still choose to believe that Russell invented the religion.

That's fine. There are many other articles on Parsons on the internet which people can use to corroborate. I'm still thinking about deleting because it dilutes the other bits with its presence..
