That's it.
If you are going to make extravagant claims,
at least have the respectability to back up your claims with sources / documents that we can look up.
Thanks.

Also, badboy, I've noticed that whenever you post these things, you seem to think that its "good news". But it is the farthest thing from good news. Witnesses are victims. All of them, from the publishers all the way up to the Governing Body members, are victims of a dogmatic system created by Judge Rutherford, under Satanic influence.
To discover something that discredits them or proves them to be nothing more than a cult...well that's a sad thing, because the level of mind-control that is employed among them is so strong that the individual members will never see these evidences for what they are, which is why they will continue to be victims.

Have been looking for references to ERA, recall reading about it somewhere, somethng to do with radio waves.
But found these so far that made me laugh.
From the Golden Age forerunner of the "Awake!"
"Air baths are good for preventing colds.. What you do is strip naked mornings and evenings and then bob up and down for a while." {GA Feb 10 1926 310}
"current agitation over birth control [is evidence that] the 'New Age' is at hand." {GA Apr 7 1926 423}
"Appendicitis: Take one ounce each of elder blossom, peppermint and yarrow and simmer in three pints of water .. take a wineglassful every fifteen minutes.. Do not be afraid of the perspiration caused, or if you vomit. You will be better off with an empty stomach." {GA Dec 19 1934 187}
"Negative Gravitation.. new discovery .. radiant energy .. radio-activity .. Many have wondered how accidents would be avoided during Christ's kingdom, since we are told that nothing shall then hurt or destroy. Most accidents are due to gravitation and its effects. Falling from airplanes.. may be avoided by an individual negative gravity device. Scientists tell us that there is enough atomic energy in a finger-nail to propel a battleship. The people of the future may carry a little of this energy around with them, and if they fall down an elevator shaft they can let themselves down easy. Then they can turn a little more on and go back up.. No danger of falling down stairs then." {GA Mar 24 1926 404}

The ERA was a "fringe pseudoscience" (not even legitimate pseudoscience) gadget that was promoted within the walls of Bethel during the time period badboy mentioned. It was not really similar to the OUIJA board in any way, but one Brother Goodrich took extreme exception to it. Goodrich had been a science teacher and could easily see that the gadget was crap. He wrote a couple of articles for The Golden Age in which he compared the ERA to a Ouija board and said that it was demonic.
Eventually the ERA was completely debunked and faded into obscurity along with the WTB&TS mucky mucks (including Rutherford) who supported it.
Goodrich was a Bible Student from the "old school" and was convinced that the WTB&TS had lost its way. He eventually formed his own group. He was a very interesting character, one of the many of whom the WTB&TS will tell you nothing.
