  The Rolling Stones now share their credits for "Anybody Seen My Baby?" with k.d. lang, and in 2000, a court determined that The Rolling Stones had "improperly borrowed" two of Robert Johnson's songs, "Love in Vain" and "Stop Breakin' Down". Keith Richards was nonplussed: "There's only one song in the world," he said, "and Adam and Eve wrote it."

  As for the Watchower, its their business is to steal ideas from Christian books and authors. And not just ancient authors either: Its surprising to read them quoting J.I. Packer (a Christian minister - last I heard he was in Vancover) author of "Knowing God" and lots more. They would criticise the rank and file for reading Christian stuff, but do it themselves. Of course, if the Rank and file read Christian books theywould quickly spot the plagiarism.

  ...this tells me a lot about the way the Governing Body works. They lead their members to believe that they are receiving their information directly from God himself, via holy spirit. But in reality, they're just borrowing material...

  Amen.

  The Youtube video is now totally gone!

  Why would someone put Lett's talk up on Youtube, and then remove it?

  Was it embarrassing?

  Remember, these governing body guys are the finest specimens of the anointed, so superfine in fact that they have been chosen to represent the over 12,000 anointed in conducting the affairs of the organization. So don't be mocking this faithful brother just because he seems to be as dumb as a brick. That is merely Theocratic Warfare TM crafted to disarm opposers and apostates.

  Those expressions brought back memories when I was in Bethel from 1996-2005.

  Of course he did, all religions pretend to dislike and disapprove each other but they are all compatriots in the same business. Just take a look at the world congress of religions, where all the religious leaders discuss stuff and then hug and kiss. Even the supposed enemies the pope and Ayatollahs are friends. Pope John Paul II even kissed the Koran during a visit. When you realise they are basically the same thing with their own bells and whistles it becomes obvious why they the share many different things, with ideas or symbology being a small chunk.
