I occasionally pop through here to catch up on the latest, but this time I'm going to pop my own post on here.
Some of you internet oldsters may even remember this. ;)
My first experience on the internet regarding discussions about Jehovah's Witnesses and the Watchtower took place on a now-obscure usenet group, before I eventually stumbled across Hourglass2.
During those days, there was a poster who went by the name "Prominent Bethelite," an otherwise anonymous individual whom I remember most for an extensive, exhaustive compilation of date-oriented remarks, predictions, and expectations by the Watchtower organization down through the decades of its history.
It became known as "The List" and it's definitely lengthy... but a fascination look at the abundance of errant statements made through the Watchtower's history.
If you're curious, it's been available for a long time on Hourglass2's site, and can be seen using the link provided below.
The List, compiled by Prominent Bethelite (1999)
That's about it for this stop through here. As for Hourglass2, yes, it's still around, although I've never figured out how to get the massive array of pre-2000 posts (I have 6 CDs filled with the H2O's archives, which, unfortunately, are in wwwboard format) up online for those who might be interested in the debates and discussions that were going on in those days. The board itself has never experienced a resurgence of any sort, and goes through stages of its own with the discussions, but that's fine, too. Sometimes, it's about the nostalgia. Sometimes, it's about a quiet room where you can hear yourself think.
Anyhoo, thank you for your time.
