rutherford began the millions campaign in 1918. new light suggests that he was obviously talking about babies who were born that year and now, in 2014 they would only be 96 years old.. .
i was looking through a census bureau report on people aged 90+ in the united states 2006-2008, with projections to the year 2050. according to the chart provided there are about 2 million people just in the united states that are over 90 years old.
we could conservatively cut that number in half to reach the 96 year-olds and then add in the rest of the world's figures.. .
There was more to the talk than just the title, so there is no way to reinvent the message of the campaign to stop him looking like a nutter.

do you like it?.
I longer eat processed foods. When I did, I tried TVP and wasn't impressed with the texture or the flavour.
Eventually, I figuered that it didn't add up that something so highly processed could be better for us than what our ancestors ate as they evolved into what we are today.

one of my best friend's, who is an ex elder had two elders visit him at his home yesterday to invite him to the memorial.
he was cordial to them because they were'nt over the top.. so far, i have had no invites, thank god..
Everyone in my street has been invited except me.
so... i'm writing because i have mixed feelings.
keeping my kids safe is my goal... until they are old enough to understand and reason on their own.
my mother gave me the tapes (that i gave her back in december) of combating mind control by steven hassan, saying that she didn't have a tape player... reminded me of three years ago when i gave her crisis of conscience by ray franz and she said it's to big book to read and she's not a reader.
Apologies to LisaRose, but her advice could cost you your relationship with your children forever.
I wish garybuss was still around to put you straight on that one. Best to learn from other people's mistakes than your own.
His advice, after making this mistake, went something like this .... Never leave your kids alone with a practicing, preaching JW. Last I remember hearing is that his kids still shun him.
I thought it was because he was showing off by killing fig trees, which steals from widows and travellers, and killing thousands of pigs, which wrecks the local economies.

If you don't teach your children critical thinking ability and how to use it even when they don't want to, or are being manipulated into not using it by someone they respect (that includes you), then they will never be completely safe in unsupervised contact with any high control cult member, including the ones you haven't considered a risk yet.
this ties in with my previous post on the history of jws and pyramids, tied to the occult!
check it out.... .
this is the latest cover of the awake, can you spot the pyramid?.
I wonder if some posters are the Writing Department using EXJW forums to create their stereotypical Apostates.

i was reading brant jones' experience (published on jwfacts.com).
i read both letters: the one he wrote to the gb and the one he recieved from them.

Phizzy, they didn't even claim it happened.
They want the reader to arrive at that conclusion without them having to make the claim (because it would be a lie), and without providing evidence for it (because there isn't any). They have pulled out one of their favorite tricks of not lying, but not telling the truth, worded in a way to fool the reader into believing something the author doesn't believe himself and never actually said.
