you've seen or heard about the ripley's believe it or not museums, where different weird & wacky items are displayed from human culture.
let's compile a list of the weird & wacky items from the jw religion that would make a great jw believe it or not museum.
maybe the wts could open one up it's own historical museum in brooklyn to make some big money.
How about all of the books I studied over the years, in depth, that have now become repudiated "Old Light"?
All of that superfluous "knowledge" I absorbed. We could include the Sandwich Boards I wore for the DC at the Rosebowl in like 63' or 64'. I recall they had a tiny one for me to wear (I was like 4 or 5).
I'm glad no photos have circulated of that ignominious start.
here is the thing.
the gb is playing this up.
they are feeding the hopes of millions about changes to come.
The captain called a halt that night
And we had chow by the pale moonlight.
A lovely dinner they planned for us
With a taste like a seat on a crosstown bus.
Some of the veterans left theirs in the cans
For the Viet Cong to find. . .
Deadlier than a land mine.
im just thinking outloud and, of course, you are welcome to think aloud with me.. (1) there are the metrics used in the yearbook totals.
the average publisher count measures only those who reported time.
likely, most of those who attend the memorial are those inactive or somehow associated in some way, shape, or form.. (2) there is meeting attendance.
By height.
altho the neighborhood seems too upscale for witnesses, i was passing time before a medical appointment, reading old fashion magazines.
a leaflet fell on my lap.
one would have no clue that it is the wt people.
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.
wow.
you read about it here.
but, it still doesn't prepare you.. our hall passed a resolution to give about 15,000 to the wt.
Don't you think it's a bit inappropriate for you to question the motives or the machinations of these "Glorious Ones"?
I mean really.
heh heh
today on my morning run i saw two sets of jw's going door to door on boston st. one set was two ladies and the other was two guys.
after i has passed them up on the sidewalk i turned around and began walking towards them.
the ladies turned to go up to another home just before i got to them but the guys were still approaching.
The diagram is interesting because it mixes actual/physical times w/ symbolic times.
If you're going to mix them, you can technically prove just about anything. They are saying that the 3.5 years (42 months/1,260 days) is literal but the 3.5 days is figurative/symbolic ("antitypical", heh heh).
What I would like to see is some scriptural proof of their position. This doesn't add-up, arithmetically. However, I can imagine peeps at the meeting, nodding their collective heads in assured affirmation.

The spirit of Malcolm Tucker Lives!

i was talking to an ex-bethelite who was at the 'big house' in the late 60s and early 70s and he mentioned that daniel sydlik was exiled (asked to leave bethel) for a couple years when he married his wife (who at the time was very young and very much his junior).
according to this ex-bethelite, his marriage was somewhat controversial and they didn't want it to stumble anyone at the time, so he still stayed in the nyc area, but just not in bethel?
of course, this was when they had the corporation director format and before they officially adopted the governing body structure.
Her pic in another thread:
dad: my son, you look like you are writing down something very important.
are you studying the watchtower?.
caleb: no, im just writing down some numbers and names in this notebook.. dad: what numbers and names, my son?.
I'm still laughing.
Very cool.
scare tactics and manipulation in the nov 2014 watchtower .. low down dirty rotten charlatans.
We need to work on a spoof of the Doomsday Prepper's Handbook. Substitute "GT" for "Doomsday" and have boxes of literature in lieu of food and fuel.
