I was looking for Thy Kingdom Come to show my family about Russell's Pyramidology.
A sister in my city had an ad online for them, but it was the BS's reprints - to which I explained to her their source. She seemed disbelieving that they reprint the books (She also had originals, but wasn't selling them).
Question for Jacqueline, what do the current BS's think of 1914 and Pyramidology?
If the “mountains of Israel” apply to the Jehovah’s Witnesses and the kingdom, in what sense had it been “a continual waste?”
In every sense, waste of time, waste of paper, waste of life.

Interesting history.
in just a few weeks, this year will end and a new one begins.
nothing special, just 2006.. but when you analyse the jw doctrine, it is another nail in their already 91 nail studded coffin.
the watchtower has for decades taught that jesus' presence and rulership began in 1914. since changing the generation of 1914 doctrine, a whole decade has passed, with little in the way of anything new.
WOW. WOW. WOW.
truthseeker nailed EVERY SINGLE POINT.
UNBELIEVABLE.
Bobcat.
I have often pondered those verses about Diotrophes.
How did he have such authority?
Why did John not arrange for his expulsion?
well it will be 100 yrs for jehovah's witnesses on 10/2/2014 12pm est.
will armagedon happen?
100yrs is a very long generation, two or three.
Tick-tock.
okay, russell based his measurements of the pyramid chambers using inches to determine 1914.. however, what if we used egyptian measurements?.
duh!.

as a kid, my fave band was bto (bachman turner overdrive).
randy bachman (a somewhat devout mormon) was the driving force.
randy had separated from the guess who (american woman, these eyes, no sugar tonight).
Thanks for the reference, Clint (my top 2 actors - Gran Torino - powerful).
What I appreciate about Randy is that his HEART is in his music.
I have listened and watched so many musicians who have talent, but no SOUL.
Randy had/has SOUL.
(Currently listening to Kings of Leon / Temple (Seriously good album.) )

Bad Company - That's a cassette from my youth.
one thing i've noticed growing up as a jehovah's witness is the insane amount of people that measure their worth and the worth of others according to 'spiritual' activties.
to be fair, there are some sincere people that just want to work for a good cause.
but i can't even have a conversation with some people without them talking about something religious.
Your point is well taken.
The Borg pushes all self-worth to be measured by the amount of measurable spiritual activities (Despite the seldom mentioned "Jehovah sees your effort").
It is like most orgs, "What have you done for us lately?"
