  Sparlock Toy

  i wasn't around when the sparlock thing hit about 11 years ago, but it became such a meme that that debacle still gets mentioned from time to time.

  one thing that came up in conversations of the time was about how dumb the name was; that someone in bethel could have come up with a less lame name.

  i think that that bethelite was trying to be clever by using "warlock" as the stem and dropping the "w".

  To be fair it's a clever name. Sparlock is specifically called a "warrior wizard", (fight=spar), spar+warlock.

  I think they used Ulysses Glass for Acts, but the rest of the Bible was divided among two men, one American and one British. They had unique voices and were in dramas from the 70s but none of the few they still have online, and I don't recall hearing them past the 70s. I wonder if they were part of the apostasy purge, or if they just randomly died or went into seclusion during the 80s.

  Respectful Observer - are you Rick Fearon?

  Yes. You'll notice he mentions Massachusetts in a couple of his past posts.

  Conscience Issues

  by NotFormer in

  1. watchtower

  thought inspired by my post on tattoos: within the watchtower organisation, how many "conscience issues" actually are?

  are people who actually do exercise their consciences in grey areas painting a target on their backs for the more hard-line dubs?

  are they quietly avoided because " bad associations spoil useful habits"?

  note: photos can be found on the blue envelope channelhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nakezkhqbmtony and susan morris are living in lumberton, north carolina.

  a real estate document on the robeson county website is filed:.

  the religious order of jehovah's witnesses has provided a "life estate" for them.they can live in this townhouse until they are deceased or choose to move away and in either case the ownership becomes entirely the property of jehovah's witnesses.

  I imagine his local congregation will know his home so won't stop by except to use the bathroom out in service.

  Agreed, their prices are not at all competitive and provide less customer protection than easier methods such as eBay. There's absolutely no benefit to order from them other than the novelty of owning Bethel-used items.

  You mean the stuff about near-identical worldwide legends, worldwide pyramids, worldwide festivals for the dead around that time of year, quick frozen animals, drastic polar temperature shifts and evidence of traumatic geologic disruption? Yes im sure this material is used in different ways.

  Dinah wasn't the only daughter, the others just weren't talked about because they weren't future heads of the tribes. Dinah was the exception because of the story that went along with her.
