ok, i'm not one for conspiracy theories but lately i've uncovered some interesting facts that i think warrant some attention.. first of all, russell was a freemason.
all the early watchtower and books he authored have freemason symbology and art throughout them.
not a big deal i thought, until i read more about freemasons and the so-called "illuminati", a group of 13 families that supposedly control the world.. supposedly these 13 families, such as the duponts, mcdonalds, kennedys, .
Yes, this topic has been covered before. Ray wrote a letter to me in August 24, 1999
The following is a direct quote from Ray Franz, "My parents were affiliated with the watch Tower organization from about 1913 onward and Charles Taze Russell was still alive in 1913 and the president at that time...There was no evidence whatsoever of any influence from freemasonry by any of us, not has there been since, including the fifteen years I spent at the brooklyn headquarters, nine of these years spent on the governing body."

An interesting topic. Why doesn't someone do some research as to why and what occurred when the white man first landed on the shores of North America? Who's history books or information is more accurate in telling the true story? The White man or the Red man?
Historian Robert M. Utley has some interesting material on this subject. Another source is "Exiled In The Land Of The Free" by Oren Lyons, John Mohawk, Vine Deloria,Jr. Donald Grinde, Jr. etc. Foreword by Peter Mathiessen Preface by Senator Daniel K. Inouye.

i've dabbled in this on & off for the past 15 or 20 years.
and i've found that many of the central concepts of deism are well aligned with my own thinking on the nature of the supreme being.
webster's defines a deist as "one who believes in the existence of a god or supreme being but denies revealed religion, basing his belief on the light of nature and reason.
My understanding of deism is that God does not interfere or meddle in human affairs. I am a strong believer in a Creator. I don't want anyone to waste their time convincing me otherwise, nor will I waste my time trying to convince them of a Creator.

every two years my home town has local elections.
this past week-end was my second attempt, and for the second time my number of votes wasn't sufficient enough to be a councilperson.
one must contend against a strong influential group (kc) that controls who gets in office or not.
exjdub, I can only answer your question to my experience. First, my town consists of families and relatives. Interestingly, the amount of votes I did receive was very much the same as the previous election. Mind you, the voter turn out wasn't that great. My first attempt was just an experiment, a feeler. The second attempt was based on helping the community. My plans and agenda was set-up and I kept it confidential.
What does running entail? You better be ready for criticism and dirty pool. You need to be a thick skinned person to weather the criticism.
Would I run again? I really can't answer that question. I presently have plans with my younger son playing professional golf. I've been teaching him since the age of five, it's a demanding job.
What didn't I like? Unnecessary criticism of other candidates. I mean nasty and very disrespectful comments. There was a lot of unsigned letters floating around the community and it was uncalled for.
Sixofnine, A sting? Not really, if anything I was relieved. Yes, I was willing to give of myself and I had an agenda that would benefit the community. I still do, but it's limited.
Carmel, yes, I agree with your comments. I've always contributed my time to others. Running for counsel was an extension of my contribution.
Please, please do not feel sorry for me. In the summary of my golf book (ABC's of Golf) I said, " Patience, determination, a positive outlook and a stick-to-it-attitude will take you down the road to success. Believe in yourself. If you're doing your best, you'll never have time to think of failure. No failure is ever final...nor is success!"
Thanks for your comments.

My view of running for council is best summed up by Theodore Roosevelt; "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end triumph of high achievement; and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails without daring greatly; SO THAT HIS PLACE SHALL NEVER BE WITH THOSE COLD AND TIMID SOULS WHO KNOW NEITHER VICTORY NOR DEFEAT."

goodbye for now.... .
at the outset, i would like thank simon for this site.
it is truly a great place for xjws to hang out and discuss topics that interest us.
The Chi, what ever happened to choices? I fail to see how Simon's choice of presidential candidates would influence your disassociation from this forum. Isn't this kind of childish on your part?
