...6000 pieces of literature distributed, less than 10 each. I person was reported to have asked for a study.
Let's see. 6,000 pieces of literature at 10 cents each (?) for printing costs comes out to $600 per bible study.

Evolution is a Fact #32 - Sexual Selection
by cofty inwhen i was a telecom engineer there was a particular transistor that we would routinely change on any circuit board we were working on.
it suffered from a condition known as thermal runaway.
a drop in resistance across the collector-base junction caused a rise in current that generated heat which reduces resistance in semiconductors which increases the current even more, creating more heat and so on until the transistor self-destructed.. (for geeks - this is why field-effect transistors became the choice for amps).

If death is a natural occurrence in the human species, why are we born with the innate feeling to continue living indefinitely?
by Tenacious inthere are some people that do in fact want to die.
these people include the mentally unstable, emotionally imbalanced, and those suffering from ailments or diseases, just to name a few.. i've never met however, anyone, or heard of anyone, who is of sound mind, who just awoke one day and thought it would be an excellent day to die......naturally.. your thoughts?.

All animals are afraid of death or tries to preserve themselves.
All animals are intensely afraid of predators but not because they can foresee death; they don't have the consciousness to do so. It is only human consciousness that can foresee death not only by predators but into the future. Animals don't see into the future like we do.

Why is it ok for witnesses to go to Church backed hospitals?
by stuckinarut2 inif witnesses should "get out of babylon the great" then why is it ok to go into hospitals that have been set up, and have funding from churches?.
isnt that a little contradictory or hypocritical?.

CNN: The 80's
by Simon ini've really enjoyed the cnn series on the 60's and 70's - they give you more of the "feel" of how things progressed in each decade than just the raw facts while still providing interesting and entertaining views of history.
each episode typically focuses on development of one aspect such as tv, music or politics and of course includes important world events.. starting on thursday is the next series, this time covering the 80's.
now it's catching up with things i can really remember well directly.. the trailer shows the huge tv event of the decade if not all time - who shot jr. yes kids, who shot mr burns was just a copy of it i'm afraid.. it was broadcast in the uk on tuesday evening.

How many times have the GB been wrong?
by atomant inactually its quite amusing to observe the different reactions from within the org every time theres new light.how dumb does a person have to be to not realize its all a conjob.surely a thinking logical person would question all the changes over the years.lts almost like the blind leading the blind scenario.

The number of contradictions and lies that the Watchtower makes has no impact on the regular JW who's been in for an average of 10 to 20 years since the age of reason.
What counts is a combination of curiosity and a sense of integrity. Without integrity curiosity amounts to nothing since the person's fears (of shunning) predominate.

So... Are they done printing the number of partakers?
by thedepressedsoul induring the wt study yesterday i had a confused look on my face the whole meeting.
more of a, wtf, face.
one paragraph says, "therefore,the number of partakers does not accurately indicate the number of anointed ones left on earth.".

I'm surprised the Watchtower didn't simply fake the numbers in order to show a steady decrease. -

Did you participate in a Drama?
by Hecce ini am bringing this up because even it was a lot of work, for the majority of the friends this was a rewarding experience.
camaraderie, joking, costumes, props and when the time came the celebrity status of being in the drama.. back in the 50s and 60s, conventions could be as long as 8 days and from about 1966 the dramas became an integral part of the program.
we had one per day and the brothers looked forward to their presentation.

No but I did remove makeup and a beard from one of the actors. I knew a sister who applied the makeup on the actors. I also remember that he had facial coloring. I still recall that the skin coloring was "Egyptian brown".
It was fun.
