  The child might as well been an infant or toddler when transfused. No point in emphasizing that.

  By the way, welcome to the forum.

  oh my word it is full of fear inducing tactics....doom and gloom outlooks.... anxiety inducing methods to develop absolute control over witnesses and cripple them in any attempt to think for themselves!.

  (notice i am saying "themselves" rather than "ourselves"?!

  Searcher, they're most likely alluding to a basement at some private residency. Kind of like the old book studies.

  One of the women is wearing slacksbut then they're all informally dressed.

  One of the men shaves his head. Is that allowed? Or maybe he's just naturally bald.

  It's getting late for me. I better get some sleep. But then I might dream of this.

  "New KH’s will have big screen TV’s where the yearly text goes, the sound will have video, internet and a computer monitor."

  So will they be taking these big screens into the basement during the Great Tribulation?

  i have seen a few here on this forum.

  i just came across on in a book i'm reading that i thought i would share with you, appropriate to the forum.. "men think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one".

  charles mackay in extraordinary popular delusions and the madness of crowds (1841).

  I worry that no matter how cynical you become,

  it’s never enough to keep up.

  Bitchtower: "When Gog begins the assault..."

  Could someone fill me in as to whom Gog refers to currently? They keep changing it.

  Could you provide some direct quotes from the article or a link?

  One thing's for sure, if the Witnesses ever get into a situation where they are being persecuted by a government the Governing Body will be the first to throw them under the bus.

  Someone who's psychotic may have put that up. Seriously. Either that or a scam artist.
