I'm sure Smalley had something to do with it - he was and is a tight-ass. When I was at the house, Aulicino was a maverick who struck me as more liberal.

Colin Quakenbush and David Ianelli
by JWFreak inthese two have consistently been the "liberal" side to the writing dept.....who do you think are the hard liners...that change publications and articles to make them more restrictive.
there are definitely 2 camps in writing at the moment .
the new "keep yourselves in gods love", the original draft was so different to the final book....blood and disfellowshipping weren't even in the original draft.

Bethel: Pathway to Apostasy
by Black Man inat the 'big house' you go either one of two ways, company man or apostate.
i think for many that went, it demystified the whole organization and you saw firsthand that there wasn't holy spirit influencing anything - only the muses of sheltered, out-of-touch old men and political bureaucrats.
i work in the corporate world and i saw just as much if not more politics in bethel.

BETHELITES - Whatever Became of?
by Black Man ini often times wonder what happened to certain bethelites that i ran around with during my 1990s tenure there.
while there are still a few left there, the greater majority of them aren't there for various reasons (marriage, disillusionment, left the borg, etc).
a couple of cats i wonder about - there was one brother who i believe was from kansas, who got his fingers cut off in a printing press.

Confidential Body of Elder Letters from 1981 through 2006
by Elsewhere inhere it is guys.
this is what darth frosty was talking about in his post the other day (http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/149460/1.ashx).
this is a collection of confidential letters from the watchtower society that were sent to the bodies of elders in the years 1981 through 2006. these are the letters that you were never meant to see or read.. there's all sorts of information in them ranging from the boring and mundian to instructions about how to handle child molesters.. many thanks to darth frosty and others (who i'm not sure can be named) who worked very hard and took risks to collect and scan the information.

The God You Love - B*llsh*t
by Black Man inthese 3 bright stars are called today what they were called in ancient times: the three kings.the three kings and the brightest star, sirius, all point to the place of the sunrise on december 25th.
this is also called the "great year," and ancient societies were very aware of this.
the reality is that the golden bull is taurus the bull, and moses represents the new age of aries the ram.
