  fidel castro just temporarily gave up his power to his brother, raul castro.

  he is going to have abdominal surgery and gave up his power to his brother for the duration of his illness.

  i am sure there will be more to follow on the newswires.

  Could we have stumbled onto the reason behind the higher education thing ?

  by Forscher in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in the mid 1990s the wtbts backed-off just a little bit on its stance about higher education publically while it was still discouraged unofficially.

  now, all of a sudden they are publically clamping back down.

  and coincidentally they are clamping back down just as ben schroeder was entering his final year or years at columbia law school.

  Russell on "new light."

  by Forscher in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in view of the recent threads about "new light", i thought you might like to see the gem recently posted by rr144 on his the forum he administers: .

  "if we were following a man undoubtedly it would be different with us; undoubtedly one human idea would contradict another and that which was light one or two or six years ago would be regarded as darkness now: but with god there is no variableness, neither shadow of turning, and so it is with truth; any knowledge or light coming from god must be like its author.

  a new view of truth never can contradict a former truth.

  A thought on Quotes and the copyright thing.

  by Forscher in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i downloaded and reviewed the contents of the zip file that was thoughtfully provided of the content of quotes' sight.

  i am not a lawyer, however in college i did take a number of law courses, so i'll give you my take on the situation.

  it looks to me like the wtbts did have quotes dead to rights on that one.
