Hermit crabs and creation
by gringojj inhi guys its been a long time since i have posted.. anyway i was on vacation this past week at the beach and came across a hermit crab that had lost its shell.
i started thinking about the creation and intelligent design theory and though what a horrible design if it was created.
the hermit crab cannot survive without findind the shell of a dead snail to protect it.

Kingdom Hall Mortgages....Interesting Info
by gringojj inhey guys its been a long time since i have posted but there was something i wanted to share that i had found and get peoples opinion.. in massachusetts south worcester county you can search real estate transactions from the past 40 years on a website called www.masslandrecords.com.. i was checking the history on the property at 700 worcester st southbridge , mass in worcester county which is the location of the kingdom hall.. it looks like from the records that the hall was first mortgaged back in the 60's by the wbts and then again in the early 80's by the wbts but then in the later 80's by mechanics bank which became bank boston.
that all makes sense.. the curious part is that in the 90's it looks like they expanded the property with the owners of the property being the southbridge kingdom hall corp but the mortgage of 60,000 was held by a member of the congregation.
i did a little more digging and it looks like this wealthy congregation member actually did a few mortgages over the years for other cong members for thier own houses.. has anyone ever heard of a cong member mortgaging a kingdom hall or other members?.

Fulfillment of prophecy, where are we?
by gringojj inmy wife ran into a witness yesterday and he told her that they are waiting for one more thing to happen, the governments to attack religion, and when that happens it will be too late for her to get into the new system.
i guess he was trying to scare her back to the meetings.. so my wife wants to know what are the prophecies that have been fulfilled according to the wts.
can anyone list them or link me to a post that addresses this?
