RockHound: "Why are you looking forward to 1975?" (W.T. pg.494 Aug. 15 1968)…Now it is firmly maintained that by the autumn of the year 1975 thebattle of Armageddon will have been fought and God’s new world will have been established."
That is an interesting and incriminating quotation. However, I just checked my CD and cannot find anything close to that in the Aug 15 issue (or anywhere in the entire collection of Watchtowers).
Can you please double-check your source and verify it for us?

i am an "active" jw.
i serve.
give talks.
Apocolypse and WannaExit,
Beautiful plan, yours. Twenty-nine years ago I now can only wish I had thought of that strategy. Instead two of my sons and their families must shun me.
Working from the inside takes courage and caution and it appears the both of you are teaming well toward your goal.
I wish you the very best and that I could one day meet you both at one of our fests. My first was only months ago in Dallas and I found it very uplifting.
However, that is selfishness on my part since your anonymity is of utmost importance. Stick to it.

that of karr!!!
(in jonbenet ramsey case) now what do they do???
apparently, they just got report out of colorado.... swalker
BTTT
Geez the brothers better get on their suits and get to the prison and witness to him, they need good liars and pedophiles in the org.........better not let this one get away
I don't think so. They'll believe his testimony before they believe the DNA evidence. Recall, they are certified (their own words) scoffers of DNA evidence in court cases. Based on his personal testimony, they'd put him on trial.

ha!
you knew i was joking, of course.

I, like any American, is proud of Andre Agassi for his ageless performance at the top of the tennis world for so many years. I was proud of the crowd’s standing ovation moments ago at the close of his last appearance at the 2006 Open.
However, when ageless wonders of tennis are discussed you simply cannot omit mention of ’s Ken Rosewall. He had six more appearances in Grand Slam finals than Andre – nine more in Slam semi-finals.
The following (condensed by me) tables, thanks to http://www.tennis28.com/slams/agerecords_finalists.html

Outstanding piece of artwork, V. Thanks for sharing.

a thought i had daydreaming while at the recent convention .
old timers in the organization often reminisce about the way the wts was many years ago.
attending a convention meant (a) getting hot meals, (b) orchestra music before and during sessions, and (c) two, three, or even four dramas.
I agree with your premise, NotBlind. I believe it is a reflection of modern industry's LEAN initiative. Though retired now, I was on our company's LEAN team toward the end of my days there, and enjoyed that work. Doing away with all the unnecessaries, the redundancies, etc. At times we, too, went too far.
The way it sounds, the Society went too far with abandonment of the more social type work that people enjoyed. Recently they laid off a bunch at Bethel headquarters. Perhaps this upcoming October program will be another in their series of LEANing things up.
The Borg is trying to tack new shingles on a building that was constructed in the 9th ward of New Orleans.

i was raised a jw, third generation.
grampa was a congregation servant and then elder, my dad was an elder for years.
i made it up the ranks fast, you were not anybody if you did not become an elder, i was appointed at an early age.
Here's an Arkansas Howdy to you.
I have no idea where you came up with your handle but, as a boy, I used to listen to Sky King on radio as my friend and I played checkers while sprawled on the living room rug.

i just emailed the following to the editorial department of nature, the magazine.
a religious magazine, watchtower, 1998 6/15 p. 28, in their article true justice -- when and how?, quoted your journal nature in order to shore up their lack of support of the use of dna in courts of law.
moreover, the magazine nature notes that not all scientists agree on the interpretation of forensic evidence.

BadBoy: I forgot to mention I subscribe to this magazine.
I'm assuming you are talking about Nature. Is that correct? If so, can you do us all a favor? Only subscribers are allowed to open their articles. That's the reason I was only allowed to view (and copy) the directly adjacent context of those two quotations. Oh, I could've paid $30 for each but I'm on a fixed income.
It would be good if you, or some other subscriber to Nature, would be kind enough to copy and paste more surrounding context than what I posted earlier.
In case you need it, their site is here: http://www.nature.com/index.html
