I did sleep well after. Thanks for asking. I am too tired working days, sending my daughter off to school early before work, and dealing with the ex wife's JW antics to get too shaken up. I appreciate the site on the clock as I hadn't gotten a chance to dig it up. Funny how it would never occur to her to look any of this up. The clock was THREE minutes to midnight in 1984 during the Cold War. Not that it matters much to JWs. They take what they want from secular sources and ignore the rest. I remember as a kid worrying about that clock. The dubs (and my Mom evidently) would talk about it as proof the end was "at hand". And that is what my Mom was driving at this morning.

I thought that there might have been an emergency...OK I used to work nights but still, I don't anymore. Oh well...anybody remember the JW fascination with that clock? I don't think they ever really got the point of why that thing was setup to begin with.

Got the new WT Video last night....so we edited it :) ENJOY
by iblowmynoseatyou inthe new video "pursue goals that honor god" was given to me last night at the hall.
it encourages young people to pursue spiritual goals, and not waste their time on foolish endeavors such as riches or education.
well, at least it used to have that message, until we had our way with it :) .

45 lbs in eleven months, almost a pound a week. Walking did the trick here, and of course portion control, all the standard advice, but no extremes. Good luck.

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.

John 19:14, a devastating contradiction?
by DT inmatthew, mark and luke claim that jesus died on passover (nisan 14) john, however, claims that jesus died on the day of preparation for passover (nisan 13) "now it was preparation of the passover" -john 19:14 nwt (it helps to read the context, several verses before and after.
) john also doesn't mention the lord's evening meal with his his apostles on passover.
it would have been impossible, because he was already dead, according to john.. the bible contains many contradictions that can possibly be reconciled if you have enough imagination, but this contradiction seems pretty blatant.

I never picked this up before. Has anyone seen any rationalization from the GB on this?

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.

Mulan, I never got details on Fred's Mom as he was in a neighboring Hall. It would be easy to find out ...if I was still in that is. There is a chance that it wasn't his Mom, but the info was from a reliable source. She may not have been deathly ill, but that was the reason put out there. It could have been him wanting to be close to her.

"Question 2. Was the aids virus on board, or did God create it later to smite some that really pissed Him off?"
An EXCELLENT question.

Wow, this is another one of tjose topics where I found myself wondering why that didn't occur to me when I was a JW? We were conditioned to explain away everything with "miracles." So much so that we, or at least I, missed so many things that common sense should have told me.
