i wonder how many more years it'll be before we see two tablets out front of patterson or inscribed in the secret elder's manual:.

we are your lord and god.

you shall not have other gods before us, including jesus or jehovah.. you must not question anything we say or do.

11th: Jerusalem was destroyed on 607 b.c.e. Don't question, no need to do any research, it was 607 b.c.e.

how well does the watchtower educate?admittedly, my opinion about the watchtower is that it trained.

and educated individuals wellin particular when it came .

to reading and public speaking.. education or propaganda?

Spectre

The whole, "reading the awake is as good as a college education" is such a weak crutch to lean on. After I actually went to college I got to see how rediculous that statement really is.

i feel just awful~!.

the wife and i showed up with our red books and bibles at the new brother's house ready for the study, but nobody was there.. anyone else ever have this happen?.

i understand that the group is huge, us, the new guys, the conductor (a bethel reject), and three generations of dubs who live in the same house, but are three family groups too much to keep track of?

Spectre

That's as good as when the speaker didn't show up for the sunday talk.

Just saying "money" might be the wrong term. However, control might be the better term and all that that implies. Control over people and control over the huge big empire it has become.

I think Russell started it with good intentions. It was just that he was wrong. But it kept going. And sadly nobody has stopped the sham since the people at the top like the power and the money.
