  Congratulating the WTS

  we must congratulate them for their business genious, their marketing methods and the subtle way they teach these to their followers who think that they are been taught religion rather than marketing.

  for their ability to present many pairs of contradictory ideas without their followers objecting to this.

  for their ability to make their followers accept with admiration totally silly ideas .

  Sometimes it seems that the only doctrines that they won't change are the cruel ones, like shunning. For an organisation that is supposedly distinguished by their love for each other, that is so unloving, yet they pursue that policy more zealously than ever it seems. Mind you, they have a lot more people to practice on these days!

  Not really, but I will be having some sort of celebration, and I will celebrate Christmas this year as well. It's dedpoets birthday before mine, so I hope to pick up a few tips from him. I am well out of practice at this sort of thing, but learn quickly. Are you going to celebrate your birthday?

  Well, I'm 47 in April, so if you're old, I am positively ancient lol. It'll be the first birthday I've celebrated since I was 21.

  I remember our po putting a positive spin on 1995, saying how it kept us busy in the work because we only had such a short time left, but now the system might last a bit longer we should be thankful, because we had more time to bring more people in, and we needed to show our gratitude to Jehovah by being even busier. I took it all in at the time, now I see it for the bs it really is.

  Yes, they made their first album with Natalie in 1985. It was called "The Wishing Chair". Natalie left after "Our Time In Eden", in 1993. Deepoet reckons that's their best album.

  They are still around, lola, but Natalie Merchant left some years ago to go solo, dedpoet has some of her solo stuff and it's good. She was the main songwriter, and the stuff they did after she left isn't all that great.

  Yes, dedpoet has a track with him and Natalie Merchant singing a duet of "To Sir With Love" in around 1999, and they were an item then. Not now though.

  Yes, like the generation change in 1995. They made what was a huge shock and disappointment to many, especially the older ones sound positive, something we should all be happy about, and most of us bought it without questioning anything.
