My opinion is that collectively they probably average under 120. (Just an OPINION of course , like everyone posting here I have no evidence one way or another) It seems to me that they are trapped in what I like to call 'Watchtower Logic'. Since they live, work, emote and think in a 'closed system' they are never able to test their 'wild and wacky religious ideas' against any form of concrete reality. Only when time and concrete reality prove their idiotic prophesying and pontificating to be WRONG (Armageddon in 1914, Return of the prophets in 1925, Organ transplants are cannibalism, and on and on and on.......) will they capitulate and change their mind. "Stupid is as stupid does."

I agree with your theory 100%. My mother died in the year 2000. She had been a staunch Witness since the 1950's. On her deathbed she told me if she 'just held on a few more days......I KNOW Armageddon will come and I will go right into the New System(tm)!' She went into the hospital in November of 1999 and never came out again. Having been told over and over again that she would not die in this system of things it was hard for her to accept the inevitable. She was a 'hardcore' Jehovahs Witness and made my life and my siblings life mostly unbearable while she was alive.

I don't know if James Olson ever talked with the Bethel doctors about his issues. Doctor Dixon and Doctor Roylance were particularly cold hearted S.O.B'S and if he did speak with them I am sure that he never got a 'listening ear'. When I spoke with Doctor Roylance about some of my issues he said to me: "If you can't take it here at Bethel then you can always leave." Hoser hit the nail on the head when he posted:"Shame on the Watchtower for treating people worse than animals."

A quick peek at the most embarrassing facts gleaned from PYRAMIDOLOGY and " Jehovah's Witness"
by Terry inmeasuring the great pyramid of egypt reveals exact prophetic dates.. _______________.
that was the crackpot theory of so-called pyramidologists.. among the men who promoted this silly idea was the founder of the watchtower publishing corporation, pastor c.t.russell.. he did not originate pyramidology, but he copied the work of the astronomer royal of scotland, professor charles piazzi smyth.
as well as another fellow named john taylor (the great pyramid (1859) and built a grand bit of humbug theology.

What is the ONE consistent fact we can state about Jehovah's Witness teaching and Doctrine?
by Terry inuntil the scientific method came along, your guess was as good as mine.. science differed from opinion by qualifying hypothesis with testing and something called falsifiability.. what was it?.
you have to find a way to state a scientific theory by making it disprovable!.
if you have the theory "all swans are white" it is testable and disprovable how?.

Even after the death of Charles Taze Russell and the denunciation of the Great Pyramid by J. F. Rutherford, the belief in PYRAMIDOLOGY did not go away. John and Edgar Morton raised up the standard and continued to espouse the crazy and crackpot ideas of PYRAMIDOLOGY.

This story needs to be told and retold many times over. Marvin Olson was my roommate for a time at Watchtower Farms. This is not some made up and contrived story. The Olson brothers came from a 'very theocratic family'. In fact, their grandfather had been a Circuit Overseer. The mother struck me as a real cold BITCH and the father was sort of a 'milquetoast'. Poor Jimmy never had a chance being born into such a family. Many 'theocratic' families sacrifice their children on the 'altar' of full time service for the prestige, prominence and accolades to be gained in the eyes of other witnesses. We should never let the memory of such 'sacrificed' ones go unhonored. Thanks Bangalore for 'bumping' this thread. I have been looking for it for a long time!
(As a side note: I think that I remember joelbear at Watchtower Farms. If he is who I think he is, he had guts. He was being chewed out by that complete a-hole Alan Flowers once and when 'Brother' Flowers was finished joelbear said to him: Thanks Mister Flowers and walked away!)
