A sucker is born every minute
by Sour Grapes ini was an elder in the 1970's and i was not a big fan of the "stay alive until 75" dogma.
i was looked down upon by the heavy hitters on the body of elders and in time i changed my mind.
i knew of the failed prophecy of 1914 being the end of all times which was repeated for the year 1925...yet i came to believe well maybe this time they've got it right.. with every new watchtower, i combed over every word to find support for my change in my belief that the end was coming in fall of 1975. at the district assembly in 1975, everyone clung onto every word in the final talk.

Freedom of Religion vs. Freedom of Worship and Belief (or non-belief)
by EdenOne ini was just wondering about this:.
the laws of the different western countries offer robust protection to religious practice.
but what is the best term to describe it and why?

FREEDOM OF RELIGION should somehow be balanced with FREEDOM FROM RELIGION, so that those who wish not to practice any religion at all, can be protected from religious fanatics that think that their religion should be adopted by all mankind.

How delusional is Tony Morris actually?
by Festus inanthony morris iii was representing gb in international convention in helsinki, finland.
in his final talk he mentioned that at the fight of armageddon jesus will fight together with the 144 000. he then reminds the audience that one angel destroyed 185000 assyrians.
so what are "144 000 immortal creatures together with jesus going to do".

It appears that he 'fancies' himself as some sort of modern day Walt Disney of the Jehovah's Witness Cult. That in itself is pretty 'delusional'.

David Schafer is a GOVERNING BODY (tm) helper. He kind of looks like Howdy Doody and hence my 'parody' of his 'pulling the strings' behind the scenes.

I think David Schafer is the real 'puppet master'. He 'pulls the strings' that control the 'GOVERNING BODY'.
