Thanks for posting this. I was thinking about Michael Parks the other night when I caught the tail end of the movie Django. He was one of the most underrated actors in Hollywood. My favorite role that he played, was Walter in Niagara, Niagara which was partially filmed near Watchtower Farms.

Just as an item of interest: At least one of his daughters attended the Pine Bush Kingdom Hall when I was a Bethelite at Watchtower Farms. She seemed to be quiet, unassuming people. Just regular folks. I believe that you are right about his wife lying, Terry. I am not 100% positive, but I think that they were married in a Kingdom Hall and so she was well aware that Mickey was a Witness. If my mother was alive I could ask her. My mother was an acquaintance of one of Mickeys friends who was our Congregation Servant or Assistant back in the late '50's early '60's and was Mickeys best man at the wedding.

"aww, But it's not MY fault, someone else is to blame!"
by stuckinarut2 ini was just thinking about the account of adam and eve, and how they both attempted to 'pass the buck', or shift the blame to someone else.
eve to the snake, and adam to eve.... does that sound familiar??.
the society has never taken ownership of its mistakes!

"Cultivate Self-Control"
by mrssauk inthis weeks watchtower study (september 2017) about self-control states: "clearly, people who lack self-control are causing problems for themselves and for others.
and the problem of lacking self-control is worsening.
self-discipline was studied in the 1940’s, but recent studies have shown that people have become much worse at exercising self-discipline.

There was an experiment done with children in the 1940's on self regulation. I don't know who did the experiment but it is referenced in a report done on NPR in 2008. Interestingly enough, the experiment was replicated in 2001. Could WATCHTOWER and it's scholarly writers be taking another scientific study out of context and viewing the results through their own 'colored lenses'?
