Rutherford Exposed: The Story of Berta and Bonnie (redux)
by Leolaia in

2. scandals
in september 2004, farkel posted an article on this forum called "rutherford exposed: the story of berta and bonnie.

" his essay, which subsequently was translated into several languages and which received over 10,000 views after the first month, spawned a thread that ran 28 pages and contained the collaborative research efforts of many in jwd.

this thread was thought by some moderators to be the best in the forum -- not necessarily because of the claims in the original essay but because it inspired a staggering amount of research aimed at assessing the credibility of the claims made in the essay, as well as adding to our knowledge of this fascinating yet obscure chapter of watchtower history.

The Spread of Muslims in Europe

the spread of muslims in europe.

it seems inevitable that a hundred or two hundred years from now, the majority of people in europe will be muslim.

this is based on the number of children they are having compared to non muslims, and the presumption that they will be told from a very early age they are muslim too, and taught to believe the same things as their parents.

please sign this e petition at this newspapers website.. an afghan journalist has been sentenced to death for reading an article on womens rights.

this is outrageaous imo.

i have been doing a lot of research on this.. i am convinced that something momentous happened in 1917, and the celestial phenomena of 1938 had something to do with it.. i am also certain that the church got rid of sister lucy, and put an impostor in her place.. so there.. hb.
