  does anyone else recall the big chart that hung at the front of every kingdom hall?.

  it would be about 5 feet x 4 feet.

  on the side of the chart, vertically listed, were the months of the year.

  Brother Knorr's Cadillac and other secret perks

  2. scandals

  back when i was a wee lad, my dad told me that the brothers in brooklyn had voted to purchase a cadillac motor car for the sole use of the then president, nathan h knorr.

  he'd got this information from the london bethel, him being a chum of the then branch overseer, pryce hughes and his pal ron drage.

  religious leaders of non-profit sects are supposed to take a vow of poverty!.

  The 2 witness rule

  by tim hooper in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i've just been informed by a jw apologist that regarding the 2 witness rule in cases of child abuse, the child himself counts as 1 of the witnesses.

  he also stated that if 2 children complain about abuse seperately, the 2 children then count as 2 witnesses.. any thoughts please?.

  On Tattoos

  by tim hooper in

  tattoos may look great for a while on a young person, but as you get older they'll just look plain stupid.

  your credibility will fade as you and your tattoo age together.

  your skin will be permanently stuck in a timewarp, like some old newspaper headline that once meant something but later becomes meaningless.

  The Children Act

  by tim hooper in

  new ian mcewan novel the children act to take on religionstory focusing on parents who refuse treatment for their son's illness will be published in septemberian mcewan will focus on the contested domains of religion and family life for his forthcoming novel, the children act, according to his publisher jonathan cape.. due to be published on 4 september 2014, the children act puts ideas of adult responsibility on trial with a plot that revolves around parents who are refusing treatment for their sick son because of their religious beliefs.

  the novel centres on the presiding judge at the high court, who is a woman.. speaking at last month's oxford literary festival, mcewan described the denial of medical help on religious grounds "utterly perverse and inhumane", according to the telegraph, arguing that "the secular mind seems far superior in making reasonable judgments".. "there's an almost consumerist notion that the pursuit of individual happiness cuts across the interests of children," mcewan said.. citing cases involving jehovah's witnesses and catholics, mcewan praised the 1989 children's act, which enshrines the child's welfare as the "paramount consideration" in any court ruling, calling it a "remarkable and civilised piece of legislation".. the novelist has long been suspicious of organised faith, telling the believer in 2005 that he has "no patience whatsoever" with religion.. "i'm not against religion in the sense that i feel i can't tolerate it," he said, "but i think written into the rubric of religion is the certainty of its own truth.

  and since there are 6,000 religions currently on the face of the earth, they can't all be right.
