I remember President Nathan Knorr criticizing the Beatles and referring to them as "the hairy men" at an assembley. I never felt guilty, the Witnesses bored you to sleep Rock music pumped you up.

Ever feel guilty listening to the Rolling Stones as a dub?
by undercover inthis is aimed more for people who grew up when the beatles and stones were first popular, i guess.
now it's completely silly and ridiculous, but it's funny how hearing an old song on the radio can bring back certain memories.... back in the 60s, early 70s i was a big beatles fan but for the most part none of their music was ever labeled 'dangerous' or 'subversive', even as a youth growing up in the jw cult.
even their more psyhcedelic stuff was tamer than other bands of the era.

JW Urban Legands
by ShellyDee inin my congregation we have many urban legands, like the one about the smurf doll jumping out of a girls lap and running out of the kh because it couldn't stand to hear the good news.
we also had one where a sister was out in fs and a dog talked, it told a sister not to knock on this one door, the sister went to the house and knocked anyway, and the doors and windows of the house flew open and dishes flew out, the sister was scared and ran away and the dog yelled at her retreating back "i told you not to got here!
".

Wierdest Yearbook experience EVER 1967 A "talking snake" silenced by an African Witness!!!
by Witness 007 inyearbook 1967 p.105 "{chad -africa}.....a large crowd was follwing a man who had a talking serpent.
the serpent gave greetings and spoke in foriegn tongues...a brother was passing by and attracted by the commotion, he went to the house...as soon as he entered the room the serpent stopped talking.
the man cried out: "a magican has entered the room"...the brother said: "is that a serpent or a demon that is talking to you?...i know that since god created the animals not one sepent has spoken, with the exception of the one in the begining in the garden of eden...seeing that the serpent remained silent the man left the building...later he was anxious to get some literature....".

I think there is a little information about Judge Rutherford in 'Thirty Years a Watchtower Slave" by Schnell.

If 1976 never came I would still be a db.
You know I have thought about that too, if they had not thrown out that stupid 75 Armaggeddon date and then reacted like a bunch of dishonest politicians when the end didn't come in 75 I may have never seen the light, I was in Bethel in 76 watching them pretend like nothing had happened, thankyou Knorr and Franz and the rest of the GB back then for helping to disillusion me so badly that I would quit and at least have the rest of my life to be free.
"The Watchtower fucking sucks."

That isn't faith so much as it is credulity.
Wel nol I was responding to your statement about breaking up Jesus life from his reserrection.
I am not saying I can prove what's in the Bible, I am just saying if you accept that Jesus lived what else do you accept, that he fullfilled the old testament phrophecies? If you take it that far that he performed miracles, that their were many eyewitness to that? Faith to me is just that faith.
