Is there a link to a video of the GB? I'd like to see that. It sounds weird.

Ha!

Here's another one I ran into today. Did you have this one yet?

Rama Singh, Professor of Biology at McMaster University, Ontario, Canada,
was quoted out of context in the Jan., 2015 "Awake!" to leave the false impres-
sion that he supported the JWs leaders' stance to doubt evolution.

"Rama Singh, professor of biology at Canada'a McMaster University, says:
'The opposition to evolution goes beyond religious fundamentalism and in-
cludes a great many people from educated sections of the population.'"

So he wrote to the editor of "Awake!" asking for an apology.

"So I am asking you first to remove the misquotation from your article
immediately and second print an unconditional apology for what I consider
is a deliberate damaging action on your part to my reputation."

Subsequent Internet and .pdf versions removed the quote but the professor
didn't recieve an apology.

- Maybe it's because I'm not up on things but I thought the GB made the rules
and the followers didn't have any say in it before. Whats the big difference
now?

- The Internet thing doesn't surprise me. It just had to take them a bit to
think of a way to make money from it like literature.

- Are they allowing flags without calling it idolatry now?

- Whats the money grubbing? I thought the followers were kept too low on
money to grub for it.

"True" is my middle name. It was my mother's maiden name, Margaret Ann True, and I'm named after her

brother Russell Glen True (who died in the Battle of the Bulge).

A Fitting Song For The Corporation

by The Searcher in

powerful cover version of a timeless classic!

"hello darkness, my old friend, i've come to talk with you again, because a vision softly creeping, left its seeds while i was sleeping, and the vision that was planted in my brain still remains, within the sound of silence.in restless dreams i walked alone narrow streets of cobblestone, 'neath the halo of a street lamp, i turned my collar to the cold and damp, when my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light that split the night, and touched the sound of silence.and in the naked light i saw, ten thousand people, maybe more.

people talking without speaking, people hearing without listening, people writing songs that voices never share and no one dared, disturb the sound of silence.
