$3 Billion Lawsuit

could this have any bearing on current changes at brooklyn?.
brinjen

The part that grates me... not about the class action lawsuit obviously but related to the Working With Children card. July 2011 the Watchtower Society was charged with their complete failure to comply with these laws introduced back in 2005.
Five times they were summoned before the Victorian Courts to face these charges and they refused to appear or even send in legal counsel. So... the conservative coalition (surprise, surprise) government decides to drop the case altogether! Not in the public's best interest was the reason given. WTF!
Why do we keep electing these brain dead conservatives? They bitch and moan if Labor pursues a course and fails... but even when they do fail they at least bloody well TRY!

How many decades/centuries before 1914 becomes irrelevant?

how long do you think the watchtower can speak about 1914 and have followers think it relevant?

i think for people born in the 1900's, it feels like an acceptable year.

but what about those born since 2000, will 1914 seem like a year of relevance?

I suspect they may do it again... find another year to essentially replace 1914 as having any signifigance. They've pretty much disabled it anyway with the 'overlapping generations new light'. Maybe they're looking for something else to replace it. Just a thought.

What do you need a sharpie for when you can just carry a pin with you instead? Prick your finger... there you have it. Constant supply of ink.

Anyone Else See Les Miserables?

i went to see it today - by myself (mr bee is on a golf junket).

i was glad that that i was by myself because i cried so much at the end, i wouldn't have wanted to be with anyone who wasn't crying - and that would not have been mr bee!.

les miserables the current film is adapted from what is considered one of the half-dozen greatest novels of the past 150 years and one of the longest novels ever written.

I want to see it... but the thought of having to hear Russell Crowe sing again puts me off also (yes, I've heard him "sing" before).

hello jwn, my last thread revealed the identity of the beast out of the earth referenced in revelation chapter 13 veses 11-18. this post will deal with the beast out of the sea who is being ridden by a prostitute called babylon the great.. first, we must identify the beast the prositute is riding.

this can be found in revelation chapter 17:.

one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, come, i will show you the punishment of the great prostitute, who sits by many waters.2 with her the kings of the earth committed adultery, and the inhabitants of the earth were intoxicated with the wine of her adulteries.. 3 then the angel carried me away in the spirit into a wilderness.

you've seen or heard about the ripley's believe it or not museums, where different weird & wacky items are displayed from human culture.

let's compile a list of the weird & wacky items from the jw religion that would make a great jw believe it or not museum.

maybe the wts could open one up it's own historical museum in brooklyn to make some big money.
