Posted before I was through....
Here is my take:
He was very very successful in the organization.
He was very very successful in business.
He was very successful raising his family.
He had a huge ego as much as he tried to be humble.
What was left that he hadn't accomplished?
I don't believe it was calculated. I believe he had nowhere to go or nothing to go after.
I don't believe it was a conscience decision but rather a result of his being so tweaked in the head he really believed he was.
He also admittedly did a lot of drugs years ago which may have contributed to his state of mind.
His wife and kids are not happy about this!!! -

Could you explain 1914?
by digderidoo in1914 doctrine was a major thing to me at the time i was a witness, i loved explaining it and saying we had the truth.
but there were so many witnesses that couldn't explain it at the time and only had a basic concept as to how they came up with the date.
i wonder how many here could explain and understand this when they were a dub?

I agree with you A@G-
Even though I could explain it I never really bought into it.
And don't believe 10%of JW can explain it.
My guess is 3%-5% can relate the official party line. -

Is there a big conspiracy to keep you poor?
by Mindchild inwhen i was a witness, i often heard that if you left the trooth that you would become rich fast, have gratuitous sex constantly, become a drug addict and end up worshipping satan.
man am i disappointed!!
it seemed for the longest time that there was a giant conspiracy to keep me a poor working stiff just above the poverty line, especially so when i was going to college full time.

It's not a conspiracy.
Don't spend all your trying to get to meetings and service and either work a little more or go to school.
I concentrated on my career, started making money and got so much grief from elders who were stuck in their financial position.
Finally said screw it and I make a very good living. I am not afraid to work late or work on a weekend. I will go to happy hour with coworkers (showing up at the Christmas party pays off). And network at "unchristian" functions.
I had an elder admit to me the other day that he understood why I worked so hard because I have very nice material possessions while most others in our hall were worried about their job security.
It is amazing what happens when you look at things objectively.
