the whole wt yesterday, which was supposed to be about love, actually centered on how we should react to 'persecutors'.
it was horrible to hear the audience comments...calling 'worldly people' everything from 'they are unkind and mean' to them being 'hateful and unneighborly'.
i sat there and thought about how this 'us vs. them' mentality is the very thing that is contributing to the divisive and separatist world we live in.

link removed until Ray is aware that his book is being made available online for free. Although the book is available as a pdf file Ray does not give it for free. After all the years he gave to the WTS and how he was tossed out the least we can do is pay the small fee he asks so he can continue to support himself and his wife. -- Lady Lee
christmas is almost here and it's time to discuss the watchtower belief that the star of bethlehem was, in fact, satan leading the magi from the east to jesus so that king herod can kill him.
i never understood why they believe this as there is no scriptural evidence to suggest the star was anything more than a celestial beacon by god..
Maybe because Astrology is connected to pagan and Occult practices.

Are you the same Designs who used to post at the Paradise Cafe?

yes, what was the biggest lie that you can think of, that persuaded you to realize that they were not who they said they were ?.
for myself it would have to be the year they picked as the destruction of ancient jerusalem 607 bc.. i have an assumption this was done purposely to coincide correctly with making 1914 an a important pivotal date.
in human history, which by all factual evidence it was not.. unassuming and deceiving manipulation for self marketing purposes.
What about the claim that they predicted World War One? Did they not actually predict that Armageddon would take place in 1914?

1. Two times a week, we go to a nice restaurant, have a little beverage, good food and companionship. She goes on Tuesdays, I go on Fridays.
2. We also sleep in separate beds. Hers is in California and mine is in Texas.
3. I take my wife everywhere.....but she keeps finding her way back.
4. I asked my wife where she wanted to go for our anniversary. "Somewhere I haven't been in a long time!" she said. So I suggested the
kitchen.
5. We always hold hands. If I let go, she shops.
6. She has an electric blender, electric toaster and electric bread maker. She said "There are too many gadgets and no place to sit down!" So I
bought her an electric chair.
7. My wife told me the car wasn't running well because there was water in the carburetor. I asked where the car was; she told me "In the lake."
8. She got a mudpack and looked great for two days. Then the mud fell off.
9. She ran after the garbage truck, yelling "Am I too late for the garbage?" The driver said "No, jump in!"
10. Remember: Marriage is the number one cause of divorce.
11. I married Miss Right. I just didn't know her first name was Always.
12. I haven't spoken to my wife in 18 months. I don't like to interrupt her.
13. The last fight was my fault. My wife asked "What's on the TV?" I said "Dust!"

Hi Possible San
I do not know whether John Scott is a JW. However his article does seem to be somewhat like a JW apologist article.
