SO CT RUSSELL IS GOD ALMIGHTY HIMSELF? TELL ME MORE!
I wish I had the means with which to scan those two pages (241,242) of the Finished mystery. Maybe one of our scholars could. They are very careful to say mighty one not almighty. In any case here are some more jewels from what is the worse publication ever put out by the WBTS:
Pages 165 and 166 offers, in a rambling schizophrenic argument, proof partly based on Rev 9:18 and an ancient anatomy book(1618) that the founders of Christendom were bald men. The logic is, according to the book, that hair is formed smoky vapor in your brain coming out of the pores where they are transformed into hair. According to the interpretation of the authors a bald man is one who's pores are clogged up leaving no exit but the mouth. Therefore the smoke comes out of their mouths fulfilling Rev 9:18. You got to read that garbled nonsense direct from the Finished Mystery to realize that these authors were clinically ill.
Page 334: Rev 22:6: "And he--The same angel mentioned in Rev 1:1; 19:9,10; representing Pastor Russell beyond the veil." So, according to the authors of The Finished Mystery, their beloved Pastor was the angel of Revelation 1:1 and a few others.

How Many Personally Heard F. W. Franz Speak?
by snowbird ini believe i did in 1974, but i was just coming into the org and didn't realize the significance of the part he played.. it was a sunday at a stadium on the campus of the university of alabama in tuscaloosa.
all the "friends" were almost beside themselves with excitement, so looking back, it must have been f. w. franz!.
i'd worked until 6 pm that saturday night, had a one year old teething child, and had to arise at 3 am to get ready for the bus trip.. when we arrived, the weather had turned colder, the stadium was quite warm, and i fell asleep a few minutes into the talk.

I heard him in 1974 in Los Angeles. He gave a talk that stated that the end would come within months or years, but not decades, of 1975. I remember having a tape recorder sitting on my lap. How I wish I still had that tape.

Page 241 of The Finished Mystery(1st edition) in its interpretation (bold face print) of Revelation 16:9 (yellow highlighting)
"And [they] blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues.--Misrepresented the name and character of the mighty one, Pastor Russell, to whom the Lord committed the task of presenting to His Church this meat in due season."
Pastor Russell = God as well as the "faithful and wise Steward". I'm sure this has been discovered but I haven't seen it discussed.

Insomniacs...your tricks for staying asleep?
by restrangled inpersonally i have tried ambien,....yes puts me out but i am up in 2 to 3 hours.....heavy doses borrowed from those taking it for years.
they are shocked it dosen't keep me down.
i just wake up woozey....i hate it.. i can fall asleep easy but just dont stay asleep....its absolutely awful.. i wake up probably 3 times a night if not more, ....i take the dog out, whether he wants to or not, go out smoke a cig and then go back to sleep.. what i find helps me is very fresh ironed sheets with lavendar scent.....that will give me 3 hours without waking up.. the blankets can't be too cold or too hot,..which is almost impossible to get perfect,....the pillows cant be too hard or too soft....i have at least 6 on the bed to choose from..... what the hell is wrong with me?

restrangled; if you try melatonin make it the sublingual type that dissolves under your tongue. Experiment with the doses 1/2 to 5mg.

What Makes Blood Sacred?
by cameo-d inand don't give me that parrot phrase "the life is in the blood.".
that tells me nothing.. of course, life is in the blood because if you don't have blood you would not be alive.. .
what i want to know is what makes your blood any more sacred or special than mine?.

From I gather, in Genesis 9:4,5, God simply wants us to acknowledge that he is the owner of the animal kingdom and that by allowing us to eat meat we are indebted to return something to him in exchange. That something could in theory have been the heart or the brains but it just so happened, for cultural reasons to be blood. However, if the creatures' or humans' life is not taken there is no need to apply this scripture. Bleeding the creature or human of a small amount of blood and using it does not violate the intention of the Scripture.

It's not what Reniaa did but how she did it. She was extremely offensive calling certain posters liars and belittling their experience. As far as pro JW viewpoints being posted on this board are concerned that's never been a problem Reniaa notwithstanding.
