Marjoe was "ordained" at age four. I wonder what fly-by-night outfit ordained him. I don't doubt his ability to parrot what he was told, but what moron can believe that a four year old has any understanding?

Heath Insurance recommendations?

currently we don't have family health insurance here in the us.
could you please recommend a good company/plan that deals with the self-insured?.

Are you looking for a permanent solution or are you filling a gap between jobs? Are you self employed or unemployed? Do you work for someone that does not provide insurance? The state may have a program. Keep in mind that any amount saved by lower deductables will be more than offset by higher premiums.

Actually, Scientology is far worse than the WTS as far as control and all that is concerned.

Thought Control (A simple test for JW's)
by TD inin george orwell's novel 'nineteen eighty-four' the capitulation of the principal protagonist is portrayed in his willingness to assent to the proposition that two and two make five.
once he had denied objective reality, his mental conquest was complete and he was no longer truly the master of his own mind.
nineteen eighty-four is in many ways, a very depressing read.. a charge commonly leveled at jehovah's witnesses is that the type of mind control envisioned by orwell has been and continues to be used on them.

The early Bible students didn't know exactly what would happen in 1914…
Exactly? They had no clue! They got EVERYTHING wrong. Or are you going to finally provide the pre-1914 quote that shows they got something right. BTW, why are you blaming the students when it was Mr. Russel who wrote the WT?
…so they couldn't necessarily attribute an unknown event (the initiation of World War I) to God's adversary being permanently expelled from heaven and focusing all of his attention on earth: Satanic aggravation. They would also have to wait sometime for subsequent events to unfold to confirm that 1914 truly marked the beginning of the last days.
Beginning of the last days? Have you ever read Mr. Russels prognostications from their original sources? Are you saying that predictions can only be made after the event has happened?

Alice, yoohoo! Please show a pre-1914 quote that shows that the WTS predicted that Jesus would come back invisibly in 1914. Still waiting.

As I've said, I am not going to argue over supposed "predictions" any more than I am going to argue over 607 bc. Evolution does not make predictions, it makes postdictions. If it is science, it has to - by definition - be observable, repeatable, and measurable. Evos are hard pressed to find examples in their world view that meet all three. Same holds true for creationists.

Alice quoted:
“It was in B.C. 606, that God’s kingdom ended, the diadem was removed, and all the earth given up to the Gentiles. 2520 years from B.C. 606, will end in A.D. 1914.” —The Three Worlds, published in 1877, page 83.
Umm… Alice? I don’t see where it says that Jesus would come invisibly in 1914. All it says is that 2520 years will end in 1914. And they didn’t even get that right. It was 2519 years. No year zero, remember? Please try again.
BTW, Revelation 7:13&14 are set in Heaven. They are already dead!

Many of the introduced animals have had a detrimental affect on the current state of the flora and fauna. Camels would be an exception. Given a few decades, maybe a century, it will stabilize to a new norm. Different, but stable.
Creationists do acknowledge that there was a wide variety within an animal kind. We deny that the variation is limitless. Perhaps, in the absence of predators, the critters had a loss of some degree of their defenses. Blind cave fish loose their camoflage and sight.
