  Some will Ex-elder. They will see the signs, see the placards, see the list of paedos in the cars. Some will have had experiences of the dead hand of elders acting as puppets for the service desk.

  Some will have had contact with the service desk.

  Some would like to leave on a moral high point. Nothing better than standing up for the victims of child abuse.

  Some will check it all out, privately, on line, like Nicodemus, honestly.

  "I am just speaking from an ex JW viewpoint."

  Not my ex JW viewpoint, though. And not for others too it would seem.

  Well ex-elder - they weren't ranting - just stood quietly with signs and facts and showing where evidence is to be found. Facts to back it up. JWfacts to back it up.

  The sheer numbers will make this a talking point in jwland here in little old UK - those that want facts will go on line and look up the sites in the comfort of home.

  Imagine the child abuse victim or the parent of the child abuse victim who was badly treated and still believing. The one who believes that her case was the exception and loyally continues serving the borg.

  She sees a hundred people outside her convention stood quietly with their placards. Her mother sees them too. They see a list in the window of a car of all the pedo's.

  They check Sewell or Porter or Rose and see it is endemic. Then they see the ARC and they give themselves permission to look deeper.

  It's like BUCKEROO - who knows what item will finally make the donkey kick?

  WELL DONE JOSEPHUS AND ALL YOUR BRAVE FRIENDS.

  The curious case of Oliver Cromwell's head

  just been reading a bit about oliver cromwell on wiki, plus i watched a documentary on youtube.. cromwell fought against king charles the first and the royalists in the 17th century.

  king charles lost the civil war and was beheaded in 1649. after this, england was without a monarch and cromwell became lord protector of the commonwealth.

  cromwell died in 1658 and was embalmed and buried in westminster abbey.

  Cofty ... "Life under Cromwell was not much different from the Taliban."

  Xanthippe ...

  Except ...

  Women didn't have to cover their faces.

  It was the 1650's ...

  It is a bit like the JW's actually!

  It is now 2003.... Where is Armageddon?

  by Nosferatu in

  i find it extremely amusing how each year is passing without armageddon.

  "for the year 2000, i visualize a world transformed into a beautiful paradise!

  but i don't think that either the present world or its rulers will live to see that day.. we are living in the last days of the system of things.

  That OP post is brilliant. I'll re-post the most important part of it.

  "For the year 2000, I visualize a world transformed into a beautiful paradise! But I don't think that either the present world or its rulers will live to see that day.. We are living in the last days of the system of things." {AWAKE Nov 8 1986 p6-8}
  

  And this is a nice touch from another post in the thread ...

  *** w99 11/1 p. 6 When Does the Third Millennium Begin? ***

  Will Their Millennial Hopes Be Dashed?

  Nevertheless, some religious fundamentalists have great expectations for the year 2000. They believe that during the next few months, portions of the book of Revelation will have a literal fulfillment.

  No correction but Charles 2nd was Charles 1st's son and so he was particularly keen to have his revenge on Oliver Cromwell even if it was posthumously.

  It continues - a sucker born every minute.

  At the last service meeting I attended a few weeks ago the "Pious Poverty" (thanks for that Spiral!) set (mid thirties - no kids - part time jobs - pioneer types) were sticking their hands up talking about "not serving two masters" and "putting kingdom interests" first.

  Trouble is retirement age is going up and up here in the UK. In 2010 women got state pension at 60. Now it is 65. By 2020 it will be 66 for men and women. By 2028 it will be 67.

  Add to that hand to mouth living and not putting money away for retirement because Armageddy's a comin' and you have a recipe for disaster as countries spread their tax dollars more thinly.
