Eighty five years ago today
by Skimmer ineighty five years ago today, on halloween of 1916, the founder, first president, and self-proclaimed jellyfish of the watch tower bible and tract society charles taze russell passed from this mortal vale.
some believe that he met his maker on that day.
others say that he met somebody else, and that it was somebody more commonly associated with the holiday.. at the time of his death, the self-appointed "god's only true channel" taught that:.

I wonder what the next 85 yrs will bring in terms of chronology and doctrine changes! 1914 already is sounding a long time ago...

British JWs ignoring the GB.
by dmouse inwhen we have american jw relatives visit they are frequently shocked at the difference between how they live their lives and how jws over here live.
its almost as if we are from two different religions.. that divide seems to be getting wider.
i have noticed in the past two or three years a noticeable relaxation among british jws.

I am not convinced of this. I guess there can be local variations. But who is the GB these days? The anointed old ones all resigned. In there stead are a multitude of guys on many corporations.

YoYo....I would be afraid if I was still an active witness. I don't know any witness who is confident that they will survive Armageddon. Even within the Org. distinctions are made between those who are particularly 'spiritual' as oppose to the average JW.

What do you drive and why?
by Escargot inwell, a post on the good ol days got me thinking about the vehicles people drive and why.
in the jws, a vehicle had to be appropriate for service, four doors, holding at least five.
i remember back in 1978 i bought an mgb and the brothers had a fit (hehe), i was selfish, etc.,.

What I Like About Most Of You Here & The 3 ...
by Celtic ina british compliment ... your'e all soooo preposterously predantic!!.
one thing that always made me question jw thinking so much as a kid, were those 3 dots in quotes taken from professionals in the magazines.
that space i always knew was a misrepresentation of facts and it interested me highly that to verify such comments was always most difficult in that position.. that lil space i reckon was one of the reasons for my very first initial doubts at around 14. i would always go further in reading than most, past the scripture given in the body of the public talk to check out whether that was in fact what the scriptures were saying compared to the brothers comments.. hooray and cheers for a questioning mind.
