e.g.. likewise today (likewise in our time)evidentlywhat are some you've noticed?.

Aluminium.... satan's shiny metal ass.

when i was in beffel, i was asked to stock check their collection of magazines, going back to their first uk prints.

they wanted room and so asked me to throw out all but 2 copies of every magazine.

the irony was, this was the loft space, it was huge and empty and they didnt need the room.

my uncle would go on & on about the evils of aluminium, this was in the 80s, he passed away mid to late 80s & he had became a jw in the 30s so yeah that would have been about the time that bs was going on lol.

he actually had me believing it for awhile, i wouldn't buy alumium cooking utinsiles in the 80s, when i9 started thinking outside the jw box i changed my mind on the matter

i was wondering from any here in the know, does it seem like there is a lot of "remodels" going on?.

in the last week i had the occasion to talk with two jw's in different halls, about 10 miles apart.

they both are undergoing major remodels.

Has Anyone Been Present When a Dissident Spoke in KH?

by Band on the Run in

i know some dissatisified members have planned to "throw caution to the wind" when they exit and break the news as a stunning revelation of lies.

some of my funniest memories were of teachers and others terminated but since they had to finish their contract, they decided to share their insights and horrors.

in normal life, there is a certain allowance made under the circumstances.
