  tried putting this up last night, but it didn't take.. .

  dug this mag out of some attic boxes, and thought some here might find it interesting.. .

  the time journalist makes some keen observations.. .

  Tallyman,

  Thanks for the link--you did a great job of putting it together! I was a JW when this July 1969 Time article came out; it was the talk of the USA Witnesses. Ron Soliday was our circuit overseer at the time, and we talked privately about the consequences the organization would face if Armageddon didn't happen. He said there was no way the Society could survive because they have all their eggs in the 1975 basket.

  I talked with Ron again in 1977 and reminded him of our conversation. He was still in the circuit work, and the Tower was seeing JWs leave by the thousands at this time. The only defense he could come up with was: "I'm a better person today because of the religion than I would be without it." I told him nearly anyone could make that claim with any religion. We stopped talking after that.

  Francoise,

  You're right, and we've seen it done already--transplants, immunizations, first you can't then you can . . . and the troops follow without question.

  Hello Champs--welcome to the forum!

  If your "studying skills" were a little better, you might find TR's artwork more interesting. You'll find more honest history of the Society on this forum than you've even seen put out by the Tower.

  Hope you enjoy your stay.

  slipnslidemaster,

  The graphics are links to other sites or freeware stuff. Feel free to use anything I post; and may the force be with you. Of course the Watchtower logo is from their site--but I'm sure they don't read apostate information.

  Mox & Logical,

  Just think what that new technology could do when the Tower writes about billions of dead people (all non-JWs of course) getting their eyes plucked out by hungry birds! Wow--the Tower can increase sagging publisher hours with that!

  They usually don't print very well because the view is always changing. They're made for the magic of Web-type viewing, and the printer can only pick one segment to print. If I invented a printed page
