Rutherford's Views on Women
by Leolaia in"the women make monkeys or dupes of men.
the men have before effeminate, soft and easily influenced and have lost their real manhood and sturdiness in the affairs of state and home.
for instance, when men are sitting at a table and a woman approaches, all the men arise and pay her homage and thereby elevate her to a place above men.

My mistake lifeisgood.......I see what blondie said eariler, it was a '61 article, so it couldn't have been Rutherford.
I know I have seen a scan in the past, so I knew it was real, I was worried you thought that misery was making that up.
EDIT: Misery, you may want to attribute your source so that people don't think you're a WT writer.

Jonah as Fiction
by Leolaia inthe book of jonah contains one of the most famous stories in the ot: the account of a cowardous prophet who was swallowed whole by a giant fish.
the only other mention of jonah in the ot however is absolutely silent about this remarkable story (2 kings 14:25), and there is much evidence that the book is a late tale written after the babylonian exile.
the book is unique among the twelve minor prophets for being mostly narrative and it has much in common with post-exilic haggada (such as the first-century lives of the prophets, which added considerably to the jonah legend), the "great city" of ninevah is little more than a distant, vague memory (as evidenced by such things as the anomalous title "king of ninevah" and the non-mention of the king's name in jonah 3:6), legendary touches like the giant fish and the magical growth of the castor-oil plant, and especially the late aramaisms rife in the book (such as spynch in 1:5, ht'st "to think" in 1:6, stq in 1:12, mnh in 2:1, and so forth).

Whatever happened to those "asteroid bombs"????
by Leolaia inhow coherent and fear-mongering is this passage?
33 since 1914 we have gone through two world wars, the second being worse than the first.
we have seen atomic power introduced into modern warfare, under the shield of the most powerful nation of christendom.

Revelation 22:14-15 and its Relation to a Lost Gospel
by Leolaia inoxyrhynchus papyrus 840 , an excerpt from an otherwise unknown narrative gospel of jesus dating to between a.d. 100-200, contains a story about jesus arguing with the pharisees in jerusalem over the issue of ritual purity which is paralleled in theme but not in content with mark 7 and matthew 15. the story is translated as follows:and taking the disciples along, he led them into the inner sanctuary itself, and began walking about in the temple precinct.
yet in a defiled state you have invaded this sacred place, which is ritually clean.
" and the savior stood up immediately, with his disciples, and replied, "since you are here in the temple, i take it you are clean.

Does being a JW make you narcissistic
by wyorobert ini am one of the few people on earth who never had a jehovah's witness knock on my door.
my wife was the first witness i ever met.
i did notice certain personality traits after being around some of the people who left the religion.

I think it does, now, how much they act on the view depends on the person. Many I have known are very nice and I don't belive they would have treated you that way. However I also know plenty that would have. since I have never had the "outside" view I can't speak from experince.
My own family will treat "worldly" family members graciously, then afterwards lament how they will "never make it", and it "is too bad'.
Ignoring the good that they do. most of them are christian and wonderful people, just not part of the "correct" group.
