They were not exonerated, nor were the charges dropped.
The original case was dismissed on a technicality (I don't recall whether it was on appeal or whether the technicality was simply discovered by the authorities) and when it came up for re-trial, the war was over and the prosecutor had better things to do - worse criminals to prosecute.
it is in the nature of man to want to have more than one woman.. a man cannot help himself.
he was born that way.. if it was legal, men would have multiple wives, two, three, maybe ten if he could afford it.. that's all.. jdw .
Yeah, lets take society back in time three thousand years. Sounds like a brilliant idea.

whenever a new branch or k/hall is built, its always proof that supposedly j is blessing his people and speeding up the work.
does that mean when they have to close a bethel branch it means he is pissed off with "his people"????.
Isn't it interesting how they started ramping up their real estate investments just as they were preparing to discontinue literature sales?
There is NO QUESTION that they view real estate as an investment. It's their only real money maker now.

Sweet. Thanks for posting.
so i was reading ahead in the bookstudy book "bearing thorough witness" about god's kingdom, and i came upon some shockingly direct damage control on behalf of the gb in the material for the upcoming weeks.. on page 104: what a privilege it is to be instructed and molded by our patient and kind heavenly father!
the results are always good and always to our advantage.
so let us never proudly push ahead with our own ideas or react negatively to organizational changes or to adjusted explanations of certain scriptures.
NVR2L8 I LOVE the analogy of the two smoke detectors. The Borg false "alarm" goes off in 1874, 1879, 1914, 1915, 1918, 1925, 1975 and they say, "SEE? Our alarm system WORKS!" Any normal homeowner would have thrown the thing out after the first couple false alarms.
As for whether this is just normal Watchtower GB propaganda, the significance of this stuff is that it isn't a random paragraph in a Watchtower article praising the GB - which there always has been and still is plenty of. This is an ENTIRE BOOK dedicated to establishing the Borg leadership as descending in a direct line from first century Christianity. It's the most audacious attempt at doing such a thing that they've ever done.
i am at a loss as to understanding why some people give so much time and energy to responding to people like obves on this board ,,,,,,,,and of course he`s not the only one , ,,,,,,,,,why do we give these guys the platform to espouse their dribble ?
on this site ?
it is an exjw site is it not,?
I'll give anyone the time of day as long as they're not trolling, and I think OBVES is sincere. Sincerely off-base but sincere. He's not out to start fights and arguments.
bioflex, i am starting this thread so that the other one doesn't get hijacked.
here is where you left off.
bioflex please stop talking about evolution you are off topic and your ignorance of the subject is deeply embarassing.
Before genetic sequencing there *might* have been some valid debate. Now there is none. Evolution is real. Read about it. Learn it. Deal with its repercussions in a rational way. People who don't "believe in" evolution, do not understand evolution.
"The Magic of Reality" is Richard Dawkins' latest book. It is illustrated by Dave McKean (in addition to many photos, charts, and graphs). It is written so that people approximately age 12 and up can understand the wonders of the natural world. In other words, it is written at around the upper level of Watchtower literature. Engaging and clearly stated. I highly recommend it. (It's a $30 book but you can get it online for just over half that.)
this is utterly ridiculous.... .
the more i research this particular subject, the more flip-flops i uncover.
it seems the fds cant even make up their minds regarding what happened in 1918 (or should i say 1919?).
I never knew that they were have said to fail the inspection in the Borg lit. That's fascinating.
As for the time period of inspection, I was under the notion that it begain in early 1918 (I forget the supposed date) and ran for 18 months - ending in late 1919. So either year could be used depending on whether you're talking about when the inspection began or when it was completed.
Regardless, there is no evidence any inspection ever happened and if it did, there is an equal dearth of evidence that the Watchtower was chosen as faithful and discreet and then appointed over all his belongings. AND, there isn't any evidence that YOU or I are supposed to be considered "belongings" OR that Matthew 24:45 is even a prophecy.
It's a big pile of bullshit.

you cant have a red blood cell treatment, but you could have a haemoglobin treatment, haemoglobin is a conscience matter.
red blood cells treatment.
This is pretty common and the question that always comes into my mind is: Does the Borg leadership like it this way or does it frustrate them?
I'm not sure whether even the GB knows the answer to that.
