Thats the thing though, they arnt significant. Only jw's care about it. The WT makes us all think the org is important, but the vast majority of the 6 billion plus people dont care.

found this on another site... watchtower's many false statements about "the generation of 1914".

http://www.jwstudies.com/2010_change_to_generations.pdf"''" .

2014 - its significance in the watchtower society"''" .

1914, 1925, 1975 and many other failed prophecies did not do it. Neither have the many scandals involving blood, child abuse among others. 2014 will come and go, just like 1975 and Harold Campings rapture. A few might wake up but the WT will go on.

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks

PYRAMIDSCHEME

From a single, abbreviated life grew a seemingly immortal line of cells that made some of the most crucial innovations in modern science possible. And from that same life, and those cells, Rebecca Skloot has fashioned in The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks a fascinating and moving story of medicine and family, of how life is sustained in laboratories and in memory. Henrietta Lacks was a mother of five in Baltimore, a poor African American migrant from the tobacco farms of Virginia, who died from a cruelly aggressive cancer at the age of 30 in 1951. A sample of her cancerous tissue, taken without her knowledge or consent, as was the custom then, turned out to provide one of the holy grails of mid-century biology: human cells that could survive--even thrive--in the lab. Known as HeLa cells, their stunning potency gave scientists a building block for countless breakthroughs, beginning with the cure for polio. Meanwhile, Henrietta's family continued to live in poverty and frequently poor health, and their discovery decades later of her unknowing contribution--and her cells' strange survival--left them full of pride, anger, and suspicion. For a decade, Skloot doggedly but compassionately gathered the threads of these stories, slowly gaining the trust of the family while helping them learn the truth about Henrietta, and with their aid she tells a rich and haunting story that asks the questions, Who owns our bodies? And who carries our memories? --Tom NissleyFrom Amazon

Before you can be Baptized, you must first....

by RagingBull in

at this week's bookstudy/school/service meeting, there is plenty of emphasis on "baptism"...and considering the book of acts, one must wonder about the eunuch and cornelius.. ethiopian eunuch - a minister of finance (political figure = treasurer)...didn't really understand what he was reading (not in the "accurate knowledge" way at least)...yet by phillip he was baptized soon after they met.

it was his faith in jesus that played the part.

cornelius - was in the roman army (military)...was a very giving man, kind, strong faith in jesus and believed in him...he and his family were baptized.
