Freddo's point is important. This major study article was so vague we only knew for certain that the doctrine had actually changed when we read the masthead on the Awake.

Mr Dunn please tell David I got his message and send him my very best wishes.
i have done a lot of research over the years in to jesus and how he related to other older gods and astro-theology.
many who have looked in to this before me have stated that jesus is a retelling of a son god.

The new facilities at Chelmsford will not include a printery and we will discontinue printing at Mill Hill toward the end of March 2018. Therefore, if you would like to see the MAN Roland press we would encourage you to visit before then.
I'm genuinely astonished!
WTF is the point of Chelmsford. Can anybody link to the original publicity about plans for Chelmsford?

Venus you proudly live an evidence - free life. That is your choice.
I choose to ground my beliefs in reality. It is disconcerting to many people who need to believe there is a meta-narrative but the only explanation that fits with the facts is "shit happens".
