  Where are the Feminine women?

  some months ago i took my annual vacation to the land of kangaroos--you know--where men are men and sheep are skittish?

  as a social commentator i have a vested interest observing cultural changes and trends, etc.

  in the professions and trades in oz the genders dress as androgynous as their counterparts in the us.

  Why do the Governing body remain unknown?

  by sleepy in

  why do the governing body remain unknown to witnesses in general?.

  i used to think that the fact that the gb promote themselves (personnaly by name) in the magazines and don't name writers of watchtower articles, was a sign that the governing body was humble and meek.. but why did they take this policy?russel and rutherford were certainly not unkown.when did the transition happen?.

  my theory is that this annomimity is use to make the magazines look like they are not aurthored by men.if an article appeared with the writers name , witnesses may choose to reject what is writen as they can see it was writen by a man.but not nameing the writers makes it hard for witnesses to identify the writers as just human like them, and gives the impression the magazines and books have a divine source.. any other ideas?

  Don't buy into Ray Franz's stumbling block.

  by Bleep in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  ray franz wrote, "i was baptized a jehovah's witness in 1972 (three years before armageddon came) and served as an elder for a good number of years.

  all i can say is put franz book to the test for yourself.

  1)he is making money off a dumb idea.. 2)he was expecting 1975 to be armageddon.

  by Prisca in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we all know the tough stance the wts has about beards, but i found this bit of information about disneyland's standards regarding male employees (and guests!

  ) rather interesting......... (emphasis in the paragraph (yellow high-lighting) mine).

  women, god and religion

  by teejay in

  i'm close to leaving this place, but before i go, i've been meaning to post this politically incorrect viewpoint.

  it's an extension of a conversation i had with my mother in law not long ago, a conversation which was itself an extension of several extensions of thought that i've had over the years about a number of things.. simply put, there are two kinds of people in our world.

  those that believe the bible and those that don't.

  Names of so-called conspirators

  by Guest 77 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  whenever the topic of secret societies surfaces on this forum, many ignore it like a plague.

  it amazes how some can make a quick judgement and shrug it off as though it's garbage talk.

  yet, how many have made any 'serious' research on this subject.. for the benefit of some, the following names are people who wrote about various (secret societies)organizations that have controlling influence.. gary allen, dr. john coleman, count leon de poncins, william guy carr,myron c. fagan, eusatce mullins, george armstrong and the recent passing of antony sutton.

  conspiracies, paranoia and the supernatural

  by SpiceItUp in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i have a water cooloer at home and get the jugs delivered and last week discovered that 2 of my 3 bottles were "bad"--- they tasted a bit on the metallic side and caused a bit of a minor stomach bug to those who drank a full glass (only lasted an hour or so after drinking).

  i called the company and they are going to come out and replace them at no charge and mail me a report of anything they find in the water.

  the third bottle was fine.
