i find the topic of the 1975 end of the world scenario facinating, especially since i never lived through it.

do you old schoolers ever feel concerned that people will one day forget about what really went down?

with whitewashed tripe like the 'proclaimers' book informing dubs that it was just the false expectations of over enthusiastic apostates, are you at all concerned that the legacy of bullshit that is 1975 will be a forgotten moment in history blamed on you instead where the blame really belongs?

i was once told that john denver (folk singer of songs like rocky mountain high and such) was on the tonight show one night.

he was a huge patriot and apparently had no love whatsoever for jw's.

apparently as the story goes, john gets up to sing a patriotic song and before he begins tells the audience "if there are any jehovah witnesses in the audience, you may want to leave right now.

does anyone else have trouble processing the logic behind the wts issue of universal sovreignty?

why empower satan to make claims and give him the time and circumstances to prove his claims?

why have a bet between 2 people decide the fate of the universe?

page 12 of the january 1,1989 wt original magazine paragraph 8 ends with the statement that the apostle paul's missionary activity laid a foundation for a work that would be completed in our 20th century.".

(a subtle prophecy that 'the end' will come by the year 2000 a.d.).

this sentence is changed in the bound volume reprint to read "a work that would be completed in our day.
