"The Finished Mystery" - William Miller, a member of the "little flock"

by EdenOne in

wiki: "william miller (february 15, 1782 december 20, 1849) was an american baptist preacher who is credited with beginning the mid-nineteenth century north american religious movement now known as adventism.

among his direct spiritual heirs are several major religious denominations, including seventh-day adventists and advent christians.

later movements found inspiration in miller's emphasis on bible prophecy.

AndDontCallMeShirley sez It still makes no difference to a JW. I've read info. DIRECTLY from the WTL cd-rom or the hard copy of the WT literature, and if the JW doesn't like what it says, they've actually replied, "well, you must have gotten a copy that an apostate at Headquarters slipped into the pile". Or, they'll just laugh it off and say we've moved beyong the "silliness" of some of the past teachings, not realizing that JWs are currently expected to believe things just as absurd

That's it my ancient JW elder grandfather was THERE when the Divine plan of the ages pyramid teahings were current,he would say how 'Jehovah is using this organization no matter what'.

He gave them all his money too!

not even eating with such a man?.

today i added a new article to my blog taking a closer look at watchtowers doctrinal position that jehovahs witnesses should not even eat a meal with disfellowshipped individuals.

as it turns out watchtower holds families among jehovahs witnesses to one standard and holds itself to a wholly different standard.

From Wiki on Nicotine for UC it IS the nicotine as they can get results with the nicotine patch.

Nicotine [edit]

Unlike Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis has a lesser prevalence in smokers than non-smokers. Patients who choose to use smoking as a treatment should keep a record regarding smoking cessation and the onset or relapse of ulcerative colitis to verify associations. [ 39 ] [ 40 ] Studies using a transdermal nicotine patch have shown clinical and histological improvement. [ 41 ]

In one double-blind, placebo controlled, study conducted in the United Kingdom 48.6% of patients who used the nicotine patch, in conjunction with their standard treatment, showed complete resolution of symptoms. Another randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-center clinical trial conducted in the United States showed that 39% of participants showed significant improvement vs. 3% of placebo. [ 42 ] Use of a transdermal nicotine patch without the addition of other standard treatments such as mesalazine has relapse occurrence rates similar to standard treatment without the use of nicotine.

classic youtube videos from years back!

now that i've got the new freeminds2.org up and running, i had to put all the old stuff back up in a separate website because conversion to joomla or wordpress was just too complicated and time-consuming.

this will give me time to work on the new site alone, finally!

a surprizing and shocking report, if true.

Interesting,I believe there is a measure of fraud in science (could be large) because grant money allegations are given out by cliques. But remember the supposed 'pigeon hole-ing; of cures kills the loved ones of the supposed perpetrators conspirators.They die horribly from cancer too.Look at the obituaries they don't lie none of the bad guys live longer.

because grant money allegations are given out by cliques http://cosmologystatement.org/ Check out this link on how even the nearly universally accepted 'big bang' inflationery theory is affected big time by clique grant money

Jehovah Witness victims of Childhood Sex Abuse - from TASMANIA, Australia - Police call on abuse victims to report all historic cases.

by Sol Reform in

police call on abuse victims to report all historic cases by by alex druce may 12, 2013, midnight.

tasmania police has revealed that almost a quarter of sexual assaults reported since july 2012 were committed more than a year before the alleged victims spoke up, with some cases dating back to the 1970s.. acting deputy commissioner donna adams said the 2011-12 reporting period showed a similar gap between the alleged assault and the time it was reported, with some cases dating back to the 1950s.. ms adams acknowledged the complex nature of "cold case" investigations, but urged victims of historical child sexual abuse to continue to report incidents.. "such investigations are often difficult and complex due to the passage of time," ms adams said.. "but tasmania police actively encourages victims of any crime, and certainly child sexual abuse, to report all such incidents.. "all reports are reviewed by a senior officer to determine the most appropriate course of action in moving forward.".

Refriedtruth

Ms Adams's comments followed a prediction by a West Australian academic that hundreds of people across the country would be reporting cases to police after the start of the national royal commission into child sexual abuse.

What is the most damning watchtower publication?

by zound in

i want to purchase a couple of vintage watchtower publications to help in my helping jw's break free.

some of the older ones are expensive or hard to come by - i know you can buy them on cd's but i'd like to own one or two of the "classics of propaganda"- some of the ones that speak for themselves as to the ridiculousness of this religion.. of course any magazine i pick up today speaks to me of the ridiculousness, but you need something much more hardcore for the jw's.. any recommendations?.

"children" has some pretty good quotes in it..

According the the latest findings on the National geographic society channel the 'scratch marks' in the grand hall of the great pyramid are simply TOOL MARKS of the hoisting apparatus used to hoist the huge granite roof slaps over the interior kings chamber valult.

The pyramid and Charles taze Russel 1914 date straight from the occult....scary stuff......

TO: Watchtower spy monitors see...we KNOW about you and we have no fear and will never relent from exposing your crookedness.
