Here's another harmless little ditty that when played backwards one could clearly hear them repeating over and over, the fruitages of the spirit...love, joy, peace, long suffering.... and other such upbuilding talk. Against this song...there was no law.

"Crystal Blue Persuasion" by Tommy James and the Shondrels was popular when the blue covered "TRUTH BOOK" was released at the summer DC....which was the "Summer of Love" for the rest of the world. Everyone said Tommy James was studying when he wrote the hit song about the TRUTH BOOK so all the Witness Kids got to play it with impunity. My Dad had a mint condition 1962 19 window VW bus and we camped out of it during the 8 day assembly that summer. With all our gear on the rack and flower power stickers on the bumpers, the hippies honked and waved at us thinking we were one of them. Years later when I was 17 I got baptized at the International Assembly in Vancouver Canada. Glen Campell was supposed to have been getting baptized as well and people were running around looking for him so they could get him to sign their Kingdom song book. They made an announcement about how this was improper of course.

- We want to be free from all selfishness.
- We want to be fighters for this Reich
- Named Germany, our home.
- We will never forget that we are German.
These words can still bring a tear to the eye of an old timer when he recalls how he once sang them with great earnestness along with his comerades in the Hitler Youth
This was intentionally planned by the advertizing folks on Madison Ave. to get millions to buy their brand...and it worked, but that doesn't mean they are the best out there...it only means I fell for it.

If Men Could Menstruate
by mrsjones5 inif men could menstruateby gloria steinem.
a white minority of the world has spent centuries conning us into thinking that a white skin makes people superior - even though the only thing it really does is make the more subject to ultraviolet rays and to wrinkles.
male human beings have built whole cultures around the idea that penis envy is "natural" to women - though having such an unprotected organ might be said to make men vulnerable, and the power to give birth makes womb envy at least as logical.in short, the characteristics of the powerful, whatever they may be, are thought to be better than the characteristics of the powerless - and logic has nothing to do with it.what would happen, for instance, if suddenly, magically, men could menstruate and women could not?the answer is clear - menstruation would become an enviable, boast-worthy, masculine event:men would brag about how long and how much.boys would mark the onset of menses, that longed-for proof of manhood, with religious ritual and stag parties.congress would fund a national institute of dysmenorrhea to help stamp out monthly discomforts.sanitary supplies would be federally funded and free.

Don't you think that this whole menstruation business was a major design flaw anyway ? Seems like there could have been a better way to go about all that.
And another thing that never made sense is why our mouths are located way up on our faces. If we'd have been made with our mouths, down on our stomachs, we could just sit up to the table and shove the all the food in. Nobody would choke to death or drip food on themselves. Or when we bursh our teeth all we'd have to do is stand up to the sink and brush away...no muss no fuss.
Somebody just wasn't thinkin when they designed us. LOL !
(then again....you'd have to unbutton your shirt to eat and kissing would be kinda strange....maybe I better rethink this whole thing.....never mind )

This movie had to have been done by someone who was a former Witness. Did you notice the little background details? They even had one of the societies calanders on the wall in a few scenes.

You complaining cuz you couldn't get none when your woman was on the rag? Oh poor baby
Where did that come from??? Actually my wife is one of the few lucky women I've known who is her normal good natured self no matter what time of the month it is. Never takes it out on me if she isn't feeling well or any other time for that matter. I can usually tell when its her time because she looks a little pale or seems a little tired.
I wasn't complaining at all, just noting that it's pretty likely that men will always be resented by SOME women...peroid or no period. Some women are more vocal about things. Most men don't sit around on talk shows or write articles complaining about women or trying to make them be different or make them over with diffrent cloths and makeup. They do that to themselves and when they get bored with that, they turn on men. We just go on about our business, appreciate the ones that are nice to us and try to work around the others as best we can.

If men could menstruate, they'd likely deal with it...keep it to themselves without having to talk about it and hold it over women's heads as if it were their fault menstruation existed. They'd probably use the time to invent something to make it easier to deal with or go away temporarily...oh wait....they already did that !
If men could menstruate, they'd also be able to get pregnant and there'd still be those women who would go on Oprah and accuse men of being controling by hogging all the joy's of bearing children and they'd probably critisize them for leaving their maternity leisure suits on the floor or for wearing the wrong colored necktie.

Is Armageddon a REAL EVENT to the GB like 9/11 is to the rest of us?
by Terry inall of us are aware of the startling and terrifying events of 2001, or 9/11 as it is commonly termed.. airplanes were hijacked and flown into the world trade center killing over a thousand innocent people.. this experience is vivid enough in our memory and consciousness so that it can serve as a significant illustration of what follows.. .
now i want you to imagine that you and a group of your friends received ironclad evidence ahead of the 9/11 event.
the evidence is from.

I think most JW's believe that they should believe it's a real event. To get them to beleive that they should believe the world will end, they had to first be convinced that mankind is so flawed and that our problems are so big, that we can't possibly solve them and we will eventually annihilate ourselves. They also had to be convinced that there is a higher power for good or that we have a real purpose for being here and we should hope for a brighter future where everything will be OK. Believing that there will eventually be a "cosmic correction" of some sort, brought on by that higher power, helps them live with the two conflicting beliefs. When end of the world predictions don't come true, they simply pass it off as their own misinterpretation of reliable, true and correct information and begin looking for further indications of the correctness of the original belief. Back in the 1980's my mom would come in from service exhausted. She'd say. "Michael Jackson can make one video"THRILLER" and overnight the whole world knows about it. Why are we still knocking on doors year after year only to run into people who still have never even heard of us?" I used to hear the Elders give moving talks about the end being just around the corner and after the meeting hear their kids talking about the vacation to Hawaii they were going on. I'd ask my Mom about this and she'd say "well....I suppose we need to be balanced....people do need a break"
