  VE Day (victory in Europe) and the Generation.

  by Slidin Fast in

  2. friends

  i am watching the celebrations of the 80th anniversary of ve day.

  80 years since the defeat of nazi germany in 1945. i find the interviews of the stalwart men and women who played their part very moving.

  these veterans speak with pride and sadness about their experiences, those they lost, those they fought alongside.

  Bible Reading Schedule, Dumbed Down?

  by Slidin Fast in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  has any body noticed that the bible reading schedule has been reduced to one chapter per week.

  does any one know if this is a policy change or something temporary?

  at this rate the complete cycle will take 22 years plus..

  i have come across several official reel to reel magnetic tape recordings of material from i think the 1958 international convention at yankee stadium and polo grounds nyc.

  the speakers are knorr and franz.

  i have no machinery to play these but love them or loathe them, they are history.

  WT brags about suing indigenous peoples and winning!

  by Slidin Fast in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know we get a bit cynical and hard boiled about the exploits of wt inc. but this takes the biscuit.

  apparently these ecuadorian indigenous people objected to being targeted by the sect.

  so wt inc rode in and guess what?

  Who is this Guy?

  by Slidin Fast in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the ra is underway and there is a common thread through the first day.

  they have a "presenter" who comes across as an educated historian handling early bible fragments and translations as if he knows what he's doing.

  the impression given is that he is an unassailable font of all knowledge, with his rich scottish accent he prints himself as across as professor gravitas.. i find this disturbing, we have no idea who he is or what if any his qualifications are to speak such with authority.
