21Talk illustrations that need to be retired
by JimmyPage inmy dad used this one alot: it compared raising a child to holding a spring.
if you let go too soon the spring will fly off in an uncontrolled direction.
if you hold it too long you will wear your hand out and the spring will be no good.

I always got the impression they were a bit effeminate, not gay though. Maybe they were so skinny & frail from a lack of food.
As for the topic, some couldn't take having to work low paying jobs (due to education) and having to support themselves ... so they went to Bethel.

WHERE in the bible does it say each creative day was 6,000 years? Ending around 1975??
by Witness 007 incould be 8,000 or 18,000 years long......if to jehovah each "a day is like a thousand years and a thousand years a day.
" 1975 armagedon theory was based on this.
{notice how this theory has since died off} my wife was told off by an elder for giving a talk on "creative days not 24 hours" but not stating each was 6,000 years long...she said she didn't believe it....he backed off and said okay then!

Smurfs????????
by cantleave inevery now and then i come across comical references to smurfs in posts on this site, i have been in the org all my life and never heard of any demonisation of father abraham's little blue imaginary friends, even when they they hit the uk top ten singles chart.
can someone enlighten me of what was said, where and when?
maybe i missed it because i was more concerned about kiss using an ouija board in plane or axel rose being anagram of oral sex!!!

Um, I don't think the Portestant Reformation folks cared one iota to be called "Apostate" and "liars" by the RCC, ... and look we all got a copy of the Bible to read for ourselves out of it all.
+1 for those wild n crazy apostate liars.
Hmmmm, maybe someone should go nail a "list" to the front door at Hqts? (Make sure the media is present)
