Brother Salda
by teejay in
1. jw
2. friends
the last memorial service/funeral i went to at a kingdom hall was for brother salda (his real name).

funny, but i can't think of his first name (his wife's name is eileen); as for him, i only remember "brother salda.".

brother salda was a very intelligent man, but not a very good dub.

Question on the generation teaching
by expatbrit in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
we all know about the wt's dramatic about face in 1995 on the generation thing.

it was a large nail in their coffin, as far as i was concerned.

after all, surely a verse so important, so relevant to our modern times would have been studied intensively at bethel.

"the moon is slowly receding for the earth at about 4 centimeters (1.5 inches) per year, and this rate would have been greater in the past.

but even if the moon had started receding from being in contact with the earth, it would have taken only 1.37 billion years to reach its present distance from the earth.

this gives a maximum age of the moon, not the actual age.

Sickening abuse case in the UK
by Simon in
1. social
2. current
i'm sure anyone in the uk will have heard about the poor little 8 year old girl who was subjected to appalling abuse and killed.. i just feel so angry right now...how could so many police, doctors, social workers let her down and fail to act when the signs were so clear and pointed out to them?.

what are they there for, for goodness sake?.

they should all be sacked for incompetence and failing to do what they get well paid for.

Defining Christianity
by Carmel in
1. jw
2. friends
it seems i constantly am confronted with those who are trying to make a "christian" out of me.

in various threads on this forum the term is used as if everyone understands what it means and there is no fuzzy edges.. i wonder if all here assume that only those that follow "jesus" are to be considered "christian"?.

consider that the title "christ" was not the name of the nazarene, only a title!
