The messages in the article on the NSA site were hypothetical examples for people to practice deciphering.

Atheists! Would like your suggestion..
by umadevi inhi friends, i have been reading threads on atheism and how they see life from their point of view.
i must admit some of the points that you (atheists) put forth have given me something to think about.
i still have faith in god but let's say if i would like to do a research on atheism, where should i start?

The best book I have found for beginners in understanding atheism: The Atheist Debater's Handbook.
"This handbook is, in part, an attempt to summarise the best arguments from these journals, and to offer a concise set of rejoinders for use by atheists in their formal (and informal) debates with theists. Older, more traditional, arguments are included as well, but these are treated in greater detail than ever before. The author has set forth original arguments which will advance the debate if only slightly. Great care has been taken to ensure that digressions and rhetoric are minimised. The result is a short book, yet one that contains an unrelenting presentation of argument and analysis." ___Amazon
Most libraries have it.

That's a new figure that should be included in the concluding comments at district assemblies:
Along with:
Attendance at memorial (applause)
Number baptized (applause)
Number of partakers at memorial (applause)
New Kingdom Halls built (applause)
Number of our faithful brothers that passed the ultimate test - death due to refusal of blood. (huh? - damn)

You have been kicked out of an imaginary world.
You are now on the most important chapter of the heroes saga.
You will be able to rescue your family when their imaginary world finally crumbles, as it surely will.
Use this freedom to prepare yourself for that time.

Is the WTS and the JW's going to collapse in 2014?
by braincleaned intwo years to go, and an embarrassing whole century will have gone by after 1914 -- the date of armageddon.

let's put things in perspective, since the wts claims to be the channel god has choosen.

The memorial in 2014 will be accompanied by an eclipse of the moon. This is known as a blood moon.
The memorial in 2015 will also be accompanied by an eclipse of the moon. This is bound to create speculation and anticipation.
Acts 2:19 "And I will give portents in heaven above and signs on earth below, blood and fire and smoke mist; the sun will be turned into darkness and the moon into blood before the great and illustrious day of Jehovah arrives." To be sure the Watchtower won't call any attention to a possible significance. They can't risk another false alarm.
But, imagine the chatter when people come out of their kingdom halls and the moon is a creepy red. "What does it mean? Is it a sign?" Then someone says "It's supposed to happen again on memorial night next year (2015)". There is bound to be speculation and intense anticipation. When nothing happens many will be disappointed.

What Are The Motivations Of Old Men?
by metatron ina subject i (sadly) may have some expertise in !.
if you are an old dude, what motivates you?
not sex, generally.
-

scotoma
With males it's always sex. The whole purpose of male ego is access to females. (Gays excepted but substitute "person of sexual interest".
Male appetites decrease depending upon their health and fitness level. But the flame only goes out at death.
The target market for prostitutes is not young men. It's old men.
Of course humans are quite maleable and under constraint of social mores some are capable of even fooling themselves about their real motivation.
From an evoltuionary standpoint the bull is quite capable of mating right up til the younger challenger pushes him out of the way. Do you think the old bull loses its drive. Nope. Only loses the opportunity.

Gilead Missionary Failure Rate, Who Fell Asleep At The Wheel?
by Bubblegum Apotheosis inwhat happened to this school that was suppose to last into the new system?
theories on what mistakes and gross incompetence took place at gilead, from a business and "mission" stand point.. 1. the screening process appears to have been a failure, were these men and women really evaluated to how much stress they could endure, psychological frailties, propensity to fail to adapt to their new culture?
it's one thing to pioneer for ten or fifteen years in santa barbara, california or branson, missouri but try pioneering in a fourth world country (liberia is less than a third world, it's bad!

iCeltic,
Just what you need when you are out of food. A nice nutritious and wholesome blood sugar raising pie.
So in fact they stole the pie and consumed it instead of calling the pie company for permission

major split among JWs
by sidex ini am a jehovah's witness from siberia.
please tell us who knows what and where thesplits occurred after the death of rutherford.
now in russia there are many schisms.. .

Here, Sidex start your own religion:
Russia is still King of the North.
Russia is going to destroy the King of the South.
Russia is the 7th head of the wild beast that appeared dead (USSR died 1991).
It has revived.
The ten horns that have never received rulership are the new governments that emerged from the FSU.
Putin is trying to bring them back together in his Eurasian Union.
These former soviet republics are run by despots and they will eventually find that the USA is intent on removing them from power with Orange,Green, Rose revolutions.
They will Hate the harlot - USA. The USA is Babylon The Great. It exercises hegemony over all the kings of the earth.
Putin is the stern-faced king who is an ex-kgb master of deception and he became powerful "not by his own power" but was appointed by the evil cabal of oligarchs. (Daniel 8:23-25)
Russians know that Russia is the de facto successor to Rome. It is the "third rome". It is the feet of Iron and Clay. It maintains its iron strength (look at what happened to Grozny) to hold the clay and iron together. It's biggest problem is the 100 nationalities (they will come to be mixed with the offspring (nationalities) of mankind.) Dan. 2: 43
Since Russia is the 7th king it is reall also the 8th head when it is fully revived. The 8th king is not the United Nations. How could it be. Don't fall for the Watchtower teaching that the eight "springs from the seven". That is a Fred Franz interpretation to make things fit. Most translations say that the eighth is "one of the seven". It is in fact the seventh head in its revived state.
The stern faced king is described as bringing many to ruin during a relatively peaceful period (freedom from care). He also brings the holy ones to ruin.
Spread that around Siberia. See if the Watchtower can deal with it.
If you are really Russian this will probably make sense to you. If you are an American you will have a hard time understanding this scenario.

Time and unforseen circumstances befall every one. Some of these circumstances appear god sent. Others appear as if God has abandoned you.
Just remember that you were unlucky enough to be born. Count your curses. Nothing fails like prayer.
