otherwise go to lef.org and read the latest news.
The next step is to find a way to control expression of the gene.
Work is already underway to do this.
They're getting closer with each passing day......

to all those offended by the wt's behavior :.
one of the biggest cause of confusion among loyal ones to the wt org.
today, and those dissenting, is the very concept of what to expect from jehovah's organization on earth.
Why not reject this Witness obsession with an organization???!!
There are good people
There are bad people
It was like that in the 1st century
It's like that now
Thinking of 1st century Christians as an organization is a fallacy.
The "Governing Body" back then did not establish a strict
chain of command hierarchy. Paul makes that clear in Galatians,
when he talks about his ministry being given him by Jesus - without
consulting with the "Governing Body". Fred Franz realized this
also - and gave a talk about it to a Gilead Graduation assembly.
He found fault with the whole "Governing Body" concept.
Another example of flawed Witness thinking is the "faithful and
discreet slave". Who is this slave? ANYBODY THAT IS FAITHFUL
AND DISCREET!!!!!!!!! That's just how simple the whole interpretation
is! The Watchtower view of this text is so stupid, it's barely
worth debating.

following my note of jan 30 which detailed the way the society has been damaged during 2001 - .
un involvement rocks the society.
leaks from the elders school.
as hawkaw pointed out, the whole organization depends on cash
flow - that is their achilles heel. Keep chipping away at them
and discouraging contributions. We should see solid evidence
soon that lack of money from Jehovah IS REDUCING THEIR PREACHING
WORK. Lack of cash also may start to awaken brain-dead Witlesses
to the fact that Almighty God is losing interest in this sick
organization - no subs, no food at assemblies, paperback books,
reduced literature shipments, tiny calendars, and thinly disguised
begging for contributions will take their toll.

tell every witness sister!
warn every pregnant publisher!.
don't breastfeed your kids!
Tell every Witness sister! Warn every pregnant publisher!
Don't breastfeed your kids! You may be feeding them blood!
Thanks to Scully for pointing out this scientific fact
(as testified to by information on the La Leche League website)
Breastfeeding involves feeding on blood fractions AND WHITE BLOOD
CELLS!!!!!
Put those boobs away! Do you want your infant to die at Armageddon?
Stop sucking those teats, you God-dishonoring rebels! Show respect
for Jehovah's law on blood and put away those yummy breasts!
Tell everybody! Warn them before it's too late!

mole outbreak at bethel?.
a "bethel mole" comes in from the cold.... http://www.aimoo.com/forum/postview.cfm?id=311102&categoryid=2967&startcat=1&threadid=125884.

Welcome news, if true
Despite all the nonsense presented by idiotic defenders
of the Watchtower, it would only take a few skilled moles
to bring the organization to its knees. They could force
change - or even cause the legal destruction of the whole sick
mess.
God speed to all of them

believing is something you feel in your heart; exercising knowledge is something you do and actually requires no belief.
there is no need for an outside group to tell you how to go about doing this.
i can see that all that is truly required of you is that you believe jesus is lord, that his father raised him from the dead, that you love god with your whole heart, you love your neighbor as yourself, and you confess your beliefs to others.
What a load of crap - 'we have God's approval'!
The Bible sez the governments act as God's "minister" to bring
punishment on evildoers. (Romans 13). The work done to bring
Watchtower leadership to justice IS GODLY.
On the other hand, we have the self anointed, Watchtower
leadership claiming authority as the "faithful and discreet
slave". Child molestation ISN'T FAITHFUL - and given the trouble
caused - it isn't discreet, either. Their 'authority' is a fraud.

in the last 6 months the following has happened.
un involvement rocks the society.
leaks from the elders school.
Hawkaw has it exactly - follow the money.
Without money, they fade to black. That's why it's so much fun
watching the Watchtower run out of cash. How many religions do
you know that can't afford to ship subscriptions to their own
magazine?

a recent thread that touched on the chronology of the patriachs in the book of genesis triggered off a memory that i just had to uncover.
how did we ever believe such stuff!.
questions from readers the conclusion that the flood occurred 1,656 years after adams creation rests on the ages in the genealogical list in genesis chapter 5. the bible there says how old each man was when he became father to the next.
Way too many reported lifespans and terms of kingship
end in zero - suggesting a rounding off.

no doubt many 'loyal' witnesses view publicity about molestation.

many good changes.
No doubt many 'loyal' Witnesses view publicity about molestation
and the U.N. with horror.
In reality,such scandals may become a blessing to all.
A widespread exposure of the Watchtower Society could bring about
many good changes. Such as:
1) exposure and neutralization of negative, dictatorial leadership
within the WTS. Stiff necked old Pharisees may find themselves
named and blamed - leading to their removal.
2) effective scandals could force improvement in the Society's
attitude towards young people - impelling them to do more than
just insist on their baptism - followed frequently by 'writing
them off' thru disfellowshipping a few years later. Maybe
the molestation provokes a counter-reaction to actually do
more than wave a disapproving finger at 'those kids'.
3) the meetings (boring and pointless) and the field ministry
(mostly dead and imaginary) could be improved out of necessity,
as people need new reasons to support a religion condemned for
harboring child molesters.
4) the cult-like grip of Watchtower authority could loosen up,
leading to personal re-examination of issues like blood or voting.
5) less money might trickle into the Watchtowers treasury -
especially from wills or grants. Nothing talks like money to
Theocratic leaders - they might have to seek better public
popularity or go broke.
6) angry mobs, wielding torches and pitchforks, might storm their
headquarters and drag Governing Body members to makeshift gallows.
Thereafter, Watchtower Farms land would be sown with salt and
their name transformed eternally into a blackened curse....
oops sorry, I got carried away - that last one isn't very likely
but the others might work out for the best
