42Did Crisis of Conscience damage you?
by Mulan init has been suggested, by a man we know, that those who read crisis of conscience, are left with a feeling of despair and are "cast adrift" after reading it.
it is his opinion that the book shouldn't have been written, because it does harm to people.
i do not agree, and would like to hear from anyone who has an opinion to share, so i can print all this out and show it to him.. comments, everyone, please????

Apt Illustration???
by Kismet ini used to love using illustrations in my talks (student, public whatever) even now i still use illustrations to help student's i teach in some of the courses i run.. i was thinking about something that happened to me while working for a private wealth company owned by a major canadian bank.... .
one day while the ceo was away from the office i caught a mistake going through the system involving a transaction for one of the clients and a subsequent presentation to said client regarding the changeover being undertaken.
the mistake, while approved and already initiated by those responsible, could have cost the company several tens of thousands in penalties and if finalized would have called into question this client (worth over $45 million) staying with the company.. tho not really my job, i initiated corrective measures, spent the night re-doing much of the work involved.

Jesus coming to power in 1914 in the heavens,setting up shop for 3 1/2 yrs., studing the earths religions & picking out Russell(the pyramid worshiper) az the chosen one of all mankind! Who said the WT doesn't have a sence of humor? -

Could it be in 2014?
by ozziepost inon day three of this year's district convention, the talk "malachi's prophecy prepares us for jehovah's day" brought out the point that malachi prophecied approximately a hundred years after the jews returned from babylon.. could this be a "softening up" to prepare the r&f that there's still a long way to go for this "system of things"?
100 years from 1914 leads to..... 2014. will this become the next mental 'milestone'?.
cheers,.

Irlam KH magazine article Df'ing
by Simon inan article about a sister in our local local kh was in a womens magazine today.
the local kh was the topic of conversation at angharad & dylan's playgroup with the verdict that the jws are "disgusting how they treat people".
apparently, they were also quite vocal about how the articles about the wtc were trying to cash in on the suffering and they were not impressed (a wise & discerning group those mums!)..
