the guardian has a story about a recent discovery regarding the great pyramid of gizeh.
it begins this way:.
"archaeologists have uncovered a mysterious enclosure hidden deep inside the great pyramid of giza, the oldest of the seven wonders of the ancient world.
I have a copy of the photo drama of creation that was published in book form. Page 25 describes the following from CT Russell about the origins of the great pyramid.
"Melchisedec is supposed to have been one of the Shepherd Kings who invaded Egypt and built the Great Pyramid, covering twelve acres, known for ages as one of the Seven Wonders of the world - about 2170 B.C."
CT Russel swore that the GP was God's monument and alter in Egypt. That is one strange theory.

Anybody from this discussion board going to the Warwick protest on November 5, 2017?
Here’s a few Youtube videos on it. There’s even a “Gofundme” set up for this.

They’ve already met their goal of $4000 with 83 donators within 4 months of opening the gofundme account. They said the money will go to the following things for the event.
“Custom signs. Professional banners. Printing materials. If we raise enough money there will be an airplane towing a sign above Watchtower HQ....but there are some other things planned that we can't talk about, but the idea is to change anti-Watchtower activism forever…Thank you for supporting the mission of the Vast Apostate Army. If you donate $30 or more we will be sending you a care package with a tshirt and decals.”
Warwick: JW Protest Picked Up by the Media!
from reddit:.
this was an oral argument to dismiss the $4000/day fine.
both sides presented their arguments and now the judges will write an opinion (30 to 90 days).
Here's a link to the news article by the San Diego Reader.

They are very informative but their version is not as juicy as our local member.
when discussing the watchtowers financial problems, i've generally been of the opinion that they probably are not in a real financial crisis.
i've come to believe that money may be something of an issue, but its wrapped up in a much larger problem.
this came to me this morning when reading about the annual meeting.. i think the society's leadership is just plain out of ideas.
The GB leadership needs to make a request of the rank and file about their speculations of the end time scenario. Since God isn't inspiring those at the top, to foster new ideas, then maybe some of the pee-ons on the bottom are getting the download. Have these letters sent in just like the letter writing campaign to the Russian government.
The originality would be limited because the meeting curriculum seeks to make clones of the writing department. It's just a school that wants you to answer what the text book says. The text book is not the bible, its the supplemental publications.
They need a think tank. Are you up for the challenge?
so in the october jw broadcast, there is a "morning worship" segment in which g. jackson goes to great lengths to explain how the term "those taking the lead" are not "leaders".. the terms are exactly equivalent, of course, but jackson, with a wink & smirk, pats himself on the back for his own cleverness on how different they really are.it's just so bizarrely absurd.. imagine if such tortured reasoning were applied to other areas..... -------------------------------------.
restaurant manager: i'm sorry, the only position we have open is for dishwasher.
applicant: that's insulting!
G. Jackson wants to make sure absolute loyalty of the friends is directed at the GB and not toward a local elder noticing trouble in paradise. "Wait on Jehovah" is the popular line if you're disgruntled.
In ancient times it was the prophets who were disgruntled and they made a big stink about it. They either caused change in the hearts of the leadership or in most cases were killed for speaking against that leadership. When the leadership refused to listen to outside criticism, God just burned his .org to the ground. This is where the current system may be headed.

Can you make out a profile of a man's face in the field?
This needs to have a thread of it's own.

Someone mentioned in the watchtower study that it was weird that the artist chose blond hair for one of the babies on page 5. The two babies are supposed to be Esau and Jacob. Esau was said to have a red look which could mean he had red hair. This would explain the brown/red haired baby in Abraham's arms. Then who's the blond baby in Rebekah's arms? Both Rebekah and Isaac are both brunet. Jacob should have come out brunet or bald. There is no mention of him being a different color. The wiki page on Esau says his brother Jacob was called "Tam" which means "relatively perfect man". Either the artist is a racist or he is playing a practical joke and is one of us.
What do you think?
i've seen comments by some on leah's expose on scientology: aftermath.
she actually won an emmy for this show.
rumor is that she might take on jehovah's witnesses in season 3. .
I've just passed this on to my circle of friends who are still in but seriously doubt the multitude of doctrine. We're in it for family and friends. They got back to me real quick and were so exited. They couldn't believe this day had come. We've all been watching Leah's show on Scientology.
anyone who questions the governing bodys authority is labelled as an apostate and almost always they bring up the story of korah and his revolt against moses.. watchtower august 1st, 2002, the article loyally submit to godly authority paragraphs 8-15.. https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2002563.
in not so subtle hint, the gb likens themselves to moses, and those who disagree with the gb are korah.. paragraph 15 is actually quite damaging to the gb's argument though:.
it was so unnecessary for all those people to lose their lives.
The sons of Korah were proven wrong when the earth opened up and swallowed them. Coincidence or divine judgment?
The present day apostates were proven wrong when a fire appeared above the heads of the GB. Since that is not happening then the Helper is not with them.
