That gravestone somehow reminds me of the movie Stargate.
Maybe the creators of that movie were inspired by Russell's pyramid?
Is it a coincidence that the main star of that movie was Kurt Russell?

The January 2013 Public edition of the Watchtower mentions December 21, 2012 on page 4.
The opening words read, “How do you feel about December 21, 2012, the date of the Maya calendar that many have been saying would bring worldwide change?...Was it just another incorrect prediction for the end of the world?”
On page 8 they have an article with the title, “Have Jehovah’s Witnesses given incorrect dates for the end?” Here are the highlights that reflect their errors in predictions:
1. We agree with the sentiments of longtime Witness A. H. Macmillan, who said: “I learned that we should admit our mistakes and continue searching God’s Word for more enlightenment.”
2. Likewise, we have had some wrong expectations about the end. But we are more concerned with obeying Jesus and saving lives than with avoiding criticism.
I wonder what kind of enlightenment they should be seeking from the Bible to get better answers. Maybe the old ways aren’t working and something new needs to be tried. They have been making big changes leading up to a virtual only magazine along with modified meeting times I wonder what big change is next? Closure of Kingdom Halls and Webcasts straight from bethel pumped right into your home?

It is so sad to hear she was murdered. I really want to know why he needed to take her life. Was he a former boyfriend?
I remember hearing a talk at the KH where an elder said Jehovah would not interfere with human affairs unless it was directly related to his outworking purpose.

It's an experiment turned awfully bad.
I just found Joseph Smith's missing golden plates. I found them under KS's house.

Thanks for sharing your views King Solomon. Your comments are noted. However, I still stand by what I said.
Some of us are still believers who enjoy an occasional trip down to the pub.

A General informs his commanders his intent to invade well in advance before an operation. The plan was to remove the spirit, or a portion of it, to cause an effect. The event changed the rules of the game.
You make some interesting points about a pre-flood anarchy verses post-flood civil law being instituted.
If it was God’s intent just to wipe out wicked mankind he should have just used one angel to do the job. He went well out of his way to bring about the flood event. I believe his main goal was to change the atmosphere surrounding earth. The rainbow, fermentation and a gradual life span reduction were a result of a new atmosphere.

What did God accomplish with the Flood?
He ruined what was good.
Genesis 1:31 - "it was very good." Genesis 6:13 - "I will destroy them with the earth." or "I will wipe them out along with the earth." and the NWT reads "I am bringing them to ruin together with the earth."
God's intent was to change the nature of the planet. Long living corrupt human beings were making a whole mess out of the situation. Idle hands are the devil's workshop, as the saying goes. People were living too long and boredom made us do the unimaginable.

So the Governing Body alone is now the Faithful and Discreet Slave?
by garyneal ini'm just catching up on the latest buzz here and it appears that there is a lot of buzz on the 'new light' coming from the watchtower concerning the governing body and the faithful and discreet slave.
if true, i can really use this to trick my wife and in-laws (who are coming in this weekend) to contradict the new light.. at first i was going to say that this can answer moshe's question regarding who really is the fds but i understand that the change simply means when the body meets on doctrinal matters is when they are collectively the fds.
is that correct?.

What is interesting about that comment 'justsaying' is that it shows Satan was allowed to corrupt the first Governing Body in the first century through a hostile takeover by Rome. It makes you wonder if he's going to make another attempt with the current one when Babylon the Great falls. Is the eighth king going to regulate religion when the time is right? With a global community comes a global governance in order to keep peace.
The world currently has bodies such as the World Trade Organization to settle trading disputes between nations and the World Health Organization is present to monitor disease outbreaks throughout the world. There are other United Nation bodies that preside over critical matters that try to keep global peace.
The world now needs a World Financial Organization to bring market stability to a fragile system always on the brink. The G8 can't seem to cut it.
The last one to come will be some World Religious Organization - A religious governing body that regulates religions so there is continued peace throughout the world. Organizations such as Freedom from Religion foundation is paving the way to pacify religious customs that interfere with human rights.

The Society debunked the rumored new light on the F&DS in 1973
by Leolaia inthis is the summary of the rumored new light from the 2012 annual meeting, as posted by cedars.. the faithful and discreet slave was not appointed at pentecost 33ce, meaning that there has not been a continuous line of members of the slave class on the earth down through the ages.
the slave class was only appointed for the first time by christ in 1919.the faithful and discreet slave is a small group of anointed brothers during jesus presence serving at watchtower headquarters who are directly involved in the preparing and dispensing of spiritual food.
the individual members of the governing body are not the faithful and discreet slave.

The other partakers will become disgruntled because of this news. They are not special as they had hoped. When the society refuses to answer their letters on the matter they will stop eating the memorial emblems in protest. The memorial partaking numbers will drop dramatically as the GB hoped. They could go so far as to say these protesting ones were part of the evil slave.

The GB of today sure hates Charles Taze Russell
by Eustace inthe whole concept of the faithful and discreet slave in the jw religion goes back to charles taze russell and/or his followers calling him the faithful and wise servant.
how in the blue blazes can they say he wasn't part of the faithful and discreet slave?.
quite a demotion, it must be said, from the faithful and discreet slave in the flesh to not even being a part of something that rutherford's lowly henchmen on the board of directors got to be a part of!.

It has come full circle. Now what? Who wants to take the lead? Isaiah 6:8 comes to mind.
