Christians afraid of Carl Sagan?

in looking for a particular reference to carl sagan's the demon-haunted world: science as a candle in the dark, i stumbled across this website:.

http://www.crossroad.to/q&a/science/sagan.htm.

it appears the page was created as a rebuttal against carl's book.

Imagine how surprised Carl Sagan was when, after dying in 1996, he found himself to be one of the most fear-inspiring ghosts in the world!

Welcome to Our Ironic Universe, Carl!

Feb.20 WT Study: "Reap Blessings Through God's Spirit-Guided King!

by Billy the Ex-Bethelite in

during the brain-numbing lesson this week, i looked ahead at the article for next week.

it's hard to get past the title alone:.

reap blessings through god's spirit-guided king!.

Nathan Natas

That is an example of some truly Orwellian phrase-crafting, indeed!

I guess they might counter that not all spirit beings are guided by Jehovah's magic Spirit. Da Debbil, for example. and unicorns.

The Next Change: What Are Publishers Worth?

by metatron in

jw

once upon a time, i invested in an electronics company that increased its profits by over 200% by reducing its customer base!

this counter-intuitive result came about because they realized that most of their revenue came from a few customers who needed more support.. fast forward to the watchtower: whether they admit it to themselves or not, change will come because they are piling up huge numbers of publishers that are almost useless.

worse, they eat up published resources without contributing for them...... and they drag the organization down in multiple ways and create more problems.. they have a "growing" problem - with increasingly useless growth.

Nathan Natas

Yes, a realization of the old "80-20 rule," which in this case would state that 80% of the Watchtower's wealth comes from 20% of its membership.*

They would be wise to start a major reduction-in-force immediately, but the WTB&TS is seldom wise, faithful or discreet.

*A corollary of this would be that 80% of the problems of the WTB&TS come from 20% of their membership. The WTB&TS assumes that this troublesome 20% are the "apostates," but actually, the troublesome ones are the unproductive and inactive "almost-faithful" hangers-on who drag everybody down with their whining, complaining and being "stumbled" all the time. Get rid of those ZEROS and restore some pep to the org.

If any of the WTB&TS management team knew anything about business, they would have realized this a long time ago.
