Here is another unusual image from the early days. Reportedly waiting ont he Mt Of Olives for the rapture to take them away. They wanted to be first in the kingdom since being there would mean they would be taken up first.

For some reason, Rutherfords nose looks enlarged and darker than the rest.
Did he have a cold?

a long time ago the jw's published a book called "humans in search of god" (translation of the dutch version so i am sorry if the title is not totally correct).
i always remembered one sick drawing in it and it always made me wonder how this drawing could be used in one of their books.. .
warning: can be shocking to people who never saw it before!.
This act was performed back before they knew that the way to a mans heart is through his stomach.

so, i was wondering at what age do the head honcho's feel fit to retire bethelites or circut and district overseers?.
I think they wait till they show signs of dementia and then add 40 years.

i currently am a jw and my parents are too.they seem either confused or dislike it when i raise questions and recently, when i questioned them about 1925 and 1975, i've been told it's changed due to "new light.
" i don't remember nor do i have very much knowledge of "new light.".
this "new light" just dosen't sit with me and neither do the false prophecies.new light first of all, breaks a scripture in deut.
I asked some elders "Was Proverbs 4:8 a prophecy from Jehovah to show that the Governing body would be guilty of giving us
incorrect information through out the years.?"
He went on to say that what we know now is "Present Truth" so I stopped him and asked what he would call the previous understanding?
He did not say anything so I jumped in and said if it's not "Present" it must be "Previous" and he agreed, then I said if it's not "Truth" it must be a _______" Where I left a pause waiting for his answer.
Could not get him to say the word "lie" but I know he knew where I was going. Nice to see them flustered a bit.

i'm doing a blog post on dedication and baptism.
is there a comprehensive list of the books needed to study and the years in effect?
i was baptized in 1992 and i think one of the books were united in worship...(blue book).
The one that should be read is "Captives of a Concept" by Don Cameron.
Yep, that'll do it.

Or look at the tire at the bottom right of the pic of the jetway. I think that they lowered it down to ground level to keep the wind from getting ahold of it.
I could be wrong.

i know people in the wtbts who are " assigned " ( i love that word .
so does anyone live around there?
does this sound familiar?
And you just know that Jho prevented her from reading the letter initially as it was an angel that made her avert her eyes at just the right time.
The husband must have thought that the info had some valid points or why tear it up why just not show his wife how sister x is a nut case.

our family has come to believe that god really wants each individual to personally and independently seek, find and walk with him - quite apart from what other humans say, think, believe or do.. we believe we were created as semi-autonomous beings.
when our inner compass is recalibrated, and we then self-direct, the outcomes seem best.. when we are instead led by humans, their hierarchies, organisations and ideas, the outcomes on the whole seem unfavourable.
legalism (rules), moralism (a moral code), ethnocentrism (doctrine), and gnosticism (knowledge) may seem meritorious.. yet these do not seem to lead to the deep inner transformation needed.
God loves the smell of animal fat being burned on an open fire. This smell wafts to the high heavens, passing through the low heavens on its way to his residing place. When it reaches Gods nostrils, his olfactory senses light up like the 4th of July (oops) and it brings him pleasure.
Don't forget that God loves animals too, but does not love them enough to give up his "bad habit" of snorting "burnt fat fumes". Hey, everyone has a vice and with all the pressure of being God and all, kindly allow him some down time, besides he owns it all anyway so who are we to say " You can't go around killing animals just cause you like to smell burnt fat, come on"
