  Thanks Dozy, I am reading the link right now. Sorry, I did not mean to call anyone who remembers Armstrong a "old timer.". The magazine evolved once Armstrong died, according to the link you provided. It's nice to see a group of men realize, one man is able to sway to much power.

  "In 1996 The Plain Truth ceased publication by the Worldwide Church of God and began publication by the non-denominational Plain Truth Ministries. The new Plain Truth has radically different editorial content, and mainstream Christian teaching, featuring a variety of Christian authors"

  The wiki link you provided. source

  Thanksgiving and Christmas were always a low turn out day for the brothers in sister. Most were using the time off, to head to Walt Disney World, Disney Land, Knotts, Magic Mountain or go camping, fishing. Unless the CO had come to town, it was not well supported, maybe Witnesses in your Hall were happy to disembark on the Turkey day mission.

  Gathering summaries for class action lawsuit..... Six Screens Conference call

  former jehovah's witness mark palo featured on free minds, who claims when he was a young boy was raped at the world headquarters of jehovah's witnesses by a governing body member named leo greenlees and says his life has been adversely affected by the watchtower org.. he has lost most of his family, over indulged with alcohol and has faced unrelentless problems both physically and emotionally.. marks therapist is willing to speak up in a court of law and expose the evils of the watchtower society.. mark will be our guest in the 7 pm to 9 pm hours.. .

  the first amendment (freedom of religion) has always been on the watchtowers side in stopping class action lawsuits against them but a stunning new twist has emerged that may open up the flood gates for scores of new lawsuits.. if your life has been turned upside down by the watchtower organization and would like to participate in and perhaps be compensated for the life altering damage caused to you then dial into the six screens of the watchtower conference call sat.

  "A District Convetion Every Week." ARGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't wish that plague on my worst enemy!

  Professionals with crews try for a maximum of 4 hours. Try to limit the chatter with each caller to two minutes maximum. Make sure your sound guy is not asleep, give your engineer a few cups of coffee, and use some notes and update your equipment, I thought I heard a payphone ringing in the background.

  2. child-abuse

  i know that years ago there were 23,700+ pedophiles listed in a database in brooklyn by the society.

  it has to be many more by now.. do you think there will ever be a defector in the watchtower it department that will release it to the media?

  do you think that someone will hack it and release the information?

  Why mention Sarbanes-Oxley act, why not mention Glass-Stegall, Frank-Dodd Banking Reform.

  Leaving WT's comment is brilliant, first time this analogy has come my way. Please listen to the advice about being discret, if your business is based on the "friends" which will dry up, once you leave, BE CAREFUL! You will loose your clients and just might find yourself in a place, your not ready to be in. Two years of doubting, is not a whole lot of time, remember to pace yourself to your emotional speed. Great analogy LWT "

  What if you were wrongly convicted and imprisoned for a crime that you did not commit? What if, during your prison stay, you devised a way to escape? During your planning stages, a prison guard asks you, 'Hey, are you planning on breaking out of prison?'.

  Why did the wife not report this monster, the mystery of the human mind.

  Stockholm syndrome is a psychological response sometimes seen in an abducted hostage, in which the hostage shows signs of sympathy, loyalty or even voluntary compliance with the hostage taker, regardless of the risk in which the hostage has been placed. The syndrome is also discussed in other cases, including those of wife-beating, rape and child abuse.

  i am curious how many families actually do this, and how many lie and say they do.

  i would guess it is less than 50%.

  i would say it is a good night for tv.. jk.

  The Family Worship Night, is most likely a flop, another night to watch the Tele. Think back of all the wonderful studies with your parents you had as a child and add all the new distractions of today's life.
