The devil knows about everybody,all the christians that ever lived by rank and serial number. Ministers,priests,nuns,choirboys,bishops,popes,Baptists,Quakers,Lutherans,Mormons,Buddhists,Hindus. Atheists,infidels, pagans,sun-worshipper. His greatest achievements.Battlefields,Wars,torture chambers,famines,plagues,snuff movies,blitzkriegs,child porn, multiple rapes,mass murders. this I read in the book by James Robertson. Is it God ,the devil or just mankind that causes all this confusion and sorrow. Man has dominated man to his injury, When will it all end? I don't know why I put this out there. The book is a book of fiction or is it?

Murder in the Cathedral (Chess at Barnes & Noble)
by TerryWalstrom ini sat with my board and pieces like a new orleans hooker in a window with a red light, displaying my wanton intentions--eager for action.. last evening in barnes & noble.tuesdays the chess club meets there.. i arrived with my infamous black bag of pawns and rooks and other deadly concealed weapons of regicide--an old warrior in a strange land.. presently, a mother and her son stepped forward.
he was about 12.____mother: “oh, sir--my son has become obsessed with the game of chess and i thought if hecould play some real games with experienced players he might enjoy that.
would it be okay if kevin played a game with you?”.

Terry! There you go again! Writing so beautifully even when it comes to Chess. I use to play in the seventies even when that Awake came out it didn't stop some Bethelites who use to come over to my place to play and have a few beers. Now at 72 I have to think it through much longer. I have every game Bobby Fischer played in one book. Blueblades

Terry! I just finished reading "Heavens on Earth: The scientific search for the afterlife,Immortality, and Utopia." By Michael Shermer. This what mankind is searching for. We want to imagine a better life. Hope you read it and comment on it later on. I know it is your kind of book because I read your book,I wept by the rivers of Babylon. By the way he does look at the entire history of humanity on earth in this book.It is a tough read. Take good care of yourself Terry. You know me as Blueblades who reads all your topics and comments on some. I'm 33 years a watchtower slave 1969 to 2002 when I first joined Simon's original site back then. I miss the old guys and gals from back then.

Please Switch Off Your Critical Thinking
by pale.emperor ini have an uneasy feeling inside that something is coming this year or the next.
perhaps a new big announcement that turns jwdom on it's head.. we've seen the statement in the watchtower november 15th, 2013 which said:.
watchtower november 15th, 2013 - page 20, paragraph 17.. .

Tax Free. Remember this. Out of there own mouths when they sell property real estate etc. and collect Millions which has nothing to do with Religion then and only then can and will the Government Tax them on the real estate deals they make in the name of Religion. This day is coming and its going to Bankrupt them. So, this is what will bring that corrupt organization down nothing else. As long as they remain Tax free, they will go on and on and on just like the song Don't Stop Believing. Its Tax free or get Taxed that will determine its continued existence. In the meantime as Pale.Emperor has shown in this excellant Topic, they will try and keep the rank and file guessing what the next move is ....Money! Money! Money! I guess! Blueblades

Stealing From The Worldwide Work Fund.
by Charles Gillette inall the money paid out by the watchtower to the child abuse law suits comes from the worldwide work fund or the contributions from the monies given for the kingdom hall real estate.
so,when we were actively involved donating funds for this purpose,and the watchtower used those funds for purposes other than the worldwide work are they not guilty of stealing funds that were donated for jehovah's kingdom.
can anything legal be done about this?

Thanks Flipper! I have always enjoyed you on here. I don't respond too much when I read yours and other post. I know we never gave the watchtower the right to use our donations for payment to settle child abuse cases. I read on here that they have many loopholes that legal jumps through.I guess its just like the catholic church/ Vatican does with its donations also. As does wall street in the scams and misuse of funds meant for other causes. Blueblades
