But if that new light comes from the top of a pagan Pyramid at its source you still have a pretentious " New Light "Yeah, but if you take all the old books out of the congregation library then it never happened, right?

18The Inherent Founding Paganism of the Jehovah's Witnesses
by Finkelstein inthere is an inherent founding association with paganism through and by the founding leader of the watchtower corporation that has to be realized and accepted as such.
c t russell was once the head editorial writer for the wts.
right up until his death in 1916. russell had associated himself with freemasons for awhile, giving talks at freemason halls and handing out literature he published at the same time.. he made up more or less a commercialized version of the gospel based upon a new era for mankind which he calculated by measuring the dimensions of the great pyramid of giza.

BTW, I did not leave due to sexuality issues.
it would have been enough, with the exception of a couple of southern US states fundie sects, I don't think I can think of a worse religion to grow up in as a gay person.

Moral High Ground
by Spoletta init seems that the other threads about trump's policies are veering off into endless ideological theories about how much better we are than islam.
does anyone think there is a chance that islam can be changed in the same manner that christianity has over the centuries?
with the inflow of ideas from western countries into the middle east, will people gradually want to move away from sharia law to something less patriarchal and cruel?

Possibly. Christianity threw off the warfare and crusades about 400 years ago. So give them another 400 years and they'll be a Muslim version of the CoE - Islam Lite as it were.

Perhaps if you go looking, but she's not in your face with it. Or ashamed of it.

Absolutely! Don't get me wrong, it was a terrible burden. I remember going in FS with on brother who was an absolute doll and having to focus on my presentations. WHEW!!
Yeah, sorry about that. I was a bit of a stunner in my time.

Circuit Assemblies in the "Good Old Days"
by BluesBrother injust been reminiscing about how c/a's have changed since we were young.
i remember when they started friday night in some rented hall , as well as the two weekend days.
saturday morning was a brief session then field ministry (which only a few performed ) and sunday sessions.. in the free time around the venue we just used to hang out socialising and eyeing up the girls.

Circuit and district assemblies were looked forward to for one thing and that was checking out the girls in other congregations. Once married they were just a ballache.
Our memorable COs were, in no particular order;
Mike Reid (to young to form an opinion)
John Andrews (as above)
Ray Midgely (complete raving nutcase)
Roddy Hollyoake ( Sexy wife)
Glen McFarlane (ok but unmemorable)
George Hilton (sound as a pound - best CO by far)
