  Bill Bowen's attack on Ray Franz

  bill bowens attack on ray franz: .

  i very seldom find time for checking the discussions going on at various debate sites, and wasnt aware of bill bowens statements about ray franz in his original post of oct. 9, 2002 at 7:26 (now evidently altered), until a friend quite recently sent my a copy of it.

  i was not only surprised but was shocked at his statements.

  Michael Moore is a leftist nut case and Bowling is tripe.

  I'll vote for "We Were Soldiers," great movie, great book. I lost three friends and a cousin in that Asian pest hole.

  elders paranoid about baby shower

  by jurs in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  perhaps someone out there knows if this is a common jw paranoia.

  once a sister in my hall was going to have a baby.

  because she wasn't in the "click" no one offered to give her a baby shower.

  You guys must come from really strange congregations. Every one that I've been in people gave out invitations, etc. at the hall an no one said a thing. Likewise with the passing items back and forth. Someone starts to get on your case about something like that, just tell them to take a hike. especially elder's wives.

  After-meeting conversations

  by Gopher in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  to be able to properly "encourage one another, more so as you behold the end drawing near", we as jw's were instructed to do the following: .

  (1) stay after the meeting for "upbuilding association", and .

  (2) rather than talk about mundane things of life, discuss the finer points of the meeting just held.

  Typically, you only hear a discussion of a part if someone screwed up.

  Resurection of billions will bring famine

  by Gerard in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when billions of people resurect, in flesh and bone, their bodies will again need a source of energy: food.

  the world will be seriously overpopulated overnight and food will become scarce; should we expect cattle rustlers, gangs, tribal wars?

  will history repeat itself?

  If you accept the premise that billions would be resurrected, it seems like feeding them wouldn't be that much of a problem. Which would be more difficult?

  Question for xJW historians

  by larc in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for those of you who have an interest in jw history, and have studied it, what do you see as the similiarities and differences between russell and rutherford.

  now, i am not looking for superficial answers like, they were both full of shit.

  i am looking for some content here.

  I think Russell was a true believer, Rutherford was an authoritarian jerk who only believed in control.

  If you want to lighten the conversation then drop the shrill litany of Wt evils that has been repeated here ad infinitum ad nauseum. There's no need to insert a lot of excess verbage.

  I am pleased that you, yourself, are living proof that minds are not being controlled.
