Why do they even call it "fasting"? It was more like slow death.
It's derived from the Old English (Anglo-Saxon) term 'fæstan' meaning to hold firmly, in the same way we would talk about 'making fast' or 'fasten'.

Attention Lurkers- Consider the effectiveness of your lifesaving work
by stuckinamovement inhypothetical scenario.
you are a city manager in a major metropolitan city with a population of 3,000,000.. .
if the governing body was truly convinced themselves of the impending disaster and the fact that the end is imminent would they not focus their efforts in spreading the message through effective means such as telephone, television, internet, social networks etc?

This has always amazed me. Early on JWs were early adopters of any technology that could get the word out. Radio, car-mounted megaphones, film, portable record players that were taken to doors. Yet despite massive technological advances in all these areas and the internet, JWs still stick with door-to-door. It's like they've gone backwards 1000 years.

Known Pedophile takes young boy to bathroom at circuit assembly....WTF?
by QuestioningEverything inmy mil's circuit assembly was this past weekend.
she came over for dinner to our home after the assembly.
in conversation, it came up that a known pedophile was seen walking to the bathroom holding a young boy's hand-no relation to the boy at all, although that wouldn't make a difference!

I have a boy that age. I'd NEVER let him go to the toilet (or anywhere else) with anyone, even if I know them. The only exception are his grandparents.

2. What kind of coal are you - By Troy Nicholson
It really makes you wonder what the GB are reading. But more disturbing is they claim these works as their own.
Besides these and the John Ankerberg "forever" illustration, does anyone know others the Watchtower stole?

When I started fading, the brothers noticed my absence and thought I wasn't well. So they gave me the local KH's dial in number to my wife. I think my wife used it once on speaker phone.
