I am a consumer. I know very little about computers yet I have an IBN desk top on the second floor landing, a HP laptop on my firstfloor on my desk, a notebook computer I take to work, and an iPAD + a blackberry which I can't find most of the time. I spend too much time in the cp. I would like to learn more about the cp; maybe tomorrow.

by Dogpatch inremember the video of all the nice dudes who were on the governing body in the 70s?
(here's a refresher).. well this is what their lives were really like - the same as when i was there.
by the time it got to the end, all was left was chicken backs.

OMG what a story! I have two nephews that went to Bethel. Because I have been df'd for years, I have not heard any of their stories. I believe they were probably "company men" don't know. These stories should be made into a book. What a Hell hole; and to think they (the DO/CO) wanted me to go there! I would not have survived.

Wactch Tower Society Corporation and Attorneys Vested Interest At Heart
by mind blown ininasmuch as the united cemeteries corporation---of which russell was a trustee-was later found to be a dummy corporation for watch tower assets.. .
"and did you not take title to property as a dummy for the watch tower society?".
in 1910 one of the friends of our society, who had raised some of this wheat, sold it for seed at $1.00 per pound, and donated the proceeds to our society.

I guess I always thought they needed a corp in order to do business and because they announced their meeting, did not see the sinister side of it. I have thought that they were nothing more than a printing corp using religion as a front for years. From what I am reading here, I sense that they are worse than I imagined.

Does anyone remember that the annual meeting of the WT Corporation of PA (I think) used to be announced in the WT mag every year? I remember that. I kinda think they used to meet in the month of Oct. Does that ring any bells with anyone?

My family and I have been voting since 1980. That's the year my son turned 18 and was able to vote and we all decided to make our own decisions. I vote at every election. I agree with Kojack, if you don't vote don't
complain. I think it is so important to vote. People in the sixties died to help others get to vote. I think when you don't vote, you have voted to let someone else make the decisions/choices for you.

I avoid stingy people and agree that JWs are the stingiest people I know.I am usually generous and always pay my own way plus. I do get tired of people who are always asking you to donate for their childen's activites
at school or for something at their church. It is neverending. I give to Goodwill and never sell what I don't need anymore at garage sales. I offer it to someone I know or give it to Goodwill.

Questions From Thinkers
by Perry inhow do you explain david's graphic portrayal of jesus' death by crucifixion (psalm 22) 1000 years before christ lived?.
how do you account for the odds (1 in 10 to the 157th power) that even just 48 (of 300) old testament prophecies were fulfilled in jesus christ?.
in what sense was jesus a "good man" if he was lying in his claim to be god?.

How do you explain the thousands of people who have experienced heaven or hell and have come back to tell us about it?
Who are these people? I have never heard of them.

Sorry for the late post.
Talsin, thanks, I will order Mila18 and put it on my list of must reads. Thanks for the tip on James Clavell, I will also get his books.
Glander. Thanks for letting me know what you think about "Fall of Giants."
I hope to do a lot of reading this summer. It's always nice to know what other readers think about what they have read.
