I hope they have a very strong marketing campaign involving getting on the talk show circuit. Mass media exposure will not make the Watchtower crumble completely, but it sure will have a huge impact!

he commented on another site:.
oh, i must mention: when barbara and rud publish, they will shake the foundations of the watchtower society, and i will have to rewrite many parts of apocalypse delayed to fit with the newly revealed information.
no one knows the dry rot that has existed in that organization as do they.

Q
i'll start with my congregation....... there have been about 7 disfellowshippings in my congregation alone within the last year.
over half the congo is inactive and many more are irregular pubs.
young people in the congo are dropping like flies.
Can you give us any hints Mr. Kim? I was sooooo disappointed about the lack of media coverage on the abuse settlements, what a wasted opportunity for mass media coverage regarding probably the "dirtiest little secret" about this cult. Very disappointing!!
Q
have you heard about a letter for all congregations announced next new change in wts politics?.
in letter is information that the time for the public talk will be reduced to 30 minutes.. does anyone have a copy?
.
When you consider that over the past few years the lengths of talks at the DCs have been reduced. There are more 20 minute talks and a few 10 minute talks in the symposiums. I would not be surprised if they did cut the Public Talk to 30min. I have not seen any letter stating this change yet.
Q
i'm thinking this morning at the enormous effort required to leave the witnesses.

you are a select group of strong people, who will not allow life or any organization to knock you down.
What a wonderfully put homage!! Thank you for your words of encouragement!

ok i got to thinking, the elders cover up and do not report allegations of child molestation and if they know of a known molester amongst them they do not warn the cong, correct me if i am wrong but isn't that a crime?
sexual offenders are supposed to stay away from areas were child ren congregate, such as a playground, school, library etc.... jessica lunsfords neighbor was charged with harbouring a pedo, (he was not registered at her home) isn't that the same thing the elders are doing?.
anyone care to enlighten me?.
That's a good question for Kimberly Norris "Stillconcerned" maybe she can inform us?
Q
this is from saturday afternoon program.
the speaker first starts with what he called the "alphabet soup" of degrees....a.a., b.a., m.a., ph.d., etc.
; he said they were nothing more than "sheepskins on the wall.
There is no way he did not get a reprimand when he went by the Chairman's office after finishing his talk! That is one of the most appalling things I have ever heard from a speaker! Utterly disgusting!
Q
i used to enjoy do paul illingsworth's talks.
he thought he was a greek scholar.. anyone that you liked (or didn't)?.
The best CO ever was W.J. Kalandros, I believe he is in So. Cal area now. He and his wife Rosalyn (Roz) were truly genuine people who knew how to have a good time.
Q
i was just reading a thread about the new 'exciting' format for the watchtower and how there will be a jw only edition.
add to this what i believe is the new rule that da'd and df'd people are not allowed to receive the magazines unless they attend meetings.
this all got me thinking.... .
I so look forward to Blondie's "between the lines" commentary every week! It helps me to sit through one of the five most boring hours of the week with my senses in order!
Thanks Blondie and keep up the GOOD work!
Q
these are just a few: how about this one, brothers the time left is reduced", do not take liberties with the sisters", charley calls", brothers and sister do not mark on the sides of your bibles", do you have secret sins", do not be saving seats", you will not be used if you wear a beard," parents are your children setting with you", are you buying out the oppertune time for your selfs", only use the motels the society wants you to use", and on and on like cults do.
