Interesting that they release a Knorr-Franz retrospective DVD; they used to denigrate nostalgia because, as they loved to say "worldy people have nothing to look forward to, so they obssess over the past!" Their spiritual cupboard is looking pretty bare these days, if that's all they can offer.

by Aussie Oz inhttp://www.670kboi.com/rssitem.asp?feedid=118&itemid=29671679.
new york) -- harold camping is "mystified" and "a little bewildered" that the rapture did not go as he predicted, an associate of the california preacher told abc news.. .
tom evans, a board member of camping's family radio international, said that camping's wife told him her husband is at their home in oakland and has no intention to speak or issue any statement on sunday or monday.. .

"Robert Fitzpatrick of New York had put his money where his faith is: The 60-year-old retiree spent $140,000 -- almost everything he had -- on hundreds of billboards proclaiming the Armagedon that Camping predicted."
Tragic, of course, but it does illuminate how one would naturally behave if he/she REALLY, REALLY believes the end is imminent, and the fate of billions hang in the balance. Compare -- and contrast -- this with the dawdling, shuffling door-to-door meandering approach of JWs, and the WTBTS's refusal to employ its considerable resources to use all means of modern telecommunication to get the word out, whatever they profess to believe about the nearness of the end.

Although in the minority. there are those who see things clearly, and think they might serve as the "voice of reason" for the friends to turn to for balanced, temperate, compassionate counsel. In this, they of course run the risk of conflict with the hard-liners on the body.

2) obey the slave, even if you dont fully understand, he compared it with a child trusting their parents (quit condescending, sheeple are like dumb children, mama org will think for them).

A direct reference to Hitler, in German, in a German-speaking country? So much for the "discreet" component of "Faithful and Discreet!" Is he nuts?

Room 215
“My Heart was telling me that I could do more for Jehovah,” says Richard. WTF? Since when does The omnipotent Lord God Almighty actually need our help to accomplish anything? What does it say about Him that he's dependent on puny humans that He created and sustains, for anything at all? I thought we were to pray to Him for help, not the other way around!
