Right Jeff, yesterday is history, tomorrow's a mystery; all we have is today... that's why it's called "The Present!"

The Greatest Gift (no one is guaranteed tomorrow)
by AllTimeJeff ini was watching a movie on cable this week, and was impressed.
it was about a woman who chose prostitution, in part to live out a life of lust.
the movie is more about her journey to learn about herself.

Why move magazine printing from the U.S. to Canada?
by factfinder inthe january 2011 issues were printed in canada so the change was made.. the wts spent millions of dollars enlarging and updating the printing operations in wallkill so they could consoladate the book and magazine printing at the one location.
it was in 2004 that they stopped the presses in brooklyn and began book production in wallkill.. now just 6 years later they suppossedly sold several of their presses from the u.s. and canada, bought a large new very fast press for canada and had to enlarge the printery there to accomodate it.. now the canada branch will print over 260 million magazines for the u.s.each year and all the expansion done in wallkill was for nothing.. does anyone know why this was done?.

The Reasoning book has become for the present-day JW what the old Rutherford phonograph was to Rutherfordites -- a crutch to lean on, rather than one's own personal knowledge

Bland, maybe, but a helluva lot better than sitting through one of those "first, the governments will turn on Bablyon and and then on us!" or "facts demonstrate that God's kingdom was establish in 1914 and the anointed were granted approval in 1919" ...... this is one talk actually aimed at the public-- a rarity these days-- and won't have an unitiated newcomer's head spinning!

How Long Can WT Stonewall The Mounting Evidence For Evolution/Age of Man?
by Room 215 inthe evidence for some form of evolution -- and the age of earth and life upon it -- is mounting almost daily.
how long can the wts insulate its followers from the incontrovertible evidence without lapsing into total irrelevance?
what do you think?.

The Watchtower just cannot to to terms with the incontrovertible evidence of some sort of evolutionarly development of life; and the age of life on earth; the only tentative baby step they've taken in that direction is to equivocate on the previously stressed 7,000-year creative day teaching, so they just wall it off. By the way, it's not generally known that C.T. Russell was a proponent of some form of deistic evolution (see The New Creation).

Keep Your Family, Follow Ray Franz' Example. Think Smart!
by believingxjw ini feel terrible for those who have lost their families.
after reading coc, and after the shock of it, many of us hurried to leave and hurried to get our families out only to find ourselves on the outs with our loved ones.
but is that the best or only option?

New Awake - JWs are Great!
by brotherdan inthis box appears in the new awake.. how can they say they have no clergy class?
what is the governing body?

Whatever they say, the JWs are no strangers to political activism. I recall once, when a JW crowd formed at NYC City Hall to protest an adverse decision on their plans for contruction in Brooklyn Heights, then-mayor Koch is reported to have said to an aide: "look at them; a crowd, and not a vote among them!" Then in France, they orgainized demonstration against the huge tax imposition. I'm sure there are other examples.

Has WT Tried to Control its Past?
by leavingwt inon another thread, an active jw wrote the following:.
but the past of jehovah's witnesses is all out there exposed for everyone that wishes to see and recount it in detail.
like charles darwin, charles russell lived during the 19th century, too, and, like darwin, russell he had some zany views (like that pyramid of russell's, for example).

Interesting how the apologist mentions Darwin and Russell in the same breath. Russell was a proponent of some kind of deistic evolution, at least in the case of the lower animals ..... not generally known among JWs today.

Favorite Bethel VOICES
by brotherdan ini grew up with certain voices (not faces) that were almost like celebrities to me.
maybe this is only a "born-in" thing.
but there are a lot of them that will forever be stuck in my head.
