I agree Hermit ... although this monument is an embarrassing chapter in their history, I'm surprised the GB did not attempt to take it down and make it disappear like so many other embarrassments.
Still I don't approve of this. It's uncalled for.

Allegheny Pyramid Desecrated
by RolRod insometime within the last 2 weeks, someone took a sledgehammer to the pyramid monument in allegheny.
they stole the topstone, smashed the cross and crown emblem and removed the seal.. personally i'm surprised it lasted this long untouched.
although through the years russell's grave has been vandalized, it was always repaired by the bible students..

I don't believe anyone questions God having a name, the question is .... is the name JEHOVAH?

When You Were A Witness Did You Believe Everything Taught?
by minimus inobviously at some point you stopped believing the witnesses had the truth or else you wouldn’t be here.
.
but for the most part, were you a true believer or were you typically a rebel or a doubter?

I studied in 82, Got baptized in 83. I figured it all out by 1985. Of course my view was that these were imperfect men sincerely trying to do God's will. Since I love to read I collected every piece of Watchtower literature I could find, old books, oldtimers, etc. This was before the internet and I learned the truth about the truth. I stayed because it kept me out of trouble AND because I enjoyed it. I was a favorite among the body because I understood and wasn't quick to condemn and suggest DFing someone. But in the end I decided I wanted to out but stayed because my wife at the time was raised a JW and all her family and friends were in. I had eventually enlightened her and we slowly faded after I stepped down. Never looked back and they never looked for us. It's as if they said "good riddance". Although the last year we were in, they tried hard to investigate me, questioning me. The P.O. even came after me physically, took three elders to hold him back and I laughed.
As I said, it kept me out of trouble.

Do You Think Trump Will Abandon The Republican Party?
by minimus inthe way he’s talking, i wouldn’t be surprised if he creates a third party .
he’s unhappy with republican leadership.
can you see trump leaving the gop and going rogue?

Can you blame him? His own party has turned their backs on him. He needs to get 4 more years and destroy both parties.

I think once the news media got wind of Biden's administration appointees they realized it isn't CHANGE, but more of the same old same old, and that nothing will change for the better. But it's too late for any damage control. They spent the last 4 years demonizing Trump.
