  Kind of like joining a nice new religion, then seeing the reality of it all, after a bit.

  The young girl-old woman illusion (otherwise known as "My Wife and My Mother-in-Law") is a reversible image in which the viewer may either observe a young girl with her head turned to the right or an old woman with a large nose and protruding chin, depending on one's perspective.

  i hope farkel won't kick my ass too high or too far for posting this here, but i don't recall seeing it here anytime recently, and it is just sooooo much fun.. i'm concerned though, that farkel's affection for fred franz may be dangerously close to the infatuation point.

  he has the fred franz action figure, i hear.. - - -.

  Wish Circuit Overseer Wilbur Strickler had preached this to me decades ago.
  

  
  

  'A.H. MacMillan ("Faith on the March") who served in Bethel under 3 Watchtower presidents and died as a faithful JW tells us why. He said that Beth-Sarim was built "for no purpose other than to get the drunken and declining Rutherford out of Brooklyn." Note the words: "no other purpose" than to deal with an abusive alcoholic. Very revealing about the true character of the man Franz, isn't it?'

  
  

  'Wilbur was a fourth generation Jehovah's Witness, dating back to 1870 when his great-grandparents, William and Nancy Goodwin became Bible Students. Wilbur's great uncle, A.H. MacMillan had a strong influence on his life.'

  i don't know why but sometimes like to check up my old/self righteous friend, gary kennedy from bethel on face book....he is a pioneer in ecuador.

  yes and just like most pioneers he likes to brag on his selfless life style.

  he is serving the lord my sitting at home and writing out thousands of letters long hand all day long to count his time.

  2. friends

  yes, many here have lost many years of life due to being infected by this cult like religion.

  for many it is very hard to let go of that life and those wasted years.. of course people need time to heal and this web site is a great place to do that, swap war stories and commiserate.. i was in for over 50 years.

  so of course it will be with me for the rest of my life.

  A sprawling investigation into all kinds of religious and secular youth-serving organizations would be a challenge to conduct.
  

  Attorney General Josh Shapiro’s office declined to comment when asked whether a broader investigation were merited.
  The attorney general would need to spare investigators on a long research project that, like the Catholic investigations, may yield lots of history but not many prosecutions due to the criminal statute of limitations

  Further, few religions are as centralized or as fastidious about record keeping as the Catholic Church. Each diocese has archives of personnel files and other records, including candid internal documents that bishops and other administrators never assumed were going to be made public. That’s a potential target-rich environment for investigators.

  While some religions have similar hierarchies, many of their records are kept at headquarters in other states, such as the Jehovah’s Witnesses in New York and the Mormons in Utah.

  as spock would say " fascinating".. with 2020 being such a terrible year.

  are people of the christian faith going to look at this as a sign of god, to give them hope and renew their faith?

  coincidence?
