The Telephone we take for granted!
by TerryWalstrom inmarch 10, 1876: “mr.
watson —come here—i want to see you” the voice of alexander graham bell is transmitted.
he wasn't the first to invent it but the first to own a patent.. in 1910 telephone "subscribers" had 4 digit telephone numbers.soon, larger cities had 5 digit numbers.mark twain was one of the first to have a phone in his home.. the first phones had no dials or buttons.

Funny, but I own a 1940s payphone converted to use on a land line but I don't have a land line anymore. A brass candle stick phone by Western Electric. and a 70s Rotary phone. Always loved them. Also there is a working phone booth about 30 miles from my home. I actually saw some kids being told what it was on some kind of field trip, there is a brass plate out front like a historical marker.

To big to fail
by pepperheart insome people think the watchtower is to big to fail.
i dont because a lot of the branch offices around the world (about 70 i think) are in the third world they are not paying the full cost of running them and so the american branch is having to find the money,so if they got $1 billion dollars betwwen 70 branches that is only$ 25 million a year.per branch.if each branch has 500 people working there and they spend just $1 a day for food each person that works out at £35,000 just for the food alone .

Drop Off in Mentioning 1914
by steve2 invideos from the summer jw conventions ("be courageous) show the "urgency" about the end racheted up several notches.
paranoia rules supreme!.
curiously, though, very few, if any, statements in the convention program about 1914 and the overlapping generations.

Medical marijuana
by Mikethegreek inhey everyone.... i'm new to this but i would like to run my experience with medical marijuana past you.
i'm 48 years of age and have been in the truth for my whole life.. i suffer from ankylosing spondilitis and have for many many years.
it's a debilitating form of spinal arthritis and the symptoms of this auto-immune disorder affect more than my spine.

Marijuana does not belong on Schedule 1 list. It has many uses. The same people who call it a gate way drug will sip on their scotch and think nothing of it.

LHG, this is true. The brother to the cousin who went back came to my dads funeral. He has not went back but supports the cult. His wife is opposed as much as I am. He told me once that when it thunders out he goes and holds his kids because one day it will be Armageddon and he knows he will not make it.

I have a couple of family members who not so much went back but never were associated and joined. One is a cousin, he is about 60 now. maybe a bit older. His father was a JW and out of his two sisters and brother only one sister was a JW and I don't think she is currently in. I worked with him in construction for many years. He would piss off roof tops say fuck every other word and just did not care much about anyone or thing. Now all of the sudden after all these years, he is now going to all the meetings got baptized and has FB pages with him and his kids in suit and tie at assemblies. Another one that is very strange is a cousin who was about 20 years my elder, never really went to meetings. His dad was in all his life. He would smoke, read porn like it was the daily mail, and curse like a sailor. He would treat his wife like a subject. When I would go over for coffee he would take his cup and bang the table and she would run out and fill it up. He would have her shave him as he sat in the tub ect. He would even hold his own meetings instead of going to meetings because he did not like the elders at the hall. His wife never really went or was associated with the JWs. Her family was not associated. He passed away with a hart attack and after he died, she sainted him and started to go to all the meetings got baptized and is holding the farm 80 acres as he left it for when he comes back. His youngest girl on FB talks about him as if he were there with Russell and started the cult. She is way to young and did not know him at all. This kind of mental behavior is so strange. Its a delusion so deep I can not get my head around it.
