I have heard speculation that he could be burried in San Diego at Beth Sarim or somewhere on Statin Island NY.
Why is this such a big secret to the WT?
Is there anyone still alive who knows where Rutherford was burried?

all for 6.80. whoo hoo!.

The popcorn con.
I had a buddy who worked in concenssions at the movie show back when they popped the popcorn fresh. Management would determine how much popcorn was sold by how many popcorn boxes were used. Some who worked there would get some of the used boxes out of the trash that looked new and reuse them again so they could pocket the cash on the second popcorn sale.

Do those that shun us not love us?
by logansrun init is a mistake for former jehovah's witnesses to think that just because they are shunned by friends and family, they are no longer loved.
isn't shunning a horrible experience, one borne from twisted psychological reasoning?
mandated shunning from a powerful and misguided religious organization is a great sin against both the person shunned and those who are obliged, yes obliged, to shun them.

They may love you, however the bottom line is that they love the WT organization more!

The weird thing that I do, is realted to being a JW.
When I am about to urinate, I will flush the toilet before I start, this requires a second flush when I finish.
When my non-jw wife, asked me why I did this, I had to take a few minutes to think about it. I realized this weird habit came from going to the bath room as a child during book studies at peoples homes. I didn't want everyone in the book study to hear me wizzing in the next room.
Now that I have become aware of this, I still have trouble not doing it.

Let's do something big for this year's memorial !
by Simon inenough of the wts intimidation and getting away with all sorts of crap.
we, "the people", have more power than they, "the establishment", do.. this year i propose that we make ourselves heard and noticed.
that as many people as possible protest at their beloved memorial - the one event that is "most sacred" to them.. i am not suggesting that we disrupt or do anything illegal but simply that we exercise our right to take up their offer of free wine and make a statement.. go, drink.

Here is the right way to do it to really throw them off.
1. Assume an alias of some elder that you don't like from an old congregation. Preferably some out of state congregation that you used to attend.
2. Dress up and travel to another congregation where no one knows who you are.
3. Pop in last minute before the meeting starts, if there is any time for introductions, introduce yourself as Brother (alias) from (some other cong). Tell them that you had urgent buisness and had no time to make it back to your own congregation, or that you are out of town on buisness and will be leaving to catch a flight as soon as the meeting is over.
4. Partake.
5. Leave as soon as possible when the meeting is over, tell them you have urgent buisness or a flight to catch, make sure they know your name (alias) and what congregation you are from.
In and out, know one knows your reall idenditiy and some smuck elder will be getting a call about his partaking or at minimum, it will bring the numbers up.

Why do witnesses HAVE to use only hotels on the list for the conventions?
by truthseeker in.
does anyone know the answer to this?.
a while back i read that the society gets free rooms for its convention speakers if they agree to fill so many rooms in a hotel with dubs, but is there anything more involved?.

This issue was my first defiant act against the WT. I would not go to the hotels on their list.
I tried to use the WT hotel list a few times, here were my issues.
The Elders would call ahead and get large blocks of rooms in the one hotel directly across the street from the convention. If I called this hotel when getting home from the Service meeting, they were always out of rooms. But, somehow all the JW elete family and friends seemed to not have any problem getting in.
I ended up in some flea bag infested dump that was run by a family of filthy middle eastern third world imagrants. Hey, it was cleaner than our brothers had in Afghanistan, so why should I complain.
The last time, I used the WT recommended room, I need two connecting rooms or a suite. We paid more and got the suite. Check in was a nightmare, people could hardly speek english. The place is overrun with JWs, never any ice in the machines, the ones that even worked at all. Then, at bed time, we try and pull out the sofa sleeper and we can't get it to pull out. I call down to the desk and the tell me that they wired it shut. WTF? You sold me a room that could sleep 6, now they tell me they wired their crappy beds shut. I try to find the manager Abu and he is MIA, suddenly there is no one in the hotel that can handle a customer service issue. Come to find out later the manager was there, but just didn't want to deal with the issue because he sold every room the the Watchtower.
That was it for me, after that, I took care of my own reservations. We went out to eat with friends after we woke from all the clapping after the final prayer. After a nice dinner we went back to the hotel of MY choice, had the whole pool and bar to ourselves.
The WT should stick to their core buisness, printing, and get out of the travel buisness, because they SUCK AT IT!

Research on the validity of 1914
by Bluegrass Tom inhere are a few facts that i have recently discovered by doing some research.. the watchtower society uses the date of 539 b.c.e as the date that cyrus took over babylon.
they use the term "absolute date" to define this as an unquestionable point in time.
to do this they had to ignore 586 b.c.e which is the real date for the destruction of jerusalem.. therefore, if jerusalem never lay desolate for 70 years, when does this desolation and fulfillment of this prophecy take place?

Scholar emulates his god the Governing Body with statements like this...
The great merit of WT chronology is that it is simple, easily explained and has prophetic significance leading to 1914 as shown by the recent disaster in Asia.
More like "for the simple minded".
And like his god the Watchtower Organization, when asked to explain what he is talking about, several times, there is a deafening silence.
What does the "recent disaster in Asia" have to do with the WT 1914 eschatology?
