Eight questions about Nathan Knorr
by Skimmer ini have some questions about nathan knorr, the third president (1942-1977) of the wtbts.
accurate answers are welcome.. 1) how did it come about that knorr was made president of the wtbts in 1942 after the death of joseph rutherford?
rutherford as we know was an usurper inheritor of russell's wtbts in late 1916 after russell went to his reward.

Some very good questions, Skimmer. I'd like to no 6 and ask further, Where, for that matter, are all the Bethelites buried, particularly the GB?

Boy, they're whingeing buggers! They've got all daylight hours to do their door to door duties; what do they want? To be able to knock on your door at 2:00am??

Great Idea, Mommie Dark. Just curious: my family and I spend plenty of time in waiting rooms etc but have never seen any 'Towers or suchlike. What sort of places are JWs likely to leave their sales brochures in? (Laundromats, obviously! Where else?) I'd love to do a little proof-reading and correction of their mags!

Ministers of Manipulation
by Victor_E ini would like to share with all my experience i had yesterday in visiting a non-denominational church in juarez mexico yesterday, at the insistence of a colleague of mine who is a psychologist.
we got there fifteen minutes late and we walked into a building with some three thousand people.
on stage was a music group singing religious songs working the crowed into a state of emotionalism frenzy.

Farkel, if you want some juicy threats by Benny Hinn, made to his detractors, see Hank Hanegraaf's Christianity in Crisis, pp 336 and 344.
As for this whole mass hypnosis thing, I've done my time in Pentecostalism, where this sort of thing is the norm.
I remember in the mid-80s, an group of Aboriginal Christians came to speak at the church and, just when the crowd were at their most pliable from all the singing and dancing etc, out came the collection bags. The main speaker from the Aboriginal group blasted the leadership for allowing such a mundane thing as the collection of money interfere in "what God was doing" in the congregation. The following week, one of the pastors gave a little talk whereby he pointed to a documentary where cameras accompanied some Australian soldiers and a group of Aborigines on survival manoeuvres in Northern Australia. He noted that the Aboriginal people just took their time getting to their destination and had a completely different way of seeing and approaching things. He then brought this to bear on what had happened the previous week; "Don't accept the statements of people from a different culture who aren't as conversant with the ways of modern life" seemed to be the message.

I like Logical's theory that the WBTS paid Prince to join. Perhaps part of the deal is that they will have new light on smoking soon...

Think41self:I think the witnesses deserve to have to deal with a fruitcake like Prince. He came into the borg so screwed up, maybe all their mind f***ing will actually straighten him out!
Hmmm. Maybe his f***ed up influence will straighten them out too! Now wouldn't that be great!

I was going to try one to the Greenacres theme song, but simply substituting "Patterson" for Greenacres and "Brooklyn Heights" for New York and Manhattan seems to work...

The only person who's come to my door in the last two years was a Mormon, and a young lady at that!
We had an interesting discussion with her. We told her about the JW's horrible shunning policy in regards to what it does to families, and asked her to spread the word about it! Hee HeeLOL What a great idea; enlisting other door to door people to do the work for us! Now, if we could only get the door to door people who try to get you to change your phone company doing it...
