Sir Isaac Newton calculated that Jesus would return in 2060.
Now if their is one man I'd actually trust when it comes to making calculations its Newton.
So I'm calling it: 2060.
And I say this as an atheist :)

Eternal life through brain transplant into an android body only a matter of time. Religion no longer needed.
by fukitol inhumanity doesn't need to continue believing in hocus pocus pie in the sky religious hogwash and pipe dreams to have hope of everlasting life.
nor is it necessary to find the fountain of youth or turn off the aging process.. it's only a matter of time until science achieves it.
maybe not decades away, maybe not even centuries, but eventually..... ....mankind will achieve eternal life through a transplant of the human brain into a future highly advanced robotic body.. already the scientific fundmentals for it exist.

Soooooooo...here's a thought concerning trans humanism.
When your brain is removed from your body, you have no sensory input whatsoever.
No sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste or balance.
What if your transplant goes horribly wrong and your new body cannot be successfully connected to your brain?
What if your brain is removed by a totalitarian state and kept in a jar for a sentence period because you broke the law? What if you were forgotten about?
If hell does not exist it will.

You too, invent your "new light"
by coalize ini had this idea of topic when john aquila made me laugh in one of his post when he said : new light!the governing body has the right to have sex with all the new virgins that get baptized before they get married.. and then i've decided to open this topic to ask this (stupid but funny) question : if you was in the gb, what's the "new light you will want to fight for?

There you go:
I propose a series of articles with new light:
First Watchtower Article of new light:All Publishers have to go from door to door and apologize to everyone they ever preached to on a Sunday morning. They are allowed to do this on Sunday mornings....
Second Article of new light:200 Days of Games is to be held every leap year. Gladiator style in Yankee Stadium.
...
Third Article of new light:A massive music concert has to be held annually. The first concert is announced featuring: Jarule, the Williams Sisters, Prince, The Wyans Brothers, The remaining Jacksons, George Benson and friends. Prince has to perform "All along the Watchtower". Cliff Richard and the Shadows have to re-unite on stage. All Jehovah's Witnesses have to sing "Who wants to live forever" by Queen as the closing song.
...
Fourth Watchtower Article of new light:A public apology is made to the United Nations for being a slutty whore.
...
Fifth Article of new light:All conventions will now have to have air-conditioning, Laser shows and big bands. The article announces a deal for live televised broadcasts on TBN.
...
Sixth Article of new light:The name Jehovah is deemed too 19th century. The name Ja, Jehoober or the Big Guy is now deemed acceptable for use in all new Watchtower study articles....
Seventh Article of new light:Every baptized witness has to watch the Simpsons episode: The Joy of Cult. Failure to do so will result in immediate disfellowshipping and stoning....
Article eight of new light:Sexy unmarried sisters have to wear skirts above the knees. Its mandatory....
Watchtower Article Nine of new light:The history of the Watchtower is revised and in the article the Governing Body admits to failures on Malawi/Mexico, Blood policy and all the prophetic dates.
...
And finally Article Ten of new light in the Watchtower:The Governing Body apologizes to the world for perpetuating a stupid religion.
...
After the last article a week later it starts to rain all over the world.Hell freezes over.
Thy kingdom come.

A Watchtower quote about apostates I never knew about
by Saintbertholdt ini knew the watchtower didn't like me, but i didn't know they wanted to physically kill me (if they were allowed)from the 15 november 1952 watchtower magazine under questions from readers:.
in the case of where a father or mother or son or daughter is disfellowshiped, how should such person be treated by members of the family in their family relationship?.
we are not living today among theocratic nations where such members of our fleshly family relationship could be exterminated for apostasy from god and his theocratic organization, as was possible and was ordered in the nation of israel in the wilderness of sinai and in the land of palestine... (and a bit later)..being limited by the laws of the worldly nation in which we live and also by the laws of god through jesus christ, we can take action against apostates only to a certain extent, that is, consistent with both sets of laws.. so let me get this straight: if our secular pesky laws were not an obstacle and jesus was not in the way we'd be hunted and exterminated?.

"Exterminated"? What like cockroaches or mosquito's?

Looking Back In Retrospect To 1975...
by titch ingreetings, folks: so, it's been 40 years since 1975. and, if you were actively involved with the witnesses back then, the mindset of many was, that by early autumn of 1975, it would mark the anniversary of 6000 years of human existence.
and, the hope was then, that it would mark the start of the 1000-year of christ, from the heavenly realm.
but, looking back now, 40 years ago, in june of 1975, only 3 more months remained until early autumn.

In 1975 West German Branch Servant Conrad Franke gave a talk on 20 January 1968 in Hamburg. In the talk he spelled out to the audience that 1975 was the year of Armageddon.
After the talk the underground East German (GDR) overseer prepared a circular with the title: 'The shortness of time should determine your actions'. Here's are the closing remarks from the circular:
"...Thus it is impossible that Armageddon could take place after 1975! Who has given this keyword 1975? The slave! And don't we say of this slave that he gives us meat in due season?"

Did you notice the following under income: other 405 490
This is not asset disposal (fixed) as it is listed elsewhere. This is also not interest, so this is investment income:
At 10% growth for the year it would mean the lump sum is 5 000 000.
At 5% growth that would mean a 10 000 000 lump sum.
The investment return for a balanced managed fund is about 7.4% according to the Australian ASX exchange long term investing report, so the Australian Watchtower has about 7 400 000 in investments.

Request For Information: 1935 trial of Paul Balzereit
by Saintbertholdt inhas anyone ever come across the court transcript of the trial of paul balzereit by the nazi state in december 1935 in halle?.
or has anyone come across the 1936 german yearbook article discussing the matter?.
the transcript incensed rutherford which resulted in balzereit being publicly disfellowshipped.. the watchtower corporation seems to have kept a transcript because they quoted out of it in the 1974 yearbook.. anyway below is what rutherford wrote in an open letter to the german witnesses in 1936 (as you probably already know):.

Thanks wifibandit,
I saw most of those documents and I have gone through them.
BTW, i found part of what I was looking for in the 1936 Watchtower reprints.
There's enough there to give me a good idea of what Balzereit said that incensed Rutherford.
Greetings
