LaidOff Bethelites: Weeping And Gnashing of Teeth

don't let any of the watchtower's propaganda deceive you.

i encountered some private conversations among witnesses about the subject and it's ugly.

yes, there is suffering as many of these victims try to live on charity and can't find jobs in the worst economy since the depression.. some of their private observations include shock that you need a college degree for nearly any job and that the watchtower society couldn't have picked a worse time to do this to them .. all the while these complaints are discussed, i try not to show that i am astounded by their bizarre "logic".

just recently, some scientists managed to sequence neanderthal dna.

while this discovery is not totally explored at this point, the following data are quite solid.. using different techniques, two teams of scientists separately sequenced large chunks of dna extracted from the femur of a 38,000-year-old neanderthal specimen found in a cave [image] 26 years ago in croatia.

one team sequenced more than one million base pairs and the other 65,000 pairs of the genome.. .

MOSES AND THE COPPER SERPENT......mysterious!
by Terry in
1. jw
2. friends
isn't it odd; even mysterious that christians think jesus could be represented by a serpent?

numbers 21:8 and the lord said unto moses, make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.

21:9 and moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.

this is the new book edited by edmund gruss.

i just finished reading it and must say a one word description would be "disturbing".

the book focuses of course on the characters and motivations of the first four presidents of the watchtower society.
