They should have chosen a normal sounding name for the child.
For example, Moon Unit, Dweezil, Ahmet, and Diva Muffin would be some good choices.

Why do the GB need a new Bethel compound if the end is so close? Here is the "official" answer
by sir82 inas most of us know, the society is spending 10's of millions of dollars on a giant, state of the art, secluded bunker country club headquarters in very remote, isolated warwick ny.. the question that "some" have is, why?
if armageddon is coming "very soon", why go to all that time & effort & expense?
why have thousands of jws dedicating their time to this massive effort instead of the "lifesaving ministry"?.

Instead, under Jehovah’s direction the building was later transformed into a dormitory and school, called the Watchtower Bible School of Gilead.
"Under Jehovah's Direction"??!!!!
How was the change from a "place of refuge" to the "Gilead School" done "under Jehovah's Direction"?
Did someone at Bethel receive "instructions" directly from Jehovah, such as when Moses received directions from God in the Bible?
Very presumptuous of The Watchtower claiming that something was done under "Jehovah's Direction", especially as there is no way to prove that statement!

David Splane does not bow head when giving a prayer!
by VM44 inthis is a report in spanish conerning david splane giving a prayer at a convention.. perhaps someone can translate it better, but google translate gave the following:.
during prayer, should no longer be necessary to bow his head in a mass meeting, as was splane throughout the prayer, head up, down, left and right looking at all tiers, not hiding in the least.. so splane is looking all around at the sudience while giving a prayer?!!!.
can someone confirm that is what the spanish text says?.

Thank you Calebs Airplane for making clear what was written in Spanish.
The title of this thread should now be updated to:
David Splane does not bow head during prayers!
If anyone has the opportunity to observe Splane during a prayer, please do so and tell us what he does.

"All authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been placed there by God."
Does Paul prove this statement, or does he simply state it?

Amazing if it is so.

Se me olvidó añadir unas curiosidades más, sobre todo para los testigos que nos leen.
Durante la oración, ya no deber ser necesario agachar la cabeza en una reunión multitudinaria, ya que Splane estuvo durante toda la oración, cabeza arriba, abajo, a izquierda y derecha mirando a todas las gradas, sin disimular en lo más mínimo.
Y lo de no agarrarse durante la oración que decía hace poco la Atalaya, también se ha debido eliminar. David y Lynda estaban muy, muy agarraditos.
¿Será otra nueva luz, o asunto de conciencia, o seguiremos el dicho "haz lo que yo diga, pero no lo que yo haga?

– May 11 2013, Zone Visit; Brother Splane visits Ireland
Brother Splane spoke on the subject – ‘Should You Wear Saul’s Garment?’
..."Bro and Sis Splane were once assigned to a fanatically Catholic town. Each day they had to cross a long bridge over a river at the same time that about 200 school children passed over in the opposite direction. So, they decided to look each one of the people squarely in the eye. What happened? Nothing, except the people were the first to look away!
We must force ourselves to stand proud not look like a whipped puppy." -

"They hate all religions"
At that time, Jehovah's Witnesses did not consider themselves as a relgion.
This Saturday Evening Post article by Stanley High is one of the best articles to ever be written about the JWs.
How many insightfull articles about the Jehovah's Witnesses and The Watchtower have been published in the 70 years since this one was?
Not many.
I wonder why?
