  Something I noticed in the famous "1975" Watchtower article...

  by B_Deserter in

  i decided to read for myself the articles my father and mother were reading during this interesting time in witness history.

  i stumbled upon the following paragraph that scared the bejeezus out of me: .

  "one thing is absolutely certain, bible chronology reinforced with fulfilled bible prophecy shows that six thousand years of mans existence will soon be up, yes, within this generation!

  To the contrary, it is a time when one should be keenly aware that the end of this system of things is rapidly coming to its violent end.

  I would like to know what the WT time table is when they say "the end of this system of things is rapidly coming to its violent end." It is now 32 years on and no end of the system yet.

  I was there and my parents were one of the unfortunate ones that sold their house in 1974 for far less of the price they would have got if they hung on another 20+ years. Even though my father was still a 50 year old man and still had another 15 years before retirement he believe the system was coming shortly. Now my parents are in their 80's and could have used that money for their retirement. The funny thing is he sold it to a good JW elder, who kept it a few years then he sold it and doubled his money. The big f***ing hypocrite.

  Infected tooth

  last night i experienced an ever increasing sensitivity and pain in a tooth and eventually even touching it with my tongue felt painful.

  the gum next to it was also beginning to feel numb and swollen so i realised it must be some sort of infection in the root of the tooth.

  it was vital to act fast because this kind of infection can spread fast and cause great pain and perhaps a loss of the tooth so first thing in the morning i went to the dentist, he decided it was a root infection and told me to try antibiotics and if they don't work he would do a root treatment.

  I have had my share of experiences with abscess teeth. The antibiotics will eventually take the inflammation away but I found that Advil is the best for tooth aches.

  she had battled cancer for almost a decade.

  Scully,

  I am so sorry for your loss

  You said the service was about 20 minutes and I would imagine that at least 15 minutes of those minutes were a preach fest.

  I have to say I attended a JW service a few months back and it was about 45 minutes and the fellow giving the service actually talked about the deceased.

  It is funny how the same ones protest the rejoicing about the death of a closed mind biggot are the same ones that rejoiced over the death of a Saddam Huissem. Both are evil people.

  Yes I was just reading about this film. So what is the big deal? Someone comes up with theories to disprove the gospel theories of Jesus existence and it is a big deal.

  Yeah I heard about some of those "good Christian" sisters but I never met any myself. Just ones like my ex, which thought that loose conduct was holding hands. Will

  Sex in the Organization, is that not an oxymoron. The only sex I knew being in the organization was, lights out, missionary position only sex.

  Hey that is not far from the truth. I had to make a service call to Dell Computers and they didn't understand a word I was saying. I was ready to tell them to F* off.
