  Rutherford was also a lose cannon and his last few years that WT stuck him out at Beth Sarim just to get him out of the way.

  There are a lot of charitable organizations out there that shouldn't be. The only thing the WT does is distribute literature and I don't see that as charitable works.

  William, may I ask, what you see (or, think you see) in China, that leads you to call China a 'repressive' regime?

  We can only go by what is reported to us in the news media. Just two examples in recent memory, according to what I have read from different news sources, the news media in China is controled by the Central Chinese government that no negative pictures are allowed to be published and public protest are banned. I call this repressive. We don't have to go to far for Russia, in the last winder Olympics and their ban on gay rights. Again you may not agree with this life style but I would say that was repressive.

  You cannot be a true honest "Christian" and a lawyer. I wonder if some of their legal counselers are not dubs?

  This was one of the last eye openers for me. Growing up the society would tell us to not get a higher education but to put all our time into the full time preaching work. Then in the 1980's I recall hearing about this elder that my parents were good friends with, their son that was serving at Bethel and how the society was paying to put him through law school. I said at the time to my ex that it wasn't OK for us to get a higher education because we won't need that in the new system but it was OK for the WT to pay someone to get that higher education. Well she didn't like my comment. A bunch of friggin hypocrates.

  Hope this is evetually resolved but the society with all its high priced lawyers will drag it out in court for years. Some honesty. I just hope these hypcrates can live with themselves.

  I remember 40 years ago this old woman in the cong that was one of the annointed and she said she heard things outside of her house. She was losing it mentally and everyone knew that but they would humour her. Like AndDontCallMeShirley said if this is the best they have to rule then the JW's are in big trouble.

  Rapid evolution in action

  by cantleave in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a nice example of how the introduction of a competeing species can result in behavioral and anatomical changes in an indigenous one.. http://www.the-scientist.com//?articles.view/articleno/41309/title/rapid-evolution-in-real-time/.

  for most of its existence, the carolina anole (anolis carolinensis) was the only lizard in the southwestern u.s. it could perch where it wanted, eat what it liked.

  but in the 1970s, aided by human pet trade, the brown anole (anolis sagrei)native to cuba and the bahamascame marching in.
