a graph shows group 1 being fred franz john barr etc...with a group 2 consisting of the current young faithful slaves we "met" the "group ones.
punkofnice: What makes me sad is how the R&F will believe this nonsense without thinking about it seriously.
Punkie- thinking seriously about WT doctrine always leads to trouble. JWs have to have a good sense of humor (and no common sense) in order to remain a JW. Stupid is as stupid does.
several years ago, i was studying the bible (jw literature) with an ms from the local congregation.
i happened to mention that i had several pen pals who were incarcerated in various prisons.
no matter what crimes they committed, i said i saw them as fellow human being who deserved to have a friend to write to.
an Elder in a former congregation didn't believe in doing anything to help inmates because 'They are in there for a reason'.
Yet if WT can gain converts by exploiting their situation, it has no problem sending JWs to preach to prisoners.

Gorbatchov: My respect for the Wachtower is growing more and more. They made a plan to soften the sharp religion.
As long as WT continues to preach death to billions of non-JWs at Armageddon (and lately the idea that most JWs won't survive is growing among JWs themselves), has a harsh disfellowshipping policy, uses harsh Judicial Committees which violate basic rights to enforce conformity, has no financial transparency to its members, bans blood transfusions, has no charities, etc, I don't know how WT can be considered as 'softening'.
You can candycoat a turd...but it's still a turd.
As far as the "children's section" pictured above, all I have to say is this:
"It has been found that the best way to insure implicit obedience is to commence tyranny in the nursery." -Benjamin Disraeli, British Prime Minister

Notice the picture that's supposed to be "fun" for kids is of Caleb going door to door. That's not fun...it's pure indoctrination.

i've been drinking 1 tbs with a glass of water twice daily for digestion for about 3 weeks now.
i've found it helps, but it also acts as an appetite suppressant; i've lost several pounds since using it.
i'm consuming fewer calories because i'm just not as hungry as before.
ADCMS - You seem full of piss and vinegar today!
Very true...but only about two tablespoons worth (of vinegar). As for the other, I have no idea...

Try to not sound too acerbic when talking about vinegar, Gregor.

I have found an enema consisting of 3 parts apple cider vineger to 1 part fresh apple juice to be effective.
It gives the pleasant sensation of sitting in an orchard at harvesttime when using the bathroom.
So does sprinkling vinegar on popcorn feel like being at the movies when you use the bathroom?
