Now how you can spot the best con-artists and charlatans? They're the ones that not only make off with the money, but can actually make their victims (like your friend) actually feel sorry for them in some sort of way. THAT, is the mark of a truly great con-artist. John DeLorean definitely had that.

WOW, I just found a great reason for a man to have long hair, from the Watchtower Org!

"the bobbed hair craze is sure to lead to baldness, sooner or later.

the reason for this is that human hair is like a tube sealed at the free end.

when the hair is cut, the oils which are the life of the hair become dissipated.

Did you also know, that to improve your health, you should sleep with your head facing due North?

Also, aluminum is bad for you. (actually, it is)

Vaccinations are germs being injected into you, and are from Satan himself.

That it is better to take a Case Knife, and cut out your own infected tonsils, than half a modern Doctor do it for you.

That sunbathing is actually healthy?

Yes, those gems ^^^^ and MORE, can be found in the pages of the WatchTower (and previously Herald of Christ's Presence).

Spiritual garbage it is. Toxic, spiritual GARBAGE.

The Thief of Always

a brief precursor about myself.

i've been lurking around for almost 2 years.

@ Diogensister: Um, NO, what I said was NOT a joke. Do I look like a clown? Do I amuse you?

I wrote what was on my mind, it was not satire. What's YOUR problem?

I crush weights at the gym nearly every day, watch what I eat and what I drink, and also love to target shoot and collect knives. I like to watch 80's flicks and The X-Files.

I'm 36. Welcome to the forum.

i operate a 31 restaurant franchise.

it is no small task.

KFC? Sorry, I don't eat anything that came out of a deep fryer. I'm more of a Qdoba or Chipotle guy. I miss Quizno's, they were good.

Ok, I know it's horrible for me to do, but I'm going to have to take a stab at your Franchise name.

If you were a JW, chances are good you're on the east coast, USA.

Seeing as how I'm in Pennsylvania, I'm going to take a stab and say "Primanti Brothers."

There are probably about 31 locations up and down the east coast by now, and they started out of Pittsburgh, which is, "Ta-Da!", home of the JW religion. If you're in Pittsburgh, you can even visit ol' CT's grave with the pyramid beside it.

I know you wouldn't want to give it away on here, but I had to give it a shot. That's how I roll.

By the way, thanks for bringing one to York, PA. It's always packed. Love it.

if you see any item you like please be in position to take it with you at that time, after you return to your congregation then you will make a donation of cash or check in the congregation contribution box designated for the support of the worldwide work.

When articles were slated to come out from "Apostates" of People's Temple in the San Francisco Chronicle, Jim Jones had airplanes on standby for the next morning to take off down to Guyana. He instructed his followers to pack their belongings, get their money, and head to the airport. "Persecution" was coming down upon them. He gathered his congregants into the flying "Arks", and set off for his own "Spiritual Paradise", right here on earth, down in Jonestown, Guyana. Once there, he had complete control of his sheeple. Behaviour control, Information control, Thought control, Emotional control, and also Spiritual control. We all know what eventually happened.

Funny, WT is building their own brand new shiny HQ up in Wallkill. More and more bad press is exposing them as the abusive charlatans that they are. So, now everything is being put to a halt, extras are being sold off. Time to move the truly zealous, die-hard, fanatical JW's up to WT HQ, and shut the "Ark" doors. Time to control everyone, ala 1984.

I shudder to think of what happens then. Here is the sign that hung from the pavilion at Jonestown:

Too Much Discontent in the Congregation Part 3

by Simon Templar in

now, 80-85 years later, we are still here.

if i was to do the counsel with a brother who had this much experience, i would have just thanked him for doing the talk, and marked him good on the point.

this is a good way to get money though.

I'm 36. I was told I'd never finish elementary school, much less enter or graduate high school. The May 1984 WT is forever seared into my mind. In the early 1980's, you could SMELL and TASTE the end; that's how close it was ! It was promised to the masses from the podium, during talk after talk. People never dreamed of seeing the year 2000 flip over in this System of Things, and now here we are 15 years after that date even? Time is a funny thing. Half my life ago I was 18 and had my whole life ahead of me. Now, I realize that I'm halfway to 72. That is really depressing.

All this stuff with Radical Islam and stuff happening in the news makes one wonder if Governments aren't ready to turn on at least THAT hateful religion, sparking off the Great Tribulation, WWIII, Armageddon? No. I study how bad world events and atrocities were in WWII during the 1930's and 1940's, and I think, "We're not even anywhere near those horrific conditions yet, so what is everyone so paranoid about?" World conditions are better than ever, yes there is bad, but nothing to rival past atrocities. (yet anyway). But then I think about the bible verse where Jesus said about, "you'll hear of wars, rumours of wars, and yet still the end will not come. For not the angels or even the son knows the day or the hour, but only the Father." (something like that) So really, what the hell is WT selling? No one knows the day nor the hour, so why keep pushing this fear-mongering?

Wait! Now I remember...........it's a Cult!
