those pictures of Jesus beardless are CLASSIC! LOL I got a good chuckle out of them
As to your post Terry-- wow! thanks for enumerating all that Christ has NOT done for the WTBTS. Is there anything that he DID do?
Hmmm...... I think not.

An honest report of the accomplishments of Jesus since 1914
by Terry innot much.. he is directing the watchtower society to print magazines that contain errors.. the goats he separated from the sheep have had to be put back in with the sheep because of policy changes.. stray sheep have been ostracized and turned into lamb stew.. the war to end all wars (wwi) has been followed by wwii, korea, viet nam, and the cold one.
(no need to mention the war on terror.).
there have been earthquakes, famine, disease and a lot of marrying and eating at fine restaurants.. 1925 came and went without any ancient worthies moving in to the residence at beth sarim.. the world got so dangerous in 1975 nobody noticed it.. the generation that saw all the signs and wonders had been dropping dead like flies.

7 things we probably should not stop thinking about
by Terry inbelieve what we will, we still live in the real world and what happens to us proceeds from confrontations unavoidable.. the christian scientist can die from an illness which (to him) does not exist.. the hindu can starve to death in a pasture full of sacred cattle.. the jehovah's witness can sell his house and pioneer full time as he tears the pages from his 1975 calendar in exasperation.. and many is the parent who prays for mercy over the child who dies.. to think or not think is our choice.
the content of our thought can be real or illusory.
the progress report comes at the end of each day as we lie in bed and count the costs of our beliefs.. .

Honestly, I can see zealous jdubs applying these lyrics to.someone out in the world. I remember feeling enlightened to "truth" when I first started studying, as if the blinders were removed. Wow! How I loved Jehovah and was so thankful for knowing him. those same blinders were removed after TTATT. Theselyrics, could have easily sung themas a jdub.
Now, I am thankful for learning TTATT. Noone wants to seeve lies. but TTATT... well, i was not enlightened, no miraculous world opened before me. It's almost like when I was baptized. "So what?"

4 Letters from the Branch read tonight, no warning from this site
by James Jackson intonight at our meeting we had 4 letters from "the branch" read at our meeting.
i was caught off guard since we usually have an advance warning when these letters are going to be read.
is the watchtower getting better at hiding these letters?.

Ouch! Spot on gingerbread! I've been thnking about the nature of conversations on this forum, and I know I've got mixed up in that mess you described. I'm trying to step away from that mindset.
This forum provides lots of updates but I don't expect it to do it all the time.

"you're pretty compassionate for an atheist"
by Hortensia inmy favorite compliment of the day.
what a lot of assumptions people have about what makes an atheist tick..

I understand why someone would say that. Misconceptions sbound. Im not an atheist. I believe there was a Creator. Im not sure if I believe that he is God. I don't understand how atheists could have different beliefs. Basically, you reject the existence ofthe Creator and God. There's not much to say after that.

Konceptual- there's no way to.make sense of the overlapping generations teaching. When you try, it just sounds nutty no matter what you do. Maybe they are trying to define the overlapping generations teaching. Doesn't matter either way-- It's buffoonery!
