Stealth Bookstudies... jeez they must be getting desperate. If the WTS was run like a normal corporation the Service department would have been all fired years ago.

I WENT TO THE MEETING LAST NIGHT!!
by Mary inwell, we had the co visit last night and some friends "encouraged" me to go.
i really didn't feel like it, but i wanted to see if there was any "new light" on the pedophile problem, so i went.
not a word mentioned about any internal problems; however, the borg now apparently wants us to dupe people into having a bible study without even knowing it.

129 Passangers Sucked from Plane
by Francois indid any of you see this story in the london times, i believe it was?
a russian-built cargo plane was taking zimbabweian army troups along with their families to a new location.
there was a catastrophic failure in the pressurization system which blew off the two giant cargo doors in the back of the plane creating a gigantic vacuum which sucked out every passanger on board, 129 people, at 7,000 feet - about a mile and a quarter up over congo i think it was.. this story made my skin crawl.. francois

The odd thing is that there are still people who are ardent supporters of that idiot Mugabe. I've run into them on the net. Curiously though, they are expatriots who probably would not want to return to a place where the money is only fit to be used as toilet paper, and where the gas pumps and bakeries have been dry for months. He put people on farms who had no knowledge of modern farming techniques. To make matters worse he didn't try and get the farmers who stole the white's farms any education on what they were to be doing. Its a sad state of afffairs when Tanzania is the sanest government in that part of the world.

Israelite tabernacle and temples....of pagan origin?
by Alana ini believe that it was the history channel that i was watching this weekend....it was about egypt--land of the gods.
in it is talked about the ancient gods of egypt and the elaborate egyptian temples.
then, it spoke of how when the israelites left egypt how they at first had their movable tabernacle and then their temples and how the set-up of them with the courtyards and the holy and most holy places were based upon the pharoahic worship and temples of the egyptians.

whether Hebrews came from Egypt is still sketchy at best. But they were close neighbors, and unlike Israel, Egypt had culture and a lot of it for a long time. Hebrews, on ther other hand, were nothing more then nomadic herdsman. Anything near Egypt was likely to be highly influenced by it (take the pyramids of Sudan, for instance or certain place names). Egypt is still influencing design to this day. It wasn't likely that Israel was going to develop an archetectural style from scratch. The basically had to choose from Egyptian, Phonecian or go out further along the Fertile Crescent. Phonecia obviously played a big part in it, but I'd bet its likely so did egyptian influences.

"Sverdlosk Midget" - a spooky case
by metatron init has been asserted that, after the fall of the soviet union, secret files from the kgb began spilling out, available to researchers.
and the blackmarket.. a growing pile of evidence suggests the soviets may have recovered a ufo and body parts of its occupant.
this evidence.

You'd think that these aliens, being at the very least HUNDREDS of years more advanced then us, would have developed better avionics, and some sort of abort recovery mode, because they seem to always be crashing here and their on earth.. Maybe Ilyushin builds their spacecraft.
You're safer in a Soyuz then an alien UFO, it seems.

How Russells Bible Students view Jehovahs Witnesses.

There are dozens of Bible Student groups, which probably reflects the way congregations worked in Russells time. They were far more independant. JW congs are just satellite feeds to Brooklyn.
http://www.webspawner.com/users/biblestudents/biblestudentlinks.html gives links to quite a few. Ive talked to some Bible Students online and even though we didn't agree on anything, I can say that they are absolutely far more open minded then the average JW.
P.S. C.T. Russell pick and chose his mysticism like a shopper in the grocery store. That's why the religion he developed is the unworkable hodge-podge that it is.

Robert mugabe's econo paratroopers (no shutes).
I feel bad about it, but LMAO. Seriously though, its a shame they weren't at high altitude when it happened. They might have mercifully passed out quickly.

Subtle or not, (and how subtle is Armageddon), the fact remains people allow themselves to be brought in and subjugated to a cult. For example, I love my parents, but I will never see them as innocent victims of a cult who made certain my brothers and sisters all wound up with emotional problems, screwed up personalities and poor educations. They made the decision to let the Society take over their better judgement. They chose to ignore the warning signs. I have no pity for that fact.
It's their fault as much as it is anyone in Brooklyn. And its up to us to undo the damage on our own.
