A class mate and a friend had a encounter with Manson family. In the 60's my friend was a member of the US organization (the group the started Kwanzaa). My friend invited me to one of it's recruiting program, but I was on my way to Vietnam and the group was too radical and revolutionary. Manson was looking for group to start his racial war, my friend group was on the FBI list. So one night my friend and a few members returning home from a US meeting encountered the Manson family exiting his home. My friend had weapons in his home but nothing was taken. They didn't realize who he was until later when he (Mason) and his family was arrested.

The end of this system is so very near.....NOT

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

world headquarters of jehovah's witnesses - warwick, new york.

“yes, the end of this system is so very near!

is that no reason to increase our activity?… reports are heard of brothers selling their homes and property and planning to finish out the rest of their days in this old system in the pioneer service.

And I thought the wine-O that approach me in the street work (1973) was nuts, "You are out here bugging people and selling those magazines for the big men back in NY who is living large".. No way I told him, you will see in two years..

Is the husband the head of his wife?

by Doug Mason in

how do we explain the marital role with what paul said in 1 cor.

“but i want you to realize that the head of every man is christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of christ is god.” (niv).

read a few chapters earlier at 1 corinthians 7 to see what paul does say about the relationships between husband and wife.

The only reason God created man first, He needed a rough draft before he made a final copy......

by Boredposter in

i heard many times when i was a witness how much "learning the truth" helped people.

many have been said to have become much better people.

addictions were given up.

Did it make me a better person, lets see..What do you call someone who thinks they can do anything and believe he knows everything and everything they do is right but others are wrong..

the article says that the dead chickens are given to the poor but i was told that the chickens are thrown into the garbage.

(who could possibly eat a chicken full of sin?).

Speaking about chickens I was told by a very knowledgeable JW, "KFC serve mutant chicken breast, they serve meat from mutant eight legged chickens".

here is a fascinating subject.

according to the bible , one of adam's first assignments was to name all the animals including the sea creatures and dinosaurs of course.

we don't know how long this took but, as all witnesses know, the time period is crucial in working out the timing of armageddon).
