It is interesting to speculate about what would have happened to the WTBTS if Pastor Russell had been on board the RMS Titanic. Or even better yet, the choice of apostates everywhere, J.F. Rutherford.

Pastor Russell's Imaginary Sermon
by Leolaia inthis is an essay i wrote a while ago:.
pastor russell's 1911 visit to hawaii: the case of the "imaginary sermon" .
walter martin, in his bestselling kingdom of the cults, alleges that pastor charles t. russell regularly lied about his evangelistic activities -- particularly, by reporting that he spoke publically in places where his ship only briefly stopped for fuel.

willyloman brought out some good points. It comes down to having enough "critical mass" to effect the split or force reform by sheer numbers of folks rejecting the WTS. That can only happen if somebody starts the ball rolling. So far, there has been little to no indication that this will happen, despite all the great rumors since the old days of H2O and even before that in the early 90's. exjwelder makes a good suggestion, but it would take more than just one or even two CO's to overcome the enormous spiritual inertia in this organization.
I am not totally skeptical that this could work, in fact it would be an answer to many fervent prayers. Just the fact that this can be talked about is some relief. But action would be better yet.

The problem is getting a sizeable enough amount of JWs to split off within a very narrow timeframe. Otherwise, its open season and the WTS can easily pick us off one by one for apostasy.

Which way will the Society go because of the Internet?
by be wise ini've only learned the truth about this society over the last 5 months or so, so i'm not sure what the difference is to say - 2 years ago.
do you think the society will now get even more cultish in it's methods of teaching and more heavy handed if they feel things are slipping?
i don't feel i'm being over the top here because i've experienced very heavy handed talks at the assemblies and kingdom hall in the past that are just plain scare tactics but this just makes people ask more questions ??

The GB, Corporation Officers, Senior Writing Staff and James 4:17
by IslandWoman in"therefore, if one knows how to do what is right and yet does not do it, it is a sin for him.
every individual who is a member of the gb, or a corporation officer or a member of the senior writing staff and who knows what is right yet does not do it is sinning before god.
you have left the love you had at first, jehovah himself.. iw.

The speed of reform has been glacial. Hope you have a long lifespan ahead of you. I'm not going to hold my breath just yet.

The ten best ways to disrupt a District Assembly:
by czarofmischief in1. have an apostate food truck outside with free burritos and shasta cola.. 2. wear a smurf costume and run across the stage.. 3. bikini car wash across the street.. 4. have an old-school breakdancing session on the corner, cardboard and all.
bonus if you do it on a mat made of watchtowers and primary colored book covers.. 5. have a garage sale or flea market in the neighborhood during the afternoon session.. 6. sit in the audience and applaud everything that anybody says - try to get a standing ovation for each sentence of the closing prayer.. 7. put a recording of rap, heavy metal, or other forbidden music on instead of the kingdom melodies.. 8. get fifty of your friends to walk around in the stadium during the session, holding signs that say, "louder please!
" and "take your shirt off!

Healing yourself in UV rays
by Pleasuredome inisn't it nice to get a blast from the past from wts literature?
here's two great quotes i found recently, about how we can benifit from sun bathing, and how mankind can't go into space.
golden age, sept. 13, 1933, p. 777> -- "the earlier in the forenoon you take the sun bath, the greater will be the beneficial effect, because you get more of the ultra-violet rays, which are healing" .
