Question re tower logo at Bethel (NYers??)
by comment ina friend of mine in new york just told me that the big tower logo on the side of bethel is no longer there.
instead, there's a giant neon sign saying "watchtower" and a digital clock.. how long has this been the case?
does anybody know why they got rid of the tower logo?.

Dear Prudie comments on JWs (?)
by comment ini think it's pretty safe to assume that the letter-writer is referring to jws, unless it's mormons.
i liked the sentence in the response that begins: "it has always interested prudie...".

Good ol' dress, grooming and entertainment
by comment inwhen did the phrase "dress, grooming and entertainment" become such a mantra for the watchtower society?.
this may just be my impression, but in the late 1970's and early 1980's, there didn't seem to be a part on every district convention and circuit assembly program about "dress, grooming and entertainment.
" but in the 1990's, there sure was.. even as a faithful witness, i started to find this emphasis a little embarrassing.. i mean, couldn't there be something more important to worry about?

My brief WT article with almost all WT buzzwords
by comment infine counsel--how does it benefit us today?.
1. fine, wholesome counsel has a happifying effect.
it educates and benefits the great crowd of overcomers, whose steadfast reliance on jehovah and the spiritual food from his organization truly is a cause for rejoicing.. 2. too, suchlike ones manifest their support for god's arrangement by regularly assembling at christian meetings and submissively acknowledging the headship of spirit-appointed elders.

All-time classic phrase from WT literature re: 607
by comment infrom the book "let your kingdom come" (1981), appendix to chapter 14, page 186:.
"business tablets: thousands of contemporary neo-babylonian cuneiform tablets have been found that record simple business transactions, stating the year of the babylonian king when the transaction occurred.
tablets of this sort have been found for all the years of reign for the known neo-babylonian kings in the accepted chronology of the period.".
