New Light, the teaching that has morphed into Old Alibi
by FatFreek 2005 inas far as i recall watchtower's new light doctrine was conceived from the very first issue of zion's watchtower and herald of christ's presence, 1879. c.t.
russell used it then as an alibi for his failed 1874 and 1878 dates.
1874 was eventually replaced by 1914 and the rest is history.. well, they've been using the alibi ever since -- for the some 24 failed events that were supposed to happen in 1914 to the 49 failed dates over the years.. at the heart and soul of watchtower's "new light" teaching is proverbs 4:18, ".

Thought provoking words spoken by Christopher Hitchens
by Finkelstein inchristopher hitchens has passed now but he left some very thought provoking ideas regarding religions and the detrimental effects it has had onto humanity and will continue to have.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afqiiddsokm .
what he was basically saying here is that religion can and does impede critical inquiry about the world we live, about are selves and the universe in which we exist, all in an acceptance of varying spiritual ideology.

Congrats, Simona Halep!
by LoveUniHateExams insimona halep has just given serena williams an absolute ass-whupping, winning her first wimbledon title.. so i guess congratulations are in order.. but, i gotta say, if i'd forked out loads of money for a courtside seat i'd be a bit disappointed.
the match lasted just 56mins, with halep winning in straight sets 6-2 6-2.. surely, it's time for the women to play over 5 sets in grand slam matches?.

Serving where the need is nicer
by Xanthippe inso there isn't a congregation in my town, they come from the congregation about five miles away about twice a year to do fs.. this morning i was driving out of the town on the country roads and there were four jws (obvious by men with briefcases and women in very long dresses).
they seemed to be walking to the next place, a village about 15 minutes walk away.. why not drive?
they must have left the cars in my town!
