Don't forget to add Dave Mustaine, lead singer and guitarist of Megadeth, was raised a witness in La Mesa, CA.

Yeah, well, when was the last time you heard of an 80-90 somethin' brother or sister getting the boot because they failed Jehover? Do the "older ones" in the hall really get df'd that much "in this time of the end?" Even if they did start spouting off weird ideas and saying the wrong answers at the hall, they would simply be thought of as losing their minds.
"Oh it's such a shame that Brother Annointed's mind is not the same as he used to be. Hopefully he will soon be with Jehovah and the other 136,000ish virgins in heaven. Wait a sec, is it 136,000 or 135,000? I can't keep track. How many does the WT say partook last year? I always get confused. Sometimes the number gets higher as the system draws close to the end."
In the end, does it really matter who the 144k are? I mean c'mon. Ask any of the annointed which tribe they belong to and they will just mumble something and walk away. THEY don't even know.

John the Baptist cave found? Does the WTS agree it is?
by catchthis inhttp://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/afp/20041205/sc_afp/israel_antiquities_religion_041205191050
i wonder if the wts will side with the doubting critics solely for what is said here:several crosses and a rough drawing of a severed head were also carved into the walls, illustrating john's death by beheading at the hands of herod antipas, ruler of the northern galilee region at the time.
on one hand, they would love to say with certainty that archeologists have found conclusive evidence, outside the biblical account, that jtb exisited.

On one hand, they would love to say with certainty that archeologists have found conclusive evidence, outside the biblical account, that JtB exisited. But in a catch-22, they would have to come up with some sort of excuse as to why crosses were carved into the stone walls.
Maybe a QFR is in order here?

Let's all show up at the Memorial - and gasp - Partake!
by AK - Jeff inhere is a plan to throw the entire organization into chaos.
many of the 'apostates' here believe in the ransom of jesus - and the command to partake of the 'communion' of the lords evening meal, right?
i have come to accept that that 'memorial' is simply a recognition of jesus' sacrifice.

who would want to drink that CHEAP WINE ?...screw top bottle stuff
Actually, there are quite a few vintners that are crossing over to screw tops. The reason is because of a chemical contaminant called trichloroanisole(TCA). This is where the term "corked wine" comes from. The wine gives off a moldy or musty odor.
So before you thumb your nose at a fine bottle of wine simply because it has a screw top, remember that the winemaker is simply looking out for YOU for your own enjoyment. Many still want to stick to the old ways of carving off the foil, twisting the screw and hoping that the cork comes out in one easy stroke. It has always been a routine and probably will continue to be, regardless of cork taint. Besides, most high dollar restaurants would lose the "corkage" fees of anywhere from $10-20 a bottle.
Catch, of the "wine freak class"

I'm not sure what jobs require a GROL either. But there are a few industries that would like to see a prospective employee carry one. I have seen a few job postings in the past where one of the requisites was a GROL. Usually a GROL can take the place of an EE degree with employers. If you know the stuff on the GROL test, then you must have been trained somewhere, either in college or the military.

There is NO annual service report in the Janaury 1st WT
by truthseeker inwell, i have confirmed rumors that have gone around about there being no annual service report for the january 1st, 2005 issue.. .
it seems, for reasons unknown, that the watchtower has ended another decades long tradition.
in the second study article for the january 1st, 2005 watchtower, entitled, "trained to give a thorough witness," paragraph 24 reads: .

Let's not forget the possible hit they took with the UN NGO membership withdrawal. That alone closed many figurative doors into a handful of countries. NGO membership could be likened to diplomatic immunity in some cases, thereby giving them the leeway to distribute the literature in tougher nations.

"We don't go by pre-Christian times. We follow Christian directives. God allowed a man to have more than one wife for a time but that is not allowable for Christians."
It is also hypocritical of most elders to pull the old, "The principle found in Leviticus says....so we must follow it" routine. In one case they say we should only follow what Jesus laid down as the law, but on the other hand, they use the "all scripture is inspired by god" rule and refer back to the OT and drag up those damn "principles." Blood is one that comes to mind.

I was never good at translating the really fast 'coders. I could catch enough of the letters though to make out the gist of the messages. Once you miss one letter and mistake it for something else and your brain farts, it's hard to play catch up. Thank god for wireless + encryption.
