what will the GB do when the UN next changes
by ballistic ini must say i find the way the jehovah's witnesses draw parallels between the beasts of the revelations and organisations such as the un incredible.. when the united nations was brought into being from the league of nations, they still managed to twist scripture to accommodate this.. well, the un has had some tough times over the last 10 years.
what when it reforms as something else (as it most probably will sooner or later)?
will they find another beast from somewhere else, or drop it alltogether?.

this is bad.

Who Here Feel Strongly?
by ballistic ini feel so mad because of what i went through for the "truth" i just want to shout about it.
i'm not mad with the individuals, some of which are genuine, mostly good, and nearly all mislead.
i just view the whole organisation like a run away machine, gone crazy, dangerous.

Speculation Society
by ballistic inmost people view the bible either as "a good book" or "god's word" and some disregard it alltogether.. i think, though, that russel and others of his time went beyond what most people see the bible as.
as i read through various russel stories, i got the impression that he thought the bible contained some kind of hidden code.
dates and figures carefully interwoven into the texts, which when cross referenced and applied maths supplied dates for the 2nd coming, or the end of the world.. i would suggest that the whole of the modern day society is based on the premise that the bible contains these hidden messages which were "sealed up ... for a later time".. i hope i am not stating the obvious, for certainly the society have set various dates, and subsequently changed their beliefs.

How Easy Was It To Leave?
by ballistic inwhen i was df, i actually wanted to return which isn't suprising when you look at their brain washing: * http://www.escapefromwatchtower.com/mind.html.
i think it took me a couple of years to fully get over it and now the scripture "like a dog returning to it's vomit" comes to mind.. i gather some people here came to their senses while still in the org.
did anyone actually find it easy to leave?.

My paranoid conspiracy theory....
by ballistic inthere was a boom in cults starting up at the start of the last century.
do you think russel, with his masonic and zionist influences constructed a purely money-making "pyramid" style religion?.
it is interesting how the pyramid even influenced his early teachings.. i see a parallel between him and what's his name that started dianetics, ron hubbard.. interesting how some witnesses became involved in their own pyramid schemes, also.. i wonder if russel ever left the truth about this, perhaps, "sealed up unto the last days" in an envelope entitled "new light", not to be opened until some later date?.
