We had another thread (kind find it now) but it was a Corvin creation and it askied if you could say something nice about someone on this board who would it be.
I am going to take this opportunity here Brownboy. I may think your ideas are not correct but I have to say that your dedication and meticulous effort is admirable. If I had a business with a half dozen employees who are as meticulous, dedicated and passsionate as you at what you believe in we would be a Fortune 100 company in no time.

Brownboy you spend way too much time on this stuff. It looks like you had an answer in mind and tried to work backwards from there twisting and turning any which way you could to get there.
Sorry to be so blunt because this stuff is obviously important to you but you did ask for the opinion.

They must have billions...annual revenue alone was almost a billion last year. They must have close to 10 billion in assets and a large chunk of that is cash. If the world is going to end any day that cash is useless. Why not help the disadvantaged with it instead?
They always bitch and whine about the state of the world but they hold so much cash and have been hoarding it for years. Yes I know other religions are cash rich too but according to the WT the world is going to end any second. What good is all that cash? As a present to Jesus after Armageddon?
Maybe it is Jehovah's plan that all the abused ex JWs get that cash through the legal system and free up the WT's heavy cash burden so when they go into the new order it won't be like "a camel passing through the eye of a needle".

"we're just going to be dead" Dec. 1 2004 Watchtower
by metatron inthe latest watchtower carries a warning (pg16).
" what if there are some in the christian congregation who live double lives?
.... "one day one of them said to me:'it doesn't matter what we do now because when the.

What amazes me is that they think that somehow these words will stop those many JWs who are living double lives. It has been going on for a long time. Many of them live double lives because their are afraid if they leave their friends and family will be cut off. Many others live the JW double life so they can use the strictness of the cults tenets to control there wives and kids. A few useless words and an idle threat isn't going to change that.
It's all lip service from the WT and that's all it's ever been from them.

Did Rutherford believe what he wrote?
by VM44 inwho thinks "judge" rutherford really believed what he wrote?.
i believe it was in the salter letter where it is stated that rutherford said once that he had "bluffed his way through life".
think he also "bluffed" his way when writing and talking about "the theocracy"?

He could not possibly have believed his own BS if he also drank excessively and had extra-marital affairs.

Rutherford's use of the title "Judge"
by VM44 inas is well known, rutherford enjoyed using the title "judge".
his use of the title came from his filling in for a circuit judge for a few days total.. in his books, and the advertising of his public talks, the title "judge" was prominently used.. but.....when rutherford appeared in courts of law for various trials....like in 1918 for instance...was he referred to as "the honorable judge" then?.
when he spoke before the supreme court, did he use the title?.

I read in some literature a long time ago that Rutherford was found guilty of purjury and later lost his licence to practice law. I;ll see if I can find something on the net to link up on this unless someone else can find it. If it's true it's very ironic that the author of much of "the truth" got into trouble for lying in court.

Cigar recommendations?
by AlmostAtheist inhey all,.
i've only recently begun smoking and i find that i like cigars.
cigarettes aren't doing it for me, they burn up too fast and you have to keep knocking the ash into something.

Okay 10 dollar range you say? I would recommend a Dominican cigar as a distant a very poor runner up to a Cuban cigar but it's the closest you'll get until you get out of the U.S. for a vacation. Secondly, I recommend you don't cheap-out at the last second. Like most things in life: You get what you pay for. Lastly remember: It will be good compared to the cheep ones so don't get hooked.
If you ever get off U.S. soil then try the Cubans: Cohiba, Montecristo, Romeo y Julietta, and Upman. Those are my Cuban recommendations in order of ranking. Hand rolled are 5 times more expensive and unecessary until you develop your cigar experiences.
Also you will need a cigar cutter. The easiest to use and it gives a consistant hole each time is a bullet cigar cutter (looks like the shell part of a bullet - push it in and twist simultaniously.
I used to be into the whole cigar thing but I quit. All I have left is a souvenir special edition cigar vacuum sealed and still in a humidor. It cost 200 U.S. when I bought it 3 years ago. I quit before I had a chance to smoke it...it may very well be no good even though I had it vacuum sealed.
Which reminds me. Cigars dry out quick. If you spend money then smoke it or by a decent humidor.

Unfortunately for you Americans, you will not get the (legal) opportunity to experience a good Cuban cigar.
I will give you some caution my friend. When you start smoking cigars sooner or later you will realize that they are like a good wine or a good single malt scotch. You may end up constantly upping your standars as you learn to appreciate the attributes of a fine cigar. Worse tha the wine or scotch because it is more addictive. Yes the nicotine in cigars is highly addictive. The whole process could lead you down a road of dishing out big cash everyday for 2 or 3 cigars. Lucky for you the 75 dollar Cuban Cohiba or Montecristo cigars are unavailable but there are still some expensive non Cubans out there.
My advice to you is too resist trying the expensive ones of you can because once you try them....well you better have a big bank account. Unfortunately I do not have any recommendations for you under $7.50 U.S.
