The Grape Cure (Cancer) WTS
by blondie inwhen i was growing up, if a jw was diagnosed with cancer (or a non-jw family member) they would start eating grapes.
being a jw born in the 50's, i had never read anything in the publications on this (or the danger of aluminum--another story), so asked where they had read it.
if anyone has the golden age or a scan of the endorsement by fred franz, that would be nice.. http://www.premier1.net/~raines/ruthoccult.html.

Anyone for mischief?
by bagpuss ini grew up in east yorkshire and november 4th was mischief night.
we would do all kinds of crazy things like removing peoples gates and hiding them, knocking on doors and running away - you know the kind of thing!
the great thing was we never got into trouble, after all everyone knew it was mischief night and expected to get up next day and find their garden gnomes missing!!!.

"Witness Humor" *or* "Jehovah Jollies"
by GetBusyLiving indid you guys ever find that dub's laugh their heads off at the corniest stuff?
sometimes during the meetings they would all just burst out laughing at the lamest jokes or comments.
for the life of me i could not understand what they found humorous.

Urgent scan request! Imperial Bible Dictionary!
by ithinkisee inmy wife was appalled by the misquote in the reasoning book under cross - where the society quotes the imperial bible dictionary.. more information regarding this misquote is located here:.
http://www.geocities.com/athens/parthenon/7831/cross.html.
she is not convinced though - because she does not have an actual scan of the actual page to look at.. (yes, i have already tried contacting the author of that website - to no avail.).

How would you answer?
by bagpuss ini have just started reading 'reasoning from the scriptures with jehovahs witnesses' by ron rhodes.. one of the suggested questions to ask a jw is,.
if jehovahs witnesses are the only true witnesses for god,and if the witnesses as an organization came into being late in the 19th century,does this mean that god was without a witness forover 18 centuries of church history?.
can anyone remember the 'official' line on this and if you had been asked this as a jw how would you have responded?
