... but we're not racist/prejudiced
by ithinkisee ini worked in the sound department for regional building committees, as well as in the congregations.. .
i did this on the east coast of the us, the west coast of the us, and south florida.. .
no matter where i went, the poor state of the local congregations sound system was always the fault of the spanish brothers.

144,000
by TIMBOB inthis is not so much a question as it is to make sure that i am thinking correctly.
the witnesses believe that 144,000 would rule as kings and priests in heaven and the end would not come until all of the 144,000 were in heaven, correct?
so, if this were the case and the witnesses kept a census of how many partook each year and are still doing that today, that means that back in the early 1900s they must of known that all 144,000 were not yet in heaven.

GOD IS NOT GREAT - Christopher Hitchens
by Dansk inapologies if someone has covered this already, but i'm a third of the way through this marvellous book which i'm enjoying more than richard dawkin's the god delusion.
the full title of hitchens' book is god is not great - the case against religion.
it pulls no punches and is extremely well written.

i find that it has helped me to be polished and professional when dealing with my employers clients, many of whom are mid to high ranking us air force officers and upper level ny/ nj state government people.. i occasionally use the toastmasters forum to educate people about cults.
toastmaster clubs are typically made up of local industry, technology, business and local government leaders and professionals.

BETHELITES - Whatever Became of?
by Black Man ini often times wonder what happened to certain bethelites that i ran around with during my 1990s tenure there.
while there are still a few left there, the greater majority of them aren't there for various reasons (marriage, disillusionment, left the borg, etc).
a couple of cats i wonder about - there was one brother who i believe was from kansas, who got his fingers cut off in a printing press.

"Organization will hinder all growth...."
by bob1999 inso who said this?
"for when the power of organization is once felt, it will soon be used to frown down and hinder all growth in grace and knowledge, and to suppress all teaching and teachers not in harmony with the errors and bondage of said unions.
the only union and bondage which god has ever authorized in his children, is the union between each individual and christ the head....."

NEW policy! NO LIT for EX-JWs!
by MinisterAmos init's official; they read the letter tonight that puts forth the new procedure.
if you find an expelled person in the field or are studying with one, you are no longer permitted to give them lit.
presumably the elders make a decision if an expelled one is regularly attending meetings, but only they can give them lit.

I saw "knocking"last night--my review
by Junction-Guy inwell thanks to one of the members here at jwd, i was sent a copy of knocking.
i watched it last night with the exception of a small segment that i will finish out today.. .
the actual film itself was a puff piece meant to instill sympathy, and it did that well.
