he commented on another site:.

oh, i must mention: when barbara and rud publish, they will shake the foundations of the watchtower society, and i will have to rewrite many parts of apocalypse delayed to fit with the newly revealed information.

i 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 in

this 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.

apologies 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.

toastmaster clubs are typically made up of local industry, technology, business and local government leaders and professionals.

BETHELITES - Whatever Became of?
by Black Man in
1. jw
2. friends
i 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.
