Deceptive or just wrong?
by johnnyc ini have been virtually non-stop studying everything i can get my hands on with regards the wtbts, and "apostate" literature and information.
in all honesty, 80% at least is non-sense and over critical.
however, i do find about 20% (if i have to create a percentage reference) is appropriate in its line of reasoning and questioning.

Congregation not sending the WBTS enough money ... *sigh*
by easyreader1970 inlast night one of the elders had a part in the service meeting where he informed the congregation that we are not sending our fair share to the wbts.
the congregation seems to be doing okay when it comes to contributing to the local congregation so that electric bills can be paid and so forth.
but when it comes to literature (the worldwide work), the congregation is woefully negligent.. according to this brother, a circuit overseer has recently stated that if witnesses still had to pay for their literature as they used to, individual watchtower and awake!

90 years ago today...
by sir82 in...in the 11th our of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, world war i ended.. the armistice was signed at approximately 5 am that day, but was not to go into effect until 11 am.
after more than 4 years of slaughter, after over 8 million military deaths (and more than 6 million civilains killed) and 21 million + wounded, senseless battles continued to be fought for 6 additional hours.
men were after glory, revenge, under orders from likely insane commanders, a myriad of reasons.
