The WTS a religion or a commercial enterprise?
by greendawn indo you think the wts is behaving like a religion or like a commercial enterprise (operation) that is aping religion in order to derive profit out of it?

Need some JW literature? Try this... :)
by GoingGoingGone ini got an email from a friend today describing some strange happenings at the meeting: .
" my wife was in the back room with the kids today and there was this guy who my wife later described as a little "scary looking" for some reason and was carrying an empty "bowling bag" (whatever that is.

In what condition are your roads where you live?
by JH inhere in quebec, the roads are horrible.
not only in my town, but the whole province, the road infrastructure is falling apart.. just to give an example... on the street where i live, the road wasn't paved in 40 years.
much of the city is like that, and all you see is pot holes, patches, and huge cracks everywhere.. you'd believe that they don't want to pave just before armageddon....would be a waste of money

Nebuchadnezzar NOT KING in 607 B.C.
by rockhound inthe watchtower society certainly has had much to say over the years about king nebuchadnezzar destroying jerusalem in the year 607 b.c., and over 6 million loyal followers have accepted their every printed word as if the very finger of god had written it in stone and had handed it directly to editors of the watchtower magazine.
well, it would seem, that someone back in brooklyn doesn't know whether they "are a foot", or "horseback".
over and over, the soceity uses a.k.

Barf Quote
by cosmic ini read a thread recently by stillawitness in which this person mentioned a "barf quote".
the term didn't seem extraordinary at the outset, but, throughout the day, i kept giggling and chortling over the term.
people would ask me what was "so funny", and all i could say was, "barf quote".

Extra, unrecorded king(s)...ONLY possible explanation of the facts
by AuldSoul inmrs. congeniality gave us this: easy math for 586/587, which is a stripped down version of alleymom's kiss method.. the upshot of this reality is that for 607 bc to be correct, a king or kings must have reigned for 20 collective years before jehoiachin's exile (a.k.a.
jeconiah) in 597 bc and be missing completely from the record.. the reason for choosing this date as pivotal is two-fold, (1) the number of years between the exile of jehoiachin and the destruction of jerusalem is known and was entirely covered by nebuchadnezzar's rule, and (2) the time that passed from jehoiachin's release until the restoration is known.. why could not jehoiachin have been exiled in 617 bc as the wts asserts?
because, if that were the case, babylon was destroyed in 559 bc instead of 539 bc.
