Where did this "God lives in the Pleiades" notion come from?
by james_woods inthe other thread with this name in the title made me think of it again.. i know the witnesses used to say this - and for sure, there are other religions that think this as well.. the fundy-baptist preacher that my sister got to do my fathers funeral made a big deal of it during the service - (why, i cannot fathom...).. so, can some kind scholar here give us a short course in why this particular star formation is so most holy?.

Seven new Saints announced - 2 from U.S. - Mother Teresa overlooked.
by james_woods inrather ironic, i thought - the day after italy put the earthquake scientists in jail:.
http://apnews.myway.com/article/20121021/da21tb6o1.htmlthe word on mother teresa is that yet another verified miracle is required by the rules.the inside word is that there is still too much negative contraversy made my a number of women who worked for her.it just seems that this current pope is never - ever - going to be popular to even a fraction as much as the previous.

I have decided that the "amatuer status" of Olymic Athletes is bogus.
by james_woods ini am listening to the "outrage" over how the u.s. basketball team totally swamped the nigerian team.. they are accused of being "professionals" and of "running up the score".. well - here is my observation: none of these athletes are really, truly, "amatuers" - all of them have some kind of sponshorship or support.. so did the ancient greeks - they were essentially government employees of their day.. let's get over it and let the best athletes play the best athletes.. if the u.s. can beat uzbekistan in football, so be it.
if the gdr can beat us in target shooting, so be it.. i agree with no drugs - i agree with no men dressed up as women, but this "amatuer status" thing is bogus - and not a part of the ancient tradition either.. rant over - i leave you to your scheduled programming..

OK, I am too old and missing it - but what is this SPARLOCK phenomenon?
by james_woods inat first, i thought it was some legitimate cartoon character (disney or such) that the society was putting down as "demonized".. then, i started getting the idea that perhaps (unbelievably) the society had made him up as a negative "teaching device" to warn jw kids about "worldly demonism".... can this possibly be true?.
surely not even the wtbts could be that stupid!!!.
can somebody explain this to me, please???

My exScientology friend...
by james_woods ini have a friend who backed out of scientology way back when hubbard was still alive.
we go to lunch together quite often here at work.
we have often commented about the great similarity & difficulty between breaking away from wt and from the scientologists.

When exactly did the Bible Students fixate on the Jehovah name?
by james_woods ini thought i would start a thread on this in conjunction with the other one on the pronunciation and use of the "jehovah" name.. my premise is that the very early russellites, while being aware of the "jehovah" name, were not obsessed by it as are modern jws.. could some student of jw history again enlighten us (for the record) of how and when this "jehovah fixation" occurred in this religion?.
