When/If the society accepts Jerusalem's destruction in 586 BCE...
by B_Deserter in607 and 586 are 31 years apart, so adding 31 years to the witness timetable makes the end of the gentile times 1945. i guarantee you that if this happens, the watchtower will try to tie in the end of world war ii to this.
they'll say that the world wars were a culmination of the old world, a conclusion, and since there haven't been any world wars since (fingers crossed) that proves that we are now living in the last legs of the old system of things..

I found Jesus in the falls on p 93 live forever book!!
by cultswatter ini always heard comments that there were faces and other objects in the falls on p 93. now i think i have finally confirmed this.
i scanned page 93 using only 300 dpi scanner and did some colour correction and sharpened the image a bit using photoshop .the result is surely jesus and there is also a face of a young kid below jesus.
now i think that the falls image contains a plurality of peoples faces, some people are standing and others just see the face only.. you can clearly make out a gash in jesus forehead.

I was jogging with my brother a little while ago...
by R.F. in...and i have a new found appreciation for moments like these with my loved ones.
i'm not blaming this completely on the borg, but i've realized lately that i didn't spend much time with them.
between all the meetings, door to door field service, and preparing for these, i didn't have much time left for anything.

Another thought on the upcomming changes...
by changeling inwith the public talk being shortened, the "members only" wt, and the bombshell in the sept.km comming up, i was wondering:.
has the society given up hope of bringing in new ones in affluent countries (with the exception of the foreign language field)?
are they thinking that they have to hover around those already "in", and not lose them because, now that they have access to info on the internet, new ones are just not going to "buy" the message?.

Daniel-P's Convention Experience
by daniel-p inwell, i'm here at the convention, and boy is it a dozer.
all the speakers blur together - they all sound like the same exact person with their superficial emphasis on the "key points.
" today was a tad juicy, with the "stay away from the demon-enhanced apostates" symposium and the "you don't need an education to scrub toilets, jerk" talk as well.
