does anyone have any stories about the way in which this manifested itself with people in their congregations?.

What the Mob Could Teach The Watchtower
by metatron ini was reading an account of the decline of the new york mob in usa today and found some .
parallels with the watchtower.. too much publicity and exposure: the 'teflon don' liked his armani suits and media.

Thoughts on the Columbine Tragedy
by SYN inhope the word "columbine" is spelled right in this post .

apparently, mtv is bad for your morals or something.

Brothers told to stop being wasteful!
by dmouse ini wonder what the real reason is behind this plea from the wbts.
perhaps it is more evidence of a desire to downsize?.
but they can't downsize the printing works if the brothers are being wasteful!
