a thought on the united nations
by refiners fire inback in the seventies i recall the wt was always on about the un.. the un is going to turn on religion.
the un is going to assume a world dominant role.. of course the un was nothing back then,no big power, but the witnesses.
were always on about its coming role.. in the 80s the uns role seemed to fade into obscurity, not mentioned much anymore.. then in the early 90s george bush came along with his new world order.

About stumbling
by crownboy inhow many of you were ever "stumbled" as a jw?
i always thought that claiming you were "stumbled" was just an excuse to stop going to meetings etc.

JWs CAN CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS!
by Sirona inwhen a jw tells you christmas is pagan, therefore you shouldnt celebrate it, you can refer them to this article.
it is discussing wallpaper and other home decorations and what sorts are acceptable.. *** g76 12/22 14 are they idolatrous decorations?
so the christian needs to be primarily concerned about what?

How to wash your dishes properly
by spacegirl ini remembered the other day reading in an awake, oh it must have been about five or six years ago, an article on how to wash your dishes properly.
for god's sake, do jw's not know how to do that and do the borg think they have to tell them how to do it.
it's cracking me up just thinking about it.. to make you laugh even more, in the next issue of awake someone had written a bloody letter thanking them for the article and how it had helped them so much and had a query on whether to rinse dishes with water or not after washing.

Hubble Unveils a Galaxy in Living Color
by teejay inin this view of the center of the magnificent barred spiral galaxy ngc 1512, nasa hubble space telescopes broad spectral vision reveals the galaxy at all wavelengths from ultraviolet to infrared.
the colors (which indicate differences in light intensity) map where newly born star clusters exist in both "dusty" and "clean" regions of the galaxy.. this color-composite image was created from seven images taken with three different hubble cameras: the faint object camera (foc), the wide field and planetary camera 2 (wfpc2), and the near infrared camera and multi-object spectrometer (nicmos).. ngc 1512 is a barred spiral galaxy in the southern constellation of horologium.
located 30 million light-years away, relatively "nearby" as galaxies go, it is bright enough to be seen with amateur telescopes.

Christendom basically has it right!
by Amazing ini saw yadirf's post (formerly friday on h20) barking about how christendom still has it all wrong regarding the trinity, immortal soul, all going to heaven, hellfire, jesus dying on a stake and not a cross, etc.. it is obvious that such people as yadirf have never visited a regular mainline church or he would not make such absurd claims, the very same idiotic claims touted by the watch tower lying and deceit society.. most christians and christian theologians do profess the trinity, in varied forms, but it is not a matter of salvation to accept it.
likewise for the soul, hell, the cross, etc.. genuine everyday christians are far more concerned about living a christian life, doing good, and following jesus.
they do witness, though informally as the spirit moves them ... which is a far more caring, considerate, and successful method then the watch tower door-to-door system.

MAD AS A HATTER - C. T. RUSSELL ?
by freeman inim kind of new here so please forgive me if this has already been discussed, but has anyone given serious thought to the fact that poor old charlie, resting we hope in peace under his pyramid, was a victim of mercury poisoning; a victim as we are now victims of his religious delusions?
if true, this sure would explain a lot.. just a few quotes about the effects of mercury poisoning upon haberdashers, i.e.
hat makers such as c. t. russell was:.
