Paradise Pulped
by wobble indear all,.
this may have been answered before,but a quick search threw nothing up,my question is,why were congregations,some years ago, asked to collect in from all jw's and send back ,along with library copies,all editions of the book "from paradise lost to paradise regained" ( pub.1958) ?.
what was so embarassing in this book that they wanted to pulp the lot???.

went to see Altar of Mithras today.
by wobble init's funny,but i always felt uncomfortable entering a church when i was a witless,being born in it was programmed into me that this was a place of false religion.. today i went to visit a beautifull church in stone-in-oxney in kent (uk).
this church houses a roman altar that was used in the worship of mithras,before christianity came to england.. in the old days i would have taken this as proof that the church is just an extension of pagandom etc.
etc.. but today i was pleased to see the artifact safely housed,to appreciate the beautifull building within which it sits,and to feel some 2000 years of man trying to get closer to god.. the altar,or "stone" which gives the place its name is unique,and only in the church to keep it safe,not least from the vagaries of english weather!.

A Dictionary of Doctrine
by wobble inwhat we are seeking to produce here is a collection of simple , pithy, succinct definitions of doctrines, so here goes:.
1) immaculate conception- this is where the act that caused a pregnancy was done in a very clean, neat and tidy way.. 2) trinity- this is the doctrine that trinni knows all,and susannah even more, it is a mystery.. (trinni and susannah are {were?
} style gurus in the u.k , that was the mystery, how did they get to be ?).

Vatican to be SUED over child abuse,Pope to stand as witness.!
by wobble inthe guardian newspaper (published in london uk) reports (mon 15th dec page 23) that a class action is being attempted against the vatican (in the 6th us circuit court).
because "its officials were involved in a deliberate effort to cover up evidence of sexual abuse ...".
"case centres on a 1962 directive from the vatican telling church officials to hide sex abuse complaints against clergy".
