How Eco-Friendly is the Watchtower?
by donuthole ini have plenty of anecdotal evidence of witnesses going through life with the attitude of "we'll just clean it up in the paradise.
" i wondered if this kind of attitude was manifest in the bethel homes and factories.
is recycling something that the watchtower engages in at its facilities?

Got a visit from door-to-door JW's!
by donuthole intoday while i was home for a quick lunch break i got a knock at the door.
i opened the door and was surprised to see two elderly jehovah's witnesses women.
i haven't been called on since i've been out for four years, so this was a bit of surprise.

1914 A Significant Year - Not Just For the Jehovah's Witness Religion!
by donuthole inwas doing some reading on the teachings of the nation of islam (the religous group that malcolm x originally belonged to).
thought it was interesting that they believed that 1914 marked the end of 6000 years of the white man's dominance in the world.. previous research on the group informally known as the 2x2's or cooneyites revealed that their ousted founder, william irvine, preached that 1914 would be the end of the age of grace and a cut-off point for the saved and the world would enter a time period of judgment.. does anyone else know of any groups where 1914 is held to be a biblically significant date?.

Need References for Article I'm Writing re Spain Bethel
by donuthole ini'm looking for the following items for an article i'm writing regarding the current situation at the madrid bethel.. a scanned copy of the letter to the us congregation in 1990 regarding the "donation arrangement".
i have a vague recollection that something was said to the affect that the donation arrangement was a loving provision to help the poor who couldn't otherwise afford the literature to get a copy.
this isn't in the initial 1990 letter announcing the "donation arrangement", which speaks more about "simplification".
