1914 and the Mayan Calendar
by cameo-d inone thing i do find odd is that the federal reserve act came to fruition that year.. "the entire system was to be overseen by an appointed federal reserve board, based in washington, d.c. by 1914 a full complement of twelve federal reserve banks had been established...".
also odd, is the way the federal reserve act came about.
it was underhanded.

Fighting the Cult of the Watchtower Good or Bad? Does it Give Your Life Some Meaning?
by frankiespeakin inever since i left this mind control cult i have continued to offer resistance in what ever ways i thought good at the time.. but i'm faced with the question: is it good or bad idea?
or how far should i go and to what lengths should i go in my efforts to fight this cult?.
i think being a jw for 29 years has defined a large chunk of my life and to just try to forget about it may be a big mistake.

Oh Rutherford! Oh Rutherford! You wicked rascal, you!
by Terry infirst, pastor russell had joined adventist bible students in their enthusiam for end times chronologies.. next, russell teamed up with leading adventist thinkers like george storrs and barbour to publish these chronologies and apologies.. finally, russell used his private wealth to cut and paste ideas from all over the religious map into his own peculiar name-brand version of adventism which included pyramidology.. local congregations kept autonomy.
russell would have it no other way.
judge rutherford crept in to wrest control of the watchtower for himself and begin a new agenda which would transform local congregations of bible students into a cult of mind-controlled salesmen serving a religion of business organization.. this is what happened.. rutherford's key strategy succeeded in wresting a personality cult (pastor russell) away from "creature worship" and transforming it into a business concern or organization which could claim and demand loyalty in terms of statistical productivity (preaching and book sales.).

How long before you stopped believing armageddon was on your doorstep?
by bubba flavel ini was born into "the truth" back in 1964. i made the big mistake of getting baptised when i was about 14 or so, purely to please my father as i saw how proud he was when my brothers were baptised....didn't work.. we moved to a new congregation when i was about 8, he introduced all my brothers to the congregation by name, a short bio of thier endearing qualities and how proud he was of them, when he introduced me it was "and this is our black sheep of the family, steve".. i remember living in fear at the fast approaching 1975....actually, living in terror is probably a more apt desciption.
all of you will full well know how it was instilled into us at every meeting and assembly how we are living in the last days.. as a 15 year old, a brother dobbed me in for kissing a worldly girl at school.
went through the marked process, judicial committy, disfellowshipped and the shunning which continues to this day by what's left of my family.
