  C. T. Russell: facial hair, celebrated Christmas, did not go door-to-door, "unscriptural" divorce from Maria: brazen conduct, indeed!

  Sledgehammer subtlety: The insidious reworking of Micah 6:8

  by rory-ks in

  micah 6:8 might be - or have been - a favourite verse of many.

  the verse used to read:.

  "he has told you, o earthling man, what is good.

  Another word that doesn't fit the context is "loyalty." Chapter 6 addresses dishonesty and cheating, it is not a call for loyalty to the leaders (leaders whose corruption was condemned in Micah 3). From the NABR translation:

  "You have been told, O mortal, what is good,

  and what the L ORD requires of you:

  Only to do justice and to love goodness,

  and to walk humbly with your God.

  Only to do justice and to love goodness,

  and to walk humbly with your God.

  The LORD cries aloud to the city

  (It is prudent to fear your name!):

  Hear, O tribe and city assembly,

  Am I to bear criminal hoarding

  and the accursed short ephah?*

  Shall I acquit crooked scales,

  bags of false weights?

  You whose wealthy are full of violence,

  whose inhabitants speak falsehood

  with deceitful tongues in their mouths!

  I have begun to strike you

  with devastation because of your sins."

  Canadian hockey was awesome, total domination of the field. The best team won, no doubt about it.

  "History's Worst Predictions and the People Who Made Them," by Eric Chalin. Yes, C. T. Russell made the cut (so did William Miller and Joseph Smith), though J. F. Rutherford and Nelson Barbour have only a brief mention in the Russell chapter, and Fred Franz is conspicuous by his absence--even though the author cites several doomsday dates from the Franz era.

  Must admit, the Seahawks came to play and they kicked butt for all four quarters. Denver now owns four of the worst Superb Owl performances in history!

  Report it to the phone company. The pay phone is their private property, it is not a public bulletin board for others.

  "but then later down it says now is not the time to put our trust in human institutions (but the org is a human institution)."

  Are you saying the spirit-directed, annointed, Governing Body are mere humans? You must be an apostate!
