MOBY DICK was a flop ....
by compound complex intoday is the anniversary of herman melville's birthday - 1 august 1819. his famous story of "the white whale" was not a commercial success - the adventure was too long in coming, some one hundred pages into the book.
he was not "discovered" until the 1920s [he died on 28 september 1891].
other works by melville are: mardi, white jacket, published in 1850, pierre (1852), israel potter (1855), the piazza tales (1856), the confidence man (1857) and billy budd (1891).. it was a strange twist of fate that when he jumped ship around the age of twenty-one [he was on a whaling ship headed toward the pacific] he was rescued by cannibals, who, departing from usual custom for mr. melville's personal benefit and that of future generations of appreciative readers, were more prescient than hungry.. call me ishmael.

Why 6 Billion People Deserve to Die in Armageddon
by Leolaia injehovah is such a righteous, merciful, loving god -- slow to anger, overflowing with loving kindness and blessing.
yet it somehow bothers many of you that he will shortly execute his judgment on mankind and wipe out 99.9% of the world's population, as if that somehow is supposed to conflict with his loving qualities.
personally, i have no idea why many of you feel this way.

Mere Children who are Disfellowshipped
by BabaYaga inthis was inspired by another thread, where freetosee told of a young witness baptised at the tender age of 9, and disfellowshipped at age 12!!!
the mind goes wild at what a 12-year-old should ever be disfellowshipped for.
how would a kid be so unrepentant they would deserve losing their family and friends?

BoE "Porn" Letter... what if it isn't "convenient"?
by Scully ini was just reading the boe letter dated june 7, 2006 regarding pornography.
here's an excerpt that made me go "hmmmmm".. next, the body of elders should determine whether the brother still qualifies to serve.
he may continue to serve if his involvement consisted of (1) a few brief viewings, (2) he displays a heartfelt desire to desist from looking at pornography in any form, (3) the elders are convinced that he will refrain from viewing pornography, (4) he continues to retain the respect of others who are aware of what he did, and (5) his conscience allows him to do so.

Demonism and the Watch Tower, by Roy D. Goodrich. Anyone seen this?
by VM44 inin 1969 roy d. goodrich published a book, "demonism and the watch tower" that contains information about strange electronic medical devices used by "doctors" at brooklyn bethel.. it appears that rutherford himself supported and endorsed the use of these quack electronic devices that also had a tie in with occultic practices and beliefs.. roy goodrich complained so much publicly about these occultic devices being used at bethel that he was disfellowshipped!.
this book today is impossible to find.
has anyone here seen a copy of it?.

Is it possible for the WT society to ever convince us of true reform?
by james_woods ini got to thinking about this and for me anyway, they would have to come clean on at least the following things:.
an honest retraction must be made on all the ridiculous chronology (of course including the false prophecies).
by this i mean, stop this psuedo numerology stuff of adding up this or that date, adding on x many years, etc.
