Is the WTBTS having cash flow problems?
by JW GoneBad ini was at a 2 day circuit assembly this weekend and i was surprised at how many times mention was made directly or indirectly reminding those in attendance (1,600) of the need to give $$$.
even in the soliloquies or skits they seemed to work in the need to give $$$.. it made me wonder if the society is having 'cash flow' problems and hence is desparate for cash.
over the years that i've attended conventions and assemblies the need to give $$$ has been subtle (imo), til now.

Speaking of Freeminds - they could use a little help
by Lady Lee inlike most webpages that provide support to us freeminds, a leader in providing information to ex-witnesses for years now, could use a little support.. i'm not asking for money (although i'm sure that randy, like simon, could always use some money to keep the site up).. write a review go to the http://www.freeminds.org/ website and scroll down.
on the bottom of the right hand column there is a green box that says review of free minds.
this group great nonprofits helps groups get government funding so they can continue the work they are doing.. if you have recieved help from free minds inc. please write a review for the website.

Churchill ordered UFO cover-up, don't pee in yer pants WAC
by Dogpatch injust think how religious doctrine would change if we had irrefutable proof of aliens visiting earth.
an even greater mental holocaust would occur if an alien's body was found.. now, 30 years ago i would not have thought too much of it, but the potential reality now is a tad frightening!.
aside from many new jobs created for theologians on staff at major bible colleges, (i have candidates in mind!

1975 For Deniers
by Farkel in1975 for deniers.
most of today's jws were not members in 1975 or in the 9 years prior to 1975, so they were not eyewitnesses to what really went on during that period.
i was a pioneer in that period, and i was an eyewitness to what went on.. those jws who are still active today and who were around in that period will typically say it was the "brothers" who "ran ahead of jehovah" and "read more into" the 1975 prediction than what was actually stated.
