"Miracle Oil" ad in 1922 Golden Age

by processor in

"pastor russell's miracle wheat" is known, but has anyone ever heard of miracle oil?

i found this ad in january 15, 1922 golden age:.

i found a notice in june 24, 1922 new york times that "upper lubrication" of manhattan renamed itself to "upper lubrication co.", but that's all..

Blind Willie McTell

I wonder if Greenlees or Chitty used this oil?

Viv Mouritz

by Aussie Oz in

i am a little unsure why there is attention on mouritz.... i know his being moved to poland is of interesting timing and all.

but why is the spot light on him?.

is he suspected of molesting kids?.

Blind Willie McTell

Viv was in Finland for 20 years in the Branch.

Supposedly he is being sent to Poland to be the Branch Coordinator for 1 year.

And yes, it's just the timing of the whole move which is suspicious. The WT Society is devious beyond words.

Victoria, Australia: Results of November 8th Steven Unthank's Court Hearing

by AndersonsInfo in

re: results of november 8 court hearing.

yet again, all five cases remain intact and are still in the criminal justice system.

oh, how the wheels of justice turn ever so slowly.. .

I just checked and Poland does have an extradition treaty with Australia. So if they thought they could get Viv Moritz out of the country to Poland and avoid facing the court in Victoria, they maybe could have picked a better country?

TREATY BETWEEN AUSTRALIA AND THE REPUBLIC OF POLAND

ON EXTRADITION

AUSTRALIA AND THE REPUBLIC OF POLAND

DESIRING to make more effective the co-operation of the two countries in the suppression of crime by concluding a treaty on extradition,

HAVING DECIDED to conclude the present treaty and having appointed their respective representatives to this end,

HAVE AGREED as follows:

Article 1

Obligation to extradite

The Contracting Parties undertake to surrender to each other, subject to the provisions and conditions laid down in this Treaty, persons against whom the competent authorities of the Requesting Party are proceeding for an offence or who are wanted by the said authorities for the carrying out of a sentence.

As have been informed, new date of December 6 2011 has been scheduled. WTBTS lawyer only represented 1 party, watchtower Australia. Department of Public Prosecution asked for the extention due to new information being given to the Victorian Police and Department of Public Prosecution which includes the request for arrest warrants of many JW's. Mr Unthank is still seeking the arrest of WTBTS Lawyer.

Victoria, Australia: Here is what JWs didn't do--fill out the "Working With Children" Application Form

by AndersonsInfo in

here is a link to a .pdf version of the working with children (wwc) application form that steven unthank has put on his website.

very important reading material to understand the wwc act and to see the questions asked to those who wanted to comply (or not to comply) with the act.

the download link is: http://workingwithchildrencheck.wordpress.com/.

I should think Pioneers would also fall in the category. As a child it was very often that I was taken witnessing by a Pioneer, most often alone and not via the Group.

From the Website the questions to determine if you need a check are listed here. Also shown on the website is that "religious organisations" are included in the list of WWC List of occupational fields.

Do I need a WWC Check?

You may need a WWC Check if:

• you are working in paid or unpaid (volunteer)

work, and

• your work is in connection with one of the

services, bodies, places or activities listed in the

phasing-in plan, and

• your work usually involves, or is likely to usually

involve, regular and direct contact with a child

where the contact is not directly supervised by

another person.

If you answer “Yes” to each of the statements above,

you are doing ‘child-related work’. Some exemptions

apply. It is your responsibility to find out if you need a

WWC Check.

CERN claims faster-than-light particle measured

by botchtowersociety in

huh?.

cern claims faster-than-light particle measuredgeneva (ap) -- a fundamental pillar of physics - that nothing can go faster than the speed of light - appears to be smashed by an oddball subatomic particle that has apparently made a giant end run around albert einstein's theories.. scientists at the world's largest physics lab said thursday they have clocked neutrinos traveling faster than light.

that's something that according to einstein's 1905 special theory of relativity - the famous e (equals) mc2 equation - just doesn't happen.. "the feeling that most people have is this can't be right, this can't be real," said james gillies, a spokesman for the european organization for nuclear research, or cern, outside the swiss city of geneva.. gillies told the associated press that the readings have so astounded researchers that they are asking others to independently verify the measurements before claiming an actual discovery.. "they are inviting the broader physics community to look at what they've done and really scrutinize it in great detail, and ideally for someone elsewhere in the world to repeat the measurements," he said thursday.. scientists at the competing fermilab in chicago have promised to start such work immediately.. "it's a shock," said fermilab head theoretician stephen parke, who was not part of the research in geneva.

I hope they install this new particle in my Intel PC and then maybe Microsoft Windows 7 will boot up in less than 23 minutes .....

Hungary revokes JW Tax-free status

by Blind Willie McTell in

http://www.virtueonline.org/portal/modules/news/article.php?storyid=14742.

on 12 july the governing fidesz party with their coalition allies the christian democrats amended the bill, eliminating the tier system and recognising 14 religious organisations as churches.

hungary's 348 other faiths and denominations were stripped of their legal status as religious organisations and lost their tax exempt status and entitlements to state subsidies.. .

Blind Willie McTell

Seems the EU is making pressure for Hungary to repeal the law.

But the JW's do absolutely nothing for their tax-free income, no hospitals, no retirement villages for their old people, nothing. They are a true leech on society and I think they deserve to lose the tax-free rating.
