the date: july 3-6th, 1986.
(a hot 4th of july weekend) this was the "divine peace" district convention.. location: the capital centre, landover, maryland.
usa.. my age at the time: 6 yrs old.. the wt representative giving the keynote address: none other than vp of watchtower, milton g. henschel.
Worldwide Security Under The Prince of Peace was released at that convention! The picture of Armageddon and it being the UN "Year of International Peace" convinced us that Armageddon was very near!
Also at the special talk earlier that year the revised True Peace and Security book was released.
For some reason the society put those books out of print and we don't get books like those anymore.
this is the scuttlebutt in one of the "bethel congregations" by us.. no details as to exactly what this "faith-testing" announcement might be.. anyone else hear any of this pre-zone visit hype?.

o m g...(yes that is a very childish reaction...but i couldn't think of a more appropriate expression!).
if you haven't yet read it...please do so..... it is so ridiculous!
so leading, so distorted, and full of "bait and switch" techniques.. "prove you have the truth"..by seeing how neutral witnesses were in war times?
tiki- you posted what I always say LOL!
Yes, "True Religion" is an oxymoron!
And yes, the wts acts as if it owns the word "truth". I agree-nobody can own the truth or lose it or leave it or come into it. Its cultspeak!
anyone have any leaks on this three hour meeting we are having early november?.

I wonder if the program will be put on jwtv?
i agree with the witnesses about almost nothing, but i do think they have the right idea when it concerns the 'soul'.
it is my belief that there is no such entity as a 'soul' that resides in a human being.
the idea originated in ancient, pre-scientific eras.
