i was completely out by 1991 and 1989 would have been the last time i had to attend regularly.
that over the top franz writing style was still there in the 1980's although i've heard he wasn't actually doing much writing by then.
but his style was definitely picked up and imitated for many years beyond its wacky, outlandish peak of the the 50's - 70's.
Vienne,
As a matter of interest, I believe the writer you are referring to was dismissed from Bethel service for breaking an engagement. It was a sad story and an act of passion and foolishness on his part. The 1975 change on breaking engagements was put into place because of him.
(apologies for the typo in the title.
"teaching" should read "teachings".
i misread vanderhoven7's most recent post as being the above.

usa politicians in charge of the economy for the past 50 years were too stupid to understand how the economy works.
this just proves my theory, that an education on the top tier universities just sucks and means nothing in the real world, unless its in the stem education.
for 50 years usa had zero tariffs on other countries.
Dagney...without giving myself away, I have been in the auto parts business for 47 years. These tariffs are creating the worst price hikes I have seen in my lifetime. So far, the company I am affiliated with is only raising prices in the teens percentage wise to start but even then they will be devastating to the end user who can ill afford to pay for repairs on their automobiles in the current economic environment.

liam...your entire post is a LIE. The 2024 tariff on Butter levied by the Canadian government was 11.38 cents per kilogram which is about 5.2 cents per pound. Don't take my word for it. Here is the tariff schedule from the Canadian government that you can check out for yourself. cbsa-asfc.gc.ca The 300% tariff only kicks in if more butter is imported than was agreed upon by the two countries. In 2024 Canada imported over a Billion dollars in cheese, milk, cream, butter and whey from the United States.

will this statewide investigation eventually include the watchtower leaders/co-conspirators who hampered police?
only time will tell...."a pittsburgh-area member of the jehovah's witnesses has been sentenced to up to 30 years in prison for repeatedly sexually abusing two children, state prosecutors announced on friday.the pennsylvania attorney general said 67-year-old marc brown of allegheny county was given 12 to 30 years in state prison after he pleaded guilty to felony counts of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, aggravated indecent assault, endangering the welfare of children and related misdemeanors.. brown was one of five men charged after the 49th statewide investigating grand jury heard testimony about several jehovah's witnesses members who sexually assaulted children.. prosecutors said brown was a member of the congregation when he assaulted the children dozens of times between 2004 and 2006. according to testimony that grand jurors heard, brown groped the children, watched them shower and would sneak into a bedroom at night to assault them.

i swear, you can't make this shit up!
for years and years growing up in this cult, i had to constantly hear from my parents, from the stage, in the literature, about "keeping your eye simple", not being "materialistic", not "having a showy display of one's wealth.
" of course, this never seemed to apply to the wealthy business owning elduhzzzz who ran and lorded it out over the congregations, but i digress.

"What's your point?" My point is that in 35 years of watch collecting I have held dozens of real and fake Rolex's in my hand and have sold both. Only a FOOL would make a 100% positive claim of the genuineness of a watch without having it in their hands in order to examine it. Are you referring to me a Watchtower apologist? If so, that would be another ignorant and unfounded claim.
