  I am just stating an opinion. Whether any of you agree with me really doesn't matter, I don't claim to be an expert, I am not looking to write a book about it or start a website. It's just a freakin opinion.

  You guys seem to want to pick my opinion apart, but don't address my questions. Doesn't it seem odd to any of you how these events played out? I don't deny the moon landings or the holocaust. Why should I? Neither of these played out with events that I consider to be questionable, especially the holocaust. Things with Bin Ladin could very well have happened just like they say, but the story just seems odd to my skeptical side.

  Does my frame of reference regarding dna come from watching TV? Probably, but not from some crime drama. More likely from a based on fact documentary. Doing a quick google, it seems I am not the only one asking that question regarding dna. I would like to know where these tests were conducted. Seems to me a sophisticated laboratory is needed.

  And doesn't dumping his body so quickly not seem odd to you guys?

  BTW Cheezits, you are right about ol Clint. But FYI, I have been told that I look like him more times in my life than I can count.

  Six,

  I don't know how it could be pulled off. But I'm not discounting that it couldn't be done. All I'm saying is that there are just too many things that don't sit well with me. You brush off the DNA thing, but that is what first caught my attention. Doesn't it seem odd to anyone else that they were able to get that done almost immediately? In every other situation I have heard about, even when having the info quickly is critical, it seems to take weeks to get it done. I think it is very relevent.

  Why do I have to be an expert on this whole thing to have an opinion? I just doesn't sound right to me.

  And how do you know that's Clint Eastwood over here to the left. Maybe it's my picture.

  Doesn't it seem odd to any of you how this whole thing has played out? First we hear the announcement that he's been killed. Fine. Next they've already got DNA proof it is him. I dare say if I asked any one of you before this happened how long it took to get DNA results, what would you have said? Be honest. And then in what seems to be just hours later we are told he's been buried at sea. Why? Why didn't they just leave him there if they were going to do that?

  I'm not one to buy into conspiracy theories, but all these things have caught my attention.

  Don't all you ex-JW's know that the reason it is termed "special" is because they give the same talk everywhere at the same time? We all know there is absolutely nothing "special" about the information,

  So he's killed, they prove it ia DNA in what seemed to be a matter of hours, dumped his body at sea a day later, and now refuse to show the photos for what I consider weak reason considering what has been done in the past. I say it never happened and it was just a ruse to get Turmp out of his hair. If it ever comes out that it was a fake, then the shit will really hit the fan.

  To be honest, I am amazed at all you posters who accept this as fact.

  How did that MYSTERIOUS transition from Russell to Rutherford happen?

  by Terry in

  "judge" josephh rutherford helped pastor russell draft his last will and testament.

  as legal advisor this was fitting.

  russell never stated that they were to only publish his writings.

  Thanks again Terry for another enlightening post. The info about the comments MacMillan made very much interest me. He was a close friend of my grandparents, and I now feel that the reason they stuck with Rutherford in the big schism was because of that friendship. His comments are very telling IMO.
