More "Fred" Speculation
by Stephanus infred hall is one of those necessary evils that occurs in any discussion forum with any depth.
whatever his true status within or outside the org, he performs as important service.
in opposition to his stated purpose, he galvanises the "apostates" on this board and hardens their resolve to "fight the good fight" against the wts.

Why Another 1975 Scenario is Unlikely
by Stephanus ini note that (the brothers) some are speculating that 2005 now exists as the dubs' next "final" date to work towards.
at this point in time, i can't see it being an effective carrot for attracting people outside the witnesses.
basically, things are too good.. 1975 probably looked like a great date for the end, because so much had gone wrong in the early 70s; the post wwii "long (economic) boom" came to a screeching halt, the first of the "oil shocks" occurred, the us was losing the vietnam war and looked like it could lose the cold war with the ussr.. interestingly, while the jws were getting off on bad events in the world at large, so were certain elements of mainstream "christendom".

my friend (who looks pretty rough) walked up to them and gestured to the older lady "you - ***k off!

Mixed Signals
by Stephanus inmay 22 awake!
has typical article on terrorism; trouble is sign of imminent end, etc, etc.

Art School JWs?
by Stephanus insome years back i went to art school for a year, and life drawing was one of the subjects.
although the prospect of perving on naked women was at first appealing, it soon became evident that sex-drive is a left-brain function while drawing is strictly right-brain.
iow, drawing naked people was just plain hard work, and it was the only thing that was hard!

Procter and Gamble - The Myth
by Stephanus ini never cease to be amazed at how much the jws resemble the pentecostal movement - especially the fear of demons.. that they have adopted the procter and gamble myth should come as no surprise therefore; i first heard of it from a pentecostal friend.
the whole thing sounded suspicious to me; i advised caution or that he at least contacted the company before boycotting their products (to no avail, i might add!
) i would advise anyone who perpetuates this myth to stop doing so; it can get you sued!.
