  The Society debunked the rumored new light on the F&DS in 1973

  by Leolaia in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this is the summary of the rumored new light from the 2012 annual meeting, as posted by cedars.. the faithful and discreet slave was not appointed at pentecost 33ce, meaning that there has not been a continuous line of members of the slave class on the earth down through the ages.

  the slave class was only appointed for the first time by christ in 1919.the faithful and discreet slave is a small group of anointed brothers during jesus presence serving at watchtower headquarters who are directly involved in the preparing and dispensing of spiritual food.

  the individual members of the governing body are not the faithful and discreet slave.

  Rutherford's smear campaign (a must read)

  by Leolaia in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  there has been some interest recently about the moyle case, and how it may have set a precident in what became the society's disfellowshipping policy.

  in july 1939, the chief legal counsel of the watchtower bible & tract society, olin r. moyle, resigned from his position in a protest over conditions at bethel and rutherford's mistreatment of workers.

  he did not want to continue living under those conditions and he felt he could effect positive change for his brothers by taking such a stand.

  Why the Memorial Is Held on the Wrong Day

  by Leolaia in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  tonight on the evening of april 18, 2011, observant jews worldwide will celebrate passover seder, a night "different from all other nights".

  the watchtower society annually schedules the memorial for jehovah's witnesses on a date that is supposed to coincide with the jewish observance of passover, as it would have been reckoned during second temple times (in particular, in the first century ad during the life of jesus).

  this year the memorial was observed last night, the evening of april 17. the two religious observances are thus a day out of synth, at least this year.

  2. entertainment

  this thread is very simple.

  post youtube vids of your favorite songs released in 2010 (whether as a track on an album, or a single, or as a video, debuted on the radio or tv, or what not).

  it could be of any genre, whatever you like, the only rule is that it has to be a recently released song.

  Jackie Evancho (wunderkind singer)

  by Leolaia in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  i haven't seen any threads on the board about jackie evancho, unlike the many i saw when susan boyle was on britain's got talent, so i thought i'd share this for our friends across the pond who may not have been following america's got talent.

  and like susan boyle she was the clear favorite going into the finals, but unexplicably wound up as #2.. i edited all four of her performances into this video.

  yeah, she's ten years old.

  Bad Apple (from Touhou)

  by Leolaia in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  this may not be new to some of you, but i am really loving the latest touhou video meme, which bases itself off of the original 8-bit theme for stage 3 of "lotus land story".

  the past touhou memes have been so epic, like the un owen was her/mcroll'd one from 2007 and 2008, and the whole cirno stuff (baka baka baka) last year, but i'm so impressed by what has come out of niconico douga since november surrounding the "bad apple" song.

  just blows me away.. the original video game music from 1998:.

  Warning to laptop users

  last week i got an unsightly first-degree burn on my right arm.

  when i first noticed it, i had no idea where it came from.

  it first looked like a big red welt on my arm, swollen and red, but with unusually sharp edges -- i didn't even realize that it was actually a burn although a few days later it started to look more like one.
