Governing Body Worship in the WT: July 15th, 2014 issue
by Oubliette inthe july 15th, 2014 issue of the watchtower has the "life story" of gb member gerrit losch on pages 17-22.. think about it.
this losch love-fest is 6 pages of the current wt!.
that's nearly 20% of the ragazine.. is this the beginning of a series of idolatrous articles indoctrinating jws with gb worship?

Ironic Photo: In God We Trust - 1909 Lincoln Penny on Mars
by Oubliette ini just came across this very ironic photo in a cnn news article of a 1909 lincoln penny which is covered in mars dust.
the picture was taken by the mars curiosity rover.. i find the "in god we trust" phrase ironic considering god had nothing to do with it.
it is the ingenuity and engineering brilliance of the men and women of nasa's space program that got it there!.

RESEARCH REQUEST: Need text of a Watchtower article from June 1st, 1998
by Oubliette ini'm doing some research for a biography and need some help tracking down a watchtower article.. the article i need is from the life stories of jehovahs witnesses series:.
josefsson, eva: w98 6/1 28-31i believe the article is tiltled, "sustained through terrible trials," but i am not certain.. i would prefer a scan of a hard copy of the original article, but a cut and paste from a wt cd would be better than nothing.
both would be golden.. as you all no doubt know, the jw.org "archives" only go back to 2000 (did someone just say "orwell"?)..

100 Years Ago Today: World War I Began - July, 28, 1914
by Oubliette in100 years since world war i07/28/14 07:44 am by timothy noah and johnny simon.
"one hundred years ago today, emperor franz josef of austria-hungary declared war on serbia in retaliation for the assassination one month earlier of his heir apparent, archduke franz ferdinand, by a serbian pan-slavic nationalist.
what might otherwise have remained a regional conflict between the dying hapsburg empire and one of its former holdings instead became, through a tangle of alliances and a global power imbalance, two world wars that began in 1914 and ended in 1945, with a 21-year intermission for the jazz age and the great depression.".

How to Wear a Pinkie Ring, by Stephen Lett, Governing Body Member
by Oubliette inalways the fashionista amongst the governing body members, mr. stephen lett recently showed us how even an older man can display a certain swagger, a certain je nesais quoi that says, "i'm one of the anointed, and you're not!".
he does this in so many ways, but the one i want to draw our attention to is the way he rocked the theocratic fashion world with his wearing of a very manly pinkie ring in a recent wtbts video.. - -.

Jesus and the Money Changers - Matthew 21:12, 13
by Oubliette init occurred to me that there is a particularly relevant scripture in connection with all the recent changes regarding donations, pledges, loans, tithing and all the rest:.
jesus entered the temple and threw out all those selling and buying in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves.
and he said to them: it is written, my house will be called a house of prayer, but you are making it a cave of robbers.

You Can't Argue With a Sick Mind
by Oubliette instill, it's an exercise in futility.. we want to (metaphorically speaking) shake the shit out of our loved ones tha are still intoxicated with and under the spell of the nonsensical theology of the wtbts.
but it just doesn't work.
so, to ease your frustration and maybe give you something positive to enjoy, i thought i'd share with y'all joe walsh's last live concert before he joined the eagles full time:.
