It would do well to remember this quote:

This is the only full length photo of me I could find, but it was taken about 1968, when I had more hair.
Of course, that was 50 years ago, but you can see the resemblance ....
*coff*
 

 
 

....sigh ... I sure miss that car ....
 

======================================================================================
My only comment on this post was that they might win ANOTHER Telly Award, Billy.
=======================================================================================
And the "Lloyd Evans Propaganda" you refer to ( mis-spelling his name.... ) was ONLY a screen shot of the ACTUAL JW.ORG website posting. ... without comment of any kind.
You are PROJECTING again,Billy.
I suspect, like any presumably sane Witness, you are deeply ashamed of the GB's self aggrandizement, but cannot bring yourself to believe they really did something so self-serving and world class stupid.
I fully understand that.
But, since you have brought up the scandal, whereas I did not ( a very important point, methinks ...) I followed the link you posted, but probably did not read in its entirety, as I did .... and found these excerpts:


Again Billy, you are defending the indefensible, and projecting more wide screen than CinemaScope.

Actually I do not giggle... I laugh out loud at HIS obsession. 
It's HILARIOUS!
( in a creepy sort of way ...)
I never noticed such things existed .... and since I found out (courtesy TPT ...) I have never seen any, anywhere.
...and I don't remember the Bible saying anything about ridiculous clothing ... like a Jew wearing a skirt, with tassels on the bottom with alternating bells and pomegranates, as an example, and walking down the street with a phylactery bumping you in the forehead.
Now THAT is the stuff of comedy routines!

You bring this up so frequently (and HOW old are you?) that I have become curious over something:
Please post a full-length photo of yourself.
If, as I suspect, it shows you wearing spray-on pants, that will explain a lot.

Do your handlers know YOU are visiting "Apostate Websites", and reading everything, in order to find such things?
Have you told YOUR Elders you are doing this?

THAT was worth preserving for history !
Here is a .jpg !

Wouldn't happen - too much would have to be referred to the Service Desk and the lawyers. Forget it.
 

The lines would get jammed by GiBbering idiots!

Of course this would never happen. The org. is not some kind of talk show or democratically run establishment.  You either take it or leave it.

Is this the best reply you can manage, Billy?
 
ANOTHER false flag?

Please remember that before accusing others of foggery and mopery, with mirrors.
... could be worse ... we could both be proctologists for the grossly obese.

From an Engineer's or Detective's viewpoint, that is a VERY easy question to answer.
Just look at the TRACK RECORD of those who claim they have insight on the divine secrets, and tabulate how may times they have been right ... and how many times they have been wrong.
I does NOT get any simpler than THAT.
 

What is the context of that question?  Can you please rephrase?
And who, specifically are you addressing?

Perhaps that was the reason I didn't suggest his book was proof. I think I purposely worded it something like this:
Why would I be speaking of "proof" if my whole point was based on how we nearly always lack proof? As I said a little later in the same post, that I agree with you that nothing is "proven" here. These topics live in a world of conjecture, opinion and sometimes, hopefully: evidence. Even with evidence, there is the hurdle of interpretation to get over. This isn't mathematics, geometry, etc.
There you go again!
Quite an uneven comparison. Should I suppose that's really your answer to how you know for sure Covington had a drinking problem? Because I would be a faithless cynic if I didn't believe he was DF'd for a drinking problem? Faith in who? You? Because your word is as sure as that of the Bible when it speaks about Jesus?
You seem to have no problem being posted here, and you have repeatedly called this an apostate website, too. As long as we are speaking truth to the best of our knowledge, truth shouldn't hurt anyone in the long run. Truth can hurt in the short run. But at least it's always better than falsehood, which is what most of those sites are known for.
I would never believe that, much less say it. You evidently haven't read what I say very carefully.
For someone who has been known here for blatant examples of "projection," did you perhaps just provide an explanation of your lack of care? Not claiming you did, but your imputed motives are often fairly disgusting, and you may have just been hoisted by your own petard! Can't think of another reason at the moment why you have seemed to obsess on unclean thoughts.

I get it! Like a duck's bill.
As in: A duck goes into a bar and tells the bartender: "Put in on my BILL!"
I should add that, considering the circumstances, I think Brother Quackenbush was sweet and brave at the same time for the funeral talk he gave for Covington. Brother Quackenbush was a very just and loving brother, in my opinion.
