I pricked up my ears this morning at the news that a young mum is in the running for the next President of Iceland.
Thora Arnorsdottir says "Life is an adventure, sometimes you should let it surprise you".

I suppose the Governing Body and JW's will see it as one more sign that Armageddon is just around the corner, almost here, just a blink away, especially when they read that "in the wake of the banking crash, many of the male politicians in Iceland were voted out and replaced by women.
The current prime minister, Johanna Sigurdardottir, is a gay woman with children from her previous marriage to a man; the speaker of parliament is female and the first female bishop was inaugurated last Sunday....
...Indeed the country has already had a female president, Vigdis Finnbogadottir, who was the world's first democratically elected female head of state in 1980. "
And, elderelite, it looks to me like Thor most defnitely looks after his own! See what happens when you use his name!
When I think of the Circuit Assembly last autumn, when the DO gave a speech about not defaming Jehovah by using names and expressions derived from pagan gods, I cannot but smile!
