Weird "end of world" convention advert left in my door yesterday.

    I just got one of these on Sunday. I was walking around a touristy seaside town--in 38°C weather--and saw two witness women holding up the leaflets. I don't know how they could bear standing out there in the horrendous heat. I decided to take a tract out of curiosity (it's in Chinese and it's the first JW item I've seen since moving to Taiwan). The branches listed on mine are quite a hodgepodge: Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Australia, Brazil, Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Kenya, Malaysia, NZ, Philippines, Thailand, and the US.

    I'm curious: The right hand photo on the back shows a closeup of Asian audience members. Do the tracts from other areas of the world show different ethnicities in this particular photo?

    Has a scan been made available? If not, could one?

    Mine also had a picture of what looks to be an Asian girl taking notes. I live in N. Dallas, and the assembly it is hawking is in Fort Worth - we have some Vietnamese family members in my house, and almost all the JW door visits I get are from the Vietnamese JWs. Coincedence?

    Oh, what a bother - it is for the 23rd. I have an invitation from my Ferrari dealer to come watch Michael Shumacher return to Formula One for Ferrari Team as a substitute driver for Massa (who was injured in qualifying some days ago) on that day. Super big screen provided by local video events professionals, free beer...

    Guess this will be one of those tough "Prince Charles" decisions for me - let's see now: Princess Di - Camilla - Princess Di - Camilla...

    This thread needs pictures...I will volunteer a Ferrari Testarossa if I had picture posting rights...

    JWoods,

    Instead of being a "walk-away" survivor of armageddon, I'd picture myself driving one of these past all the other dubs-on-foot:

    Good thing armageddon has taken so much longer than expected. In 1975, I would have probably chosen one of these goofy klunkers:

    Pacer

    Is that yellow car a Porsche 928? Sometimes it is hard for me to tell the difference.

    Here Beks and I were just debating whether a Ferrari would still be a Ferrari if it looked like a Rambler (Sarah Palin stuff) and you have to come up with this...

    BTW, how did you post them? were they JPG pix?

    All of them say to "keep watch with prayer".

    Luke says:
    21: 36 But keep watch at all times with prayer, that you may be strong enough to come through all these things and take your place before the Son of man.

    Think I'll stay with Jesus' words. [JW fearmongering is contradictory.]

    Thanks for the scan, Hopscotch.

    I'm going to conduct an experiment, If I can get this copied and printed. I'll report back, if successful.

    One side note though, as I studied that cover art...I guess women in pants won't be able to survive the end of the world...

    Yeah, but who would want to spend eternity with Hillary Clinton anyway?
