  There's a bear sanctuary near Newberry. We were hesitant to visit it thinking it would be a tourist trap, but it was great. Highly recommend it.

  Restrictions on sanitation supplies at a$$emblies

  now that the grand boasting sessions are well under way, now is a good time to discuss what they are restricting on supplies there.

  the "one towel" rule is quite famous by now.

  however, i have heard scattered reports that they are rationing things like toilet paper as well.

  "I also remember the lines so long that one woman pushed herself past everybody in line and went in, pulled her underwear down and sat on a sink to use the bathroom. Honest truth, swear on a stack of Bibles. All of this happened at the 8 day long International Assembly in Atlanta in or 1967? or 1968?"

  That assembly was in 1969--I was there. The heat was vicious, and I had a 2-year old son. That's probably why he always hated assemblies.

  I remember long, long lines at lots of assemblies. There was one assembly where the bathroom attendant actually walked out along the line and asked if there were any "emergencies", and they could go to the head of the line. I thought that was rather kind.

  I remember an assembly somewhere where we were "encouraged" to not flush the toilet if you only had a little bit of pee and toilet paper--let the next person flush one time for two people. This was not an announcement from the platform--it was from the bathroom attendant, and I don't know if the person was given those instructions or if it was her own idea.

  I remember our circuit actually had the baptism at the local YMCA because the pool at the high school where they were holding their circuit assembly couldn't be used. This had to be 45 years ago.

  I'm keep hoping that I will some indication that the WTS is losing its strength--hoping that I could some day get my daughter back from the cult.

  Though it's not looking too promising, it helps to know that there are other people in the same situation and that I just need to be happy with the blessings that I have and not unhappy about what I don't have.

  They do this all the time. Make a blatant statement, then throw in a scripture that has almost no connection as proof. The term "Governing Body" is not found anywhere in the scriptures, but they use the term so often that I'll bet many/most witnesses think it has to be there.

  Yes. I just looked back a few verses, Heb:13:7, "Remember those who are taking the lead among you, who have spoken the word of God to you, and as you contemplate how their conduct turns our imitate their faith." I just don't like the word, "obey."
