Another Meg Ryan movie, this time paired with Kevin Kline. 'French Kiss'. As much as 'Mail' is good, I prefer 'Kiss'.
On the same level as 'Mail' is 'Sleepless in Seattle'
Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler in "The Wedding Singer"
Hugh Grant in 'Love Actually' and 'Two Weeks Notice'

Dedication of JW Buildings
by Incognito ini have seen witnesses make a big deal over attending a dedication ceremony at a new kingdom hall, assembly hall or bethel branch.
i have attended a few myself.
as a witness, i had always understood that this ceremony is to dedicate the building's use to the worship of jehovah by 'true christians'.

Ooops! Sorry, my post was accidentally posted before it was ready!
OTWO said: ...a dedication could be well-intentioned at the time it was made, but further developments and circumstances change things.
My point exactly! The WT make and enforce all these rules for their followers, but they also make escape clauses for circumstances where it suits them.
Their meaning of 'Dedication' is applied one way towards their followers, but may be applied differentently when used elsewhere and they want it to have a different importance.

In our area, we've heard some JWs call such places 'a goat's pen', ie: where the Goats are kept. So much for 'Love your Enemies'.
Thanks for your reply.
I realize they are only buildings but I was lead to believe that Dedication was a forever promise. That's what were are told, even if we find factual evidence that proves the WT/JWs are not the 'Truth'.
If such building dedications are conditional on who owns the building, what really is the point of the Dedication Ceremony? Isn't it a given that any Kingdom Hall, Assembly Hall, or Bethel building is to be used for God's service, as long as the WT/JWs own it?
We were told that a rented stadium or school was to be viewed equivalent to a KH for the time that the assembly or convention was being held. No Dedication service was necessary at the start of any assembly.
As a long term 'Fader', I'm not attempting to argue the matter but only wish to raise a point of discussion.

Lifted trucks
by free2beme innever fails, if i see a lifted truck ... it will 100% of the time be driven by a short man.
seems like the shorter the man, the higher the lift on the truck.
even saw a truck today, that was lifted, the 5'2" man had a eletric step that came down for him to get in.

free2beme asked: I just wonder, is this truly an example of making up for short comings?
Not necessarily making-up for height though.
I've heard it often asked: 'I wonder if guy's who drive big vehicles are really just compensating for something else?'

Hi All,
I have seen Witnesses make a big deal over attending a Dedication ceremony at a new Kingdom Hall, Assembly Hall or Bethel Branch. I have attended a few myself. As a witness, I had always understood that this ceremony is to dedicate the building's use to the worship of Jehovah by 'True Christians'. This Dedication is in effect, a gift and promise to Jehovah. Perhaps my understanding of the Dedication is incorrect.
It is becoming a frequent occurrence that WT & JW buildings are being sold, to be used for other purposes. It seems not much consideration is given to its dedicated purpose as often, buildings are being sold to other religions to be used as a place of worship. Since all religion other than JW's is considered false religion, doesn't such use go against the dedication of the building to Jehovah?
Does the building's Dedication have no meaning whatsoever?
JW's might say that they have outgrown the building or it no longer meets their needs and that it's just a building with no 'Holy' status. Although I agree that bricks, wood and glass has little importance, it's the Dedication ceremony that has significance as in effect, it transferred ownership to God as God's house. What right then does any man have to sell the property? Is Dedication considered conditional?
When you or I learned new information showing the WT is not God's organization and the teachings are not the 'Truth" (the JW religion no longer meets our needs), if we stop attending or pursue other interests, we are punished for going against our Baptism (outward show of Dedication to God). It is held against us for not keeping our promise to God as we're expected to forever follow WT dictates as God's commands, no matter what we learn or believe.
Has anyone else considered this? What are your thoughts?
Does anyone find it ironic that a JW, past or present, who may have participated in building a Kingdom Hall, might be taken to task over only being seen entering it or for providing a service to it (ie: repairing the roof, exterior painting, grounds keeping) if the same building's use is a house of worship by anyone other than JW's?

I believe to post photos, you need to host the photo on a photo hosting site and then paste the link to the photo within your posting on this site.
Another thing thats driving me mad is not being able to figure out how to quote in a box???
Highlight the words, sentence, paragraph, etc that you want to show as quoted, right mouse click COPY. This copies the highlighted text to the clipboard.
In your 'Post a reply ...' box below, click on the spot where you want the quote to be placed and then drop down the Drop Down menu box that normally says <Styles> to show <Quote>. Click this and a quote box will be inserted into which you can right click > paste the text you previously copied to the clipboard.

Bohm asked:
A man has 2 children. He tells you one is a boy born on a tuesday. What is the probability the other is a boy to?
The answer is zero probability (less than half).
The riddle states ONE is a boy, therefore the other child is a girl. The day of the week is irrelevant and stated only to throw you off.
What do I win??

Generation 'New Light' is Actually Working
by zoiks inas ridiculous as it seems to me and most of you, the infamous 'generation' update has every jw that i know in a tizzy.
they're all worked up about how 'exciting' it all is.
i just received a letter from my mom (she only communicates through letters now), and she brought it up - how they carefully explained it at the convention, and how it shows that we are so close to the end.. unbelievable.

Gayle,
Gayle said: ... receiving of this inheritance would be in my children's lifetime, because their generation 'overlaps' with my generation.
I guess if you had children when you were quite young, and they had children when they were young, and their children had children when they were young, you potentially could be alive to be a Great Grandmother.
It appears under the New Light definition, since the start of each subsequent life span overlaps yours, your Great Grandchildren would be of your generation.
Forget about you, your children or their children receiving that inheritance.
