Satire has been used effectively throughout history to make very serious, valid points and effect reform by ridiculing foolish, hypocritical, and arrogant behaviors. Aristophanes, Horace, Shakespeare, Jonathan Swift, Lord Byron, Sinclair Lewis, James Thurber, Aldous Huxley, Mark Russell...the list goes on. All of them have used satire effectively to make their points, and some have even effected change. Perhaps it isn't overnight change, but sometimes satire gets people thinking about a situation in a different way than they normally would, it opens their minds a bit so that they can see other possibilities.
So satire, when properly executed, can be quite effective. Hopefully this letter serves the purpose of opening some eyes to the hypocricy. And even if it doesn't, it's damn funny. ;)

I just did a search at Switchboard.com for Watchtower in Brooklyn NY and here are the results. Kinda interesting what category they are listed under. I just tried calling information here (Detroit, MI - TalkAmerica is my provider) and was given the same response - no listing. Interesting.
Cheers,

Actually I went to the Troy, MI congregation for awhile and Himmler's grandson and his wife attended that hall; she makes jewelry and created my friend's engagement ring for her. I think they go to the Port Huron, MI hall now?

if you've never carved pumpkins- it's a blast!!!.
and then: pumpkin seeds!!!!!!!.
I have a pumpkin recipe to contribute. It's not for everyone, but this is one of my favorite Autumn meals:
Pumpkin-Bacon Soup
Ingredients
1/2 large onion, chopped
1/2 pound of bacon, chopped
(2) 15-ounce can of pumpkin
2 cups water
4 cups apple cider
1/4 cup brown sugar
4 cubes (2 tsp) chicken bouillon
1 Gala apple, unpeeled and chopped
Dash of liquid smoke
Sea salt, to taste
1 1/2 teaspoons white pepper
1/3 cup crystallized ginger, chopped
5 Moonbello sized (about 2 1/2 inches in diameter) mushrooms, chopped and crumbled
Lightly saute onion, mushrooms, and bacon in large pot (I used a cast iron pot with a lid) for about 15-20 minutes. Add pumpkin, water, apple cider, brown sugar, chicken bouillon, apple, liquid smoke, salt, white pepper, and crystallized ginger to the pot. Cover and simmer for 1 hour. Stir frequently. Puree in food processor or blender. Serve with sour cream - one dollop on each serving, and warm crusty bread.

me with fishbone!.
http://www.seattle-chat.com/charlie/hempfest/day%201/ - rest of the pictures for day 1. http://www.seattle-chat.com/charlie/hempfest/day%202/ - rest of the pictures for day 2 lots of pictures of fishbone.
Hey I seem to recall that one of the guys from Fishbone was raised JW. Or is my memory faulty?
hello, i am new to this board in a way.
i have been reading messages for about a month now and just got the nerve up to register an account so i can give my "two cents" once in a while.
i was raised a jw, but just recently expressed openly that i do not have plans on associating with them any longer.. anyways, not going to type my story out right now, as i do not know if any one wants to hear it.
Welcome Blackrose! :)
i live near some really interesting stone circles derbyshire england, i love visiting this place, i even went late in the day when it was dark, just .
to get the feel of what the place was all about.
some people talk about the personality of each stone circle, strange!
Mulan....Avebury is one of my favorite places on earth. Ironically, I went there with my JW friend and her family - her father an elder and of the anointed. It's one of her favorite places as well. And there was definitely an "otherworldly" sense the entire time I was there, despite my skepticism - that's one of the places/experiences that has prevented me from becoming atheist - those sort of things just won't allow me to abandon all belief. Thank you for the photo - it's a welcome sight this morning. I spent all last night dreaming about my friend - I lost touch with her six years ago when I left the Borg and it's one of my biggest life's regrets. So seeing something that we both love really hit the spot today. :)
Cheers,
