Here's my justification for lying to the elders, should that showdown ever occur. The Watchtower has created a system that violates a basic human need: access to family and/or friends. Therefore, I would have zero moral compunction in telling the Watchtower's company men what they want to hear.

Well said, Open Mind - a very powerful and succinct statement that cuts right to the core of it.

dear friends:.

forty-five years ago i was out in service with an elder, and we came upon a house where the owners kindly received us.

this was not so unusual as the family was jehovah's witnesses.

Mike, you must be quite a person for CoCo, one of our outstanding citizens here, to bring attention to your situation. I send you my good wishes that you remain strong and positive despite whatever follows. You are not this thing inside you, and it can never overshadow your true essence, which is ever peaceful and serene. Feel that serenity now and let that be your touchstone throughout each day. Peace ~ poppers.

Anyone noticed a curiosity on the Memorial Invitation for 2013 ?

by EdenOne in

i can't scan the memorial invitation for 2013, but i was looking at it today and noticed something curious on the front drawing.. we have jesus as the central figure of the composition.

to his right and bottom, a large crown, in colour, of shiny happy people of diverse origins.. separated from this by the figure of jesus, is another group, a much smaller one, on the left and as if ascending to the top, and grayed.. clearly portrayed in this group is the face of ct russell and apparently william tyndale.

but then, also sarah and abraham and other personalities of the ot seem to be represented there.

I wonder who Jesus's hair stylist is.

Good one. No doubt it will be OK once Easter has come and gone to purchase and then consume them. Love the "peep show".

Participated in a night time helicopter rescue exercise while in the Marines -

Threw a rock at Marine One helicopter as it carried President Nixon over me at Camp Pendleton - (then I noticed a spotter team on a distant hill and was scared they'd catch me; they didn't)

Was named Marine of the Month - LOL!

Rode a bicycle 115 miles in one day - oops, that's 4 things.
