Mormons vs. Jehovah's Witnesses
by Downtowner in
1. jw
2. friends
forgive me if this has been covered before but i haven't seen anything about it recently.. in exploring the two faiths, mormons vs. jehovah's witnesses, which were both founded in the 1800s with the mormons being slightly a slightly older religion it seems mormons is a more attractive religion than jehovah's witnesses.

do not get me wrong, i'm not looking at joining the mormon church.

but i still enjoy studying other faiths and different belief systems.

i think i was lucky living here in toronto.. we had an incredible fm station called: cfny 102.1. also, across the lake and a bit inland, was buffalo, new york's magic 102.5 (wmjq-fm).. there was a time here / there, where british music was so rampant ... in a good way.. any bands or acts that you recall.. yes you brits; we know while at those silly assemblies, you were in your ford cortinas and vauxhalls, listening to "top of the pops".. i'll admit, i found that show, lame.

over here (canada) we gave little known british bands, ample air time.. toronto-buffalo (1989-1991) was a hotbed of fm activity.. you brits...and other expatriates.

lend us your ears!

ALERT FRON BETHEL (this may be it)
by Hiddenwindow in
1. jw
2. friends
a prominent bethel elder shared this information with another elder: there are some bethel workers who have been invited to leave bethel, but are refusing to do so and are taking the society to court while still residing in brooklyn.

if this is true, this could be the reason behind the sale of brooklyn property.

Can you celebrate your 100th birthday when you are a JW?
by blondie in
1. jw
2. friends
as a devout jehovah's witness, mrs. merle is prohibited from celebrating her birthday.

but a week from tomorrow, relatives and friends will flock to the camoset village country living mobile home park in johnstown to attend a super bowl party that just happens to feature ice cream and cake.. "that's why we're calling it a super bowl party," explained her son bob merle, 73, who lives just five trailers down the road.

"we don't celebrate birthdays, but we have to celebrate 100 years," said mrs. mechem, 78.
