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.
I wonder if they will be missing the meeting?
JW's give gifts on the celebration of a birth, hence a birthday present! My JW sister always buys her son a present on his birthday as she has stated to her it is a special day as she gave birth to a son
Did Mary and Joseph accept gifts when they had a son born called Jesus? Is there not a notation in the bible of JOB's special day?
i received this email from stephen bates, journalist on the guardian (london) newspaper, a few hours ago:
dear ken,.
a few months ago you emailed me about the watchtower suing a canadian website.
I like that idea, why not paste it to the mags left in laundramats and do some street corner witnessing beside them with some quotes!
why is there no thread on this???
omfg that was an awesome game!!!!.
first time ever a 6th seed team has won the first two games of the playoffs.
Some awesome games on the wekend, I'm rooting for the Steelers! I just hope that the Superbowl could get more exciting and I think this year may prove to be just that.
I will be watching the game in Cancun!!!!

someone with more 'tech' knowledge needs to answer this for us.. the wt has current control of the quotes.watchtower.ca website.
if they put something on it to forward requests to view to the 'real' wt site can they look at and trace back ip addresses to us.. if it is yes then the next thing we will see is the lawyers sending lawsuits to isp's thru-out the country wanting the names of those individuals.. or am i really paranoid on this one.. let them come after me i really don't care at this point in time.
but i would rather have this happen on my timeline and not theirs.

keep cool .
Simply beautiful!
words fail me in describing my anger at the arrogance and truly evil scheming by the wt against quotes.
please discuss here how this site helped you, and what we can do to set up mirror sites from offshore isp's.. pm me if necessary.. quotes really helped me in my search, and i want it to be there for searchers.. .
and this is for you, ted jarascz.
It's the gift that keeps on giving!

I recall Quotes once telling me that if his site just got ONE person out of the Watchtower it was a victory for him and worth it! I think he accomplished this many many times, not only did it inspire that first person but thousands more. Hey there were over 144,000 hits on the site!
The site has truly brought to light the significance of quotes and will stir up many more sites in the future. Sure it was a bookmarked site but as soon as people start searching the internet in the future they will find quotes on many sites!
It was a benchmark site for new light!!
I believe as a group we have to focus more on the child abuse and the blood issue, we have to unit and protest more often, let this be our new years resolution! These issues come in and out of llight to fast and the coverage and awareness must be first on our lists.
Now Quotes and I will have to concentrate on new things like pagan festivities!

no long...... "see you later's"....just bye bye.. .
my time has come to leave this place.
thanks for the memories, good times, and useful information.. .
One of the first people I met on this board was Zev when we had an Apostafest here in Toronto about three years ago, what a great guy! He drove all the way from the east to meet us all and have a few beerz.
Take care Zev!
