A couple that went to our hall named their firstborn Dathan. He was about a year and a half when they changed it to Nathan, after someone pointed out who Dathan was.

I used to work in the transportation industry, and found out thru the Safety end of it about the Circadian Cycle. That is the natural rhythm governed by light every living thing has in relation to sleep/wake. It seems to be genetic, and could explain why some people require less or more sleep. With out enough sleep, a person is as unalert and accident prone as some one who has been drinking.
For me, personally, lack of light can be an issue. I have a 500w HID system, that I garden with. (Hanging with my plants helps, too.) I find that the lamp can help reset my clock, improve my mood, and if I get too much light, I get really amped.

Crisis Of Conscience - What Did The Society Say?
by dh ini remember reading somewhere online that the society have banned jw's from reading ray franz book; crisis of conscience.
i wondered what the details of this were, have they actually named the book in any of their publications?
or spoken publicly against it?

I also wondered if anyone knew which Society publications were actually written by Ray Franz.
I recently went through our old society junk, took and inventory, and now am deciding what to do with it. I ran across a page on FreeMinds, Inc. on used prices.
http://www.freeminds.org/sales/booksale.htm
I was suprised to see that we have two on his list that were 'written by an "apostate"'. 'The Commentary on the Letter of James', and 'Choosing the Best Way of Life' . I take it that the apostate in question is none other than Ray Franz.
ps-no wonder pioneer sis-in-law tossed 'em in the trash.

I can take nearly any example they provide, read the scripture in context backwards and forwards, and they are flummoxed. To give a proprer response, they have to run back to their Reasoning book.
When I was being indoctrinated, I recall telling the pioneer (sister-in-law) I usually read the verse before and after the one being discussed, to put the verse in context. She did not seem to understand why, and found it profoundly funny that I would do such a thing.
