  Forward, You Witnesses was authored by Erich Frost. From the United States Holucost Museum:

  Musician Erich Frost was a devout Jehovah's Witness active in the religious resistance to Hitler's authority. Frost was caught smuggling pamphlets from Switzerland to Germany and was deported to the Sachsenhausen concentration camp near Berlin. There, he composed this song in 1942. Frost survived the war and died in 1987. This translation is taken from the Jehovah's Witness Songbook.

  Simone Arnold Liebster, who sings the English version of the song, was born in 1930 in Mulhouse, French Alsace. After the incorporation of Alsace into the German Reich during World War II, Liebster's family suffered increasing harrassment from the Nazis for following the Jehovah's Witness faith. Eventually both her father (Adolphe Arnold) and mother were arrested and sent to concentration and detention camps while she was placed in a correctional institution for "nonconformist" youth. Liebster has published an autobiography, Facing the Lion: Memoirs of a Young Girl in Nazi Europe

  Sorry, brother elders, I forgot to set the clock back, and I am afraid I missed the Meeting today.

  You know why we all change the clocks on Sunday? Its an excuse to miss church, but nobody oversleeps football!

  Guys, Which Shaving cream do you use for a very close shave?

  My favorite is "Shave Secret" which is not a cream at all but an oil blend. It makes for the best shaves ever. I have spend hundreds of dollars on high end creams, over-seas stuff, different razors, brushes, all that stuff. I have come down to Shave Secret, a little soap in the shower (cheap hotel soap has done best) and a Schick Quattro Titanium (disposable on the road). Follow up with old fashioned and cheap Clubman after shave.

  Compare Bethel with the LDS HQ in Salt Lake City

  i have been to both, bethel (all 3 complexes: brooklyn, walkill, paterson plus the jersey city stanley theater) as a teenager, and to tour the lds (mormon) complex in salt lake city as an adult.

  i did bethel as a "witness" child, and slc as a totally non-jw adult.

  the lds complex seemed more open to the public, inviting and comfortable.

Their buildings are beautiful and inspirational and impecibly clean.

  Is the Harvest Inn (Patterson NY) owned by a Witness?

  i was looking at reviews on www.tripadvisor.com and saw that the harvest inn near patterson is highly rated (though clearly a lower end mo-tel).

  one writer even commented at how nice it is to wake up to kingdom melodies in the morning there.. .

  comments lead me to believe that the place is jw owned and primarily caters to visitors of the farms and bus tours of same.. .

  I'll bet nothing is as exciting a visiting NYC... the center of the universe... under the constant scrutiny of some elder, all while dressing in Sunday clothes and living 24/7 with Kingom Melodies. Oh my.

  Reports have it that they were doing CPR on him. Statistically, that is not good news... less than 3% survive cardiac arrest with CPR.

  USA- Census - Why not hire the JW's to do it?

  by POs Son in

  there is talk on some of the national news outlets about the cost of the united states census.

  for our foreign friends, we conduct a full head count of residents every 10 years to facilitate the division of congressional seats.

  the budget has allocated some $11 billion for this task, to include sending counters door-to-door asking personal questions about people's habits in addition to counting the number of people.

The budget has allocated some $11 Billion for this task, to include sending counters door-to-door asking personal questions about people's habits in addition to counting the number of people. There are several options, from hired census workers, to third parties such as ACORN (another scandal) to a recent idea to include the postal workers. It makes sense, the postal service already has 760,000 employees walking and driving to every home and office in the nation!

  I have a better idea! Why not hire the JW's to do this. Think... they could sing "From House to House.... From Door to Door" while counting heads and offering lifesaving pamphlets at every house! They would have an air of legitimacy with their census ID card, and they could make tons of return visits based on what they learn while interviewing!
