Jehovah's Witnesses: How Their Subculture is Fading Away.
by metatron ini am old enough to remember the days when conventions lasted many long days and large.
numbers of brothers were employed in preparing hot meals served on trays, army-style.
also recall how good these steam cooked meals tasted - and how policemen, assigned to.

Personally I think you should go, its all about showing respect for the person that died, being there for your family, and having some closure. Its the same arguement we use with the dubs when they won't go to another church for a wedding or whatever, you aren't there to worship or condone what is going on there, you are there for your family.

Wow, seeing that timeslip just weirds me out on so many levels. I haven't seen one of those bad boys in over 20 years. I'd rather be stabbed in the eye with a fork than ever deal with that stuff again.

Schne, based on all the facts given I would have to say that I would take no action at this time.

New Light?
by jaffacake ini have looked up the scripture (in its proper context).
firstly, it does not even mention "new light" at all!
secondly, who can read the whole chapter and honestly say this is about god's progressive revelation of informaton to an organisation appointed by jesus to teach people truth in the last days?.

Behold the power of JWD, I watched the thing over the weekend because I just had to see it after this buzz. I can definitely see why there is such a love or hate thing going on with this flick. Reminds me of how people didn't get British humor here in the states for a long time.
I have to admit, I thought it was pretty damn funny.
