Yes, Dutchie...that's why I said it doesn't matter how many points you have if you're knocked out. There can be no knockout before the end of a match, because a knockout is the end of the match. It is obvious who has won in a knockout scenario, but it isn't obvious until the match has already ended.

boxing, aren't their points awarded....
Yes, points are awarded. But it doesn't matter how many points you have if you get knocked out
No matter who the observers or participants think is winning, it all comes down to the judges decision at the end of the match.
Verily, I say unto you...tis boxing

Christmas and birthdays...
by Celia inthis thought came to me this morning, as i was lying in bed, trying to figure out which end is up.... the jws dont celebrate christmas, the birth of christ their savior.... because in earlier times, the same date was used to celebrate the return of the sun, the winter solstice.... (by the way, celebrating the return of the sun makes a lot of sense... no sun - no life..... we know the sun is there, we know what it does, no such thing about a god...) .
but i regress.. so, because on this date, pagans used to celebrate the sun, the jws dont want to celebrate christs birth..... its a little bit like not wanting to celebrate the birthday of a loved one, because he/she was born on the same day as a bad guy in history, like hitler, or napoleon, or slobodan milosevic, or saddam hussein, or osama bin laden... etc.... hmmm... my thinking is flawed, because, of course, the jws dont celebrate birthdays either.... question : did they first decide that christmas was evil or birthday celebrating was ?.
edited because the emoticon does not work.... :) :?

Hi Celia,
Your question made me a bit curious too...Here's what I found digging around the net a little.
This sudden change can be seen in the 1975 Yearbook of Jehovah's Witnesses which explains, "In Pastor Russell's day, Christmas was celebrated at the Old Bible House in Allegheny, Pennsylvania.
taken from here: http://www.seii.com/ccn/cults/jw-037.txt"Ora Sullivan Wakefield recalls that Brother Russell (founder of the Watchtower) gave members of the Bible House family five- or ten-dollar gold pieces at Christmas. "What caused the Bible Students to stop celebrating Christmas?
Richard H. Barbar gave this answer: `I was asked to give an hour talk over a (radio) hookup on the subject of Christmas. ... That talk pointed out the pagan origin of Christmas."`Did we mind putting those pagan things away?' asks Charles John Brandlein. `Absolutely not. This was just complying with new things learned, and we had never known before they were pagan.
"`It was just like taking a soiled garment off and throwing it away.' Next, birthday celebrations and Mother's Day were discarded - more creature worship" (p. 147, parenthesis added).

Two hillbillies approach each other on a country road. One is carrying a sack over his shoulder.
"Hey, Billy Bob," calls out to the other, "What you got in that sack?"
"Some chickens."
"If I guess how many chickens you got, will you give me one of them?"
"Heck, Joe Bob, if you guess how many chickens I got in the sack, I'll give you *both* of them."
"Okay. Er... Five?" -

This guy is walking through ChinaTown. He is fascinated with all the Chinese Restaurants, the Chinese shops, the Chinese signs and banners on the buildings. He is having the best time just walking and looking. He turns a corner and sees a building with a sign, "Hans Olafsen's Laundry".
"Hans Olaffsen?", he thinks. "How in the world does that fit in here?"
So, he walks into the shop and sees an old Chinese gentleman sitting in the corner.
The visitor asks, "How in the world did this place get a name like Hans Olaffsen's Laundry?"The old man answers, "Is name of owner."
The visitor asks, "Well, who in the heck is the owner?"
"I am he," answers the old man.
"You? How in the heck did you ever get a name like Hans Olaffsen?"
The old man replies, "Many years ago when I come to this country, I was standing in line at Documentation Center. Man in front of me was big blonde Swede. Lady look at him and go 'What your name?' He say 'Hans Olaffsen.' She look at me...'What your name?' I say Sam Ting." -

A rabbi and a priest get into a car accident and it's a bad one. Both cars are totally demolished but amazingly neither of the clerics is hurt. After they crawl out of their cars, the rabbi sees the priest's collar and says, "So you're a priest. I'm a rabbi. Just look at our cars. There's nothing left, but we are unhurt. This must be a sign from God. God must have meant that we should meet and be friends and live together in peace the rest of our days." The priest replies, "I agree with you completely. This must be a sign from God."
The rabbi continues, "And look at this. Here's another miracle. My car is completely demolished but this bottle of Mogen David wine didn't break. Surely God wants us to drink this wine and celebrate our good fortune." Then he hands the bottle to the priest. The priest agrees, takes a few big swigs, and hands the bottle back to the rabbi. The rabbi takes the bottle, immediately puts the cap on, and hands it back to the priest. The priest asks, "Aren't you having any?" The rabbi replies, "No...I think I'll wait for the police."
