  Despite the fact that he was a JW elder, my father had a library full of Asimov novels.

  Smart man. Asimov is my favorite author.

  This book was THE book that opened my eyes as to how to reason and think about religion when I was a JW. It opened up possibilities that I felt could be used to explain things happening in our world. Such as how religion and science could actually be explaining the same things, from different points of view.

  (I mention this because it shows that reading good quality secular material can open a JW's eyes without being confrontational. Many times we want to attack the insane doctrine and policies of the WT. But for some people they need a more subtle approach.)

  Anyway, I am a devoted Asimov fan. This is one of his lesser known works I think that is positively brilliant. A movie was made too of this book, though it took some liberties with the plot and, for me at least, is not as good as the book.

  In Germany, the Watchtower logo must be removed from all kingdom halls

  according to german april issue of our kingdom ministry, the watchtower logo must be removed from all kingdom halls:.

  it sais that the watchtower logo - a stylised watchtower or a watchtower with a bible - is used by the watchtower society.

  thus, it should not be used by congregations or private persons, neither on kingdom halls, stationary or anything else.

  Was there any particular song or music u were not allowed to listen to because it was inappropriate or it was deemed demonized?

  i remember there was this heavy metal group called wasp.

  some of the witnesses said it stood for we are satans people and that wasnt even true.

  stairway to heaven by led zeppelin was a no-no because they said if u played it backwards it talked about worshipping the devil.

  through work, i received a copy of a news release from the local cable company.

  that cable company is headed to bankruptcy but until then business as usual.

  (kinda like the illinois governor...just keeps going even though doomed).. my question is...do residential customers really need internet to be that fast?

  Twitch has it absolutely correct. It will be a long time before the computer revolution slows down.
