it's 18:00 here, the evening is young - but promising.. if you listen to music, to get you in a party or socializing mood, before going out on nye, please share it here.

i am currently house-bound, but i would love to hear the festivities, as they kick off!

[i live near one of the favourite nye fireworks locales in my city - a peaky park - so i'm fated to hear the noise later on.

points for consideration:.

1. a. is the "organisation" (i.e., doctrines, teachings, practices, spirit) of 2006 the same organisation that you affiliated yourself with at your accession to unbaptised/baptised publisher status some 10 - 15 - 20 years ago?.

1. b. if the organisation is substantially changed, and you abandoned your congregation before [many of ] those definitive changes were instituted, can the current "organisation" accurately be said to have the authority to disfellowship you from an entity which essentially no longer exists?
