take a good look at the new 2004 watchtower calendar and compare it with any other calendar you receive.. it's tiny ( old folks can barely read the print).
it's only eight pages - with the months doubled up on each page.. .
now, tell me how god is wonderfully expanding this organization, amidst frequent appeals for more contributions!.
I always felt guilty about having a "worldly" calender in my bedroom instead of the societies one. I usually liked to have something that inspired me hanging on the wall. But the societies calendar was just boring and lame as hell. The later ones reminded me of christian or biblical artwork that catholics used to hang up in their houses.
I usually had a LoTR or Star Trek calendar. Would have loved to have one with bikini clad girls but I think that was out of the question in my house.

anyone owned one?
sens is looking at one that has a "funny" transmission.
i was talking to a friend who owns one here in oz, she also has had two in canada (she's a recent import) she said that compared to other cars, the autos are a bit different, probably because of the higher revving engine in the little sports car.
See sens? It's not just me that thinks you should get a manual transmission.

I love these Mac vs Windows (vs Linux) threads!!
I use both Mac OS X and Windows XP.
I primarily use the Mac for music production. It's basically the hub of my studio. I have no problems with it. It's quite a powerful system. But I didn't really have a choice in the matter as the music production software I use ( Emagic Logic) only runs on Mac. So I was forced into using the Mac. Downsides of the mac is the price, moving around the desktop and finding files is not as quick as windows desktop and start bar.
Jwbot point is right and very valid. If you just want to use graphic design apps. Then I say get Windows XP pro. Very stable, cheaper to get a good PC, and quality is just as good as the Mac.
To be honost, their is alot of hype around Macs. They aren't really faster than Windows PC's. Personally I find working on a PC quicker than working on Macs. It all depends on how you like to work. Choose the one that fits your workflow.
BTW don't listen to sens or bubba... linux is for geeks :D

back in 1972 the wtb&ts published a new translation of the bible, "the bible in living english", otherwise known as byington's translation.. who was byington?.
the publisher's note tells us that steven t byington was born in 1868 and studied languages at a university and a theological seminary.
he was a member of the congregational church in massachusetts, usa and the translation was almost his lifetime's work.
But does anyone know why Byington would leave the publishing rights to the WTS?
Did he become a JW later in life?

friends, this is a sort of poll, directed mainly at -- but not limited to --ex-elders, their wives and kids.
it was my impression that, with the possible exception of meaningful personal prayer, the other aspect of the idealized, exemplary jw lifestyle that was portrayed at the assemblies and at meetings-- the regular, weekly family bible study -- was the one most neglected.
it seemed to be something the ``other" spiritual family did and the one thing we constantly agreed we ``needed to work on.".
Dad was an elder,
But no, we didn't have a regular study.

my ex jw exhusband didn't care much about music.
he preferred the natural sounds of life to music.
i have a coworker who doesn't listen to music: she doesn't like it.
Definitely, I'm a musical kinda guy. Music inspires me and is my strongest passion.
I love anything with soul. RnB, Jazz, rock, latin...all of it. As long as it makes me feel....
I play a few instruments, write and produce and work mainly out of my home studio.
Most influencive artists: Babyface, R Kelly, Chet Baker, Vince Jones, Radiohead, Cranberries, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix.
