My maternal grandfather Ralph who died when I was just a young boy. He was the only real father figure that I had. My own father was a complete asshole. I love you Grampy and I always will.

Burt Reynolds - Dead at Age 82 - Rest in Peace
by flipper inhadn't seen a thread started on this so i thought i'd start a tribute thread to one of the great actors / entertainers over the years we've enjoyed watching.
he had a wicked, dry sense of humor, especially on the johnny carson show, great acting in deliverance, so if anybody would like to share stories, you tube snippets of talk show appearances, or pieces from movies- feel free to do so !
rest in peace burt, you brought us some really cool entertainment, thanks for the memories.

Burt Reynolds did a hell of a job as Quint the 'half breed' blacksmith on Gunsmoke. He had a wide range as an actor but didn't seem to get the roles that would showcase his abilities. He loved both Dinah Shore and Sally Field........lucky bastard!

The Original Sin in the Garden of Eden was : Disobey Jehovah, eat of the forbidden fruit and gain new knowledge.
The Current Sin in todays Jehovah's Witness religion is: Disobey the Governing Body, obtain a university education and gain new knowledge.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.

How many JDubs would believe this ridiculous statement?
by Sour Grapes ina circuit overseer or a member of the gibbering body is giving a talk about demonism and he says the following, "there was an elder in a congregation in california who let his 8-year-old daughter watch disney movies that involved witches, gremlins, magic, and sorcery.
many may feel that they are harmless movies and are just entertainment.
well, the 8-year-old daughter actually brought a blue smurf doll to the public talk and watchtower study.

I was a Bethelite in the mid 70's and travelled down to Baltimore one summer weekend for a John Denver concert. He NEVER said any such thing at the concert I attended. The Witness rumor mill is filled with ignorance and malicious lies.

District Assemblies now being held at Circuit Assembly locations?
by ShirleyW ini haven't been to a kh in decades, so i get the google alerts for jws and i got one featuring a local news channel in brooklyn covering the assembly being held in flatbush, brooklyn.
i'm sure that venue is where the circuit assemblies are usually held, keeping in mind it's summer and that's when the district assemblies are being held.
why are they acting like they're so strapped for cash and now holding district assemblies in circuit assemblies locations ?.

Doubter:
45,000 divided by 65,000 = 69% . That is 11 points less than 80%.
It just proves that you calculated what you wanted to calculate.
