the point of the letter was how many are feeling disappointed these days.. no circuit assembly, convention, how we can't fellowship at the k.h.
disappointed we might have had a love one die, etc etc.
he then goes on to write about how disappointed jehovah must have felt when his first human creation rebelled.
Now is a good time for parents to roll play 'coffee break'. That way when children who have never been exposed to 'field service' finally get the opportunity, they will be prepared to take their place in honoring Jehovah in every aspect of the never to be repeated preaching work of our lifetime!
Good catch RubaDub.
cities across america have been pillaged and destroyed these last few days.
a white policeman has been charged with murder of a black man.
protests have been organized across major us cities and horrible riots have occurred.
"Various domestic terror groups on BOTH far left & right are instigating & committing acts of violence & looting."
"They are stealing the focus away from the murder of Mr. Floyd & the legitimate problems it revealed."
"After a very peaceful protest a dozen or so agitators in Ft. Lauderdale who came with plastic bottles with some unknown fluid & began throwing them at police."
"These agitators were NOT from BLM or any other African American group & in fact BLM organizer tried to get them to stop." - Senator Marco Rubio R-FL Twitter Feed last night
my great granddad met abraham lincoln when he was a boy.
when i was a kid i met him, he was 100+.
so according to the generation teaching i knew lincoln.
I walked past this statue of Lincoln every time I walked home from Jr. High School in 1969. Sometimes I would pass it in the morning and in the afternoon thereby 'overlapping' my contact with the statue in the same day. Does that count?
True story: My history teacher was a distant relative of Lincoln. In fact, his last name was Lincoln. That would make road to nowhere and I contemporaries of the Lincoln family.
this isn't a poor me thread.....just what is going on here in my small world.. since both my son and me own tour companies, when the lock down happened three weeks ago our businesses literally died over night.
we both depended on the tourist that come to phoenix and sedona, so that all went away as people stop taking vacations.
all future tours have been cancelled.. my son moved in with me two days ago, much to chagrin of his jehovah's witness mother.
Keith...I have sent you a PM.
1970 circuit assembly program, sherwood high school, maryland.. .
rented schools were the accepted places for assemblies before 1970. the high school was used all the time.
the last one in a school in maryland came in january 2,3,4 1970.. .
George Couch was THE Home Servant and also had charge of Watchtower Farms. Albert Schroeder was a Gilead instructor (perhaps that is who you are thinking of).

1973 DIVINE VICTORY ASSEMBLY
"Recognize any names?" - Petra!
I most certainly do!
R. Franz, A. Schroeder, V. Wisegarver : Bethel heavies one and all who I never met personally or had any interactions with during my Bethel career.
A. Flowers : Bag of wind, bullshit artist in love with his own mirror image. Company man to the core. When I left Watchtower Farms he asked me : 'So will you become a Jehovah's Witness after you leave here?!' His only claim to fame was that he married a much younger woman.
Phil Wilcox : Very nice, down to earth man. He is a Bethel heavy. Treated me like a younger brother. Told me when I left : 'Sparky, you got some bad breaks here at Bethel and I am sorry that things turned out for you the way they did. Why don't you go ahead and leave, take some time to think about your life, get married and come back to Bethel. If that is what you want, don't reapply through the normal channels. Call me and I will get you back in.' One of the finest, most non-judgmental men I have ever met!
George Couch : Here is Sparky's original bete noire! Interestingly enough, I first met ole Georgie boy at a meeting for those interested in Bethel service at a District Assembly. We had a long conversation together...just we two! (How sweet! ) When it was over, he ripped me a new asshole and called me arrogant and smug. I wish I had the guts to return the favor but he got his comeuppance when the Governing Body took more control of Bethel operations. Grifting Georgie Boy soon learned his place when Nathan Knorr could no longer cover for him.
Ah! The memories! Some good, most bad.
i say it tramples on the free market!
if a person gets botulism, e.coli or trichonosis, they'll just stop buying that brand!
let the market decide i say.
I see what you did there...NoAbuse.
some light entertainment ... there are apparently 39 beatles songs hidden in the picture, but depending on how to interpret some of them you may come up with more.. please post one each, to give everyone a go, and describe where the song is in the picture (so it's not just coming up with a list of beatles songs).
also, check for existing answers - i'll post summaries to show the ones already identified.. .
Ticket to Ride (Left center, man giving little boy a ticket)
while even non-peaceful people have been awarded the peace prize (e.g.
arafat, kissinger), i am confused as to how obama could possibly have won the award one year after being the first term junior senator from illinois with zero “peace” experience (other than his ‘well-articulated’ rhetoric)..
reading the obama-pining on a couple of posts made me reexamine my view of barry’s presidency..

Perhaps if you consult with the source you will find your answer.
