hi gals and guys,.

i noticed there are quite a few of you that reside in the la area.... so i'd like to get some feedback about where to go & what to do in the la area; i'll be taking my family there in a week!.

our budged only allowed us to book a nice hotel in the san fernando area (sylmar) which i have noticed is on the edge of the metro area... thus i hope there are hov lanes or something to that effect to avoid the famous traffic jams.... besides from the best routes to take to get around town, my wife and i have a couple more questions on tips for the main attractions, such as disneyland, best beaches to visit, good moderate priced restaurants, celeb sightseeings (lol) and anything else that i can keep my family entertained with.. i've been to san pedro pier on one ocassion but that's about it... any feedback or tips are welcomed!.

Shunning policy from the 1920's

i found this post in you tube:.

"in the meantime the brother may merely be treated in the kindly, courteous way in which it would be proper for us to treat any publican or gentile, withholding the special rights or privileges or greetings or voting opportunities that belong to the church as a class separate from the world" (wt 3/1/1919, p. 69).

can anyone in this forum validate this quotation?

Has anyone read Ronald Weinland's Book: 2008 God's Final Witness?

one thing that he mentions in this book (page 76 par.

1) is the belief that the 144k and the great multitude are the same; meaning john is first given a number and then he's given a visual.... pretty much the same conclusion that my wife and i reached on our own and that we later confirmed with one of leolaia's research topics regarding the 144k.

My brother thinks like a pharisee!

earlier today i called my aging father to check on him; he asked me if my brother has met my newborn yet.

i told him 'well, no... i invited him to come over to meet his nephew whenever he'd like but never responded'.. then my dad asked me to let him know he'll be writing to him soon.

i briefly talked to my brother and relayed the message.

all,.

i have a question to ask .... does anyone have the new edition of the 'climax' book?.

the reason i ask is because i've been wondering if the wts ever removed those subliminal images...specifically those on pages 52 and 159?.

New insight on Rev 5 & 7?

well, i must state first that it was not me that caught the following but rather my wife.

while considering the following chapters of revelation we noticed the following:.

av re 5:5 and one of the elders saith unto me, weep not: behold, the lion of the tribe of juda, the root of david, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.

Went to hospital to help my JW friend & his parents despite me being df'd!!

one of my best friends and ex-room mate who still remains a jw called me just 4 days ago asking me for info regarding emergency medicaid.

he had been hospitalized for almost a month and had no health coverage at the time so he called me knowing that i'm a know it all.

even before me being df'd he would always be afraid of his parents knowing we hanged out together so that made it even more fun!
