  is it an outside source?.

  an inside job?

  maybe the younger gb "helpers"?.

  i am grateful for holy spirit's ability to dredge up long-forgotten spiritual gems that lurk in dark caverns of the mind.. it has been revealed -- for your edification and enlightenment -- that the resurrected anointed among the symbolic 24 elders do, indeed, play a vital role in the new but typically confusing developments in the world of jw theology.. in the much revered but oft maligned book, "revelation: its grand climax at hand!

  " we discover the reason behind it all:.

  ] resurrected ones of the 24-elders group may be involved in the communicating of divine truths today.

  In the much revered but oft maligned book, "Revelation: Its Grand Climax At Hand!" we discover the reason behind it all:

  [. . .] resurrected ones of the 24-elders group may be involved in the communicating of divine truths today." -- pages, 124, 125, paragraph 17.

  This, my friends, is the answer to all your head-pounding inquiries over what's happenin'.

  Of course, you may think this is for naught because of the little 3-letter disclaiming word, "may," in the quotation above.

  You work it out. I am not master of your faith . . .

  "What a feeling I get from wheeling  .  .  ."

  Off-off-off-Broadway.

  Well, didn't the Book of Mormon make it to the stage?

  Comment someone gave on Today's Watchtower re: great tribulation

  "we may get instructions that don't make sense or they may defy logic, but we must be obedient to the faithful slave if we want to survive.".

  all i could think about was that these were the same kind of people that would have gulped down the kool aid at jonestown without hesitation.. pardon the language, but what the actual f**k?

  even when i wasn't a doubter and bought in to the organization, it was always with a view to what was in line with scripture.

  "One must command from each what each can perform, the king went on.

  "Authority is based first of all upon reason. If you command your subjects to jump into the ocean, there will be a revolution. I am entitled to command obedience because my orders are reasonable."

  This music is divinely beautiful, although it is a secular piece: "I'll Begin Again," from SCROOGE.

  i was expecting you, but not so early in the day.. i saw you walk up to my neighbor fred's house last week while i was out getting the newspaper, once again tossed into the bushes by a careless newspaper boy.

  today, it's the usual routine of rising at dawn, fetching the paper from the bushes -- where else?

  -- and settling into my comfy, tattered wing back with the first of several cups of coffee.

  You say nothing, and that is good, because I want neither praise nor condemnation. Your silence is companionable. You know there's a time to speak, a time to be silent. Your presence comforts me when, on the other hand, well-meaning friends and family have irritated me with their intended comfort.

  Is your name Solomon?

  i seem to remember that she was not ever dfd even though she was present at the fateful meal, but i don't remember where i saw that.

  it seemed like they specifically targeted raymond, but cynthia was left alone.. i tried searching jwn, but the search feature seems to be not working.. also tried googling the answer, but to no avail..

  You're welcome, Xanthippe!

  If not a deliberate remake, certainly close thematically. Some reviewer said of the last remake of "The Invasion of the Body Snatchers" -- "The Invasion," with Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig -- "ENOUGH!"

  Hello, Nancy!

  What's rotten in Denmark has invaded the entire world!

  Thanks.

  Thank you, Xanthippe, for posting.

  Yes, Hamlet was speaking to Horatio. My use of poetic license had me putting the apologies-to-Shakespeare quotation within single quotation marks rather than the usual doubles. I always wanted to recite those words to a know-it-all JW.

  I saw "Meet Joe Black," and was smitten with his co-star, Claire Forlani. It is a remake, I believe, of "Death Takes a Holiday," starring Fredric March.

  I am sorry you lost your husband. My condolences to you and yours.

  Best wishes.
