Thanks, Syl and Pete, for your posts.
I appreciate your bringing up my old thread, Sylvia.
You're correct, Pete, yet is it unity or uniformity? Too much control. I have a beard and long hair. Of course, I don't go out in service, but while still in I was allowed to comment.
No more can do . . . I would not be able to contain my cool, calm and collected.

i was reading in another forum, that a letter to the elders instructed them to speak to anybody who persists in wearing tight pants.
if changes don't happen then the instructions are to disqualify him from being a publisher but it won't be announced to the congregation.
i am am curious to see if this letter will surface.
I mentioned on another thread some time ago that, in the early '70s, Brother Knorr forbade bell bottoms (in your room was all right). My roommate was brazen and wore them to the factory. He got lots of stares.
Even flares were frowned upon. So much frowning, the face develops a permanent scowl. So sad, so sad . . .

What matters, in the picture of Jesus and John, is that the hair on the nape of the neck does not touch the collar of their garments.
Well, if John were not so scantily clothed . . . Oh, I just realized that Jesus has no collar. How would he appropriate himself the requisite tie?

...and it's our duty to warn non-jws, or half awake jws about these events, as they start appearing in newspapers throughout the us, and abroad.
it almost comes out as a promotional ad for the jw convention.
the 'current events' editing staff of this paper likely has no idea what their promoting.
Regarding the Spanish Conventions:
"Alvarado said this year’s conventions include a video about how to follow Christ on Sunday rather than a dramatic play."
or . . .
Alvarado said this year's conventions include a video, rather than a dramatic play, on Sunday about how to follow Christ. [edits mine]
My, how our modifiers dangle. Unless, of course, we follow Christ only on a Sunday!

how is everybody doing?.
it's been 8 months since i've been here.. so many newbies!.
lol.. sylvia.
Three candles have been burning bright, bright and true as
I sit and I stare into my own personal and intractable oblivion;
however, the tapered red triplets have begun to gutter though
all my windows have been shut against even the smallest draft.
The first, whose wick I set to flame, has grown cold as, so too,
has the warmth that once so lovingly caressed my robust frame.
As a penetrating fog new to a once lively mind has settled in and
dampened my soul, I glance the second scarlet torch; it goes dead.
Anxious -- terrified -- that changes swift and sure are invading the land I
do love, I shield my eyes in fear from the third and last before it, too, bids
adieu to a darkening room . . . yet, I sense it blazes all the more merrily while
vision dims and a stiff cold wind from a broken pane intones my night has come.
greetings, fellow posters:.
i bought a nearly new 7-speed bicycle at a yard sale for $30 last weekend and took it out this morning on our paved local bicycle/walking trail.
the last time i rode was in my early- to mid- twenties when i used a bicycle to get to and from the kh for my pioneer service.
Greeting, Village Idiot (a moniker, in the plural, we kids heard a lot at home):
That is beautiful. I was doing yard work on a client's property and an older lady, with Hubby's help, tooled on by. I didn't know the name, so thanks!

Dear Syl:
Think of you all the time, particularly when I reread old threads where you and I and the crew chatted away, spinning yarns and rejoicing in friendship!
Love ya!

Yes, a little bit of courage. And it's like driving a stick shift -- you don't forget!
I could never match PeeWee for style and grace! What a pic . . .
Gratefully,

Greetings, LV101 and sowhatnow:
Your input is much appreciated -- THANKS!
I live in the foothills of northern California, USA. Tortuous, narrow roads -- scary -- yet bicyclists are everywhere, particularly those training for major events. Sad to say, there've been fatalities. I drive to a safe place, that one mentioned earlier.
Slow and easy . . .
Best.
