  He was on stage for over 2 hours and did all of our favorite songs (except the nasty ones and the ones with swearing!)

  What are good little dubs doing having favorite songs that are nasty and have swearing in?

  hey danny i just wanted to mention not to use more than about 2 tablespoons of chivas for a big dish like a roast or brisket and for steaks, keep it to 1 teaspoon per steak.. right now, i'm learning how to cook beef brisket.

  cooking one tonight i've been marinading since friday night.

  i've been told you can marinade one in beer but haven't tried it yet.. mike.. expect nothing and you will never be disappointed,

  Wolfy,

  Elders have a heavy responsiblity..don't shrink back..What they say must be firmly based on the Bible and the WT lit.

  What they really mean is it must be firmly in line with WTBTS ideas.

  Guess they are too lazy to change the talks. Been giving the same ones for over 30 years, at least.

  Larc,

  If anyone asks me about why I am there, I will tell them that I am a free lance writer, which is kinda, sorta true.

  Good idea, you would probably get VIP treatment.

  Should I tell them that I am writing an article for Free Minds Journal?

  Maybe do that at the end. That would really stir them up.

  My dictionary definition
  Oriental - 'of the Orient, of the East or countries E. of the Mediterranean, esp. E Asian;'

  So guess that gives us a bit of leeway, but Turkey would fit there.

  Wendy,

  it is amazing how precious a dime is to a man that drives a Caddy, of course that may be why he drives a Caddy

  I think you are right

  Learning new things won't help the person who isn't using what he already knows, -Anonymous

  The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who cannot read them. -Mark Twain

  Don't be discouraged by failure. Failure, in a sense, is the highway to success because every discovery of what is false leads us to seek after what is true. And every fresh experience points out an error which we shall, afterwards, carefully avoid. -John Keats

  WTS SAYS ELDERS SINS DON'T COUNT!

  by Amazing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  sometime ago i posted a discussion on h20 about the nov. 1991 kingdom ministry school for elders / ms held at woodburn, oregon.

  during that school session the co stated that elders who commit a serious sin, even a gross sin, did not have to be removed if the event took place two or three years prior, and the elder continued to be respected, giving evidence of jehovahs blessing.

  the co stipulated that this only applied to elders and ms and not to regular publishers.

  Amazing, you said

  The KM School in 1991 emphasized this article with the addition that because too many Elders and MS were being removed when the Society felt that they needed these men because they are running low on men to fill positions of service

  These are the men who are supposed to be a hiding place from a storm and a refreshement for the R & F

  Now that there is a bit of an exodus and they are losing R&F, I wonder if this article will be applied to them?

  So much for God's clean organisation.

  Huh, what a corrupt society

  BTW Amazing, did you post Justice #15 – Molesters Under Every Rock!?
  If so, I must have missed it, and would be grateful if you could give me the thread.

  on thursday, the 21st, i lost a dear friend.. he was an older man, some 25 years older than me.

  he was not a dub.

  we became friends over 10 years ago because of a mutual hobby, that of ham radio, or amateur radio if you prefer.

  Zev, I am so sorry for your loss, but I am glad that you got to see him when you knew it would be the last time.

  At least you won't have the 'if only I could have....' feeling.

  (((((Zev))))))

  Deepest sympathy to you, Zev

  Bulger killers release - just?

  by digderidoo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  with the news that the killers of jamie bulger have been released, it would be interesting to know how people feel.. from the mcveigh thread it seems that many americans believe the death penalty would have been appropriate.. i do not know whether many in the us know of the case in britain of a 2 year old being tortured and murdered by two 10 year olds.

  but now 8 years later they have been released.. i know of the arguments that they have been rehabilitated since killing jamie bulger.....but is this really justice?

  Thank you Querty for putting up the web site.
  Too much money has been spent on protecting those murderers. They should have served their sentences at least. Since they have been released, people have the right to know what they look like. They deserve to live in fear.

  There are far too people worrying about looking after vicious thugs, and not the poor victim or his family.

  Also, with their sadistic streaks, who will protect society from them?

  Don't go UncleO.

  Copernicus you said

  I wish I had a nickel for every mile the WTS has milked from the only scripture in the bible that mentions meetings.

  But the bible doesn't say go to meetings, the NWT says in Hebrews 10

  24 And let us consider one another to love and fine works, 25 not forsaking the gathering of ourselves together, as some have the custom, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you behold the day drawing near

  'Gathering ourselves together' can include the 2 or 3 gathered together in Jesus' name.
