Mary,
you talk so lovingly about your brother in law, he must have been a good person indeed. His life hasn't been wasted since his relatives and friends keep such a fond memory of him. Sincere condolences to you and your family.

MY BROTHER-IN-LAW HAS DIED
by Mary inthis is one post i had always hoped i would never have to do, but after a long and brave battle, my beloved brother in law has died.
i have done a couple of threads on this in the past, so many of you know the battles he was facing.
he had been diagnosed earlier this year with myelodysplastic syndrome and the mortality rate of this disease is quite high.

Consolation on Demand
by chasson ini have a lot of consolation magazines that i could scan.. if you want a particular issue for research, tell me and i will scan it, and you can tell to the board more what are your research, so everybody will have more insight.. .
here is one of this magazine concerning the madison square garden incident.
this incident is connected with the olyn moyle's trial and it is interessant to see the vision of rutherford concerning this.. he tried in this magazine to excuse the usher, because what he said on stage was "the word of jehovah", so nobody must stop the "spreading of the word of god".

Thanks, Charles, makes us see even more clearly that the WTS hasn't always been as separate from the world as they now claim to be.
I wonder, downloading your files takes an awful lot of time, can't you make them less heavy when scanning your documents ?

Sorry to be so stubborn, Snowbird, it seems that english Wikipedia is a bit Anglo Saxon self orientated. Côte d'Ivoire became a french protectorate in 1843, then a colony, until it became independent in 1960. Unless it was called Ivory Coast (which is Côte d'Ivoire translation) before...called so even by the French ?

LOL, I remember that, her counsellors had to tell her that Africa is a continent, not a country, assuming that she knew what a continent is.

Cote' d'Ivoire - Ivory Coast
Sorry, folks, I beg to disagree, Ivory Coast is a french speaking country, it is and has been Côte d'Ivoire ever since french rule.
Snowbird, did you mean Ghana, which was Gold Coast under british rule ?
And what about Zambia, Lesotho and Malawi ?

Any WINE buffs on here ?
by wobble ini am not an expert on wine, can't afford to be, but i do like a good one,preferably red, but i have tasted some excellent rose and white.. my question is for the benefit of my sister in law, she is a chain smoker, and perhaps for that reason cannot abide a wine that is even slightly dry, she only drinks white,but does not enjoy the sweet white she has bought (cheapo bottles) so sticks lemonade in medium or dry white.. that is o.k if she is paying, but i often buy a good quality white, around $20 , and she desecrates it by pouring in the lemonade !.
can anyone recommend a wine,not too expensive,that she would enjoy ?
i suppose for her strange palate it would have to be "sweet" , but she hates sickly sweet.

Wobble,
I know that there are fewer and fewer french wines in Britain, that's your choice, but if you have a chance to find a bottle of 2005 Anjou-Villages (Loire valley red wine), try it, you won't be disappointed. I just opened a bottle this evening, it is beautiful (2005 and 2003 were very good vintages over here), and the taste is so typical. As our American friends lend importance to the vine type, it is Cabernet franc, but in fact taste depends essentially on the soil where the vine tree grows and on how wine is made, not that much on the type of vine.

One year ago I read Wild Swans by Jung Chang, the real life history of her (chinese) family from the last days of the chinese empire down to Maoist Cultural Revolution. I held my breath up all through the book. The author now lives in London.
Found lately in a used books shop The Liars' Club, by Mary KARR, a history of the author's youth in Texas. I've not started reading it yet but looks good.
