Jonas Brothers Bump Convention Dates!!!
by tresdecu inha!
just heard this from a friend of mine ((he doesn't know i feel the way i do about wbts)) out in the seattle area.
the normal convention days of friday-sunday were originally announced way back in january, now due to the society getting an exceptional deal from the tacoma dome, they agreed to move the convention from thursday-saturday ((this was announced a couple of months ago)) so the jonas brothers could play their show on sunday.

Re: Magazine Printing and Shipping relocated to Canada. Governing Body has approved of having the Magazine Printing and
Shipping moved to the Canada Branch. They will be getting a new Press and equipment to accomplish this task. Here at Wallkill and the Global Printery’s are going to Double Shift
work. (No brothers or sister working with the new “work arrangement”
will have to miss meetings) Wallkill presently has 5 printing presses and we will be reduced to 3
high speed. We will continue to Print and Ship all Hard and Soft cover
publications. All the details have not been worked out, but many will
be effected who were presently working with Magazine
Production/Printing & Shipping. The Society transferred the magazine Dept. from Brooklyn to Wallkill
in 1973..and has rolled off the presses Billions of issues…time to
pass the baton on to our Brothers to the North.Thrilling news !!
Now, regarding the opening comment "the Governing Body has approved of having the Magazine Printing and Shipping moved to the Canada Branch"; I was of the impression that the whole legal organization re-org was designed to alleviate the Governing Body from having to be burdened with operational decisions of the corporation, and could focus on spiritual food production (sic). Wouldn't approving such a move be the domain of the directors of those corporations directly responsible for printing operations?

On the farm lived a chicken and a horse, both of whom loved to play together.
One day the two were playing, when the horse fell into a bog and began to sink.
Scared for his life, the horse whinnied for the chicken to go get the farmer for help!
Off the chicken ran, back to the farm. Arriving at the farm, he searched and searched for the farmer, but to no avail, for he had gone to town with the only tractor..
Running around, the chicken spied the farmer's new Harley.. Finding the keys in the ignition, the chicken sped off with a length of rope hoping he still had time to save his friend's life.
Back at the bog, the horse was surprised, but happy, to see the chicken arrive on the shiny Harley, and he managed to get a hold of the loop of rope the chicken tossed to him. After tying the other end to the rear bumper of the farmer's bike, the chicken then drove slowly forward and, with the aid of the powerful bike, rescued the horse!
Happy and proud, the chicken rode the Harley back to the farmhouse, and the farmer was none the wiser when he returned.
The friendship between the two animals was cemented: Best Buddies, Best Pals.
A few weeks later, the chicken fell into a mud pit, and soon, he too, began to sink and cried out to the horse to save his life!
The horse thought a moment, walked over, and straddled the large puddle. Looking underneath, he told the chicken to grab his hangy-down thingy and he would then lift him out of the pit..
The chicken got a good grip, and the horse pulled him up and out, saving his life.
The moral of the story?
(yep, you betcha, there is a moral!)

Another 'gag me' email
by TJ - iAmCleared2Land infunny how these people think that jehovah will arrange for a backhoe to fill a basement, or a storm to knock down a tree that the city won't let you remove, but doesn't prevent his young servants from being sexually abused, or whatever.. (gag-me email follow).
does jehovah know what is going on, and does he help?.

Funny how these people think that Jehovah will arrange for a backhoe to fill a basement, or a storm to knock down a tree that the city won't let you remove, but doesn't prevent his young servants from being sexually abused, or whatever.
(gag-me email follow)
DOES JEHOVAH KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON, AND DOES HE HELP?
(As told by Bro. Spangenberg, C.0.)
1. The bomb planted in the Kingdom Hall in Australia , where one Brother was killed,=2 0was meant to kill everyone, and would have; but the bomb rolled backwards so the force or the blast was away from the friends,rather than aimed at them.
2. A new Hall was built in Brooklyn . However, a large tree was
Inconveniently located in the center of the parking lot, and a city
Ordinance forbade it's removal. That night, a storm blew it down, and it conveniently fell in the middle of the street. No harm came to the Hall. Because it blocked the street, the city of New York had to remove it, at no expense to the brothers.
3. In Florida , a Hall building was delayed, because the basement hadn't been back filled and the brothers had no means to do so. While the inspectors were at the site, a bulldozer showed up, did the job, and drove off. He returned to tell his boss; he'd finished the job at the Hall. The boss replied, 'Hall!? I told you to go to the mall!' The job was done at
No expense to the brothers.
4. The brothers were building a 2-day project, and were short of roof trusses. None could be obtained for 3 days. Nearby, a semi-truck overturned, blocking traffic. What was it carrying? Trusses! The police wanted them removed. The brothers moved in and hauled them away. Although some were damaged, enough were gathered to finish the project, at no cost
To the brothers.
5. A Hall project was planned on an island. However, no sand was available for the mortar. (Many of th ese islands are formed from coral.). The only sand was on property owned by the Catholic priest, and he wouldn't sell to the brothers. A storm came up and washed the sand from the priest's land to where it was available to the friends. The project was completed,
And everyone was happy but the priest.
6. In Poland , where the work was, at the time, done underground, 3 elders were working on a country road. The sky was cloudy. Suddenly a bolt of lightning killed the middle brother. The other 2 hurriedly hid his body in the bushes, to go and remove literature, etc. From his home before the officials came. (The officials would take over any possessions they found and would give them to whomever they felt could use them. ) Among his possessions were found a complete list of all the Witnesses from miles around. He was not a brother, but an imposter, planning to turn this list over to the police! As Bro. Lauriz says, if these hadn't come from Bethel , we'd never believe them!
7. In a country where the work is banned, a brother was trying to get through a series of roadblocks, with the trunk of his car loaded with literature. He was stopped by a policeman who asked him if he would take him to a certain destination as his car was broke down. The Brother agreed, the policeman got in the car, took his policeman's hat off and put it on the dashboard of the car as they drove along. They passed through five road blocks and each time they were waved to go on through because of the policeman being with him. When they reached the end, the policeman thanked him and got out. The Brother asked him what the roadblocks were for and he said, 'Oh, those Jehovah's Witnesses try to get through with their literature and this is set up to stop them.' So he had escorted theBrother right through with his literature!
