  I notice they're ALWAYS sitting, they bring their own chairs, so he won't have to stand.

  Seems like I can't seem to catch this Good Morning thread until there's less than an hour left to the morning.

  55 minutes left until noon, but good morning !

  My mother used to tell this story ad nauseum regarding the "safety" at Bethel. When we took the tour in the late 1960's, my father who wasn't yet baptized came with us for the tour, I remember we had lunch there and toured the factory and then a brother I guess we knew invited us back to his room, as we were leaving and walking out the door my father said "should I lock the door" which the Bethel brother said "no, we don't have to lock our door around here"! Well, my mother just couldn't wait to get back to the hall and spread that story like it gave a good witness to my dad and others or something. Btw he didn't get baptized until 1978 and trust me that little door incident was not a factor, But from the stories that have been posted here about the goings on there with the booze and even mini thefts that have taken place at Bethel, I bet they have deadbolt locks on the doors now.

  Whatever Happened to the District Overseers? Who Took Over their Responsibilities?

  by Village Idiot in

  when i was in, during the 1970s, i would see circuit overseers twice a year.

  i think there were two occasions when i saw a district overseer give a talk at the hall.

  were eliminated as part of a streamlining process but who the hades has taken on their responsibilities?

  WOW !! So no more DO's! Just wish my mother was alive to see all the changes in the Borg, just wonder how she would defend them, like she always tried to do when I pointed out to her the Borg is nothing but a cult.

  Hey Sylvia, if you wanna talk athletes having babies to a female they're not married to, that will be the longest post ever on this site and any other site for that matter, the list endless.

  However, I myself know that's what going on and really doesn't bother me. but waiting for the days after she has the baby and is back in competition and still thanks Almighty Jah for her win. Can hardly wait to pester the folks with their carts in the subway stations about that issue.

  UC Berkeley Reverses order cancellation of Ann Coulter speech

  uc berkeley orders cancellation of ann coulter speech.

  officials at the university of california at berkeley on thursday reversed their decision to cancel a speech by conservative firebrand ann coulter.. the university had announced wednesday that it was canceling coulter’s appearance following several political protests in berkeley that turned violent.. but on thursday, the university said it had found a venue where it could hold the speech on may 2, instead of the original april 27 date.

  however, a leader of the college republican group that originally invited coulter said the university was placing strict conditions on the event, and he said his group intended to reject the new terms.. before the reversal was announced, coulter had vowed to go ahead with an appearance anyway.. that probably would have put security officials on high alert and might have sparked another showdown in struggles over campus safety, student views and ideological openness.. “what are they going to do?

  Well, being that she's over thirty and probably hasn't been to a meeting in years, I guess no one really cares. Although you can't play competitive sports with a big baby belly, I would just love to see her after one of her matches with the big baby after the win and hear her thank Jehovah like she always does.
