  i haven't attened a meeting in 5 years.

  i was wondering what the wtbts has to say about the popularity of vampires we see currently in pop culture.

  are they saying its evil and from satan?.

  They are ok if they are "vegetarian" vampires like the Cullen family in the Twighlight series!

  i have been doing google searches on ray's passing and have not seen anything other than what has been posted on the ex-jw bulletin boards.

  i thought i read a post by barbara andersen talking about an ap release to be sent out.

  has anyone heard anything more...it would be a shame for ray's passing to go unnoticed outside of these forums..

  Thanks for the update Juan and crownboy...I hope some of those inquiries make it through and stimulate a story!

  Blondie, I think that Barbara said AP was going to do some type of a release, but I haven't seen it picked up yet.

  That is a good start...I wonder if the original Time reporters are still there?...since the original article was written 28 years ago, I suspect that they have moved on. I wonder if there would be any interest to pick up the ball by someone else there? Where would you start to pose that possibility?...the editor?

  I would love to see some type of a follow-up by Time...they might not buy "Man of the Year", but it certainly would make a great "overcoming adversity" human interest story.

  I've seen it several times, as I live 20 minutes from the location. The church is currently experiencing some problems in their leadership and have seen their income drop. They recently sold their retreat, Rancho Capistrano and canceled their "Glory of Easter" production due to financial concerns. Rumor has it that there was a split between the Schullers regarding succession in the ministry...

  I have a Kindle and absolutely love it! Being able to download books wirelessly while on the go is fantastic. With that being said, I think the iPad is very intriguing. I will probably get one at some point...especially if they make Kindle format books compatible with the iPad.
