It was not convenient to have bible study at my house, so one of the ladies said I could just go out in field service and hang out and learn from that.
I had heard some interesting stories about the organic farm at bethel and one in south florida. Mind yu, I was still pretty new knowing this group.
Anyway, when Annie came to pick me up to go out in field service...I was waiting.
heck. I thought we were going to pick cotton or something. All these new terms and nobody tells you what they mean.
I think there needs to be a book of JWspeak for the new people. Or is that part of the iniation, too? Just hear it till you catch on or figure it out?

Leolai...
Are you smart because you wear glasses? Or to you wear glasses to look smart? Anyway, you are very pretty and "wholesome" looking.
Not quite as "librarian" and draconian as I thought!
Nice to put a face with the name. I always enjoy your contributions.

I am very sorry that you had to experience this in your life.
Are you aware that you can probably finish school on scholarship if you go to counseling over this?
My friends dorm mate committed suicide. She took a breather for awhile and when she returned, school paid all her expenses till she graduated.
there is some law now about being traumatized on campus and the responsibility of the school.
Ask around.

The conventional explanation for the name Chernobyl has been that it means 'black grass' or 'black stalks'. In attempting to link the events of the nuclear accident to biblical prophesies, it has been claimed (see Schemann reference below) that the name of the city comes rather from a Ukrainian word chornobyl’, and that this word refers to the mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris). Mugwort is a close relative of wormwood (Artemisia absinthium). As a result, chornobyl’ has been translated by some to be the equivalent of the English name wormwood.
This translation is a matter of extreme controversy, as are other aspects of the prophecy. Some may claim the bible is speaking metaphorically, whilst others do not see any connection whatsoever. Further analogies include the reference to a "star" as the equivalent of an "uncontrolled nuclear meltdown" like Chernobyl and "burning as a lamp" as an analogy for a relatively small contained nuclear reaction burning on Earth when compared with the "great stars" in heaven. Therefore, these analogies could be seen to link Chernobyl to a prophecy for some who read the bible. However, critics point out the partially far-fetched nature of said analogies, as there was no falling involved in the accident and above prophecy could as well point to ICBMs carrying nuclear warheads.
The idea of a Chernobyl-wormwood link appears to have spread to the West with a New York Times article by Serge Schmemann ("Chernobyl Fallout: Apocalyptic Tale", July 25, 1986) in which an unnamed "prominent Russian writer" was quoted as claiming the Ukrainian word for wormwood was chernobyl.
On the other hand, the word chornobyl’ does not appear in the Ukrainian bible. The original Greek (???????, apsinthos) is translated as polyn (?????), which refers to the the genus Artemisia, which includes both the mugwort (Ukrainian: polyn zvychaynyy 'common polyn', or chornobyl’), and the wormwood ( polyn hirkyy 'bitter polyn').

Just some food for thought, Ozzie. Non-approved by wbts. Just interesting takes on the "wormwood" theory.

Gen. 7:2 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.

This is from the production:
Food at the Proper Time.
The elders sang a new song: "Let them eat cake; just give them new Bibles"
I heard that show was also produced in some of the Ethopian assemblies.
