i keep hearing - recently at a circuit assembly and also in the new jan 15th wt the phrase - progressive.. now i know people will argue that the gb are very conservative and not progressive but we (active jws) keep being asked are we progressive?
this is because of all the changes (progression) vs. continuation of the past.
we all know changes have been made and are on the way - some have been announced officially but i truly believe the rank and file are being [prepared for yet more changes - hence progressive as the phrase of the moment.
The Peoples Progressive Truth(TM) Generator says:
"Roller Dave, you are an exploiting corporate criminal because you think that Western society has had a positive effect on civilization!"
So there!
As far as the WT being conservative, I've been reading the literature that was given me a few months back by a brother I knew when I used to attend. I was surprised to see some of the rags they quoted. Pretty lefty sources, IMO.

And as usual "progressive", in this case, really means going backwards.
sorry, couldn't resist!
Control the language, control thought.
this rollerdave guy, is he for real?.
i mean, the guy just seems larger than life and has so much drama going on, and now there's more of them with the introduction of the wife/gf and daughter characters you gotta wonder.. do any of you have any real experience with this joker?.
are the wife and daughter just him in a wig and a falsetto?.
>>Character On>> I say there is no way he is real! This is just a prole, a puppet of the evil BushCheneyHalliburtonWarforOil administration! Look at his posts, if you don't believe it! He's an enemy of The People(tm) and a Thought Criminal(tm)>>Character Off.
Roller Dave, You're as real as they come and an important balance herein.

a british museum has canceled a lecture by dr. james watson, co-discoverer of the dna double helix, after he claimed black people are less intelligent than whites in a recent newspaper interview.. watson, who won the 1962 nobel prize for his part in discovering the structure of dna, provoked a storm of criticism after his comments were published in the sunday times.. the eminent biologist told the british newspaper he was "inherently gloomy about the prospect of africa" because "all our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours -- whereas all the testing says not really.".
watson, 79, had been due to give a lecture at london's science museum on friday but the museum canceled his appearance, saying his comments had "gone beyond the point of acceptable debate.".
The Nobel Prize is much overrated, Jimmy Carter won it (!?!) and so did this guy... (and oh yeah, don't forget that Prince of Peace Arafat)
"strangle hold" the title sounds bad, but it is such a cool song.
fires me up.
Stranglehold, for sure.
My ex gave me two tickets to see him this summer at the Fair. My ears rang for two days.
:)

we live in a time that basically loyalty has become a price tag.
if someone you know, does something famous or becomes famous, it is only a matter of how much your price would be to actually cash in on your connection.
time and time again, famous people have been burned by close friends and seen their personal information all over the tabloids monthly.
Freetobeme--You make great observations. Truth is there have rumors for years on end of his *activities*, and as you point out, if he was there looking for some sort of sexual encounter he seemed to know how to go about it. But others have done worse, and much worse than being an in-closet homosexual. Craig says he plead guilty b/c he was told it would be kept quiet if he did. But should he be forced to resign?
Ted Kennedy, left the scene of an accident that was his fault, knowing that Mary Jo K. was in need of assistance and didn't report it for 12 hrs. Why wasn't he found guilty of manslaughter? He's still firmly in office.
Barney Franks' "life-partner" was found guilty of running an escort service out of their condo. Like Frank didn't know that was going on???? He didn't resign.
I can't remember the name off hand of the Senator or Rep found guilty of having a sexual relationship with a 16 yr. old page. Did he resign? No, he recv'd a standing ovation from the democrats upon his return to the floor.
We won't even go into the President who had sex (or was it sex?) with an intern who was under the desk that his wife now wants to sit behind. Or all the credible reports of his sexual abuse of women.
sorry if this has been discussed a thousand times before.. .
my heart says no let's all get along and love each other and show respect to the individual.. my mind says yes.
unfortunately not everyone else agrees with the above.
No need to apologize RD, your thoughts were clear. I'm never unarmed either.
Too bad we don't hear about the armed rampages that are stopped and the lives that are saved by law abiding folks with concealed carry permits who just happen to be in the right place at the wrong time.
