In that dumb Arnold Schwartzegger movie, "End of Days" it was said that 666 is 999 upside down and that if you added a 1 then you had 1999 and that was when the end of the world was.
Yeah...right!
we have all heard all the crap about 666, now does anyone have any conjecture or idea about 616?
i have only heard of one possible conclusion to this so far.
616 is generaly found in the oldest manuscripts.

do you remember the excitement of a brand new box of crayola crayons?
running your fingers over the perfectly sharp tips, none broken or peeled.
all 96 colors like flesh (now peach), indian red (now chestnut), periwinkle, goldenrod, green blue (now retired),lemon yellow (now retired), and new colors you may not know about such as macaroni and cheese, purple mountain's majesty, granny smith apple, and pig pink.
Closer2fine, your daughter's picture reminds me of a Mardi Gras parade. Anyway I hope your daughter keeps up the good work.
When I was about a 2 years old my Mom took my Crayons away from me, because I ate several of them.
My sister was taken to the hospital around 18 months old, because she stuck a crayon piece up her nose.
today at my parent's bakery, this old lady came and bought $6.20 worth of pastries.
however, she wanted to pay me, in pennies!
under most circumstances i would never do this, but it was at three in the afternoon, when it it dead in the bakery and she was really nice so i agreed.

at a funeral, the family of a certain individual were mourning the person's death.
then they looked at the tombstone.
on one side of the tombstone it stated the usual, the name of the person, when they were born and when they died.

On the bottom it stated:
"For years you guys wanted to know my secret for making chili and I told you the only you would find out would be over my dead body."

today my mother informed me that the husband of the woman who she first studied with died yesterday.
to be honest his death didn't effect me one way or another since i hadn't seen in years and i was never that close to him.
i don't remember his name, but what i remember most about him was that years ago, when i was a kid, several of the young people in our congregation nicknamed him "lazybutt.
Well Skeptic what bothered me was that in the congregation at that time there was a lot of nepotism. It bothers me that elders in the congregation were encouraged to participate as much as they could while this guy did nothing and got away with it. I never really hated the guy. I guess I just handle death differently than most people.

I don't remember his name, but what I remember most about him was that years ago, when I was a kid, several of the young people in our congregation nicknamed him "lazybutt." Privately I called him "lazyass." The reason he got that nickname was because he never did anything in the congregation. He would come to the Kingdom Hall with wife sit on his fat 300 pound duff and never did anything. He never gave parts, never held the microphone, never went out on service, and he never even answered in the meetings. Yet this guy was always in good standing with the congregation. (Could it be because most of the elders were his sons or were related to him in some way? No, of course not.) Anyway, he is gone now. Cancer got to him. So I say we all bow our heads in a minute of silence in memory of "lazyass."
"Lazyass" (*holding a drink in a toast*) this is for you big guy.
one of the many things that totally amazed me when i first read ray franz's first book was the way in which jw's bribed the authorities to get their "pink slip" to say they had completed military service.
not only that, they were also listed as reservists for the mexican army.. does any one know if those jw's are still listed, and if so, shouldn't they be d?a's by their actions?
?
I lived in Mexico for about two and a half years. I never heard of this story, but it wouldn't surprise me. Mexico is nortorious for corruption and taking bribes and after hearing several of the stories involving the Watchtower it probably happened.
