november 11 is remembrance day in canada.
i believe it's called veteran's day in the us.
is this anniversary of the end of ww1 recognized in other countries?
This year the 11th of November is celebrated as father's day in Finland. It is counterpart for mother's day celebrated by the second sunday of May. This father's day is also fixed to sunday so next year it will be 10th.
Here these days are sort of "be decent to me at least one day a year - never mind the rest".
We do not celebrate any of the idea described above messages.

my daughter just called me and said to look up at the sky to the left of the moon.
there were two huge red glowing areas in the sky.
the weather is clear with no clouds.

Same here in southern Finland this morning, red aurora at 5.30 local time and moon visible as well. What a fine sight.
at 11:11am on the 11th of august 1999 was the time of the last solar eclipse of the mellemnium.. 23 months later.. on september 11th the twin towers collapsed..

Greatest eclipse took place 11.03 somewhere north of Greece:
You are right in the sense that time period from first sign till the eclipse is totally over take time. Anyway that is one of these numerology observations that came up after the tragedy.

The last TOTAL solar eclipse of the said millenium was 11th of August 1999. During year 2000 was 4 partial solar eclipses:
http://sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse/SEcat/SEdecade1991.html
And quoting only one exact time is boloney. The shadow created by an eclipse glides over Tellus surface it is not a single moment. This 1999-08-11 eclipse took place 10.51...11.03 UT and and was not visible in US as TOTAL. And even deliberate choosing of time zone would not fit 11.11 timing.
I would rather leave these mispresentations to WTBTS as they are specialized on this field. They might start from 1988-09-11 eclipse that happened 13 yrs ago.

hello all.. i was hoping a few of you would do me a favour.
a local news editor has asked me a question.
he has asked why is this un/wts story important to the local community?.

Do not know about local people, but my personal disappointment was deep. I did my time in prison for a cause that I was proud of even after being DF'f 30 years ago. Few years after us JW's were exempted and I felt proud as this was because our determination.
To me this WTS/UN was scandalous and I feel betrayed after all these years. The whole thing may well surpass several earlier blunders put together.
Funny enough - I take it as a personal insult. I did accept the terms then and believed in the Scriptures and logically did not expect any major changes. Changes came along but this alone would have been the limit.

ummmm what am i up to now?
its ok, i'm just being mischievious.. so graham norton was on channel four this evening in japan, what a very peculiar race!!.
which countries do you think that you could not visit for knowing that when you were there, you'd just fool about laughing at the absurdity of the culture and why?

Bear in mind that these things take some time. In UK a Select Committee of the House of Commons appointed on the 13th February 1895 (not a typo) to inquire wheter any and what changes in the present system of Weights and Measures should be adopted, recommended as follows:
-That the metrical system of weights and measures be at once legalized for all purposes.
-That after lapse of two years the metrical system be rendered compulsory by Act of Parliament.
Weight and Measures Act was passed 6th August 1897 yet more than century has passed and it seems that transition time was too short.
The way dates are expressed is numerous. Years ago I decided to go logical and started writing units in decending order for example 2001-10-31.

During 12 years I had numerous longer tech training periods for 1-3 months at a time in London, Paris, Zürich, Manchester NH and Wilmington MA. This is the order my memories run from positive down. I do not blame any other than myself, but to my experience there is a wide gap in general between these two continents. Habits and attitudes are different and the one that adjusts easily will have least difficulties.
In Wilmington MA I was the only one attending training outside US and it was heartwarming to hear people from California constantly referring to the East Coast with names. I never forget that I was remainded that it was not proper to eat ice cream before 10 am (they had a vending machine for it). They made remarks for me dressing casually during training and wearing my suit at evenings as they behaved just vice versa. Fortunately we were downstairs as I was told that in the office they had limited the number of pens one carry in shirt pocket. Also set temperature limit for men wearing short sleeves. Some of them could not understand me having a steak instead toast and maple syrup at breakfast etc.
These experiences did not depress me understanding that I was the odd one out, square, whatever. It is very much up to one's own personal attitude. Why anybody would travel on ones own expense and free will without first learning about the destination. If travel goes with your emplyment you eventually get used to these differencies.

i've been lurking here for a while now, posted a handful of times, but this board has had a profound effect on me.. i have just finished reading coc which i would never have even heard of if it wasn't for this board.. anyway, in light of everything i have learned here, i have been waiting expectantly for the next unsuspecting jw's to knock on my door, just so i can er, 'enlighten' them.. about 15 minutes ago, just that happened.
i answered a knock on my door to be confronted by two jw's.
one of them i remembered vaguely from a neighboring cong, and the other was someone i knew pretty well from my old cong.. so what did i do?

Living in next to backwoods helps but those three calls I have had for past ten years I have mentioned my DF status and the young lady witnesses disappeared in no time at all. This does not count an elder telephoning me and us having two lenghty conversations about my possible reinstallment (whatever is the proper term).
