  on october 2, 1914, charles taze russell, founder of the watchtower, announced that the gentile times have ended!.

  tomorrow will be exactly 100 years since his historic announcment.. to commemorate this centennial occasion, i will gladly take bets in any amount of money that the world will not end tomorrow and that on friday, october 3rd, 2014 gmt, we will still all be here, for better or worse.. any die-hard jws interested in taking the other side of this friendly little wager?

  still hoping the big "a" is coming tomorrow and your loving god, jehovah, is going to commit mass genocide and execute 99.9% of earth's population because they don't follow the dictates the 7 members of the "faithful and discreet slave," aka, the governing body of jehovah's witnesses?.

  Something like The Waltons, set in another era, has a timeless quality.

  Shows set in contemporary times become really dated after a couple decades; especially if they are trying to be hip or futuristic.

  No, there is no legitimate reason for anyone to stand in line for days/weeks to buy a phone. After the line is served, you can walk into the store and get one. It is complete and utter stupidity.

  I believe a number of those people that are first in line are paid by Apple marketing to hype up the latest phone release.

  i kind of wanted to know if some have made this transition from escaping the satellite/cable monopoly to the large antenaes that require no monthly bills.

  does it work?

  is there a good quality such as hi def?

  Quarterback not only is there high def; its the best quality HD picture available compared to cable/satellite.

  Yes, there are broadcast DVRs on the market. Tivo, Simple.TV, or use any Windows 7 or later PC with TV tuner.

  http://www.antennaweb.org/ will guide you to what channels you should be getting as well as direction to aim antenna and what kind you need for your exact location.

  From what information I can remember about this direction 2-3 years ago is they are just repeating the reasonable recommendations of the government...72 hour kit ("bug out bag")...family should have a pre-determined location to escape to, if not more than one.

  What got ridiculous was when the elders started asking for us to fill out spreadsheets on all persons living in the household (whether they were witnesses or not,) their congregational status, if they had DPA filled out, who held their power of attorney and I don't remember what else.

  What is with the 'red carpet arrival' of the delegates??

  Also, the convention is a religious football game now? With fans that make their own logo paraphernalia and hold up written signs/banners? With post-convention interviews?
