  in just a few days reopened mind and me will be taking that big trek up to the north country.

  we have hit very few road blocks in the last months getting ready for our move.

  we will not be able to get high speed internet were we are moving to.

  TotallyADD,

  Is there any chance you may be able to work out a deal with one of your two neighbors(closest one) that have DSL where you're moving?

  In other words ask them if you paid the difference could they maybe upgrade their service on dsl and allow you to connect with a wireless hub/router?

  Of course this is all dependent on how close you are to them. Won't work if the distance is to great.

  The reason I ask this is I'm aware of someone who had similar issues and basically told the phone company to go screw themselves after getting the run around and talked to their neighbor and had a great turnout doing just what I described.

  But all of this would depend on distance of your house from theirs and how much bandwidth they are currently allocated and if they can even upgrade to a higher speed dsl.

  But anyhow hope you can find some resolution to this and can eventually join us from your new location.

  Regards,

  1984 WT cover -- Watchtower's Final Failed Prediction?

  by FatFreek 2005 in

  the infamous cover of that 1984 watchtower (27 years ago) was perhaps the last prediction / prophecy of the watchtower society.

  will there be any more or have they finally learned their lesson?

  some think they are like a race-track junkie and are addicted to predictions.

  VM44 I stand corrected.

  I stated she was the same and that would put her at 107 but my friend just said that she was the same and never said if she was still living.

  So looking over the SS info it appears she died at 99 years of age. So I ran ahead by assuming she was still alive when I saw the 107 years of age.

  My apologies on that part. I was just trying to take it all in by talking to him on the phone and reading what you had posted here.

  So that was totally my fault. He(friend) thinks she has passed away so the info on her being 99 at date of death (DoD)is probably the accurate one.

  VM44 I just contacted my friend/source again and he affirmed that the Louise Stemen in Maggie Valley,N.C. is the one and same as the one that was in Franklin years ago. So that means she is over 107 years of age and that would also mean that at least one of them off that Watchtower cover from back then is still alive. That is amazing.

  Or actually now that I look at his last name, I see what my friend was referring to.

  It is with two E's but not in sequence. Stemen has two E's whereas Steeman does too but in wrong place.

  The correct last name then is Stemen and that would make the most sense with what my friends were describing to me.

  Dear VM44

  You are absolutely correct on the part of N.C. that you came up with.

  That is the Congregation he was in when i knew them.

  Thanks for posting that. Great hunting on the internet as well.

  According to that it was with one E tho and not 2. But that was his address in Franklin,N.C. when they were there.

  FatFreek 2005,

  I just wanted to let you know that the names of the Steemans on this cover of the WT (the chiropractor and his wife) was Willis and Louise.

  They lived in N.C. for a time in the 1970's.

  I may have her name misspelled but his name most certainly was Willis.

  I asked a friend that is a little older than me that was in same congregation in N.C. with them about the spelling of their last name and he said he feels sure that it was Steeman. I always thought it was Steiman but according to him it was 2 E's in the last name.

  Thought I'd pass that along to you if it would help in any way.

  The odd thing is I did a Google search on his name and got nothing about land ownership in N.C.

  So I asked two others that were in his congregation in N.C. and they both said his name was Willis.

  Only thing I can figure is he either didn't own the property were he was located and rented it or it was listed in another name.

  And if I 've got the story straight it was after he left bethel that he and his wife went back to Florida.

  Oompa you remind me of that song that Billy Joel sings "Only the good die young".

  Especially the part where he says he'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints. The sinners are much more fun.

  This was also the second one in a row that me and my family missed.

  It felt so good to be at home and enjoying ourselves without the feeling at the KH of being crammmed like sardines into a box.
