My absolute favorite musical. I saw it at the Fox in St. Louis and followed up with a summer show at the Muny. Would leap at the chance to see it again sometime.

Watchtower cleans out Kingdom Hall Library's ...
by RR inlast night i got a call from a chap in the uk, who recently left the jw's.
he wanted to compare notes with his us counterparts.. he said that a few years ago, (i think about 2 years ago) the society cleaned out all the literature from every kingdom hall, particularly russell and rutherford books and anything prior to 1950. giving each hall a computer with the watchtower cd rom for them to use for research.
he wanted to know if the same was done in the states.

Honestly Kingdom Hall libraries are merely decorations. Who actually reads those old books? They have their hands full keeping up with the continual printing of new books, magazines, etc. I think the only use Rutherford's books got at my old hall was when I was a kid and we used to look at them to find the pictures of breasts.

lol - my username was chosen at random and has no meaning. I wanted to be anonymous on this forum but then they added gravatar support and there I am smiling for the world to see.

RR - you'll love this experience.
When I was still a JW about four years ago I got to looking at the old Russell era literature in the library and brought it to the PO's attention about the pyramidology and stuff in it, which I considered Satanic. He mentioned that the Society? CO? had mentioned something about getting rid of the old literature. I don't know if it was a recommendation or directive. It seems that if it was a directive it would have already been done. If it was just an encouragement I could see why they hadn't yet followed through. I don't remember the exact details of what as said.

Did you loathe going in field service, if so why?
by HappyGuy ini always felt like i was not a "spiritual" person because i loathed going in field service.
i'm not even sure why i loathed it.
i am very outgoing and can talk to anyone, anytime, about anything.

I didn't like it but during the last year when I just went out with the Bible it actually was a much better experience. However if you want to talk to actual people about the Bible there are much better avenues instead of wearing your nuckles out on empty homes.
(I also loved sausage egg biscuts from Hardee's - that was consistently good.)

Charles Taze Russell: His Life and Times: The Man, the Millennium and the Message
by RR incharles taze russell: his life and times: the man, the millennium and the message by fredrick zydek is the latest biography on pastor russell, and i must say i am very impressed.
i have read other historiees on the pastor russell by zydek (all unpublished manuscripts) but this one is far better than the last one authored by charles redeker aq few years ago.
zydek is a catholic.. the author is neither a bible student or a jehovah's witness.

How does this compare with Charles Redeker's "Pastor C.T. Russell: Messenger of Millenial Hope"

More time talking to each other or householders in the field: You decide......
by dissed inthe jw's annual report has lots of numbers to consider, but this one is probably the most misquoted and misrepresented by them.. 1, 500, 000, 000 hours in the field (note: that's time in the field, not talking to interested ones).
now, they can write their own rules on how to fill out a field service report.
door to door - 8 hours (480 minutes) using the 'dissed rule' of 10% that's 48 minutes of actual talking in the field per month.

One I time I went to a homebound woman's house for the ever popular phone witnessing. How it worked was, one person would make a call which took a maximum five minutes on a really good call, but typically much, much less, then the women would spend the next five to fifteen minutes chatting before another person would take a turn. When I questioned them about this practice they mentioned that if they were working regular house to house they would spend a similar amount of time talking/walking between doors. It made sense to them but not to me.

In the WT Jesus is sometimes referred to as Lord but it is not a common for Witnesses to say as it would sound too much like "Christendom"
I was looking at JW WT fan page on Facebook someone here had linked to. Now four years removed from that religion it was incredible to see how much they speak endlessly about Jah/Jehovah and the suprisingly lack of mention of Jesus. As for my personal experience in my final year as a Witness I started getting into hot water with the local BOE who felt that I spoke about Jesus too much. This even when had a very JW mindset and barely appreciated Jesus. The early Christian Congregation did not have this problem. From what we read in the New Testament they had no fear of having to mention "Jehovah" four times for every one time they spoke about Jesus. If anything there was the fear of not speaking about Christ enough.
