I support having a rating system for books like we do for video games, movies and cds. Children can still have access to these things if the parents so wish. Even as an adult I don't like to be surprised by certain kinds of entertainment. If something contains sex or strong language,etc, I'd like to know that going in and choose whether or not to read it. Preventing other people from having access to it is just ridiculous.

Book-Burning in Wisconsin
by daniel-p inthe colossal stupidity of some people amazes me.
here we have people worried that homosexuals are being portrayed as people, and demanding that such young adult books be labelled as sexually explicit.
in classic religiously-deranged fashion, the ignoramuses ignore the actual message of a book, rather choosing to vilify and marginalize those of other beliefs.. http://www.cnn.com/2009/us/07/22/wisconsin.book.row/.

What woke you up to the WTS?
by megaflower ini was in service one day and the sister i was working with said," i will start to enjoy life once the new system comes".
sirens went off in my head.
basically, she was saying she was miserable but would wait till the new system to have any happiness.

FHN's first post pretty much sums it up for me. I will add that I found the elder arrangement to be a sham. They were supposed to be a help to us, gifts in men, a hiding place from the storm and a refreshment. When I talked to someone from Bethel over the phone explaining how the elders were hurting rather than helping I got a snotty, "What are you talking to them for?"
That was my last day as a JW.

My mother is a huge fan of Mystery Science Theater. It's a show where some guys watch old B movies and make fun of them. She taped every episode off TV. One movie they watched was called "A Touch of Satan." So Mother labels the tape "A Touch of You-Know-Who." Like he wouldn't know it was about him!

I'm willing to do a pic for the girl's calendar.
As for names, how about "12 months of days of years of days."
I like the idea of ficticious bios. I think we should write a bunch of bios and randomly assign them to the pics.
I would totally pay for these callendars.

Question
by purplesofa inno biggie, .
but i was looking at this youtube video of the international convention in germany.
the video is of the crowd clapping and cheering fullon seven minutes.. at the beginning though, there are people with orange vests on and they seem to be the ones.

We used to play the clapping game. Everyone claps for the baptismal candidates as they file out of the stadium. Clapping dies down. Wait for it . . . start clapping again. The whole stadium claps with you again. We managed to do this up to six times. You've got to time it right. Ah, the easily led.
