  downsizing.

  remember that word when changes come to the organization.. your witless relatives might object to your saying that.

  the "organization is dying".. so, ease them into the concept slowly,.

  Watchtower & Awake Subscriptions

  by Amazing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in another thread the point was made that the wts is ending subscriptions to the watchtower and awake!

  magazines.

  isp rightly commented the following, "the wts gets double payment for the mags from the r+f......so subscribers are not cost effective!".

  Stephanus,
  Newspapers will always exist. I am speaking directly about the JW in an industrialized nation. After all, when is the last time you saw a person reading a Watchtower Publication on a train? Newspapers, books, and magazines, yes, but hardly ever would a person read the Watchtower or Awake! magazines in public.

  Just correcting a sentence so I can be understood.

  refiners fire has a good point I would like to expand on

  Imagine this. In the future, Jehovah's Witnesses in industrialized countries will get their information from the computer. They would have to get a special password from the society, and then go to the society's site. It would be similar to subscriber sites. From there they would have to print their own study articles for the Sunday Watchtower Study.

  I know it sounds like a bad idea now, but in the future it may not.

  is it just me or does this strangely popular bible add a bit to the word?

  here's a 2 small examples.. 2 peter 2:9 - if this is so, then the lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment.(niv).

  I am not too surprised that you found inconsistencies in the bible translations/versions. Simply put there is no such thing as a 100% accurate bible. Most bibles are close enough, and I guess that is all that matters to most christians anyway.

  Blood is used as a clarifying agent in some wines. I found this in a wine dictionary.

  Filter - Use of too much clarifying agents (gelatine, egg white, albumin, Sparkalloid, kieselsol, bentonite, skim milk, Isinglass, Casein, ox blood, agar - agar, carbon, PVPP [polyvinylpolypirrolidone]), as filter aids; may give a slight odour and off taste to the wine when first filtered.

  I went searching the net, but I did not find anything to suggest Marsala wine had blood in it. I did however find this for you.

  Marsala is the west section of Sicily, and in 1798 they managed to substitute their own wines in place of the standard rum in an English naval shipment. In those seafaring days, something had to be done to wine to allow it to last the long ocean journeys. Brandy was added to allow the wine to last longer, and to be more resistant to temperature changes. These were called "fortified wines".

  Once the British had a taste of Marsala, demand grew quickly. In the United States during Prohibition, things became even more interesting. The typical Marsala bottles made the wine seem like medicine. People found that getting Marsala was less risky than other types of wine. While not as popular now, it is still used quite frequently as a cooking wine in Italian dishes.

  Marsala uses the following grapes:

  * white skin/berry grapes: Grillo, Catarratto, Inzolia and Damaschino for golden and amber Marsala
  * dark red skin/berry grapes: Pignatello, Calabrese, Nerello Mascalese, Nero d’Avola for ruby red Marsala

  Marsala is made in the "solera" tradition - a melding of years. First, a keg is put down. Subsequent years with similar tastes are placed in kegs above the first. When liquid is drawn out of the bottom (oldest) keg, it is refreshed with liquid from the next keg up, and so on. In this manner, the taste remains the same throughout the cycle, and every bottle you get has (potentially) some liquid from the very first vintage.

  Types of Marsala

  * Fine: 17° alcohol, aged >1 yr
  * Superiore: 18° alcohol, aged >2 years
  * Superiore Riserva: 18° alcohol, aged 4 years
  * Vergine Soleras: 18° alcohol, aged 5 years

  Marsala was traditionally served between the first and second courses. It is now also served, chilled, with Parmesan (stravecchio), Gorgonzola, Roquefort and other, spicy cheeses.

  I hope this helps.
