The Washington Navy Yard is a ceremonial and administrative center (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_Navy_Yard) . Nobody there was bombing anybody. The victims of the shooting were civilian contractors, making them even more removed from violence. In other words they were ordinary folks doing jobs to support their families.
In my opinion you might find it beneficial to contemplate the idea that being an arrogant, self-righteous, ignorant blowhard carries its own karmic burden.
I've tried a couple of times. Made it the first time, not the second two. I've got two other projects I'm working on right now (one sort of JW related) I'm putting on my block and a sci-fi piece for some military history people I talk to on another board. Maybe I'll try to finish the second of those on Nano, I'll just adjust my starting point for the word count. Might be a good way to finish, rather than start, a book.
You guys be sure to friend me, if I'm in I'll let you know.
i was shocked when i heard a circuit overseer include a strange comment in his concluding prayer at the end of this sundays meeting concerning the adjustments discussed in the watchtower.
he said, in part (and im paraphrasing) thank you jehovah for the governing bodys unapologetic manner in providing these adjustments.
i thought to myself, what a strange expression to make in prayer to god!
This CO is either signally the fact that he's waking up, or (more likely) he doesn't know what "unapologetic" means. I've never seen the word used in a positive context, usually its something like "Anthony Weiner remains unapologetic for sending dirty pictures via the internet." Saying the GB is unapologetic means they have something to apologize for but won't.

i've discovered that i can't bring myself to listen to more of the convention program for the simple reason that its about as interesting as drying paint.
the same holds true with reading watchtower publications, there isn't any content to analyze.. at the same time i'm trying to work out some back story problems with my fiction regarding religion.
twice i tried to write up that back story for nanowrimo, without success.

At the same time I'm trying to work out some back story problems with my fiction regarding religion. Twice I tried to write up that back story for NaNoWriMo, without success. Among other things I need some feedback about what I'm writing. I'm also trying to impose some discipline on my writing, as it seems to be my career these days.
Accordingly, every Sunday I will post a chapter of "Armageddon's Prisoners" on my blog (so I can quit bugging you folks with these announcements). Comments are welcome, I need to hear from my readers. Chapter one is going up now.
i need help... i need to know certain things regarding watchtower history.
for example, i know via jwfacts.com that the wts has printed various treatises on revelation.
in order, "the finished mistery," "light"... etc... until the "revelation" book now.. i need to know the order of publication of the following:.
I just took a look at a couple of sets of numbers I have available. The 2013 yearbook shows 269,777 baptized and 7,782,346 publishers, meaning baptisms equaled 3% of publishers.
The 1975 yearbook is one of the few publications I kept, which shows 2,021,432 publishers and 297,872 baptisms. Baptisms equaled 14% of publishers.
The really fun number is hours. In 1974 it took 1245 publisher hours to make a convert, last year it took 6506! So they are still sucking in a few people, although I think they are baptizing a lot more of their own kids at younger ages than they did back in the day. However, they are vastly less efficient at doing so.
yay...my awesome friend justitia just found out last night she passed the bar exam.
regardless of how you may feel about her you gotta admit that is an accomplishment..
Congratulations, Justitia.
here are some picture in my neighborhood.. our house was not affected.
there is possibly more flash flooding expected tonight.. in the picture below our house sits at the bottom right corner about 2 blocks out of frame.
yesterday and tonight we are staying in another town with family.. .
Our daughter lives in Boulder. She's OK, last we heard, but she and her S.O. moved everything valuable to the second floor.
