The only use statements like this when they've been caught in an error. All the rest of the time you are expected to take everything they saw as if it came straight from God's mouth.
They can't have it both ways.

11Not that old chestnut....
by quellycatface injust come off the phone to my mum.
she asked me why i da'd from the wtbts, she'd been to the meeting this morning and she'd been at the bottle as well - not a good combo, for her, anyway.. i said i did'nt want to go into it too much, as i may stumble her.
she kept pushing so i said, last year i was'nt happy about the overlapping generation doctrine and did'nt agree that the org had taken bits out of the nwt.

I got to hear the Ninth at the Seattle Symphony two years ago at Christmas. What a great night.
I doubt there is a classical tune on earth that can put a scratch let alone a dent in any of these stats.
If people are still listening to Eminem two hundred years from now, you can have that debate with somebody.

Make them fill it before you take it. I don't rent cars often but they always have full tanks. I think it might be the law here.

For those in need, legal marijuana should be on sale by then. Might be one way to get through the DC if you can't get out of going.

The only thing in this world we have complete unquestionable control over is our own mind, and our own thoughts, and how we choose to frame (or think about) things.

Don't go to the bathroom for two days then see if you can control your thoughts well enough to think of something else for an hour.

Interesting, I went to several in the Kingdome and Tacoma dome. The bigger venues certainly make it seem like something important is going on. I wonder if anybody looked at traffic patterns in the area, I'm sure making it impassable will be a great witness to the citizens of Seattle.

Any Amateur Astronomers Out There?
by cofty ini have recently revived my interest in the night sky.
there are a lot of great sights you can identify with just a pair of binoculars.
i am currently relearning how to navigate my way round all the constellations and find some of the best objects.. i live out in the country so we get almost total darkness right outside my front door.

I had a four inch reflector as a kid, alas the mirror pitted over the years making it unusable. We're thinking of buying another telescope of some sort. I noticed last night that the moon will pass very close to Jupiter tonight, they'll be right overhead approaching midnight.
I hear you about about relearning to navigate the night sky. I've forgotten almost everything I used to know. Being a city dweller doesn't help, when I was young we lived out in the country.

BTW: anyone know if you can block TV channels?!
Simon, obviously I don't know what cable system you're on. I just looked and I can do it on Comcast (its a parental control code). I expect other systems have something similar.

Taking Back The Kingdom Halls.
by RunAsFastAsYouCan inthesis: the kingdom halls as a real estate entity could be couped; coup d'etat.
a group of 3 elders as trustees could sell the kingdom hall out from under mother watchtower corporation.
spread the money to the community or non profits, or just give it as a distribution to the congregation who paid for the kingdom hall.

The Watchtower has plenty of lawyers. I suspect that no matter how the land is titled the Watchtower Society has a lien against it, which would make transfer of title impossible without paying off the lien.
Edited to add, I think the society could also foreclose on the property if the agreement between the local congregation and the Society is breached. A few years ago a bank served my boss with notice that he was in default of his loan agreement due to crime in one of his apartment buildings. We were current on the loan, but violating other terms of the agreement is still a breach of the contract.
