I think I've said this before They should have stuck with the 1995 generation teaching that it meant the wicked other than invent this overlapping nonsense. Another option would have been to scrap 1914, cut their losses and move on.

by cofty inedit - "the days of noah" damn!.
long story short - i need to go to bed!
i was in edinburgh today with my wife (football, coffee, walks, food, cinema) and i always try to take 10 minutes to have a chat with the jws on the trolley in the "big city".. i challenged an older guy who turned out to be an pioneer about the generation.

A "body of elders" or really one main guy?
by Simon inthe wts promotes the idea of congregations being managed by a body or elders who all follow their rules and so are in full agreement with how things should be done.. was your hall like this?.
out hall was a constant battlefield for power between a couple of elders and their families - relatives that had been promoted to various positions.
it wasn't some hidden secret, it was blatant and obvious.

Usually the most aggressive fight it out for top spot and the rest of the elders follow -

Are Parents Who Shun Their Children At Risk?
by Englishman inwho looks after the welfare of ageing witness parents who have disfellowshipped children?
are these df'd children (actually, some of these df'd children are in their 60's) meant to ignore being ignored and then care physically for their non speaking parents?
also, can df'ing your own children lead to witness parents suffering illness or even death as a result?.

I know an older couple who shunned both of their dfd children in a harsh manner as per watchtower direction. When they couldn't look after themselves anymore their children wouldn't help and neither would the congregation. -

A few months back or perhaps longer( time flies) there was an article about reaching out to be elders in the study edition that was omitted from the simplified version. I guess they don't want simpletons to reach out. -

I've been to a fair amount of live shows over the years (10-20). The mrs and I went to les mis a couple of months back and despite all of the hype it wasn't that great of a show IMO -

Same as what cappytan said.
If I was going to take a project like this on it would have to be individual tracks to see what could be done then remixed and mastered.
Great voice btw

Devouring the Forbidden Fruit - Higher Education
by cappytan inwell, i told my wife over the weekend i was going to go back school to finish my degree.
she is 100% supportive of it!
apparently she doesn't think higher education is so evil either.. since my former major was computer programming and that was in the late 1990's, i was told i'd have to retake a bunch of classes since times have changed.

$90 per publisher in canada. It really isn't that much when you think about it.
