Oh, and I loved his reaction to the bartender when he ordered a martini. The bartender asked if he wanted it shaken or stirred and Bond replied, "Do I look like I give a damn?" I actually let out a burst of laughter on that one(I think I was the only one to do that in the theater). I think everyone was expecting him to initiate the infamous line of, "Shaken, not stirred."

A reminder on Shunning family members again in the January 15th Watchtower!
by Gill injanuary 15th watchtower 2007 'remaining steadfast when a child rebels'.
'when discipline is severe'.
'if your child is unrepentant and is a baptized christian, he may receive the strongest form of discipline - being disfellowhipped from the congregation.

included are children who were raised in it but never baptised and left.
If this part is included in the article, then how should JW's who view the new Knocking documentary feel about the film maker(who is also gay)? Should they avoid him? Avoid anything he says? Films?

has anyone seen this site of scanned WT material?
by truthsearcher ini came across this site run by an active jw.
http://www.strictlygenteel.co.uk/.
there is no comment on the scans other than to say the site is being run as an alternative to "apostate sites":.

Hmm, let's see. My old Dirtclod site wasn't "apostate." I didn't have any commentary either. But the WTS still thought it needed to be taken down because of scans of their documentation they deemed as "copyrighted."
Give the WTS time. I'm sure they will
threaten with a C&D letterkindly ask this brother to take down his material as well.**Added: This person doesn't even provide scans. How are we to know that he didn't change the wording of the original works?

I am lucky to have proffession which is higly required in my country and in the modern world in general, thanks to God. I am system analyst - computer programmer!
Ah! I see that you are currently living in India.
To answer the question, I would start looking for other prospects...just in case. Don't wait around at your current job to see if the axe will fall or not. It's better to have something lined up rather than waiting for the last minute to look around. If you happen to land another job, great. You can always bail on them if your current situation improves before you are required to make the transition. This is another one of those reasons why it is important to have a savings that can at least get your family by for three months if one or both of you cannot work.

Appearing Now at Bethel!
by AuntieJane inok, i didn't know what to title this subject.
but ...my question is: exactly what does one.

It doesnt matter if the 20-year-old sheltered bafoon from West Virginia doesn't have shit for brains - if he has been at Bethel longer than you, you have to obey him and not even propose alternate techniques for doing the job.
And that my friends is how you eventually run a corporation into the ground. The longer they keep the talent muzzled, the worse they will become over time. But that's good for us!

I saw this on opening weekend and thought it was one of the best, if not the best, of the Bond films made. The problem I had with all of the other films was "reality." I know, I know, we're talking about JB here, but c'mon, you know what I am talking about. Casino Royale finally hit the reality mark. Even the chase scene at the beginning was pretty believable.(although I think some sprained ankles would have likely happened in real life) And the other thing I liked about it -- they didn't play the corny card throughout the movie, at all. They turned it into a serious film.
Here's to hoping that the Bond genre has now changed to drama/action from quirky-comedy/action.

Blood fractions insert covered in tonight's service meeting
by becca1 infor those still "in", how did this part go over in your congregation?
we actually had a brother raise his hand and comment that he could not explain to a doctor why we allow fractions and obey the command of levitucus to pour blood out on the ground.
i wonder how many others felt the same but did not have the never to comment openly?

Sounds like someone will be getting a quick talk in the back room or a "shepherding call" soon...

Yet another way for the WTS to lose money
by Jourles inmold.
it's amazing that this little 4 letter word can cause a building structure to be shut down.
it is also a fact that this fungus can release toxic spores which can create many unknown illnesses in people of all ages.. i was recently told by a very reliable contact that due to the nature of the quickbuilds, most kh's utilize some sort of underground hvac system.

Mold. It's amazing that this little 4 letter word can cause a building structure to be shut down. It is also a fact that this fungus can release toxic spores which can create many unknown illnesses in people of all ages.
I was recently told by a very reliable contact that due to the nature of the quickbuilds, most kh's utilize some sort of underground HVAC system. Since the ventilation ducts are placed under ground level, moisture can seep into or allow condensation to form in the ductwork. If this moisture is not properly evaporated, mold can form and its spores can then be freely spread through the air into the kh. Someone with HVAC or even RBC experience should comment on this further. If you participated on a RBC, you should be able to confirm this situation.
So what would happen if mold was to be found in the kh's? First off, the kh would have to be shut down. Drats! If the duct work of the HVAC system is partially located in the foundation of the kh, can you imagine the costs involved in repairing the problem? The KHAA fund would be depleted in no time. How many thousands of kh's are there in the USA alone?
How many kh's have you been in that smelled musty or moldy? I've been in a couple during my lifetime. How many of the r&f that complain of feeling ill are not making it up? Could they have been or are continually being exposed to toxic mold spores from the kh? The WTS knows about this. The Jan. 7, 2004 letter to the Bodies of Elders states in part:
The branch office is receiving an increased number of reports that there are moisture related problems in Kingdom Halls. Left unchecked, moisture from water leaks, condensation, filtration, or flooding can cause thousands of dollars of damage to building structures and finishes. All leaks(pipes, roofs, and so forth) must be repaired immediately. If the affected area is not cleaned and dried within 48 hours, further problems may result. In high humidity areas, the HVAC system may have to be set to run for a short time each day, even when the hall is unoccupied. This will aid in drying the air and preventing dampness and mold. If you have a serious moisture problem that is beyond your ability to properly repair, please immediately contact your Regional Building Committee or the Kingdom Hall Desk in the Service Department for assistance, if the Regional Building Committee cannot be reached.
Anyone who is still attending meetings should take notice. If your hall smells musty or you have more than a handfull of people who complain of feeling ill all of the time, it may be due to mold growing in the kh. Make the elders test for mold. If they refuse, take the issue up with your local gov't health office. Keep pressing them! Getting the kh shut down isn't such a bad thing, is it? And making the WTS pay for repairs is icing on the cake. If a lawsuit were to come out of this where it could be proven that mold contributed to the failing health of someone that regularly attended the kh, that would be a nice bonus.
