  Once again a double espresso and a fine Armagnac with a Montecristo cigar from me. Don't know whether I can stomach 4 hours of AGM though.

  Allegheny Pyramid Desecrated

  by RolRod in

  sometime within the last 2 weeks, someone took a sledgehammer to the pyramid monument in allegheny.

  they stole the topstone, smashed the cross and crown emblem and removed the seal.. personally i'm surprised it lasted this long untouched.

  although through the years russell's grave has been vandalized, it was always repaired by the bible students..

  It will be a very sad thing if the head stone is not replaced. It seems like an attempt at rewriting history. ]

  The founder of the religion in direct contact with the creator of the universe in an unmarked plot? Scandalous, total lack of respect. It's a desecration worse than the ignorant vandals that did the original damage.

  Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
  As I foretold you, were all spirits and
  Are melted into air, into thin air:
  And, like the baseless fabric of this vision,
  The cloud-capp'd towers, the gorgeous palaces,
  The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
  Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve
  And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
  Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
  As dreams are made on, and our little life
  Is rounded with a sleep.

  From The Tempest, Act 4 Scene 1

  Three and a half more years of Biden ...

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  how is the biden administration doing so far?.

  biden reversed trump's plans for the border wall, and now america has thousands of illegal immigrants entering from mexico.. strangely, biden didn't reverse trump's plans for withdrawal from afghanistan, and instead pressed ahead with his own brand of lunacy, literally running away from afghanistan and abandoning its people to the taliban.. what is it with biden?

  is he senile or just incompetent?

  With an orange narcissist in one corner and an incompetent idiot in the other, I agree with you. Politics is just broken, it probably always was.

  Perhaps we need a universal govern... Oh hang on!

  I honestly can't remember a more crazy, divided period. It seems that any pretence of any thing resembling a desire to improve lives rather than exercise naked self interest has gone forever.

  Just to clarify. The hall has not been sold. On the contrary it has been effectively commandeered. The ownership is being voted, at the instruction of the beneficiary (IBSA) . If the assembly hall(s) come back into use then presumably circuits will pay handsomely to use the building. If the building becomes redundant, then it can be sold without further reference to those who built it, made the sacrifices materially and financially to do so.

  So, not sold... yet. As for the future, who knows?

  Sorry, I meant to add to this yesterday.

  I heard the letter read and then the immediate zoom resolution. 100% acceptance of course, questions invited but not asked.

  The ownership of (according to the letter) all Assembly Hall trusts is being transferred to the International Bible Students Association (IBSA).

  This is another step in the continuum in which all assets are being gathered together under the WT direct umbrella.

  There was a huge amount of time money and possessions put into EPAH to my knowledge. I know of sisters who gave family valuables, heirlooms that should have been kept for their children/grand children that were just poured into that hungry maw. Now, poof, it's given away for nothing. It can be disposed with without any further discussion.

  Just voted away in a five minute max decision. It's totalitarianism in my book.

  Do you know who the smallest man in the Bible was?

  Surely a contender is Nehi The Benjamite.

  Hey Grandpa, this looks like the original transcript i.e. officially issued. The layout suggests that. Can you confirm?
