  Driving Down Old Roads

  strange how the hardest thing to do is nothing, and you could swear the devil is trying to get you.

  i got a phone call the other night i knew would come, on old road beckoning.

  it was a great one, too, beautiful in so many ways, but at the same time riddled with potholes and dangers to me.

  I like seeing where somebody tells me I’m doing the right thing and its supposed to be this hard BECAUSE it’s the right thing to do

  You are doing the right thing & it seems hard BECAUSE it is the right thing to do!!

  it was announced that for the 2006 int'l convention overseas, only pioneers for at least 15 years or elders for atleast 15 years are allowed to be delegates.

  has there always been restrictions on who can attend?

  i can't remember as it's been so long ago.

  We had an international assembly years ago in Sydney & I remember thinking what a crock it was. What is the point? It was sort of needless travel when we should have been thinking/doing theocratic stuff, right?! Maybe it is a retirement travel plan for special pioneers? If you hold out long enough, you may get to travel overseas !!! oh bummer - to a convention ...

  i don't know whether this particular song is still in the new brown song book, but the chorus goes:.

  'fear not those who kill the body, but cannot destroy the soul,.

  to the end continue faithful, i will bring you to your goal.'.

  WBTS Discontinues Publishing Deluxe (Gold Leaf) NWT Bible!?!?

  would some hearty and reliable soul who still attends meetings of jws confirm and elaborate on the letter being read to congregations in the us this week regarding the discontinuing of the publishing and distribution of the "deluxe" nwt bible in favor of a "soft cover" version of the same (whatever exactly that means) instead???.

  (g_d, have things really come to this???).

  I used to have a maroon-coloured soft-cover deluxe edition which I had forgotten about until just now. Where did it go? I had it for years!!!

  Actually, may have ended up in garbage bin in the big cleanout.
