  this is taken from daily telegraph, sydney, 22.9.42, after a convention had not been allowed to go ahead.

  mrs inez stoop, a jws tract distributor, said yesterday: 'do not ask me why the conference was not held.

  you are from a newspaper, and all newspapers and their reporters are of the devil.

  2. scandals

  this information is taken from thesis by peter strawhan, 1984, re jws in australia in ww2.

  rees was head of jws in australia, who were banned 1941-43.

  jws contributed 10,000 to war bonds from cash accumulated during ban, reported to knorr july 1943. rees: ?of course the fact that we took out the bonds has not been publicized, but we have seen to it that the government officials such as security, army, manpower, etc, know of it.

  Newbie - missing friends - need advice!

  by JW83 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've been out for a year and miss a couple of my friends a lot.

  someone told me a saying yesterday, though, that some friends are for a reason, some are for a season and some are for a lifetime.

  i'm usually not into corny sayings but that one made me think.
