i went to my parents' place for supper yesterday.
as usual, i got on the subject of the society.
my mother told me that she talked to a friend of hers about the un thing, and her friend knew about it.
Ask her how the elders in her congr. feel when they see a Library Card falls off from her pouch with UN symbol on it?

well i did .....all the time.
it always bothered me that i couldn't even stay awake to thank my god.
i found out later many did the same.
Your question is very interesting, for I always fall asleep at the middle of my prayer before and I did ask many closed friends about theirs(usually they express same behaviour). And now, after 4 years left WTS, I found out I never fall asleep as before. I realised that, now I don't have any CULT bothers my time anymore (meetings, working hard with field service, prepare for meetings , Kingdom Hall services, etc...). YES, I'm free from "undesrved" sleeping (borrow the "undeserved" from WTS). The Cults always make you "work more and sleep less" The result is whatever they said, you 're so tired then only accept them all, a kind of brainwash. How many time at night meetings, you feel hate towards brothers and sisters give long comments ?

i really wanna know.
i need the most accurate version to refer to in order to continue a project i'm working on.

For me New American Stadard Bible and New Jerusalem Bible. I did double check sometimes with Revised Standard Version too. Good News Bible is the one I admire because it's simple but quite accurate (Eugene A. Nida behind this version, that's why).

john paul ii started the new year by insisting that peace is "possible" and thus a "duty," and he called for a new international order.

what do you think would be the first steps to take in order to obtain world peace?.
YES, As long as the "Peacekeeper" like USA no longer produce arms (do you think they will give their arms' firms worker be laid-off?)
and all the big mouth "pacificists" like Watchtower Bible and Tract Society won't have shares in arms' companies

does anyone know if a letter from the wts has been sent to the congregations about their being a member of the un as an ngo?
or has it just been told to the elders and then the rank and file hear about it if they ask the elders?
i know the wts said it was to get a library card but i need to know if there was actually a public announcement to the congregations about it..

So I better watch John Depp in "Chocolate" ? Yeh ? There is no pirate, no ghost in this incredible film. I love to watch it over and over again. Especially, whenever I watch it, I always recall about my D.O.. HaHaHa.
