From laundry mat to laundry mat
by donny inabout three years ago, i was walking past a local laundry mat and i noticed some of the society s publications laying on the chairs by the window.
so i walked inside and found an awake from 1995 and a watchtower from 1989. the latter one was funny to me because i was still in the organization when it was released.
i couldnt help but be shocked at how old these magazines were.

Moshe - great idea. Very "Green" because the paper can actually be re-used!

I recall many publishers who ordered as many as 10 copies of the WT and Awake every issue, @ 2 issues each per month, that is about 40 mags.
Remember, they paid the WT Society cash up front . there was no way these people were selling, oops, I mean, "placing", that many mags per month.
Bottom line, once the WT printed up this tripe, and shipped it, it was cash.
I am sure a lot of those here recall the once a month reminders that our lit bill to Brooklyn was due and we needed to cough up.
What a racket.

John the Baptist beheaded on Herod's birthday. Why?
by leaving_quietly init was in this week's bible reading.
mark 6:21: "but a convenient day came along when herod spread an evening meal on his birthday for his top-ranking men and the military commanders and the foremost ones of galilee.".
look at the various renderings of this verse.

What do the historical facts about Christians, Jews, Islam and Mexican drug cartels have in common? A tendency towards bloody butchering of other people.

The best meals were the hot lunches put together by the sisters when a KH was being built. I was once in charge of coordinating the meals. Easiest, best job ever.

I used to volunteer for "expediting". Our circuit assemblies were held at county fairgrounds. The circuit would rent an exhibit bldg, and fit it out with a stage and set up hundreds of torture devices called "METAL FOLDING CHAIRS". As a teenager, I volunteered for everything.
In a nearby building they set up a field kitchen. I would take trays of hot food to the foodservice stands in the back of the main hall where the sisters would be slapping together burgers, etc and selling them to the faithful during the dinner break.
One freezing cold November in '63 (Lancaster, CA.) I was going back and forth with trays of hot food when a gorgeous 15 yr old young sister in a white turtle neck sweater caught my eye. She was volunteering in the food consession. When I got a break I purchased a hamburger from her and flirted a little bit in my awkward 17 year old, 6'1", 135 lb, horned rimmed glasses way.
By August of '64 we were married.
Still are.
