I caught a largemouth bass, about 16" and it had a feather in it's throat. I grabbed it with my fishing pliers and gave a tug, it was in there pretty secure, maybe still attached to the bird. I took out the hook and let it go. Fish are preadators and a pond or lake my look serene, but it is really a violent place, eat and be eaten. Hudson Valley NY

It's a mystery how and why very educated people in law or medicine continue to support Watchtower. I personally knew a dr. at the farm and also a lawyer that gave up a good practice, moved to Patterson to work exclusively for Wat. Both of these guys very well respected in their fields. How can these educated men support an organization that is so anti-education and inventing doctrine just to cover past failings? Why would they continue to allow a group of self-appointed company men dictate what they should believe? Guess it shows anyone can be duped, just as we were, but that is not a satisfying answer.

Stones preparing to CRY OUT?
by irondork intracking the rolling stones of racetrack playaby: shannon dybvigit's the time of year when the sailing stones of racetrack playa in california's death valley are on the move.
no one has actually seen these huge rocks move along the flat, dry lake bed.
sometime, when no one's looking, usually after freezing weather or heavy wind or rain, the rocks up and scoot themselves leaving unmistakable travel grooves in their wake.

1975 - A weak argument?
by Christ Alone ini posted this on an older thread, but i wanted to get an honest opinion about this from all of you.
i think taking the 1975 approach with a jw is...weak.
was it wrong (and false prophetic) of them?

I was there for '75. Don't forget that the furor over '75 didn't just stop immediately after '75. Once '75 passed, we felt that now we a REALLY close, big A could come any day, hour, or minute because it is now due. It took a while for that urgency to fade. Hudson Valley NY

Was There Ever A Circuit Overseer That You Couldn't Stand?
by minimus ini know this has been discussed before but i think a fresh thread on this will be enjoyable.

Yes, I remember bro. Hans. Very nice, genuine man. Humble. Had an expression something like "we want everyone to feel good." I think he actually raised a family before circuit work. Believe he was a truck driver. Long time ago I heard through the grapevine he lost his eyesight. I remember when Lett was our CO. I went out in service with him. He was OK after you got use to his faces. WORST was a old (way too old for circuit work) bro. Nash. One of the worst public speakers. Had my worst day ever in service with him. He was pushing working business territory. We had almost no business territory, but there was this gas station run by a man about my own age who I knew well and I also knew his feelings about JW's. That was our first call and when we got there I said "I'll take this call myself." I wanted to prevent a problem. I got out of the car real fast with a Family book in my hand (he had a family) and I just said "you and your wife may like to read this," everything was OK then Nash came over and said the wrong thing and ******said "the thing I don't like about Witnesses is you don't pay taxes" and Nash said "young man you don't what your talking about" and the fight was ON. This place was a real redneck hangout. About 6 other guys were there witnessing this old circuit overseer brother fighting with the owner of this gas station. I wanted to crawl into a hole. In the car Nash bragged about how he defended the truth. I said before you got out of the car he was going to take that book, now I'll never be able to talk to him again. Hudson Valley NY

Not a yard sale, but at an auction a few months ago I got a fairly new Nutone central vacuum cleaner system, with hoses and attatchments for $25 bucks. Installed it in my house and it works great and because the unit is in the basement it's very quiet, you can really hear the suction.
