The elder who studied with me told me that a Witness wrote the song "Downtown" but had originally titled it "Uptown". I did some brief research but all I could find is that the writer is Tony Hatch.

Where do you think the US is headed?

since you all are a critical thinking bunch...i thought i'd put this question to you.. i'm a born and raised us citizen as is my husband.

ever since we left the borg almost 2 years ago (wow, time flies when you're finally having fun!

), we've paid more attention to politics.

Eruption:"Just a final point, how bad must the surrounding countrys be, that thier people want to live in the USA ?"

People would rather live in Canada but it has only 1/10 th the population of the US, therefore it can only absorb a much smaller number of immigrants. That's why it's much more difficult to get into Canada than the US.

Parroting in the meetings

by dgp in

in the one meeting i attended, i noticed that some witnesses were creative in the answers they gave to the questions, while others were simply repeating what the magazine said.

i remember that, at the time, i thought the creative ones were also the smart ones, while the others were lazy, and that no doubt the creative ones would rank higher in the watchtower.. well, i think i have changed my mind.

it seems to me that those parroting the questions are, in a way, the smart ones.

The reason the Ivory Tower speaks of dual world powers like the Medo-Persian and the Anglo-American is simply so that they can account for those heads of the "seven headed beast" that have two horns.
