Some of the more "well thought of" Ministerial Servants are allowed to give both "home" and "away" public talks, but this is quite unusual and not practiced by every congregation. Most Ministerial Servants either give no public talks or just the occasional one in their home congregation. They are often "groomed" by being given the occasional half a public talk. This way the Elders can make two Ministerial Servant's happy little bunnies instead of just one.

My advice is just don't use the hopelessly out of date Internet Explorer. Every other browser (the ones that have had some kind of development work in the last five years) have pop up blockers built in, just take your pick.

Yes, absolutely Simon. In fact Google makes an excellent home page as there is very little on it to slow the page loading down.

Actually, I think you are the first person that has posted this here. It's amazing how much publicity the lawsuits have got today - all over the US, Canada and even Great Britain. Well done to everyone concerned with the press release.

Why does the Government *OWE* You?
by teenyuck inwith all the recent political threads, i have a question.
what do you think/feel/believe the government or your country *owes* you as a citizen?.
i am talking about pensions, health care and other *social services*.

The government owe us a stable country, and to make decisions to ensure that the economy and the wellbeing of the countries citizens are taken care of. It's very easy to make simplistic statements about the role of government, wouldn't we live in a wonderful country if taxi drivers and hairdressers and various guys down the pub were in charge - don't you think so?

Next New Light??? Heaven's Doors Closed in 1935
by Elsewhere inthe persistent passage of time has forced the borg to literally redefine the word "generation" to suit their needs (it now means any group of people within a span of time that can go on indefinitely).
i'm starting to get the impression that they are going to have to do something with the 8000 or so people who insist on partaking of the emblems every year, thereby identifying themselves as "anointed" and heaven bound.
in recent years they have tried to discourage people from partaking by emphasizing that they could be crazy or diluted or puffed up with pride if they partook (don't ya just love my jw speak!?!?

Good point elsewhere, I've always accepted this as a fact. I always considered anyone who is a young (pre-1935) annointed person as a phoney. I would appreciate any quotes from Watchtower Publications about this doctrine.

I hope you can find somebody ASAP, because from the looks of things the brothers at that particular convention got a lot more than just dreary talks and the new Great Teacher book!
