Picture on today's New York Times was of some police/military folks at a checkpoint at one of the ramps to the Brooklyn Bridge. In the background was Factory Bldg #2. You could just make out the beige bldg with the green window frames. I hope they're checking all those Bethelite ID's on the way in!

Yikes!

Also, I am concerned about suicide bombers doing their thing here. That subject has been in the news a lot the last week or so. Just like in Israel right now - someone could walk into Times Square with a backpack full of explosives and just detonate.

Hmmm...Lesee here...OK - here's all the stuff between the lines that many may have missed on first reading:

(Damn well BETTER be zealous - but what about?)
Friday
Imitate The Zeal of Our Lord, Jesus - Joel 2:17
Morning
930 Music
940 Song 193 and Prayer
950 Rejoice In Coming Together as Kingdom Proclaimers (just not too much - please see the Attendants' signs)
1020 Hearing from Fellow Kingdom Proclaimers (This is where you get to hear "real-life experiences" from fellow Dubs who have been coached for 2 weeks)
1050 Song 151 and Announcements (by "announcements" we mean that we'll be telling you that using more than one paper towel in the rest room is UnChristian, and that we're already behind in contributions to cover the expenses of this stadium)
1100 Take Exquisite Delight in Jehovah Himself (Here's the buildup to some guilt-bombing...)
1120 Show Yourselves Thankful (...and here's some guilt for ya!)
1150 Keynote Address: Kingdom Proclaimers Fired with Zeal (trans: If you don't show enough "zeal", be prepared for some loving interrogation I like to call "Three Men and a Bible")

Afternoon
200 Music
205 Song 92

230 Symposium: Micah's Prophecy Strengthens Us to Walk
in Jehovah's Name (right about now, your lunch is working its way through your digestive system, making you very sleepy...very...sleepy...)
Jehovah's Servants Have True Hope (Because WE teel them they do!)
We Will Walk in Jehovah's Name Forever! (we will never live down 1914, 1975, cartillas in Mexico, blood, protecting pedophiles, etc.)
What Does Jehovah Expect of Us? (who knows? we're just guessing, here - but we bet it involves ZEAL. and LOTS of it)
330 Song 80 and Announcements
340 Maintain Chastity by Safeguarding Your Heart (Stay off of JW Singles.com!)
400 Guard Against Deception (the internet is inherently EVIL - except for OUR site, of course, which has nothing but the TRUTH in its pages)

1100 Song 161 and Announcements
1110 Why "Pray Incessantly" ('cause that's the only thing we can fall back on now)
1130 Spiritual Conversation Builds Up (Don't discuss the following in casual conversation: pedophiles, voting, blood, JW "bible chronology", Judge Rutherford's alcoholism, suicides at Bethel - well, you get the idea)

1220 Song 55 and Intermission
Afternoon
200 Music
205 Song 158

240 Trust Jehovah Completely in Times of Distress (and by "Jehovah" we mean, of course, US)
310 Song 47 and Announcements
320 Symposium: The Quality of Our Faith Tested by Various Trials (Like Dateline NBC running that farsical story about how we harbor pedophiles - outrageous!)
Suffering Persecution for the Sake of Righteousness (by "persecution", we mean any form of criticism from within and outside)
Meeting the Issue of Neutrality (Yes, you may vote - but you must still remain neutral and you won't have ANY priveleges in the cong.)
Faithfully Enduring Trials Brings Praise to Jehovah (The biggest trial of all being the fact that WE'RE IN FOR A HELL OF RIDE AFTER MAY 28!!)
420 Draw Close to Jehovah (we're not exactly sure how to do this, but we'll give you a bunch of scriptures to look up that will show how "drawing close to Jehovah" means you BETTER not go to "apostate" web sites!)

1100 Song 183 and Announcements
1110 DRAMA: Stand Firm in Troubled Times (In case you haven't caught on by now, this is where we REALLY hammer you with guilt about those web sites you've been visiting, as well as prepare you for all the coming "persecution" from the media, householders, work- and schoolmates, etc.)
1140 Be Like Jeremiah-Fearlessly Proclaim the Word of God (and be sure to wake Grandma and the kids, since they fell asleep when the lights went down for the drama)
1200 Song 70 and Intermission
Afternoon
130 Music
140 Song 129 and Prayer
150 Public Discourse: "The Scene of This World Is Changing" (more prep for the upcoming "persecution")
235 Song 181 and Announcements

angharad has abandoned me and gone on a girls night out!.

to cut a long story short - i'm starving to death and the end may be only minutes away .... there is a large white box in a place called "kitchen" (hey, it lights up when you open the door!
