  What happens if you show up at the DC with no badge?

  by JeffT in

  i'm thinking of going to one this summer to research an article i want to write.

  back in my time anybody could just walk in, but some recent threads sound like that might be hard to do.

  i'm also going to try to get a local paper to give me one time press credentials.

  Afraid to NOT shun???

  by cognac in

  2. friends

  i've often thought about this.

  what if some know the borg is full of crap but stay in for family.

  then, they run into a d'fed person and they want to embrase them but are afraid to do anything else but shun them because they are afraid the d'fed person will run to the elders and rat them out.... what are your thoughts on this?.

  "they want to embrase them "

  I never felt that caring about someone was a bad thing. If they run to the elders then, whatever!

  Gone in a Waking Dream

  i am caught up in quite the unexpected .... i hear the music of the sea and her companion sky.

  these luxuriant and melodic airs waft along the water's surface, carrying me effortlessly unto the azure expanse in an upward spiral whose magical transport i had believed attainable only through the office of a lengthy night's dream.

  yet, i am fully awake, cognizant that, surely, this is neither apparition nor a conjurer's trick.. dialogue between an alternating crescendo and decrescendo of liquid waves and gentle but persisting zephyrs of earth's vault: this is a strange enchantment, music uncommon to once earthbound ears.

  I think you may have ventured unexpectedly into the Bermuda Triangle. Ohh it's real all right.

  An insiders account: the effort that goes into a District convention drama

  by truthseeker in

  while much has been said about bible dramas in recent years, very little information has been given on the effort that goes into one.. i thought i would share my experience.. i played a minor role in the 2003 drama, "boldly witnessing despite oppsition".

  this was a full costume drama and revolved around overcoming opposition to the preaching work.. when a congregation is chosen for a bible drama, it is a serious responsibility.

  the presiding overseer takes full responsibility for the drama, and in effect becomes the director.

  "Concerning beards, the Society writes that it is "not proper for brothers to grow their own beards." In keeping with their charlatan statement that they do not go beyond "the things written" there is no scripture citation following this stern advice."

  That just doesn't make any sense to me. You can't have a natural beard.

  "My congregation performed the drama on three occasions, for different circuits."

  So, did you attend the full assemblies of all you performed in?

  Thanks for posting your experience. I always looked forward to the dramas when I was going to the assemblies.

  A smart woman behind every man

  barbara walters of 20/20 did a story on gender roles in kabul, afghanistan, several years before the afghan conflict.

  she noted that women customarily walked 5 paces behind their husbands.. she recently returned to kabul and observed that women still walk behind their husbands.

  from ms. walters vantage point, despite the overthrow of the oppressive taliban regime, the women now seem to walk even further back behind their husbands and are happy to maintain the old custom.. ms. walters approached one of the afghani women and asked, "why do you now seem happy with the old custom that you once tried so desperately to change?".

  dear friends,.

  i have.. i was out of town doing three days of hard physical labor at 7000 feet, in the blazing sun.

  five pounds lost may not seem much, but i sure can't seem to lose it by diet alone.

  "One of my favorite memories."

  I really believe that the best things in life are free.

  A solid gold rocket car would be pretty sweet though.
