A fine figure of a man, if i do say so myself - and i do.
And can it be that that fashion plate sharing the podium with him is his spiritual siamese twin, Freddy "Brownshoes" Franz!
Ah, those were the glory years of god's earthly organization, weren't they?
is leolaia under best of topics or do i have to read thru all the posts referenced under her name which would be quite time consuming.
i can't find her name under the best of topics section.
thanks..
LV101 makes a good point; if anyone here deserves her own shelf in the "Best Of" library, it is Leolaia.
Let us hope that Lady Lee hears out supplication!
i came across this new youtube video, today.
this lady pours her heart out.
(i do not personally know her.).
I only have a technical criticism: I can;t hear her!
People, when you put something up on youTube, do what you have to do to NORMALIZE your soundtrack! If you don't know what that is, get some help from someone who does, please.
Yes, I'm old, but I'm not deaf.
here's a little idea i've been batting around for a while, and i finally produced several pairs.... for those of you who followed the "mouthy" situation, when she fell down, perhaps you know that i sent a pair of "yaktraxtm" to her.
they're produced commercially, and are made to slip over one's shoes to provide a grip on icy streets and sidewalks.. they're fine for the occasional usage, but when hubby and i went hiking, i found that the rocks and high-mileage hikes [8-12 miles] were destroying the "yaktraxtm" - sometimes even before i finished a hike.. i was going through a pair every two months or less.... so i came up with my own version - something a bit more durable.... i call them, "zidgrips".
and on the suggestion of heaven, i came up with another type, called "zidchains".. so, here's the story in pix - including how to put on the zidgrips and zidchains - which i'm including for heaven's sake... .

seeing as it's that time of year i've been reminiscing.
i used to volunteer as i really struggled to sit still all day, even with all the note-taking and sitting next to the deaf loop system and watching the bsl interpreter to try and learn a bit of bsl.. i have.... counted and voided food tokenspacked fruit bags at a sandwich stallcleaned the stadium at opening and closingcleaned and attended ladies toiletsmanned (or should that be womanned?!
lol) contribution boxeswhat did you do?.
The best job any young JW guy could have -night guard / night watchman. Make sure no demonic vandals were breaching the walls of the stadium, protect the Society's equipment and supplies.
Since you were up all those long summer nights with your buddies, you had to catch your sleep during the daytime sessions. It was a highly coveted position, naturally.
It was paradise.
the june, 2011 issue of the journal of religious history (religious history a sociological perspective) contains an article that some might find interesting (and perhaps a little naive) on jws and their history.
for what it's worth i dled it from a university webpage that pays to subscribe to the journal and then tried posting it on zhare, but didn't take.
anyone got another free, no-need-to-join host that i can post it on so all can dl it?
Well, I'm done. The people who publish The Journal of Religious History will not grant permission for the article to be reproduced here.
Sorry.

I got a reply from Dr. Knox! Unfortunately, under the terms of her agreement with her publisher, she can't opt to give away a copy of her own work.
I shall follow-up with a letter to her publisher.
In the meantime, here's her reply, with just a couple of redactions to protect the guilty:
Dear Mr [Natas],
Thank you for your email about my recent article in the Journal of Religious History. I am of course aware of the discussion group Jehovahs-Witnesses.net and of the vigorous debate on a wide range of topics which the forum facilitates.
I have received several requests regarding posting the article online by the members and moderators of a number of online communities. I have read carefully the terms and conditions issued to me by Wiley-Blackwell, the publishers of the Journal of Religious History. Unfortunately, the publishers have advised that I am not permitted to give consent to third parties to post the article online.
If you wish to pursue this further on behalf of the members of Jehovahs-Witnesses.net it would be best to contact the publishers directly. The Wiley-Blackwell Rights Department can be contacted at [redacted by NN]@[redacted by NN].com . The full bibliographic details should be cited in the request, as follows: Zoe Knox, 'Writing Witness History: The Historiography of the Jehovah's Witnesses and the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania', Journal of Religious History 35, no. 2, (2011), pp. 157-180. If the publishers decline your request to post the article to Jehovahs-Witnesses.net perhaps the forum's members will be able to access it elsewhere. The Journal of Religious History is a well known periodical with a wide circulation. Many libraries around the world subscribe to it either in hard copy or through online journal databases.
Thank you once again for your interest in my research. Please accept my apologies that I am not in a position to grant the permission you have requested.
Kind regards,
Zoe Knox
