  This campaigne is the same as the last 2 tract campaigne. Publishers get 50 tracts to distribute, pioneers get 200 (i think). There is a time frame, i think about a month to distribute to all in the territory.

  First, a very basic presentation is given. If no one is home, the tract is just left in the door/mailbox. If the congregation territory is huge, or they get behind, the tract is just delivered, no knocking.

  The message in this one was disappointingly one of the same old, like Waiting said, the same lines as have been given the last 30 years.

  KN#34 was particularly difficult to deliver. Very anti-catholic, hard language used. Many complaints from Catholics in the territory. #35 was a nicer message. About neighbourly love or something, but at least the message was more that of Christianity and showing love. Not a bad effort.

  I find it is likely an effort to get weak ones out in the ministry, as it is "easy service". Plus it generates alot of hype, and people do take the tract, which makes you feel good. I think these tactics are wearing thin though.

  But then again, lots are still caught in the loop and enjoying the KN#36 campaigne.

  Hey, thanks for the responses guys!

  I never did include Pierce, because while I do like the new Bond, I think there's definitely a break with the old and it would be like comparing apples to oranges.

  Roger Moore was just to slimey

  (LOL)

  Timothy Dalton
  Sean Connery
  Roger Moore

  Not that its important or anything, but just part of an ongoing debate when the subject comes up.

  I think Roger Moore was pretty cool as Bond.

  I reluctantly clicked on the links as I am admittedly a lazy reader. I am pleased to say the links are worth the visit. Minimal reading is involved

  "Must You Believe It?" - Dec. 1st Wt ...

  *****posted by "venice" from h2o*****.

  would you believe it if someone told you that the december 1, 2000 issue of the watchtower gives its readers permission to reject the published conclusions of the organization if these should in any way contradict god, ignore his word, and violate common sense?

  you decide.

  The most renowned of thinkers have been proved wrong again and again, even though what they taught seemed at the time to be beyond dispute….

  Isn't that the truth.

  I mean, it seemed to make so much sense "at the time to be beyond dispute", did it not? But that was really because no one was in actual fact permitted to dispute anything without consequence.

  Who before 1995 could really come out and say "i don't believe "a biblical generation" means a "generation"? Who would have thought "abstaining from blood" would one day mean you could take parts of it? It just made so much sense at the time. Nowadays, explanations seemed to be stretched beyond reason.

  On paper, once again in the age of cult awareness, the WTS can point to their printed material and say "see, this is what we teach, that people have a right to disagree with what someone in authority teaches." They can vote, choose their own medical treatments. Sure we can, but at what price?

  Best song off the album in my opinion.

  Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  I'm not afraid
  Of anything in this world
  There's nothing you can throw at me
  That I haven't already heard

  I'm just trying to find
  A decent melody
  A song that I can sing
  In my own company

  I never thought you were a fool
  But darling look at you
  You gotta stand up straight
  Carry your own weight
  These tears are going nowhere baby

  You've got to get yourself together
  You've got stuck in a moment
  And now you can't get out of it

  Don't say that later will be better
  Now you're stuck in a moment
  And you can't get out of it

  I will not forsake
  The colors that you bring
  The nights you filled with fireworks
  They left you with nothing

  I am still enchanted
  By the light you brought to me
  I listen through your ears
  Through your eyes I can see

  And you are such a fool
  To worry like you do
  I know it's tough
  And you can never get enough
  Of what you don't really need now
  My, oh my

  You've got to get yourself together
  You've got stuck in a moment
  And you can't get out of it

  Oh love, look at you now
  You've got yourself stuck in a moment
  And you can't get out of it

  I was unconscious, half asleep
  The water is warm 'til you discover how deep

  I wasn't jumping, for me it was a fall
  It's a long way down to nothing at all

  You've got to get yourself together
  You've got stuck in a moment
  And you can't get out of it

  Don't say that later will be better
  Now you're stuck in a moment
  And you can't get out of it

  And if the night runs over
  And if the day won't last
  And if our way should falter
  Along the stony pass

  And if the night runs over
  And if the day won't last
  And if your way should falter
  Along this stony pass

  It's just a moment
  This time will pass
