What a nightmarish tragedy; heartbreaking.... " I heared (sic.) this on the news, but the JW connection wasnt mentioned" so much for the "worldly press" sensationalizing the misfortune of the JWs.

Here's the best way to do a quick check on the NYC dining scene: http://ny.eater.com/
Two very important trends: outer-borough places, particularly in Queens and Brooklyn , are getting a lot of attention from foodies. With all due respect, Marchi's is a disaster, Manhattan's best Italian eateries are in the Batali-Bastianich empire, i.e. Babbo, Lupa, Esca and Del Posto. Lidia Bastianich's Felidia may not be trendy but it is superb. For under-the-radar French, try La Mangeoire or Cafe d'Alsace. For pizza, try Motorino Keste or Don Antonio. Of course, for a once-in-a-lifetime dining experience (and priced accordingly) there's Thomas Keller's Per Se; Daniel Boulud's Daniel or DB Bistro aren't too shabby, either.

WT Indulging In Nostalgia, Soliciting Memorabilia; What's Up?
by Room 215 inyou may have notice in a recent kool-aid watchtower, the announcement of its creation at headquarters of an archive of photos, objects, memorabilia, etc.
i noticed that the lavishly upgraded assembly hall in buckingham, pa. now display in the lobby, glass cases with all sort of such objects.
it wasn't long ago when they disparaged nostalgia as the preoccupation of spritually bankrupted wordlings who, bereft of any hope for the future, pitiably cling to memories of the "good old days"..... what's up with jehovah's "forward looking" people??

by therevealer inyes indeedy.
if you are fortunate enough to be approved you can report (as in be allowed to report) 15-minute increments.
i knew that older ones, for example, were encouraged to report even the smallest amount of service and the cong.

what's the point of all this micro managing? Most people round off (fudge) their reports anyway.

Yes, trying to talk people back into the organization is the main theme of the current Special Day assemblies; they've been pushing this notion hard since the Memorial.
