you may find it of some interest to learn that one of the united states?

leading musicians, lorin maazel, has been commissioned to write an opera; his subject matter is what he termed one of the most important books written in the 20 th century, "1984.

his new opera will be premiered in europe, probably some time in 2005.

Hum,
I thought someone would actually find it a bit remarkable that this monumental effort is being based on such a (JW significant) book as 1984. Of course it is a long way off.

barbara anderson and joseph anderson vs watchtower society.

as you may remember the watchtower has petitioned the circuit court of manchester tennessee to dismiss the case against them filed by barbara and joe anderson.

Good!
I am as much for the Anderson?s as anyone, but let?s not be too euphoric too soon. Motions to dismiss are standard. Most defendants file such motions on the faint hope that the motion will succeed, all the while knowing that they usually are denied. Even cases that are not particularly strong are usually allowed to go forward.

It's inane comments like this that prove how little we can trust the 'scientific community'

The scientific community has reported the problem. Of course, the scientific community can be blamed, but it usually, eventually "tells" on itself, and that is far more honest behavior than what we observe in the JW leaders. We all have the JW community in common here. The scientific community is refreshingly honest when compared to the JW environment.

since many of you are curious about divorce, witness-style, here goes:.

first, you maintain good relations with the 'good old boys" - er - i mean the elders.

tell 'em how awful.
Sam Beli

You are spot on Met; a former JW Pioneer taught me this technique up close and personal many years ago. I think she wrote the book on how to do this with skill and finesse.
