Will only Canadians rejoice, or can those in other parts of the world join the celebration?

Syn and Scully,
Jay Leno showed "Supper Sized" Depends last night for use during the supper bowl. Guys can wear these during the game so that they do not have to leave the TV during the commercials, nor during the game. They are good for up to nine hours of continuous viewing, so perhaps they would be suitable for the GB too.
Just a thought,
Sam

Some have said that in the USA Direct TV will carry the Fifth Estate on channel 366. However, the listings for this channel do not show the Fifth Estate at any time that I can find.
Waz up with this, and where does this listing show up?
Thanks for any help with this issue.

Waiting, this is for you from Consumers Reports:

Model year: 2003 Vehicle type: Small car
Mini Cooper
The new Mini, developed by BMW, manages to blend much of the rakish charm of the old '60s classic with modern levels of cabin amenities and safety. It is powered by an all-new 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine, paired with either a five-speed manual or a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The manual version offers easy shifting and crisp throttle response. Handling is extremely agile, but the ride is choppy and the base engine lacks oomph. Road noise is pronounced. Tall people will find the cockpit roomy, but the rear is very tight. A supercharged S model with a six-speed manual is quicker and grippier but rides more harshly. The Mini features an extensive roster of safety equipment.

New for 2003: No significant changes

WT Denies Anointed Have Special Divine Insight
by Smiles in

2. beliefs
the wt hierarchy seems to invalidate their "anointed" members, in print, by the following quote:.

watchtower 1991 march 15, page 22.

"who really have a heavenly calling".
Sam Beli

"
Professing to have a heavenly calling does not bring a person special revelations . God has a channel of communication through which he provides spiritual food for his earthly organization. (Matthew 24:45-47) So nobody should think that being an anointed Christian gives him wisdom superior to that of the "great crowd" with the earthly hope. (Revelation 7:9) Spirit anointing is not indicated by proficiency in witnessing, answering Scriptural questions, or giving Bible talks, for Christians with the earthly hope also do very well in these respects."
The first two sentences are conflicting and typical of JW double-speak; that is, assuming that all anointed are equal. That is the official position of the FDS. However, as we all know, some anointed are more equal than others.
I suspect this statement was published to "put younger (newly) anointed" in their place. The old boys who comprise the GB do not want competition. They want no rivals to their authority.

Sounds like a strong line-up, except perhaps for David Gnam, Council for Bethany Hughes, who certainly will have an axe to grind. It will be interesting to see how the others respond to him.
Please make this available later on-line for the many of us who are not located in Canada.
Thanks for the notice, Beans.
