It's that time of year again
by Seven in[quote]8 there were also in that same country shepherds living out of doors and keeping watches in the night over their flocks.
9 and suddenly jehovah's angel stood by them, and jehovah's glory gleamed around them, and they became very fearful.
10 but the angel said to them: "have no fear, for, look!

Hey Drives, Can't wait for that ham! I ordered it from a local
smokehouse. It's not too salty-just right. -

Thank you waitingfor posting the highlights of the article on the birth of Jesus. The bible does not condemn the celebration of birthdays. Nor do I think Jehovah God would frown upon us celebrating the greatest birthday of all time. I have plans to celebrate this year
for the first time in a decade. If all of heaven could stop and rejoice then my string of midget lights and smoked ham should offend no one. -

The Catholic Church
by Pathofthorns infor all that we've trashed the catholic church as though they've been some kind of "arch-enemy" of jehovah's witnesses and christianity itself, its quite facinating to see this once strict religion gradually abandoning its teachings and becoming more mainstream.. its quite interesting to see how centuries held beliefs can be abandoned due to changing times.
i think there are many more similarities between the catholic church and witnesses than we realized, despite our insisting how radically different we were.. i'm not saying the attrocities committed by the catholic church are somehow equal or less than mistakes made by jehovah's witnesses.
but i do think that the pope's acknowledging and apologizing for many of these earlier this year is a step in the right direction.. i guess they get new light too as they've changed their teachings on hellfire, and now they've even opened up heaven to non-catholics.

Path,
I think the Catholic church has made some good moves to keep itself in existance.
But then again with 1,013,000,000(1998 figures)members worldwide or 1/6 of the world's population, the loss of a few million members is insignificant. It remains to be seen if we could survive after taking such a hit. It appears to me that as
other denominations move toward the left becoming more liberal a decrease in membership follows. If we were to see some long overdue major reform, I wonder how many of us who have left would reconsider and return? -

The last I heard, they were auditioning a few new members. I hope it works out. They had such a beautiful and unique sound. They sang one of the most beautiful renditions[did I spell that correctly?] of the US national anthem I've ever heard.

How do I say goodbye to what we had?
The good times that made us laugh-outweigh the bad.
I thought we'd get to see forever
But forever's gone away.
It's so hard
To say goodbye
To yesterday.
*
I don't know where this road we're on is going to lead.
All I know is where we've been
And what we've been through.
If we get to see tomorrow
I hope it's worth all the pain
It's so hard to say goodbye
To yesterday.
*
And I'll take with me the memories
To be my sunshine
After the rain
It's so hard
To say goodbye
To yesterday.

Goodbye
