Dec KM indicates extreme paranoia over booking hotels NOT on the list

by truthseeker in

over the years, the society has included half a page in their annual guidelines when planning for and attending the district convention.. in particular, they have been very insistent that only hotels on the recommended lodging list be used.. .

the language in this month's km is even more insistent than last years.. .

here is the text in full, with the original emphasis.. .

Interesting. The WBTS contends that Jehovah has always had an Organisation. The First Century Governing Body really slipped up on Mary and Joseph's hotel booking - not only did Mary end up giving birth in a stable, but they ended up in Egypt!

my family went to my in-laws today for a pre-christmas do (i had to bow out due to ill-health).

both cats have been in the house sleeping all day.

sugar went out for about half an hour, came back in, ate some dry food and went back to his chair.

Most small animals sleep long hour my mom's dog never moves till she get home usualy tens hours.

Most things are cute when they sleep - kids, dogs, etc. But cats sleeping are in a class of their own - they just look so...smug about it!

maybe i'm part cat. i never laid out in the sun for a tan but i would for a nap LOL

I've never seen the cat that is able to cross a patch of sun without succoming to the strength-sapping hypno-ray effects of the sun. Maybe you've got the same weakness...

This thing is a monster..I can toss ranchers cattle back into thier own field with it!..LOL!!...OUTLAW

Sounds like a winner - not only can you keep yourself free during winter, but you can return stray cattle to their rightful owners! What's the power rating on that thing? How many HP?

BTW, that's good! It means you're able to get around and haven't been snowed in yet - hope this global warmening we keep getting threatened with comes your way! We might even get a white Christmas (well, Central Tasmania and the Snowy Mountains, perhaps), depending on prevailing wind conditions over the next couple of days! (It's Summer, here, remember!)

Henschel with Castro

by Abandoned in

does anyone remember which issue of the watchtower or awake had the pictures with henschel and company posing with fidel castro?

This is not "autographing" in the sense of celebrity.

Of course not!

This reminds me of Erich Frost sharing the podium with Nathan Knorr at German Conventions in the fifties - even though he'd been responsible for many Dubs going to concentration camps. In this case, even though the Cuban Commies had imprisoned and tortured faithful Dubbies, the leadership couldn't wait to have their mugs on film with them.

Guevara was an architect of Cuba's forced labor camps, which by 1965 were transformed into concentration camps for dissidents, homosexuals, people with AIDS, Catholics, Jehovah's Witnesses, and Cubans of other religious sects.
All independent thought that refused to worship the communist state was an affront to Guevara. Christians were an especially difficult lot. From the earliest days after Castro took power, Che sent hundreds of men to face firing squads at the Havana prison known as La Cabana. His victims could be heard at dawn loudly crying "Long live Christ the King, down with communism," just before the rifle shots rang out.

Man, that cat must like you! As posited above, mine only bothered waking up when the rest of the family got back - I was obviously too boring for them!

The medical crisis has subsided! After I met the family at the train station, and we returned home, the cats all started to wake up and behave like they were once again amongst the living. (But they came back in quick-smart - it was raining! )

It's one of their most favorite activities and they are really good at it.

I often say to my wife that cats are falsely maligned as not being a working animal. I figure they see that not enough sleeping's being done, and they set to fixing it!

Sugar went out for about half an hour, came back in, ate some dry food and went back to his chair. But his brother, Timothy, has been in the same box for at least 10 hours! He's changed position, but he hasn't got out once, either for toiletries, or food!
