  Thirty-Five Years Later

  by compound complex in

  in the market today, i walked down an aisle and glanced over at a middle-aged man and the woman beside him pushing a shopping cart.

  i couldn't place the man but recognized the somewhat younger woman, a former student.

  when the fellow started talking, i realized it was her brother, also a one-time student.

  I believe Jay Ungar wrote this in 1982.

  Makes me cry every time.

  Apostrophe

  by compound complex in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  the lyrics to the song, "twinkle, twinkle, little star," are an example of apostrophe (not an apostrophe).

  learn something new every day!.

  twinkle, twinkle, little star, how i wonder what you are.

  roll call for the benefit of newbies and lurkers.

  in one sentence tell why you left the org.

  not 2 sentences.

  I left WT because they took away our Lord and wouldn't say where they placed Him.

  Languages, Dialects, Accents

  just though i'd start a thread devoted to languages, dialects/sociolects and accents, with the idea being that posters can comment on any language, or dialect or accent of any language, on this thread.. any phrases, expressions or idioms that you find interesting are also welcome.

  first, the subject of english accents came up on another thread.. the british isles have many different types of accent (although many of the dialects may be dying out), and if i start to take a closer look, i can't help but see 'patterns' .... in received pronunciation of standard english, the letter r is pronounced initially, between vowels, and after consonants, e.g.

  red, arrow, break.

  Thank you.

  I recognized some of the Arabic words because, years ago, I spent a little time with the Nation of Islam.

  Interesting, too, is that different suffixes are used for male and female.

  The Society never said that outright, they merely hinted at it.

  Semantics.

  90 months is 7 and 1\2 years.

  March 1968 to September 1975 is 7 and 1\2 years.

  Out of their own mouths they are convicted.

  Change of the 2 Baptismal Questions Soon?

  by The Fall Guy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  q1 - on the basis of the sacrifice of jesus christ, have you dedicated yourself to god & the governing body?.

  q2 - do you understand that your dedication and baptism as one of jehovah's witnesses identifies your belief the wtbts's literature is equal in authority with the bible?

  having answered yes to these questions, candidates are in a right heart condition sufficiently brain-dead to undergo christian jw.borg baptism..

  I was invited to address The Presbyterians at their church

  by Giordano in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so i was asked to give a presentation at the oxford forum which is sponsored by a local presbyterian church.

  it's a very old church founded in 1758. it's way out in a rural area and if your interested here is their web site.. for a quick look at a beautiful setting: http://www.oxfordchurchlex.org/ yes this image is eye candy but up close the architectural detailing is pretty impressive............ there is no way you are going to confuse this church with a jehovah's witness soon to be closed kingdom hall.. the pastor told me that they would have 15 to 20 people attending my presentation about the jw life and beliefs.

  it would start at 10am and end at 10:50. he would open the meeting with a brief prayer and welcome.
