  when i was a kid....i used to look at the wt illustrations of paradise conditions and would day dream about life in the new system....i later used this same technique (shame on me) to brain wash bible students.

  however...as i grew up lol (apparently!

  ) the illustrations changed....and became more modern.

  When it comes to being a house of worship, the Pontiac Silverdome has a long history.
  It has served as a site of a papal Mass by Pope John Paul II, a crusade by evangelist Billy
  Graham and meetings attracting thousands of men belonging to the Promise Keepers
  organization.
  But no faith or religious group has had more gatherings under the Teflon-coated fiberglass
  roof of the Silverdome than the Jehovah's Witnesses, who have been transforming the stadium
  into one of the world's largest Kingdom Halls every year since 1978.
  More than 100,000 Bible-carrying Jehovah's Witnesses from 233 congregations scattered
  throughout the Lower Peninsula of Michigan and northern Ohio are expected to attend the
  2002 Zealous Kingdom Proclaimers District Convention, which began Friday and continues
  through today.
  It's a religious pilgrimage that meant a lot for 75-year-old Howard Anderson of Detroit. He was
  the oldest of the 169 convention delegates who was baptized into the faith Saturday, a total
  that included 73 men and 96 women ranging in age from 10 to 75 years old.
  "This is what I want," Anderson said. "I want to show God how much I love him. After many
  years of opposing my wife, who has been one of Jehovah's Witnesses for 33 years, I'm ready to
  do God's will."
  Al McCarty of Waterford Township has been at every Silverdome convention since 1978. He
  told of the effort made by 3,000 volunteers to prepare the Silverdome for the faithful.
  "In the Jehovah's Witnesses, there is no paid clergy and no paid staff," said McCarty, who works
  as an engineer at the Chrysler Group headquarters of the DaimlerChrysler AG in Auburn Hills.
  "This type of convention is important because it allows people to worship with people who are
  like us with the same problems and same successes. Worshiping with a large group raises the
  consciousness of your own faith."
  On the day before the convention, the Silverdome was a beehive of activity. "We're probably
  one of the only groups who come into the Silverdome and vacuum every inch of the stadium's
  artificial turf," McCarty said. "We also wash every seat with soap and water and personally clean
  each restroom and suite that we use." One hundred volunteers even spent much of Thursday setting up an elaborate sound system
  to conquer the Silverdome's notoriously bad acoustics that on occasion have frustrated some
  of the biggest musical acts in the world.
  The fact that every Jehovah's Witness was carrying a Bible is integral to the faith. "In my
  library at home, I have 16 translations of the Bible," McCarty said. "Each of those translations
  can help you understand because Jehovah's Witnesses believe precisely what the Bible says and
  try to mold our lives around it."
  While the Detroit Lions may have left the Silverdome for Ford Field, now under construction in
  downtown Detroit, the Jehovah's Witnesses plan to be back again in 2003. "Pontiac and the
  Silverdome have been very good to us over the years," McCarty said. "The Silverdome is a
  wonderful place to worship."

  This got me to thinking...how many times have you heard, at the meetings and assemblies, that jw's are the cleanest people to use assembly halls. But I've been to many other functions in the same buildings that seemed to be very clean too. Isnt it a little presumptuous to imply they're the only group that cleans up before and after their events?

  joeshmoe, I used to asked my mother how Rutherford could say 'millions now living will never die'... she said it was a metaphoric... as in they are spiritually strong so in a spiritual sense they will never die, they are always in Jehovah's memory.

  been reading some of john boswell's - "the kindness of strangers" , in which he re-constructs the laws and social attitudes, to "getting rid" of unwanted (live) children from roman times to medieval times... .

  just wanted to share this story... "the story of the nun of watton".

  maybe some of us will relate to the girl in the story..... a 4 y.o.
