Annual indexes, bound volumes and the CD are available, so there is no reason for worrying too much, is it? This new tool was advertised at last year's DC as a simplified research tool dealing with specific topics, that would not be a substitute for the CD, but be helpful for those not having a CD in their language, those in field service thru new devices connecting to the WOL etc.

Departmental Ditties and other Verses (1886)
- I have eaten your bread and salt.
I have drunk your water and wine.
The deaths ye died I have watched beside
And the lives ye led were mine.- Prelude, Stanza 1.
- I have written the tale of our life
For a sheltered people's mirth,
In jesting guise—but ye are wise,
And ye know what the jest is worth.- Prelude Stanza 3.
- A fool there was and he made his prayer
(Even as you and I!)
To a rag and a bone and a hank of hair
We called her the woman who did not care),
But the fool he called her his lady fair
(Even as you and I!)- The Vampire, Stanza 1.
- Call a truce, then, to our labours let us feast with friends and neighbours,
And be merry as the custom of our caste;
For if “faint and forced the laughter,” and if sadness follow after,
We are richer by one mocking Christmas past.- Christmas in India, Stanza 5.
- The toad beneath the harrow knows
Exactly where each tooth point goes;
The butterfly upon the road
Preaches contentment to that toad.- Pagett M.P, prelude
- And a woman is only a woman, but a good cigar is a smoke.
- The Betrothed, Stanza 25.
- A scrimmage in a Border Station—
A canter down some dark defile—
Two thousand pounds of education
Drops to a ten-rupee jezail—
The Crammer's boast, the Squadron's pride,
Shot like a rabbit in a ride!- Arithmetic on the Frontier, Stanza 3.
- I have eaten your bread and salt.

THE TWO BABYLONS as a template for Watch Tower dishonesty in history
by Terry inproof isn't proof at the watchtower.
"proof" is a reconstruction like frankenstein's monster kept alive by flashes of "new light" made up as needed to revitalize a quivering monstrosity.. at first glimpse it looks like science.
when the smoke clears it is madness and obsession riven with fierce contrarian nincompoopery.. ****.

It was sold by WTB&TS, could be obtained in like manners as Byington's "The Bible in Living English", but they did not buy the printing plates or printing rights or anything, it said on the title page it was issued by some prinitng agency whose name slipped my mind just now - Loisseaux Brothers or something like that. So nice comment, EdenOne - it is rather difficult to promote your works after your own death. Much anger here.

Israel National News reports a most amazing story about JWs
by AndersonsInfo inhttp://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/flash.aspx/288677#.ux9165ao7l9.
court rejects missionary lawsuit against netanya schools for voiding leasethe tel aviv magistrates court has rejected a claim by a missionary group, saying that the school they had been renting space in unlawfully voided their contract , and asking the court to instruct the school to pay nis 108,000 in compensation and mental anguish, as well as legal expenses.. it began when a missionary group, via a non-profit organization called "mitzpe l'yisrael", rented space at the raziel school in netanya to conduct daily afternoon activities.
shortly after signing the rental agreement , the school authorities discovered that the group was, in reality, the notorious missionary sect of "jehovah's witnesses".

When writing to the Israel branch, the name of the organization is not for example "JW in Israel" etc, but "Watchtower Association of Israel, RA" - so is WT is the name they use (in order to get any letters thru at all ) then why could they not use that name, their official, when trying to rent a location?

Making this a problem or something to be shocked about - I just don't get it. Maybe you still use cash to a great extent in the US? I don't know. But I do know that here in Europe cash is used to only a very very small extent. If a child comes around to my house selling cookies, or selling the Sunday newspaper, there is a wild chase around the house to try to find some cash, and ususlly we don't succeed. At the assemblies, only very few carry cash. So why not use machines? I seriously don't get the exitement.

North Korean officials have repeatedly stated in North Korea there are no homosexuals. Following their line of thought, one might wonder why, and also make a rather qualified guess at what the punishment for paedoes would be ..................
Up against the wall.

Will the jw's get all excited about Russia in the Ukraine?
by hoser inusually when world events like this take place the dubs start into how the end must be so close they can almost taste it.
maybe there will be some speculation about the king of the north and south again.

JWs will not get exited. But the evangelicals at my work ARE exited and preparing for a great war, and one of them is constantly checking if there are any troop movements towards Israel.

conversation between Knorr and Fredrick the Great: " well, the Great Crowd is not so great after all".
Actually it was The Judge who said that.

Every abuser should get his/her judgment, no doubt - but where does it say he was a JW? It isn't mentioned in the newspaper cuttings?

"Things have never been better."
That is perhaps to move slightly too much in the opposite direction. At least, one should be careful not to shout it out loud in the gates of Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, North Korea, Central America, Colombia, Zimbabwe, Egypt, Palestine, Ukraine etc. etc.
Lest it be too much of "us and here" versus "them and there".
