  i have a question.. the wts likes to boast about the "photo drama" produced from 1912 and shown in 1914 onwards.

  there is an article again on this subject in the jan 15, 2001 watchtower (yes, i know i am milking that one watchtower i have for all it's worth!)..

  a couple of comments and then my question.

  st. paul, friday march 9, 2001. harold stassen lay in state in the capitol rotunda friday -- an honor believed to have been extended to only eight minnesotans previously.

  stassen, who died last sunday at age 93, lay in a simple black casket draped with an american flag.

  behind him stood flags of minnesota, the united states and the united nations.

  my brother is a serving elder in a uk congregation.

  i asked him for his comments and the following is his reply.

  those of us who spent a good portion of our lives as slaves to the printing corporation in brooklyn do well to reflect on our achievements.

  we have managed to break the cult shackles and get past the guilt barrier.

  we are building happy, successful lives.

  despite the ranting in some of the posts on this board i thought today was a good day.

  today, march 1 (for me still right now) can be regarded as the first day of spring unless youre a stickler for changing the season on the equinox.

  today was the first morning in umpteen days that i woke to outside temperatures above 0 degrees.

  i managed to find a piece i wrote last year and subsequently lost.

  thanks to the archiving efforts of a very good person i have managed to get it back.

  thinking about some posts here recently regarding the genesis account of the fall of man, i recalled a conversation with a friend a few years back.

  "Creator" Book. Is there a reader wh...

  2. friends

  some of you by choice or by compelling reason will attend the book study to consider the creator book.

  during the study you might want to ask a few questions.

  here are some things to ponder and maybe you can formulate some questions to ask your conductor.. this book is dreadful in its use of quotations.

  i have swapped to my normal profile.

  eyesonthepies was a play on the name chosen by some young kid, wannabe elder, on witnet and who now moderates on wol.

  eotprize or sonic is probably a lot like me when i was his age...except i never thought that disney cartoon films were absolutely wonderful after i was 12.. i met simon, the board ownwer, on randy watter's board last year.
