July 14, 1789 - Start of the French Revolution and the end of the monarchy. The Bastille was a prison where all of the opposers of the monarchy were held, so on July 14, 1789, French citizens stormed the prison. Huge parade held every year in Paris. I was there in the early 1980's. Lots of pageantry!

Perhaps the WT (or maybe it was an Awake) about the person who worked at a hospital and came across medical records about a young woman that she knew that had an abortion. Then they said we were obligated to go to the elders with such knowledge if the person didn't. I was floored...and couldn't believe that even medical records weren't private from the glaring eyes of the elders!

Did you wear your badge outside the convention, so as to "give a witness?"
by truthseeker inthis year at the dc, we were expressly told to wear our badges at all times, even when going to a restaurant or some place else, so we could "give a witness.".
did any of you hear follow through with this arrangement?
did you have one of those "fantastic" experiences, when someone commented on your badge?.

I think I wore mine most of the time. They gave us such a hard time if you didn't wear it.
Badgefree since 1991!
