with the ramped up rhetoric the last few years many were totally convinced the end would be here by 2019-20 .

and instead of making due, the org.

has burdened the brothers once again to donate and volunteer for the new and improved patterson and video production center to be completed by 2026!

I really do feel better about the Joel chapter 2 news.
I can now sleep better at night.
I just hope before I die someday, that the King of North/South gets straightened out, the resurrection of people in Sodom and Gomorrah gets resolved and whether CT Russell was part of the governing body.

Do JWs eat shrimp, crab, lobster, clams, and mussels?

i'll play devil's advocate.... true, the mosaic law code prohibited the eating of blood.

but jesus fulfilled the law covenant thus wiping out all the laws previously set.

but then later, (through god's spirit, of course wink wink) the abstaining of blood was again brought to followers of christ.

Planning on a nice dinner tonight of ceviche (fresh fish, preferably corvina, "cooked" in lime juice for 10 minutes or so) this evening. The Ecuadorian type adds some ketchup which to me spoils some of the flavor. I prefer the Peruvian style, just the fish, lime juice, rocoto pepper sauce and some cilantro.

looks like the update i pushed yesterday broke the "new topic" link.

if this shows up, then it's fixed :).

there are quite a few other updates, nothing should be visually different but the backend is changing in preparation for more noticeable changes and just to improve performance..

I have been to a couple of the Annual Meetings at the Stanley in Jersey City NJ in the past. It was typically announced that the "business" meeting was held just before the actual meeting. They would say that so-and-so was voted for another term as president, somebody else vice-president, treasurer, etc. At one of the times I was there, I recall Don Adams was the president of the corporation.
Whoever was reading the announcement would try to make it a bit humorous by asking the audience what they thought the numbers were as far as how many voted for each. He (a GB member) would then say, "Believe it or not brothers, there was a unanimous vote of 175-0" (or something like that).Then the people would laugh since everyone knew that the vote would be unanimous.
I'm sure the actual business part of the meeting was very short since who would object to anything presented. It's not like there would be a real discussion as would be typical in many organizations. I just remember that the voting members had to be there earlier (around 8AM) before the rest were allowed in around 9AM. It always started at 10AM.
To be a voting member is just like anything else in the Borg or for that matter, many other corporations. Probably similar to becoming a CO or any other position of power. I just recall hearing that this one or that one was asked by the Society to become a voting member. I do know that a lot of them are older and some need to vote by proxy since that cannot travel to the location.
