  Personally I thought that was very sensible advice ...remember that back in the 60's tolerance of inter racial marriages was still a bit of a taboo amongst society. In fact wasn't segreagtion still being practised in some US southern states...didn't Robert Kennedy...get assasinated for something to do with his afro american policies?

  Prisca,

  What do you think about the ACB trying to kick out Steve Waugh?

  Seems to be pretty much par for the course with the ACB...they did it to so many previous capt. towards the end of their career.

  Border comes to mind. hughes is another had the guy in tears when he retired as I recall.

  Good grief! Didn't know that cricket was taken that seriously. And although South Africa is not regarded as an important country, we do have one helluva cricket team!

  I don't really take cricket that seriously...this thread started out as a joke...then a retraction of the joke...SHEESSSH best reply I ever had to a thread..and all I had to say is RETRACTED...lol...go figure.

  Sth Africa has always been very competitive in cricket...and they would have been a lot better too if apartheid hadn't slowed them.down due to outside politcs.

  So, where DID the 1914 timeline go awry?

  by Xander in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  okay, i know that historical evidence is that jerusalem fell in 586/7 instead of 607 - as the wtbts would have.

  however, that is not compelling enough to show a hypothetical jw.

  they (generally) must not only be show that the opposition is correct, but that the wtbts is wrong.

  My Message To You

  by OrbitingTheSun in

  to many people, the new year symbolizes hope--a chance to cast away that which has bothered us, and to cultivate all of the things we have dreamt about throughout the year (but never found the energy to do).

  i both believe in and love the spirit of the new year, but it is vital for us to remember that the hope we feel now is merely the result of a collective belief in ourselves and in each other.

  there is no more opportunity on january 1st than there is on any other day of the year, yet we feel inspired and motivated to change our lives.

  Which Corporation Owns the Buildings?

  by IslandWoman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there has been info on recent threads that the watchtower is liquidating some assets in brooklyn and elsewhere.

  there are a number of corporations used by the watchtower.

  does anyone know which of those corporations own the buildings in question and would therefore be involved with the sale of these buildings?

  I know you were an Elder and I also understand you are a bethelite? Is this correct?

  If so...sorry to be a little stupid on this topic...but...do you personally think any of the money is being used in ways that the R&F would find less than acceptable? Anf if so how?

  hhmmmmm said Alice....This is getting curiouser and curiouser...

  By the way GUYS HAPPY NEW YEAR...it's 12:26 am 1/1/2003 here

  Unfortunately I threw away a lot of publications, especially the older stuff...silly really...cos every time the WTS do a new print run of a publication...they ofte make changes, new light etc.....and if you don't have the old stuff it's hard to find evidence of the changes...Oh well.

  BY THE WAY HAPPY NEW YEAR...to you silly putty and everyone else!
