Ok, as a young sister, I was curious about the library. For years I went in and looked through the books. Towards the end of my attending however they did become excessively protective. I would go in there and an elder would ask what I was doing. I state, just looking around, checking out the old books we don't have. Their reply would be something like, "this library is for study only, you need to leave" or "you know those belong to the congregation so you can't take any home." Perhaps something similar led to his statement regarding the elders though overblown. I was never allowed to really read anything in there. Then again, I was a sister so I'm sure it was different for brothers.

DC 2010 Release - The Origin of Life and its many misquotes
by Designer Stubble inlooking up all the references is a lot of work - one of the reasons nobody normally verifies these, but trust the writers.
as you will see, the writers are banking on this, but it is not a good thing to trust the wtbts writers.
please find the bibliography worked out for quotes 38-51, covering the heading "what about human evolution".. interesting is that many quotes are from the [u]preface[/u] of books, where the authors honestly explain the difficulties and assumptions related to evolutionary science.. [b]what about human evolution?[/b].

I Had Lunch With Michelle Obama Today
by Justitia Themis inshe is an amazon...i'm guessing 5' 11" with big hips.
her speech was ok, but she says "um" a lot.
our table was very close, which translates into we paid $500.00, instead of $200.00, per plate for our cold chicken salad.

I am curious, was it at least Gourmet chicken salad? You know with fruit and nuts and all white meat? Did it atleast have some fruit garnish or something else to fancy it up? If it was a canned scoop, then me and Mrs. Obama need to have a talk.
Amazon is a compliment. Wonderwoman and Wondergirl were amazonians and they were both beautiful!

Have they changed the Everlasting Life theory?
by unique1 inmy friend (disfellowshipped) was talking to her brother-in-law who is still very much in the truth.
i will preface this with the fact that i have known him my whole life and he has never been the brightest light bulb so maybe he is wrong on this count.
he told her she needed to start coming back to meetings.

I will preface this with the fact that I have known him my whole life and he has never been the brightest light bulb so maybe he is wrong on this count. He told her she needed to start coming back to meetings. She replied "Why? I have no desire to live in a paradise forever and that is the only reason that you can give me for going." To which he replied "Oh, we don't believe life in the paradise will be forever anymore, it will just be a longer time than we are used to so it will seem everlasting but we will still die again." She asked me about it and I haven't been super regular to the board but I hadn't heard that. Anyone else hear anything like that?

Maybe I should have gone to Memorial....possible regrets.
by oompa ini have a handful of friends that are still dubs.
we have very little social contact, but i do get the occasional invite over or for golf, and they will still come over.
i may have mussed that up by not going.
