  i just wat to inform you that i have from absolutely trustworthy sources that rolf furuli (one of the absolutely best known and most recpected elders in norway, and altso a scolar known as a hard core 607-apologist among opposers) did have a local needs speech last week (or maybe the week before) where he went directly against the watchtower anti college education pollicy and warmly recomended all the young ones in the congregation to go on and get them self educated.. i wonder for how long ha can keep his position??

  if he gets the boot wee'll se a theocratic earthquake here in norway..

  When I lived in Central PA, an elder in my cong was removed for letting his son go to college. He was the most prominent elder in the cong, bethel connections, but the country elders determined he was going against the society and remove him. His oldest daughter had given up a full ride to Radcliffe to pioneer; maybe he saw what a waste that was and how different her life could have been.

  So, is Hortensia the mediator now? Or just the missing link to the mediator?

  I still want to know when choir practice is.

  this is interesting.

  a new study has just been completed by the pew forum on religion and public life.

  the study encompassed more than 35,000 people, a very large sample for a survey of this type.

  This was published in our local paper last night; any thoughts on what might go into a letter to the editor to draw attention to it?

  so it hadn't escaped my attention that two weeks ago i was melting faster than a snowman on a lava flow path.. i had to do something.

  i ended up in hospital.

  i hoped this would mean i'd get help, not just medication, which i've tried for 6 months and hasn't really helped.

  i just spent the weekend with my diehard witness parents.

  they try hard not to 'show' interest in information i know before they do.

  mom has wondered how i know before they do.

  being dispersed from bethel to become pioneers in other territorie is because a major announcement is coming up and the gb is worried about how the r&f are going to take it

  I think the elder just made that up. Haven't we heard other, more "plausible" explanations? (Efficiency, cost reduction, etc.)

  Two valuable rings were stolen during a move; one of the "brothers" helping us was an elder, the other ms. I'd just checked to make sure I'd put them back in the jewelry box in another box. Of course, I decided at the time that I must have been the crazy one. I suspect it was the elder that took them.
