Probably caused by a former Enron disgruntled systems programmer who raised the interrupt priority level and put a bad time in the clock register, crashing the initial system, all the while he was listening to Elvis Presley's Blue Hawaii.

Its a Canadian Conspiracy I say ...
by Amazing inyes, the niagra mohawk power and another power plant near ottawa started it all ... yep, canada is trying to break free from its dependancy on the united stated so they can seek admission as a colony of france ... at least quebec ... but, it backfired terribly ... .
seriously, the brain-dead idiots are trying to tell us how computer viruses have been ruled out ... this is a straw-man claim in reverse ... no power plant is run by computers, especially nuclear plants ... computers are only used for information, analysis, and data recording.
the system just has kinks in it ... not reviewed as often as it needs ... and so the northeast grid just had a domino effect much as the outages in 1977 and 1965. it will take a couple of days to know the real cause and have power restored .... the goofy experts are already saying that there is no way this is an act of terrorism ... and they may be right ... but, they are speaking way too soon, as there is no way they can really know until the event has had a root cause analysis, which will take time ... also ... i heard them spewing some information that i know is bs ... so, i also sense something funky here ... having been in the power engineering business for 25 years, i will not be surprised if this turns out to be an attack ... perhaps a test attack to learn how to do this really big across the usa and canada ... i hope i am wrong.

KM article (barf alert)
by Euphemism injust had to share some lovely points from this week's service meeting.
the article "imitate jehovah's goodness" has the following paragraph:toward unbelievers: one way we can imitate jehovah's goodness is by showing sincere concern for those not related to us in the faith.
(gal 6:10) showing goodness in practical ways can have a positive effect on how they view jehovah's witnesses and the message we bear.. .

Next assembly that comes up will find me reserving many rows, then I can hustle them for money, more and more as the time arrives for kickoff - the money would have gone into the contribution boxes anyhow. Might require a few strong-arms, anyone interested in traveling to different assemblies with me. We can party after we've sold the prime seats until the next day or assembly site...

contribution boxes, speakers with x yrs of service and emotional inducement
by truthseeker inat the district convention i attended, i had an excellent view of the stage.
especially those contribution boxes.
every so often, paticularly near the end of the morning and afternoon sessions, those sisters were doing the contribution box walk.

Maybe in our profile we should define name, and how many years we have been "OUT" of the WTS. Here's Brother Budweiser he's been DF'ed for 22 years - welcome Brother Budweiser. Here's Sister BloodGuzzler, she's been Df'ed 18 years - welcome Sister BloodGuzzler. You're absolutuely right - worship of the creation, and not the Creator.

Stan - Many apologies - going back on the medications, as has been recommended. RAZOR, once again the peacemaker, you're right, acronyms can be confusing. First dose has almost kicked in.

Wanted to get rid of a past typo (and didn't want to wait the required day), so the message was not lost... like members of my family who were lost, killed in Russia, then Poland, France, and Hungary for the same spite displayed by this posting. Genocide is NEVER a joke! Anti-Semite idiots! When I worked at Digital Equipment Corp. and designed operating systems (RSTS, RSX, VMS), we defined the term, it was "foobar", the name of a test file, not "FUBAR." At least spell it correctly before you desire to gas more Jews and Christians! I don't agree with the Israeli policies, nor the Arab policies- peace will NEVER be achieved between Esau and Jacob, but don't add fuel to the fires. Please learn about love, peace, and light - obviously the JWs taught you NOTHING! Maybe this posting will... I hope so.

Just had huge arguement outside hall....
by Gadget ina few days ago i sent a message to an elder(one of the ones from my jc) asking him if he could get in contact with my girlfriend because i was very worried about her.
after the meeting tonight he asked if he could have a chat with me outside the hall.
he explained that he could not get in contact with her, as she was out of his jurisdiction.

Hope your friend is feeling and doing better! These controlled automaton elders do have "jurisdictions", as do the demons, who are rulers of specific dominions, and are principalities in different regions. Fitting then that they follow their father, the ruler of darkness. No wonder that the organization is so "well-organized" to the naked eye.

questions about 1975 and other dates
by Leander inmy wife and i were discussing the date of 1975 earlier this week and she basically was of the opinion that the individuals who thought the end was coming in that year came up with the date based on their incorrect assesment of published information.
i replied that would it make sense for thousands of people across the continent to sell their homes and all of their valued possesions if they really had the slightest doubt that armageddon was not coming in 1975. she did'nt have an answer for that retort but still she insisted that somehow these people must have made a mistake in their judgement.
so for those of you who may have lived through the 1975 fiasco and those who have in-depth knowledge about the events that took place in that year maybe you can answer a few questions for me.. how widespread was the belief that 1975 was the year of armageddon?

It was widespread. I remember meeting Max Larson at a shindig showing off Russell's slideshow in circa 1974 at a high school auditorium in Connecticut, and then after the hoopla we were invited to the POs house for coffee afterwards, and a few brothers were discussing "The Holy Chronologies" and Max never said anything against the 1975 claims being discussed.

Why Aren't 2 and a Half Million JW's Not Sleeping Well at Night???
by minimus inthis is an interesting advertisment that is in a regional state newpaper.
"why are an estimated 2 1/2 million jehovah's witnesses not sleeping well at night?".
come for enlightening information friday august 15th, 2oo3 at 7:oo p.m .

The reason why they aren't sleeping at night is that they are praying fervently for the health of the Pope and the Catholic Church. Then again, some may be burning the candle at both ends studying for their MBAs.

Apologize to a cow
by Elsewhere inwe believe that every red-blooded american can feel a lot less guilty about eating those bovine friends of ours if they just apologize to a cow.. we understand that not everyone has a farm nearby, so we are here to help!.
if you would just read the below apology then sign your name and give a short personal message to the cow, we will print out the list of all the people on the apology and read it to a real live cow!.
it's just that simple!.
