  Television should be turned off three nights a week.

  Kids could attend their home work.

  people could ...read.

  and all could go to bed without their minds stuffed with inane dramas.

  With the jw penchant to ban/deny/warn off everything not approved i was amazed at thenumber of jw who went to see that show. Its about fornication, prostitution, crazy religion (!) the devil gets a mention and disrespect for the dead. all abit like life in general.

  Actually i remember enjoying the show.

  i know isaac asimov's answer, which makes sense to me.

  anyone else have any answer to the question about what happens when an irresistible force meets an immovable object?.

  ABS. re time records.

  The wt in South Africa would readily hand to the then govt such records as a goad to move/force/prod brothers to more field service.

  If they showed low hours (commitment) they were destined for induction into the army.

  I wonder if the wts would be so keen in these other countries to hand over jw's records if asked so the govts could re-determine whether the individuals were entitled to social welfare for being unemployed.

  Imagine the headlines.!

  a few official instructions jw delegates are being told leading up to the international conventions.

  congregation secretaries are holding conference calls and then relating the instructions to the congregation.. atlanta - do not drive to convention, parking will not be available.

  take public transportation; attendants will be on all public transit and able to assist.. dallas - attendants will be on site at all hotels to make sure delegates leave the hotel at their assigned times and take their assigned route.

  I have seen families eating fast food and lettuce for meals but their mum had $$ for pioneering.

  A couple with one little one didnt get back to their chosen accomodation until 8-30pm while attending tha last big Sydney convention. This was caused by crowds that couldnt /wouldnt move overloaded transport.

  I can only wonder where the 'elite 'were at that time.

  shocking.. he was a prolific child abuser in the 60's and 70's.

  also good friends with jimmy saville.. how awful for the boys he violated.

  just wonder with all the jw.org hype.

  what sort of real aid and help was given to the witnesses that were effected by that hurricane in the philippines?was it a case of if you had the insurance check we will help you.

  or was it a case of keep warm and well feed, and here is a magazine for you to read.
