Summer Reading: "The Reformatin - A History", If you're busy, I can let you know how it ends.
by kepler inthere's something of a random walk in jumping from one used book to another.

Drama at the RC
by leaving_quietly ini sat through part 1 of the drama yesterday.

Well isn't this a bunch of BS
by Doctor Who inwell, our sister congregation just had their co visit this past week.
on saturday afternoon, i was talking to a couple of ministerial servants in that congregation and they stated that an unmarried brother is not fulfilling to the max what jehovah wants of us.
