this week service meetings are recycling old kingdom ministry articles regarding the danger of electronic communication such as the internet and email.. .

like i heard at a recent circuit assembly, "don't let your mouse turn you into a rat!".

Charles Taze Russell and his Roman toga
by Kenneson in
1. jw
2. friends
i remember reading one time in a religious periodical discussing the watchtower society and its founder, charles taze russell, that as he approached his end he requested that his body be placed in a roman toga.

i found that odd and wondered where they had gotten that tidbit.

this weekend i found the answer in the memorial issue dedicated to charles taze russell in the dec. 1, 1916 watch tower.

Why Sex??
by PopeOfEruke in
1. social
2. relationships
since being de-borged, i have come to appreciate that the answer to the old blue book "did man get here by evolution or by creation" is probably "evolution".. one thing about evolution which is still hard to explain is why or how did sexual reproduction evolve?

of course now that we have it, i guess most of us would not like to go back to the "old" way, of either dividing ourselves into 2, or else self-fertilizing ourselves from our own 2 sets of sex-organs (ewwww!!!).

i know a lot of men try this anyway but to no avail.......... but what motive force could have existed to actually evolve sexual reproduction in the first place?

Kingdom Hall Spankings
by JH in
1. jw
2. friends
most meetings i went to, children were brought to the washrooms in the back to be disciplined.

often i could hear a child yell or cry due to the spanking given by the parent.

people in the hall would have that look on their face meaning that it was alright to discipline a child by spanking him.
