Update on my parents
by Mulan inprincess and i have been posting (a couple weeks ago) about the ongoing 'soap opera' involving my mother, her fall, and where she will live.
three weeks ago, we put her in a group home.
she is nearly 90, and falls a lot, but has an extremely sharp mind, and is a real "going concern".

Overeating
by radar init is intersting that the bible does not speak specificly about things like smoking, blood tranfusions, etc, which the watchtower will expell its own members over.. yet the bible does speak specificly about over eatingit even goes on to say that such people will not inherit the kingdom.
yet from my experience in the organisation many witnesses would over-eat(few pleasures left when you got your head in a book all the time) and many were clearly overweight and suffering for it!.
this led to all sorts of health problems for them from back trouble to heart disease, yet i never heard of any being dissfellowshiped on the grounds of gluttony/overeating!!.

Most unintentionally funny scene in a movie
by Abaddon inin the original superman, where superman sticks the flag back on top the white house, and says "i stand for truth, justice, and the american way"; this never failed (the couple of times i saw it in the cinema as a kid) to reduce the audiences to tears of laughter (in enlgand).. in the blair witch project, where she's doing the "i'm sorry" bit in the super-big-close-up nostril shot; hilarious.. the bit in jurassic park where the lawyer gets eaten; the audience i was with cheered.... .

When to expect CO visit?
by ChakkaConned inmy understanding is that when a co comes for a visit to a cong., the first day he reviews the pub records, etc.
is there a certain day or day's during that week that he accompanies the elder's to specifically call on inactive ones?
is there a set schedule or time that the co follows during his visits for this?
