Blondie - There was an assassination attempt on Pope John Paul II. On 13 May 1981 John Paul II was shot and critically wounded by Mehmet Ali Agca, a Turkish gunman, as he entered St. Peter's Square to address an audience. However, a few points to note: - the motive appears to have been nationalistic not muslim v christian - it didn't succeed - it was nearly 25 years ago Things have moved on a lot since 1981. My view is that if the Pope were assassimated by Muslim extremists there would be a blood bath in so many countries through out the world.

What if .. Pope was Assassinated by Islamic Extremists .... WW3?
by eyeslice injust a thought.
but just listened to the news and apparently security for the pope has been stepped up.
if anything were to happen to the pope, things could get very messy.

My wife runs a couple of hairdressing salons. The beauty of retail is that it is cash in hand most of the time - much better than businesses where you are always pushing customers for payment of invoices.

What Message is the GB Giving Mature Ones at Bethel With a Massive Lay Off?
by frankiespeakin ini wonder how this is effecting the morale of those mature ones still at bethel?
the governing body is in effect telling every one there you are all just pieces of shit to us(gb) and we can get rid of you any time we want because you are all just pieces of shit to us.

What a farce all of this is! Yet, go to any district or circuit assembly and Bethel Service is still held out as being a worth while career for young ones.

THE BIG A: RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER.
by Mary inwhere did all the witnesses over the decades get the idea that armageddon was right around the corner?
the society certainly never put anything like that down in print:
*** w56 10/15 p. 614 when will gods kingdom come?

I remember an illustration given by DO. He said if you went for a bus it was better to be at the bus stop early rather than miss the bus. His point was that we might be slightly early and like waiting for a bus, time may seem to drag. But, better early than late.
That was about 40 years ago and that DO is now dead.

Did your Kingdom hall ever cancel meetings?
by moshe inwe were building a new kh- not quick build- and we had to vacate the old building and the new kh was not finished.
the elders decided to cancel all the meeting with the exception of the tuesday night bookstudy in homes.
we had no other meetings for about 4-5 weeks.

The general policy is never to cancel a meeting - they are far too important.
As far as quick builds are concerned, we used to do the 2/3 day builds and have the first meeting on the Sunday night. Then they found that more speed did mean good quality so things were slowed down. Even so, we always had to endure a Watchtower 'summary', often sat on the roof bored stiff.

Jezebel Idea in Motion (photos)
by Sparkplug inok, it started as an idea to make a jezebel such as was in the book of bible stories.
but then i did not have all the parts and my hair was tied down.
i threw in jack the ripper shoes and stockings, and a gypsy skirt.

My wife and I went to a non-witness wedding a couple of weeks ago with my witness and elder brother-in-law and his family. Lots of booze and dancing till late at night.
Have another wedding at the end the month, this time a witness wedding - and I am still invited (despite being a congragtional outcast, though not df'ed od da'ed). Interestlingly, my brother-in-law is not invited even though he was a former friend of the family as he was on a fiasco of a judicial committee involving the bride's mother, which ended up with the disfellowshipping decision being thrown out on appeal.
There will be elders there, I am sure. But whilst my brother-in-law let his hair down at the non-JW wedding I am sure that this will be a very sober affair.

What funeral will you have?
by Gilberto inthere has been a couple of threads about death just lately and it got me thinking about what funeral i would have.
i hope it won't be for many years yet though.. when you are a dub it would have just happened.. when i was fading i would have just accepted that it would have been what my wife wanted.
i would have also had to have a dub funeral for her.

I spoke to my JW wife a few months ago about this subject, and guess what?
She told me that she wants to be cremated and her ashes scattered on the Yammuna or Ganges in India. I think I will go for the same myself.

You Are 4% Evil You are good. So good, that you make evil people squirm.
Just remember, you may need to turn to the dark side to get what you want!
