The big 3 from the late 1800's
by Gregor inthe latter day saints have their own state for crying out loud.
they also established one of the most prestigous universities in the country, byu.. the seventh day adventists operate the best teaching hospitals in the world and crank out world class doctors.. the jehovah's witnesses are best known through being the butt of jokes in comedy skits.
they are at present scrambling to get their financial act together..

dark
by John Doe inlonesome winds whisper through the dark valley surrounding the highway that is my soul.
i carry a lantern burning from the precarious end of a wick that is shortened with every breath i steal from the hollow vast dampness that wafts through my memories like so many lost thoughts.
somehow i find the courage to continue, for continuing is the only way through the darkness.

Assembly Hall shakedown - Columbia SC
by sir82 infrom someone who attended:.
there was a big elders meeting in columbia sc on saturday june 9.. around 240 congregations, 2000+ elders.. the society wants to build a brand new assembly hall in columbia, sc, to handle the huge influx of jws moving to the us southeast from up north.. they expect to have it done in 34 months (finished by april 2010).
total cost estimated to be approximately $8 - 9 million.. they want to have the whole thing paid for by the time the building is done - no long term loans.. they "strongly suggested" that each of the 240 congregations commit to supporting "their share" of the expense.

Does eating a rare steak = eating blood?
by neverendingjourney ini always wondered about this when i was still a jw.
i just assumed that it was improper for a jw to eat any meat that wasn't thoroughly cooked, especially steak.
i though everyone could see that the red juice contained blood, which, if eaten, amounted to a violation of the prohibition against eating blood.

Circuit & District Overseers are lazy, busybodies, and shouldn't eat!
by lawrence inpaul wrote to the thessalonians about people who congregations shouldn't feed (not even leftovers) - let the nasty bums, and their uppity nasty wives starve..... for even when we were with you, we commanded you this: "if anyone will not work, neither let him eat.
" 3:11for we hear of some who walk among you in rebellion, who don't work at all, but are busybodies.
3:12now those who are that way, we command and exhort in the lord jesus christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread..

YOUR DAILY JOURNAL
by compound complex indear friends,.
much of what we do on a daily basis is routine and of no particular, earth-shaking importance.
however, after reviewing letters of family going back to wwii, it is fascinating to read what dad was doing on board the aircraft carrier in the pacific on any old day, what mom was cooking on her ever-steaming range, how i was dealing with the roller coaster of emotion at bethel [mom saved all my letters], how nana wrote that she would not study with the witnesses [per my request] but 'here are some mittens i knitted for you when you canvass new york with your magazines.

the Daily-Dedicate-a-Song-to-a-Special-Someone Thread
by Crumpet inrather than hijack another thread and inspired by fullofdoubtnow and dedpoets music for the wedding thread i thought i would start a little "dedications" thread - this isn't the sort of dedication symbolised by dunking though!.
(i expect to see ggbg and ofg here forthwith for some romantic dedications).. i'd like to dedicate the following to someone special - "bodies - by drowning pool" .
they probably wont see this, but the thought that counts!.
