I was working in the 13th floor of a building myself. A JW-"friend" called me and said that a plane crashed into the world trade center. I was thinking about a small sport plane. Some time later I could see the whole things on screen at the office. That evening a company event at a local theater was scheduled. Some went there and also the theater people decided not to let terrorists determine their schedule. I decided to go home to my familiy and watch what was happening.

I also had our Secretary and people from the Public Affairs Desk at Bethel telling me that they have doubts. But it is strange if this was the first approach of this PO and you do not have a special relationship with him.

Blondie, this is terrible to read! I do not post that much but for some time and you are one of my favorite posters (as for many). I feel connected to you but when you write you are going to post less and less this really frightens me because JWD is the only way we are connected (more for me as a reader). I wish you all the power you need. This really disturbs me. I gonna send you a longer email tomorrow, it is 1 a.m. in Germany. Keep up.

Inconsistency in Placing Blame?
by Mum ini was just reading something about the story in genesis about the angels leaving heaven to mate with earthly women.
does anyone else find it peculiar that the watchtower places no blame on the women?
in the wt world, it is always the less powerful who bears the primary burden of guilt except in this one case.. for example, didn't someone post a wt form which asks an applicant about pedophile practices and then asks if the child did anything to provoke the assault?

There is one reference to "Book of Jasher" on the WT-Lib:
*** w63 6/15 p. 379 Rosicrucianism—Compatible with Christianity? ***
Rosicrucianism further claims that Moses received his wisdom from Egypt and that Jesus in his infancy went to Egypt not only for protection but also to receive education and training. 17 But if this is so, why do neither the writings of Moses nor the Gospels contain anything about the mysteries of the Egyptian White Brotherhood? Much store is also put in the Book of Jasher 18 and the Great Pyramid of Egypt, 19 but neither Jesus nor his apostles made any reference to either. They stressed the need of going to God’s Word and showed that it was all we need to guide us on life’s pathway.
The Watchtower used the Great Pyramid in the past, maybe they got some insights from the Book of Jasher, too.

Swiffers Do you use one?
by Lady Lee ini have one and use it for both wet and dry.
it gets pricey since you have to keep buying the cloths.. a couple of weeks ago i was in sears and they were having a demonstration of a swiffer type mop but you didn't have to throw awy the cloths.
simply remove from the cloth and throw it in the washer.

“Little boxes on the hillside, Little boxes made of ticky tacky
/ Little boxes on the hillside, little boxes all the same
/ There’s a green one and a pink one and a blue one and a yellow one
/ And they’re all made out of ticky tacky and they all look just the same.
/ And the people in the houses all went to the university
/ Where they were put in boxes and they came out all the same,
/ And there’s doctors and there’s lawyers, and business executives
/ And they’re all made out of ticky tacky and they all look just the same.”
