  Photos of the event are found here: http://fotoservice.bundeskanzleramt.at/imagecatalogue/image/list/19347

  The JW delegate Walter Schneeweiß is the third head from the left on the group photo. It seems that he was avoiding to be clearly seen.

  The picture reminds me of the picture that WT used in 1986 about the meeting in Assisi:

  Baby name suggestions?

  by JimmyPage in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  boy or girl names, don't know for sure which as of yet.

  preferably something with apostate or rock musician connotations.

  i thought of "stevie ray" as in stevie ray vaughan and as a tribute to both steven hassan and ray franz but it sounds a bit too redneck for my taste.

  What about "Taze" for a boy. I know only of one person in the last 200 years who had that name and he had some impact.

  Another Newbie...

  i have been lurking for a while, just joined.

  nice to see there are so many others out there who feel/felt how i feel.... long story short - i was born into it, started having doubts about age 6, but what can you do when you have over controlling parents whose only goal is to make you a pioneer and ship you off to bethel so you can be like your goody-two-shoe brothers.

  suffered through my school years being bullied with no friends - parents made sure that i was very different from other kids inc how i dressed and even what i ate to the point where i was apparently known as the ugly hippie.

  Please accept also my condolence. The death of a father or a mother must be one of the most difficult things in life.
