Hey, I just realized something!
by pseattle2 inthe price of a gallon of gas is back down to around 2 bucks -- less than that, even, if you don't get premium.. so, with that "hardship to brothers" at least temporarily lessened, does that mean the weekly one-hour book study in private homes is back on again?.
c'mon, wt!
bring it back!

Catholic Church has paid out over 2 BILLION.......
by nomoreguilt inon the abc evening news tonight, it was said that the catholic church has paid out over $ 2 billion in settlements to over 5,000 victims of sexual abuse by priests.
do you suppose that perhaps the wtbts will approach that figure?
either in payouts or in the number of cases that are reported??.

by pseattle2 inhttp://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1716987,00.html.
last week we learned that jw's are the fastest-growing religion in america, with between 2-3% growth nationwide.

Anybody watch the premiere of "Lie To Me" on FOX tonight?
by pseattle2 inone of the stories revolved around a witness-raised teenager accused of killing a high school teacher.
interesting, pretty accurate portrayal of jehovah's witness parents, with a couple of flubs (they said "the lord" instead of what they'd really say, "jehovah god").. the parents were, however, described as being outcast or criticized by their own congregation for being somewhat extremist and isolationist in their views.
i couldn't buy that the congregation would criticize any such parents for being so devout about their views; i'd think they'd be pillars in the org.. the kid also said "i swear to god" which i was explicitly told i should never utter when i was a dub.. very good show, otherwise.
