  well, its been about 2 1/2 years and have slowly done less and less.

  i've been to about 30 minutes of a meeting in the last month and a half where i stayed out back and with my daughter.. i've been looking for the right timing to leave but had decided i will go anyways by the time my daughter is about 1 years old.

  but, it just so happens that my some members of my family including and mostly my parents have actually given me a good enough of an excuse to get out.. they have broken to many rules.

  How long did the Watchtower Society's campaign against aluminium last?

  by slimboyfat in

  i came across a discussion of the golden age magazine's anti-aluminum stance in a book on the history of reaction to government policy on fluoride:.

  http://www.amazon.co.uk/fluoride-wars-americas-political-melodrama/dp/0470448334/ref=sr_1_64?ie=utf8&s=books&qid=1276764067&sr=1-64.

  use the "search inside" feature to find the discussion of the golden age on pages 131 and 132.. among other things it says: "unbelievably, the golden age published over 130 articles railing against aluminium cookware between 1925 and 1969".. did the society continue to publish articles against aluminum as late as 1969?

  I think 2 generations of cookware (Aluminium and Stainless Steel) overlapped at one point so it should end soon!

  Ooops - reckon I've got muddled again

  a few years back, before i had any doubts and when i was a hardcore jw, i remember a super-pioneer-jw sister was conversing with me.

  i made the comment about some of my friends at work (all non-witnesses).

  she stops me mid sentence and says "friends?

  You mean you never went to a CA where they said, "Jehovah hasn't got a friend in the world"?

  No hiding those photographs in the 20's - definitely didn't have photoshop and it definitely said "will never die"

  All the posts have their same potency though!

  DPReview is a good site .... having been involved in photography for longer than I care to recall I've tried most manufacturers products.

  Aside from the Nikon range which I use semi-professionally I heartily recommend the Panasonic Lumix range of cameras.

  I bought a "bridge" camera a year ago as I was not "enjoying" carrying lots of equipment on our trips to Europe. Mrs. Hotspur (who is an excellent photographer and a staunch supporter of Fuij) wanted a pocket Panasonic. So we bought 2 recently... they are perfect and very robust.

  You might like to have a look at these shots of Prague taken this year. Mrs. Hotspur slipped on some and broke her wrist, fell on her new camera but only the wrist was damaged!

  Talking to two J dubs on a busy downtown street

  so im out of town for a couple of days for a software seminar.

  it didnt start until noon yesterday so i took a walk down a busy street famous for its shopping and as i got to the end of the stores and the beginning of apartments i noticed two women standing on the sidewalk in front of what i later noticed was a kingdom hall.

  as i started walking by giving them a smile and a polite greeting the one that was older, they were both young based on my terms the older in her 30s middle to late the younger in her 20s probably late.

  Actually, "murder" is more apposite. Killing is something more related to circumstantial death. Murder, on the other hand, is a pre-meditated act!

  I suppose murder could be classified as pre-meditated killing. That has to be totally in violation of the Bible's written Laws.
