Comment about Family and Community Shunning
by Band on the Run ini was minding my own business, out of my jw zone, reading a current best-seller, the finkler question, a man booker prize winner, by howard jacobson.
the main character, julien, has two jewish friends with very different views of israel.
the older one, libor, feels he may end up in israel b/c he will have no choice.

Watchtower Publications As A Fuel Source
by metatron ini just wanted to express my appreciation for watchtower publications as a source of home heating fuel.
they are really superior to what the world has to offer.
countless books and magazines use heavily glossed paper that has a high ash content.

I Dreamt of a Book Even More Secret Than the Elders Book!!!!
by Broken Promises ini was at a second hand book stall and there was a beige-coloured book concerning the governing body.
it covered the history of each of the individuals of gb, plus information on how they were to operate etc.
kind of like a version of the flock book, only this was designed to be for the gb's eyes only!!!.

Australian Taxation office investigating religions as charities/tax status
by Mattieu inthere has been a lot of rumblings in the media here lately as to the worthiness of some religions enjoying a tax free benefit due to charity/not for profit status.. the latest media reports are on the hillsong church:.
http://www.news.com.au/money/money-matters/tax-office-push-for-charity-monitoring/story-e6frfmd9-1225896551630.
i actually spoke to the reporter of this article a month ago on an unrelated matter, so will call him with a suggestion on a follow up article to this on the jw's.. we have an election looming, so will not hold my breath as to the government setting up an inquiry so as not to lose favour with voters, though based on the readers comments on the news.com.au website, they should.. cheers, mattieu (go webber at hockenheim......).

Teach a squirrel to chainsaw and you'll run forever
by gubberningbody inyou know that old adage, "give a squirrel a chainsaw and you'll run for a day.
teach a squirrel to chainsaw and you'll run forever."?.
chainsaw wielding squirrels might raze all the nut-bearing trees to the ground, but it might also change the tactics of squirrels when they feel the need to defend themselves.
