"The Golden Image" and another presto-chango
by onacruse ini cut my eye-teeth on the your will be done book, and oh how fascinated i was to have the "visual" of that dream-image, and the conviction that it was the wonderful fds who, for the first time, had revealed that light on god's word.
even when i had read some of russell's works, the same explanation was offered, and so (naturally, as the good little dubber that i was), i assumed that the wts had always taught the same about this passage from daniel.
but then, last week, i came across this interesting little tidbit (

Another early legend about Jesus birth
by Leolaia inthe ascension of isaiah preserves what might be a cognate but independent tale about jesus' birth.
this book was initially pre-christian and was known to the author of hebrews (cf.
hebrews 11:37 = ascenis 5:2-15), but was heavily interpolated in the first and second century a.d. the first interpolation, 3:13-4:22, most likely dates to the end of the first century (as it was known to second-century writers in its literary form) but the second, the so-called vision of isaiah (11:2-22) is later, probably from the first half of the second century.

You Have One Shot.
by Englishman inyou're out somewhere, shopping maybe or in a restaurant or bus queue, whatever.. you've not been to the meetings for a couple of years, you are now an inactive person.
you might even have da'd yourself or got df'd.. you suddenly realise you are facing or stood next to someone that you know is a jw.
you also know that they know that you were once a jw too.. the person greets you and starts up a conversation with you.

Parental and Grandparental Rights of Visitation Denied?
by jst2laws inthe watchtower society has legal packets they send out and a battery of attorneys who assist local attorneys when jw couples split and the issue of child custody must be addressed with a disfellowshipped or a "non-believing" parent.
but the trouble sometimes continues for years afterward regarding visitation rights.
what we are perticularly looking for is the court addressing the issue of visitation where one of the parents is disfellowshipped or da'd.
