  Brother Tim Horton, the new service overseer

  stopped in tim horton's ( a donut shop) at 10:00 a m today and there were no less than 12 jws in there from three different car groups.

  it took about 25-30 minutes for them all to get their orders and get on their way.

  that's almost 6 hours of service time in the glorious 'ministry'.

  Nobody cares how unproductive the service is, as long as they report their hours. It is more of a social thing now, to build and maintain cohesion in the group, and has little to do with finding 'sheep'.

  Never Bring a Knife to a Drone Fight

  apparently, it's good news, everybody - mohammed emwazi (aka jihadi john) has been targeted by a us drone strike.

  the location was in raqqa, syria, a few yards from isis hq, near a clock tower where crucifixions are carried out.

  there are conflicting reports, some say he died instantly at 11:40pm yesterday, others say that he was badly injured and taken to a nearby hospital.. from what i've previously read about emwazi, he was apparently terrified of being targeted by drones - yesterday it seems his nightmare was made reality.

  Is the Borg winding down printing altogether?

  the thread about magazines stopping distribution in india reminded me of a recent conversation.

  a local brother said he asked for a copy of the new organisation book for publishers.

  the elder told the brother to print it out if he wanted a physical copy.

  In the US the print industry is greatly declining and has put some companies virtually out of business. Newsweek and Encyclopedia Britannica come to mind. I could see the WT printing being eliminated in developed nations. However, in undeveloped countries there is still a need for print.

  i remember at my teen years when i was studying with a brother that he said to me that there was no rain before the flood.

  instead there was this mist that you have.

  never before or after this have i heard something like this.

  Sounds like an interesting book in the works. It reminds me of Angels and Women, which is familiar to WT observers on this site. It is a fictional account of the last years before the Flood from the narrative of Japheth's wife.

  We were taught there were rings around the earth ( the firmament above the expanse, going back to KJV terminology). the rings were where the water vapor was held until the flood. Also the rings caused a greenhouse effect that explained the vegetation in the Arctic , mastodons with green vegetation in their mouths, quickfrozen when the firmament fell. All based on Isaac Vail's theories published in 1912.

  I am thinking the words were , ' now did Noah reject that assignment since he never had built arcs before, Something something , and he built and he preached more and more'. Of course there could have been an earlier version of the same song.

  I was taught the same thing in the 60's. It was part of a pseudo science theory of a 1800's crackpot named Isaac Vail.

  I haven't heard it mentioned for years, so I don't know if is still taught or not.

  I recall that Pastor Russell had a village so enamored of his teachings that they named their village after him. Last I knew it still had it, Russellpuram or something like that.
