As another earlier poster said, there are some artists who use magazines and other photos to get the images and perspective of virtually everything they do. I worked with an artist for a time, who later (mid 80's) went to bethel into the art department. I watched him draw, moved the scaffold, etc (he was painting a mural in a Kingdom Hall). If he wanted to draw a deer, he had to have a photo of a deer and to copy its form, the way its legs were positioned, everything about it. He couldn't just 'draw a deer' from memory or imagination. So if the artist for the Live Forever drawing was like that, he must have had the 'Stern' photo available and copied the girl from it.

Awesome! I do question the date. Was 1904 movie technology capable of doing that?

OK, as a followup, I am disabled and have a disabled parking placard, but I don't use a wheelchair. I parked yesterday in the parking garage at work and parked in one of the parking spaces that are wider, specifically for those with wheelchairs. I was a bit outside the lines, too. I got a ticket from the security staff!
LOL, I thought of Terry and this post.

I had a disabling injury two years ago and went from able-bodied to disabled overnight. I didn't realize until then how fantastic the handicap access laws are. So while the old man may have been rude and even mean, I understand where he is coming from.

by Wasanelder Once inin the 1960's and early 70's there were wt dramas on subjects of morality sent to radio stations to fulfill their required block of religious broadcasts.

I remember them. We had the reel to reel tape recordings at the time and my father had the job to take them down to the radio station. They were really boring, as I recall.

Go bags?
by punkofnice ini heard recently that there was a talk given at the kh about having a 'go bag' ready because the big 'a' must be soooo close as evidenced by syria and the russian jobo thing.. does anyone know if this 'go bag' thing is substantiated in publications or just a local nut job being paranoid and attention seeking?.
i also wonder about this 'go bag' thing, apparently, you need to make sure your biscuits (that's cookies to my over the pond friends), are not out of date.
don't carry water, it's too heavy.. too many questions do i have.

New letter about Circuit Conventions accounting procedures
by Hecce ini hope that one of the friends will post the letter soon.
i heard that on 3/27/2017 a letter with new instructions about the accounts at the circuit conventions was released.
the letter seems to adopt many of the corrections that had been suggested here at the forum, among other things during the accounts report they will be no mention of the per capita and the amount due is going to be released only to the elders.

At the last SAD day I was in attendance, they announced that they had 6000 excess from the last assembly, but the elders voted to send 3500 as a donation to the WT, leaving only 2500. Then they announced that the circuit had a deficit for the day because there had not been enough donations to cover the costs that day (about 9000). Duh, I thought, then why did you send the 3500 to the WT?

Watchtower/Bethelite Volunteers and US Self Employment or FICA Tax?
by EnlightenedEphesian inwith so many aging bethelites being "laid off" after years of volunteer service, what hope do they have of collecting any social security retirement?
i ask because i recently learned that my mother will not receive any government retirement benefits because she did not work enough to collect the 40 credits required.
this got me to thinking about bethel volunteers.

To my knowledge they do not pay into Social Security, and the WT does not contribute either. I <think> that is why the Bethelites take a 'Vow of Poverty' and become members of the 'Special Order of Full Time Servants' or something like that. It is similar to a monk in a monastery. This is how the WT avoids paying into FICA and into Worker's Comp.
