  Today's W.T on GB not being inspired is having ZERO impact on most J.W's

  the congregation i attend had it's watchtower study on thursday night because of l.d.c work this week-end, and another congregation i have some not very spiritual friends in had their watchtower study on wednesday.

  from what i have delicately prised out of people, the congregations loved the watchtower study this week, saying it was so encouraging and all the usual stuff, with no-one seeming to realise the g.b.

  said they're not inspired, so the spirit int he past has moved them to teach wrong things, and all the other ideas excellently summed up on reddit.. today's watchtower will wash over the heads of most j.w's like it never even happened, the all remaining as loyal as ever, and it makes me so, so sad..

  A.N.Z.A.C. Day 25th April 2017.

  this day is when there are memorial services across australia and new zealand for our nations' war dead.. on the 25th april 1915 the australian and new zealand army corp' swept ashore at a beach on the mainland of turkey at a place they call galliboli or gallipoli as it is known to us.

  the soldiers were landed at the wrong beach and were shot to hell they faced cliffs and thick coastal scrub.

  they were supposed to be landed some miles further along the coast which was lightly defended and flat sandy beaches.

  I think Churchill was rather high up in the Royal Navy at that time, but I'm not sure you could lay the blame entirely on him. There was also a poignant film starring a young Mel Gibson about Gallipoli... well worth watching.

  I remember Ron Soliday too. He was a circuit overseer in our area in the 80's. I remember he showed us the football field where he broke his leg that ended his playing career in high school.

  couldn't help thinking the above when reading something about china today,.

  it was about a chinese boy band (a pop group organised and trained straight out of the same manual that turns out successful kpop (south korean) boy bands.

  the chinese one is called tfboys, and they have zoomed in popularity.

  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?

  All the jws know about this, so they won't be able to avoid discussion of it
