  JW: Would you like to celebrate the Lord's evening meal with us at the kingdom hall?

  ME: Will cheeses be there?

  JW: (confused) What?

  ME: Well if I'm going to church to drink wine and eat crackers by god there better be cheeses present.

  where a few of us here on the forum live is in an emergency situation.

  the main spillway on oroville dam -- the tallest dam in the usa -- is damaged.

  the emergency spillway, never used before in the 48 years the dam has operated, is eroding.. major confusion and panic occurred when the order went out sunday, late afternoon: this is not a drill!.

  compound complex The adjacent communities have been very generous, especially with the huge domestic animal population. Moving livestock, horses, etc. is a big job.

  Livestock is one the biggest consumers of time in an area that is preparing for a disaster. In Australia, this time of the year, wildfires can ravage communities and farming districts. Moving the livestock can be a major drama. While insurance pays out the value of your livestock or crops you have to start again. At the present time we have about 40 head of beef cattle on the family farm plus horses. In case of fires we have a horse float and various places in the area we can transfer them. We've fully evacuated twice in the past eight years because of fires. Even if you save the livestock and animals there may be no grass to eat. Cattle are often trucked out just in case a distant fire shifts. Otherwise they are confined to an eaten down area and fed hay.

  After the fire comes the rains and everything grows back again. A massive dam burst or torrential waters destroys everything and takes away the topsoil. Here's hoping they fix the problem pronto.

  I wish we could bring back the purple one, Prince, by swapping him for the seven holy sopranos in Brooklyn. Maybe get him to do a Watchtower cover version of Purple Rain. I'd sing to that.

  WATCHTOWER PAIN

  I always meant to cause you sorrow
  I always meant to cause you pain
  I never wanted to one time to see you laughing
  I only wanted to see you
  Preaching under watchtower pain

  Watchtower pain, watchtower pain

  3.(e) By Charitable Works for the Relief of Poverty

  by Lostandfound in

  1. watchtower

  looking at the australian wt memorandum and articles of this line took my attention.. when did they ever undertake works to relieve poverty, some discarded bethelites facing poverty would laugh at this, more like charitable works for the extension of poverty.

  but no poverty facing the ultra heavies and gb members replete with obscene displays of the means of telling the time..

  Upon entering Bethel and becoming a member of the Worldwide Religious Order of JWs each JW must sign a Vow of Obedience and Poverty.

  There's the "poverty" referred to in the WTBTS Australia's Memorandum and Articles of Association.

  I look forward the the JW Broadcasting report that jehovah's witnesses were taking the lead in volunteering and helping people find shelter while Stephen Lett held back the waters with his finger in the dike.

  
  

  Stephen Lett shows "the finger of god" he used to save the Oroville Dam.

  So, Watchtower is claiming that Stephanie lied to the elders. In that case the elders would have counselled her on lying and given a 'marking' talk. Further Watchtower would not claim privilege on lies. Methinks Watchtower is lying.

  It will be great to question the elders about when or under what circumstances did they suddenly realize they were lied to.
