Coming soon to a District Convention near you, it's the Aposto-Blimp!
by Skimmer incoming soon to a district convention near you, it's the aposto-blimp!.
be on the lookout for the latest technology for telling the truth about the truth: a five meter long, helium filled blimp which will cruise about the hapless fools at a district convention.
made from tear-resistant mylar with propellors powered by lightweight lithium power cells, the blimp will be guided by a small computer with gps assistance and will follow its flight path in and around the stadium for hours at a time.

Another self introducton
by Skimmer ingreeting to all the readership:.
i am a newcomer to this board, and as i have enjoyed reading the self-introductions of others, i'd thought i'd post one of my own.. in 1966 i was a nine year old boy and my parents where going through a messy divorce.
i wound up spending some time with an aunt and uncle who had been jws for all of their adult lives, and they gave me a copy of the wtbts book _from paradise lost to paradise regained_.

A funny response from cartalk.com
by Skimmer inon national public radio, there's a weekly hour-long program called "car talk with click and clack the tappet brothers".
it's been around for twenty years and is one of the most popular programs on npr.
it's website is http://cartalk.com (there's a podcast, too) and one of the features of the site (and program) is a puzzler where the audience is challenged with a (usually) automotive related conundrum.

q: given that fred franz was the wtbts chief theologian for over sixty years until his death back in 1992 and that since then just about everything he taught including just about all of his chronological fantasy has been discarded, how do you explain the following: .
1) if he's ruling in heaven along with a good chunk of the 144,000 fds class, how come he's allowed his life work to be tossed in the trash?

A couple of comparisons: the WT of today vs the early 1970s
by Skimmer inthe other day i happened to make my monthly stop at the local fast food joint when i usually borrow one of the community newspapers for an afternoon read.
this time around i see a couple of wt magazines.
as always, my concerns for my fellow man caused me to grab these toxic items for a later meal -- a meal fed to my cross cut shredder at home.
