Well in the light of a few recent postings, notably Ice Cream Hot Dogs Apple Pie & Chevrolet!, I figured this thread could use a fresh airing.
Here's my true contribution.

This is the transcript of an ACTUAL radio conversation of a US naval ship with Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in October, 1995.
(Radio conversation released by the Chief of Naval Operations 10-10-95.)
Americans: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the North to avoid a collision.
Canadians: Recommend you divert YOUR course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision.
USA: This is the Captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course.
Canada: No. I say again, you divert YOUR course.
USA: This is the aircraft carrier USS Lincoln, the second largest ship in the United States' Atlantic Fleet. We are accompanied by three destroyers, three cruisers and numerous support vessels. I demand that you change your course 15 degrees north, that's one five degrees north, or counter measures will be undertaken to ensure the safety of this ship!!!
Canada: This is a lighthouse. Your call.

which do you consider to be more important, personal integrity or organisational unity?.
9 however, uri'ah lay down at the entrance of the kings house with all the other servants of his lord, and he did not go down to his own house.
nevertheless, he went out in the evening to lie down on his bed with the servants of his lord, and to his own house he did not go down.

The disobedient man is praised, the obedient man disowned.
Why?
Damn fine question Nic! I'm surprised there were so few takers first time round so let's give it another shot.
IMHO, the 'disobedient' man did the RIGHT thing, the obedient man erred. Simple as that.
Don't we sometimes over-analyse?
okay, this need not necessarily be controversial but i would like some honest opinions on the matter.
from time to time (in last sundays wt lesson for example) i read in the magazines or hear brothers say this in their talks.
(with some variation) arent we grateful that jehovah has waited this long before loosing armageddon on mankind?

Read Frenchy's opening post and then read it again!
That's a damn fine question that needs answering. Any JW takers?!
hello friends,.
in a thread over at witnesses.net entitled "society bracing for law suits" fellow jw's are taking swipes at ray franz.
not too long ago, while i was still under the wt spell i also would have similarily spoken abusively of ray.

Make no mistake to read that book is to face up to the reality that the WTS is not what we have made it to be.
Amen!

from time to time someone will make a truly interesting post that somehow slips the net and and drifts off into obscurity.. most posters are usually too modest to 'bump' their own posts more than once which can mean that perfectly good questions go unanswered or unobserved.
or, a post may become a real 'hit' but after its natural life has been spent it will of course fade away.
but what of the many new members who never got the chance to see it the first time around?.
Where I come from, 'dredging' is not a particularly complimentary term.
Care to enlighten me ozziepost?
Where I come from a dredger is a type of trawler boat, check the following definitions:
dredge1 (drj)
n.
Any of various machines equipped with scooping or suction devices and used to deepen harbors and waterways and in underwater mining.
Nautical. A boat or barge equipped with a dredge.
v. dredged, dredg·ing, dredg·es
v. tr.
To clean, deepen, or widen with a dredge.
To bring up with a dredge: dredged up the silt.
To come up with; unearth: dredged up bitter memories.
v. intr.
To use a dredge: dredging for alluvial gold.
As you can see, a dredger pulls up the good, bad and indifferent. I'll try to be a little more discriminating, you'll all be the judges of my success or failure!
you don't really know anyone on this board,Oh I've been around here for quite a while ozziepost! (guess that'll start the identity hunt)

Are you going to do this monitoring on a 24 hour basis, or what? How will you do it? I've got an idea. Why don't you 'rank' them? A good one gets a '10' entered on your response.
24 hour monitoring? I'm good but I'm not that good!
No, I'll just dip in and out like everyone else, the only difference will be my reason for being here at all.........TO DREDGE!
As for ratings, well that's purely subjective isn't it? I think the number of replies a post generates is as much of a rating system as we need.

And who dredges the dredger?To maintain fairness and parity that should be anyone/everyone but me.

Perhaps we could have some sort of vote on this, to see if posters really want your "service," Dredger.
I vote nay.
hmmmm!
What are you hiding dedalus? Perhaps I should go take a look!

Enter 'The Dredger.'
It's my mission to rescue from the deepest, murkiest fathoms of this forum those posts and questions which, in my humble opinion, deserve a fresh airing.
Perhaps a news item or new information has come to light with a bearing on the original post?
Perhaps a poster contradicts an earlier statement?
Whatever the reason, I'll do my best to be fair and even handed, rescuing the serious and the entertaining, the ludicrous and the heartmoving.
I look forward to being of service.
