A Religion in a Packet
by Thirdson ini guess when your religion is really a book selling/publishing empire then acts of worship are somewhat lacking.
what i mean from that is, having experienced many different church services, i now remember jw services to be lacking in worship, ceremony, praise and joy.
a meeting at the kingdom hall in comparison to other churches is like comparing fine home cooking to packet meals.. jw services are based on a packet formula.

Churchill's Comment about World State 2 years before WW1
by Thirdson ini found this quote interesting considering how much the watchtower has claimed that the events of 1914 were so unexpected.
winston churchill said this in a recently discovered letter written two years before the conflict of world war 1 began but predicting a war: .
"the european situation is far from safe and anything might happen.

Jackson's Friend Serena
by Thirdson ini was reading cnn today and the part about his friends rallying at his place included this portion: .
"backerman said the celebrities include musician mc hammer, tennis star serena williams and "american idol" host ryan seacrest, as well as latoya jackson and other members of michael jackson's family.
i know that serena isn't really a jw and that she gets away with loads no jw young person could do (playing professional sport, draping the us flag, etc) but she can add associating with df'd and da'd now as well.

Greetings from Tokyo
by Thirdson ini know this is not jw related (although, "if you would like to remain standing while we read a few announcements" will be familiar to many who had to stand up while greetings were read from unknown people)...but anyway i'd like to send my greetings.
i won't have much chance to read many threads or likely respond to this one until i return.
for my sins i am visiting tokyo this week.

two years after 9/11 mrs thirdson feels ok about flying again but i know she won't be at all happy until we touch down again.
