i know this is a bit off the topic of religion, but i just got back from seeing ant man with my son.
i'm getting tired of the fact that hollywood (and in this case the action/hero genre) rarely seems to have an original thought.
has anybody noticed the same theme?.
as far as i can remember watchtower has been notorious for not citing their sources in their literature.
the most they will do is to cite their in house, long living expert by the name of scholar.
after 40 + years all i've ever read is the mantra "one scholar says" ad nauseum.
It's not "One Scholar", it's "Juan Scholar", the famous Spanish researcher. The MEPS system just has a problem translating it for the US and UK editions.
according to the newest watchtower:.
jehovah communicated with adam in the garden of eden, using human language.
god likely did so in an ancient form of hebrew.
Saintbertholdt, that was ameyzing und wunderlicht. You show yourself to be a klug mensch (or faktish froy, depending on the gender).

her name was cheryl ann draper and she was about 11 years old the day she begged her daddy, who worked at a gas station, to let her go with him to work.
Damn, Terry...just..damn...

"A fellow will remember a lot of things you wouldn't think he'd remember. You take me. One day, back in 1896, I was crossing over to Jersey on the ferry, and as we pulled out, there was another ferry pulling in, and on it there was a girl waiting to get off. A white dress she had on. She was carrying a white parasol. I only saw her for one second. She didn't see me at all, but I'll bet a month hasn't gone by since that I haven't thought of that girl."- Mr. Bernstein, Citizen Kane

Best memory my sons ever had for an assembly.
The same weekend that we had our summer convention, just a few miles away was a Star Trek/Fantasy convention. My oldest really wanted to go, as a friend of his from school would also be there. So, I drove him there in the morning to spend the day. Then, since I felt guilty about it, I let his brother (who was dressed for the assembly) go as well when we got there. At lunch break, I brought him his regular clothes.
They got to see William Shatner and talk to a voice actor for various animated shows (including Clone Wars). The best Assembly Saturday THEY ever had!

1985-The day of the convention that the "Creation" book was released.
Standing in line, waiting for my copy, I notice the VERY CUTE blonde girl making eye contact with me and smiling. I look away and look back, yeah, no mistake, she is definitely vamping me!
Annnnnnddd... just at that moment, my Dad, gives his signature whistle, gives the twirling finger signal that we are "heading out" and I look back to see the look of pouty disappointment on the young lady's face as we leave.
Looked for her the next day, never found her. (No, I did not steal this scene from "American Grafitti", but it does have its similarities...)
Every so often, that memory comes up. Who was she? Was she really interested, or just giving a random fat guy a hopeless thrill? And if she was interested in me, why? Oh, the road not taken, the gusto not gone for. Why did my 19 year old self HAVE TO ride with my folks that day? Why wasn't I more assertive? What might have been?
And that's the best memory I have ever had of an assembly.
