My Memorial Experience
by dedalus ini forgot all about the memorial.
(fortunately, my wife and i did not accidentally partake of any saltines or grape juice.).
so, on this year's nisen 14, i played some racquetball in the late afternoon with one of my brothers, and in the evening i had a wonderful dinner with my wife and daughter.

And Englishmen, a German, and a Frenchman.........................
by pr_capone inan englishman, a german and a frenchman are all in saudi arabia, sharing a smuggled crate of booze when, all of a sudden, saudi police rush in and arrest them.
the mere possession of alcohol is a severe offence in saudi arabia, so for the terrible crime of actually being caught consuming the booze, they are all sentenced to death!
however, after many months and with the help of very good lawyers, they are able to successfully appeal their sentences down to life imprisonment.

Subliminal self-promotion
by Maverick ini thought i would try a little experiment.
i saved all my bound volumes of the wt and was curious as to how mant time the writing department of the governing body made reference to the 'organization' in one form or another.. .
i picked a bv at random and read four watchtower articles, (that was all i could stomach), and underlined each mention of the brotherhood is its various forms.
