Funny Memory
by dobby inin the coffee shop this morning they were playing eddie money's two tickets to paradise.. i love this song, but haven't heard it in a while and it brought back the funniest memory.. when the song came out when i was a kid, i remember my mother laughing at it and saying, "if only eddie money knew that we really have two tickets to paradise," (namely the watchtower and awake).
hee hee.
actually it's kind of pitiful that i can't even listen to an eddie money song without some bizarre dub flashback!.

SCARY field service experiences
by asleif_dufansdottir insheila mentioned on another thread that she'd been out in service and run across what was evidently a survivalist compound.
this reminded me of something the sister who studied with me told me.. our hall was "blessed" with a territory that included both rulo, ne (where 3 members of a religious/survivalist/paramilitary cult were tortured and murderd in 1985) and humboldt, ne (teena brandon - "girls don't cry").
i actually lived only a couple of miles from the place brandon was killed only a year before it happened (didn't know any of those involved).. the sister told me she'd been in service to the place by rulo and actually talked to michael ryan (the leader, now on death row).

If the Catholic church has to pay retribution to victims, is the WT next?
by LyinEyes inat the beginning of dan rathers news report he mentioned the vast amount of retribution, not sure if that is the correct legal word, ( money paid to victims thru settlements etc), and it was a staggering amount.
there are so many who will finally have their day in court, literally.
so if the catholic church has to pay out for their coverups , doesnt it seem that soon the wt will also have to do the same?

Old literature?
by asleif_dufansdottir inwe're moving, and have a couple of boxes of literature from the late 80's and early 90's in the basement.
i hate to just throw away books (even jw books), but i'm certainly not going to send it somewhere where it might mislead more people.
(giving to somebody to store them until the society changes its tune enough for them to be useful?

How to make a covenant with God.
by thinker infor those who want to see it from the bible, here is how to make a covenant with god; followed by the 'plain english' translation... ge15:9 and he said unto him, take me an heifer of three years old, and a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon.
ge15:10 and he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each piece one against another: but the birds divided he not.
ge15:11 and when the fowls came down upon the carcases, abram drove them away.
