1984, Big Mother, and the Watchtower on freeminds2.org
by DS211 in1984 and big motherby randall wattersno one thought much of the book when it was first published in 1949, nor, in fact, did it stir much attention for a number of years thereafter.
in the last two decades, however, the book1984 by george orwell has drawn a much greater reading audience.
orwell portrays a society brainwashed by political ideologies to the point where they are intolerant of any other mindset.

24 hour field service marathon ??
by gingerbread infield service for up to twenty-four hours non-stop.... it's a bit of a fad in our area with pioneers - the twenty somethings especially.
we've heard from other family members and a jw friend that it's a thing in their part of the country as well.. it sounds like a group decides on a day and then piles into a van or suv to 'work' the territory - 12, 18 and even 24 hours.. anyone else hearing of this?.

The WTS could learn a lot from the pope.
by Simon inwho'd a thunk that the wts new age religion would have the old, stodgy, completely aloof, arrogant and out of touch leadership and the old established catholic church would have the hip, cool dude at the top totally rockin' it?!.
i'm not religious but i have to say, he seems like a great leader - down to earth, humble, sensible and not full of himself despite his position.
he used to be a bouncer, did the laundry for his underlings and generally sets an example of how people like the gb should behave ... but don't.. kudos to him for doing a great job so far.
