by minimus inyears before the elder arrangement, there was only one presiding overseer or congregation servant.
he was thee man.

by edmond dantes inin light of the new disfellowship guide lines which are there to protect the combined asses of the governing body will they be announcing from the platform the names of reinstated ones as and when it happens and how will these new rules from gestapo h.q.
apply to the ones who can't make their mind up whether it's the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth ?.

Spartacus
by sass_my_frass ini watched spartacus the other day and was reminded of every district convention drama i've ever seen; the style of music, the style of cheesy 'olden times' garb, the way men treat women, the corny dialogue, the way the 'loose' women were supposed to have dressed (they all wore fluoro nylon shifts apparently, with gold braid criss-crossing their cleavage just so), the melodrama, the righteousness... ah the fifties.. and yet, it was still the most interesting thing that happened for three days, at any dc..
