The New Colossus

 The New Colossus

by Emma Lazarus



Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,

With conquering limbs astride from land to land;

Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand

A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame

Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name

Mother of Exiles.  From her beacon-hand

Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command

The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.

"Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she

With silent lips.  "Give me your tired, your poor,

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,

I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

WHAT THE WATCH TOWER BIBLE AND TRACT SOCIETY OF PENNSYLVANIA HAD TO SAY ABOUT WHAT WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE HAPPENED in 1874

  AWAKEN                                                     Issue #33   1874 - WHAT THE WATCH TOWER BIBLE AND TRACT SOCIETY OF PENNSYLVANIA        HAD TO SAY ABOUT WHAT WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE HAPPENED THEN.   This issue will comprise mainly of quotes from Watch Tower publications. Present day Jehovah's Witnesses are unlikely to be aware of any of this material. Why ?

Both sets of incompatible conjectures were promoted as being found  and proven in Scriptures. Prior to 1943 if a follower of the Watch Tower questioned any of the Watch Tower's teaching about 1874, that person risked getting kicked out of the group ...

War of the World TV series

EDITOR'S NOTE: I have only compiled this list.  I claim no responsibility for errors, discrepensies, bogus entries, repeated or contradictiory entries, spelling or grammatical errors, or governmental action against those in possession of this list. Thank for for your support! THE PREMISE: Last year, I attended a Science Fiction convention during which I discovered (along with other things) that the makers of the recently-demised TV series War of the Worlds, had a scene in the very first episode, where the original Martian war machines were found mouldering in a LA warehouse.  For fun, the special effects folk labeled one of the boxes in the warehouse 'Ark of the Covenant', indicating that it was the SAME warehouse where the Govt.  hid everything that folks were not to know about.  Recently, I decided to try to use this warehouse in a role-playing game, for fun.  I've been trying to figure out things that should be in some of the boxes.  I'...
