I am intrigued by the Roman Toga comment there..... any ideas? 

Was he considering himself ready to go to heaven and prepared in his white robes for his salvation?

@JW Insider might remember the story of A.H. Macmillan standing on the bridge in his white robes ready to be raptured. I forget the details though.

 

Here is the archive list 

 

Bundle up @Anna and @Arauna.....

Are they any others of you that will be feeling this?

Every so often we read of a congregation sponsoring immigrants to the USA.

Is this a widespread practice? @JW Insider or just individual jw's acting on their own?

Mormons are posthumously baptizing Holocaust victim as well as grandparents of public figures like D. Trump, Hillary Clinton and Steve Spielberg.

After Jews complained about baptisms of Jewish Holocaust victims, saying such baptisms deny the Jewish identity of those who died because of their faith, the LDS church worked with Jewish groups to stop the practice. But the system of preventing the baptism of Holocaust victims, initiated in 1995, has not been foolproof, as was shown this week with the disclosure about Wiesenthal’s parents.
For Mormons, baptizing the dead solves a big theological problem: How do billions of people who never had the opportunity to accept Jesus Christ – including those who lived before Jesus walked the earth – receive salvation? By baptizing the dead, a practice known as posthumous proxy baptism, Mormons believe they are giving every person who ever lived the chance at everlasting life. That includes Muslims, Hindus, atheists, pagans, whoever.

Three times as big as Exxon Valdez? Wow.

Wow.... they must have been doing over 120mph for that kind of 'air". 

I bet some smart person could calculate the weight of the car and the height to determine the necessary speed for such an accident.
