  Trouble For Richie

  as many of you know, i have a myspace.com account.. apparently, while i was out last night, someone called my mother and informed her of my activities on myspace.

  my mother called and asked me for my login info, and was shocked to see me, and around 40 witnesses in my area having active profiles.

  contents of these profile ranged from a few pictures to downright self-incrimination.

  I hate it with a passion when the meeting will end late and, to add insult to injury, they ask a brother that takes like 5 minutes to say a prayer to close the meeting.

  I usually complaint to the elders, whoever I find on my way out the door, about the meetings ending late and to make matters worse putting someone that takes so darn long to offer a prayer.

  The WBTS is desperate. They're hemorrhaging, ripping at the seams in the worst way. Can't hold on to the young and the technology-oriented. They'll try and say just about anything to guilt the rank and file into staying and doing 'more, more, more'!

  Well, at least Crooklyn took care of him 'til the very end.

  So many JWs dedicate their lives to 'the lie', then one day find themselves old and without a retirement/insurance plan to take care of themselves.

  May this person rest in peace.

  Karma is a wonderful thing, though.

  The woman has her share of heartaches/headaches/serious problems with illegitimate children, abusive partners, big time in the poor house.

  The parents sure forgave her, but her siblings, immediate relatives, and other friends will not give her the time of the day.

  She's sure paying for the irreparable damage she did. What goes around, comes around. What a wonderful concept.

  I personally know of a case in which a rebellious teenager claimed Repressed Memory Syndrome of past sexual abuse at the hands of her father.

  She and her siblings were taken away from the home, and the poor man/family was subjected to the greatest of scrutinies and almost convicted the father if not for the excellent investigative work of social workers, detectives and lawyers. By the way, his defense fees put the family in the poor house big time!

  When the daughter turned 27 years old and she was done ruining her adult life with illegitimate children and , she came out in public and said she had lied about the whole thing as a way of getting back at her parents whom she thought restricted her a lot.

  The horrible damage had been done and there was no taking it back. However, as parents usually do, they've forgiven this evil human being for what she did.

  The only thing constant is change.

  The sooner we all understand this, the sooner our lives will move forward and perhaps improve if we've learned something from the previous changes.
