I don't know you well enough to call you by your first name, but you are one of the first people who I related to on this board. Your story is tragic...in some ways similar to mine. Your posts that I have read have meant something dear to me.

I am so happy for you and your family that you are finally feeling free and feel that you can move on with your life. It just makes me want to go to the KH and during the WT study raise my hands and grab the microphone and scream to them "Lyineyes is free!!! You couldn't beat down and destroy another soul." Of course that's if I went to the KH anymore.

Hoooooray!!! for your son and his achievements, that is something for you to be so proud of.

Eagles are cool, Eagles are cool, but you know they are outright rivals of the Steelers since both teams are in Pennsylvania.

And since when did the Rams move to St. Louis? I was watching the game the other night and couldn't believe my eyes...

Me, I don't watch football as much as I used to. I'm from Huntington, WV and the football team there is Marshall University "The Thundering Herd". Chad Pennington from the NY Jets played football there.

My favorite team is the Pittsburgh Steelers. Yea!!!

My older brother took my twin sister and I to a couple of WVU games when we were in high school.

My twin sister and I used to pass a new roll of toilet paper down the hallway back and forth to each other when we were going to art school, in between the gouche, black ink and rubber cement projects, while we would be watching the Steelers on TV.

Let me know...

Who's your fav?

I am sick of non-designers tell ME how to design! (venting time)

by jwbot in

jw
friends

i do not have a lot of creative free-reign at my "stable" job-i have to cater to low modem speeds (i am talking about web deveolopment here) and that is fine, low resolution-fine, i can do all that.

my business i have, i have more creative free-reign because when i make a design, 90% of the time, the client loves it...they can say a couple words to me and i will make exactly what they want to see.

i charge $45/hour for my work and i have a lot of satisfied customers.

eisenstein

* The Annual General Meeting 2003 *

by truthseeker in

ok, no one seemed to notice, but the annual general meeting came and went around october 4th i think.. did anyone go, know anyone that went, or know what may have been discussed?.

apparently, there are a limited number of tickets issued.

part of the meeting is a business meeting.

GermanJW,

She said it would be untheocratic for her, as a sister, to give out any information before the Governing Body dispensed of the material, either through a letter or by an announcement, or as you mentioned recordings.
