  ok, if you're a canuck, chances you know that gordon lightfoot is about right up there with ol' jehover!.

  but if not, nevermind, but i have to admit, i have been a lifelong fan of: gordon lightfoot.. this evening, i took his 'greatest hits' and gave it a listen, and as expected, i was still enthralled with his lyrical genius, and playing abilities.. anyone a gordon lightfoot fan?.

  just curious.. all your folks living along north america's "great lakes" keep in mind, next month is the 28th anniversary of the sinking of the "edmund fitzgerald".. that song, by gordon lightfoot is haunting from beginning to end (over 6 minutes).. i personally love: go-go girl in love, bitter green, canadian railway trilogy, sundown, race among the ruins, wreck of the edmund fitzgerald, and well i like just about every damn thing he ever did.. your contributions?

  *****power of prayer enjoy this and know you are in good hands..... this is quite a story... goose bump type.

  diane, a young university student, was home for the summer.

  she had gone to visit some friends one evening and time passed quickly as each shared their various experiences of the past year.

  I am not a JW, but am married to one. I am not surprised at hearing about these "Urban Legends" that you all say were repeated ad nauseum while you were in, and are still repeated. But...let me tell you my story:

  As a 6 yr old growing up with a very violent alcoholic mother, I always feared the dark-bedtime was the time she was up and would often come into my room. One night, I was terrified and began to earnestly pray (as I often did). Beside me appeared a HUGE person in white, he or she sparkled from head to foot, and he was as tall as the ceiling! The person simply said to me: "Do not be afraid, I am here". I remember rolling over and sleeping REALLY sleeping for the first time in weeks!

  I did not remember this event until I formally accepted Christ as a 22 yr old, and started to learn about angels. Please do not negate the possibility of Guardians...they are real. I know I risk being laughed at royally, but this a TRUE story, and I am very grateful to my guardian, and to God who sent him/her!

  I grew up in MT, so Gordon was a STAPLE for me in my turbulent 20's. I equate him with falling deeply in love for the first time, as it was my lover who introduced me to the bard. I was overjoyed to hear "Sundown" being played in my local coffee shop yesterday with a 20-something behind me singing along!

  Ah YES!!! HE IS BACK!!! and more popular than ever! YEAH!!!

  do these things including the sending of convicted pedophiles door-to-door upset you too?

  then why not make contribution checks payable to silentlambs at silentlambs, po box 311, calvert city, ky 42029.

  imagine, for every revealing article that hits the paper there may be ninety-nine that stay untold.

  As a newbie and a non JW married to one, I have a rather serious question for everyone about this issue:

  If you happen to know of someone who has abused children in the past, and most likely still is, what should you do? This person happens to be my husband's brother and is an active member in good standing in a cong in the NW. The entire family is JW and denies it, but my husband's children were among some of the children involved. This did occur many years ago.

  My husband is just now trying to get reinstated and when asked about this, he did not want to deal with it. His kids are now grown and still dubs in a different part of the state and do not have much contact with their father's family, nor have they come forward with any pertinent info re: this abuse other than to their respective therapists. My husband hopes someday to hear "the rest of the story" in regards to his brother's actions towards his own kids, when and if they are ever ready to tell the whole truth. I think we all know why they and countless others have never come forward to "blow the whistle"on this guy.

  I would dearly love to warn everyone in this particular area of the NW about this predator!

  Thoughts?

  washington - the supreme court said tuesday it will decide whether the pledge of allegiance recited by generations of american schoolchildren is an unconstitutional blending of church and state.

  the case sets up an emotional showdown over god in the public schools and in public life.

  I can't help but wonder if the phrase "One nation under God" were to be changed to "One nation under a God if we so choose" how that might affect this issue. Just throwing nuts in with the bolts...What does everyone think?

  Hit Me With Some Snappy Comebacks Puleeeeeeeeze!!

  okay...so i'm invited to a baby shower for my daughter-in-law which will most likely be attended by myriads upon myriads of jw's.

  i won't go into the nasty details...but they've been married four years now and have another little daughter...their wedding was boycotted by most jw's because she was not baptized yet (but grew up a jw)...and my son was.

  so every since the wedding fiasco...they have been pretty much shunned by the jw's...and attend meetings infrequently.

  If perchance they were invited to your daughter in laws wedding... Them: "We've missed you....!" (in cooing voice) You: "We missed you at the wedding....! (equally cooing voice) Retort #2: "Well, I was never lost..." Cheers and jeers, mobbie
