to all my friends of yesterday,.
Here's one I just randomly wrote.
In moments of wistful reflection,
When one thinks of loves that could have been,
My thoughts often turn to this family of mine,
Turned shadows, echos of minds once so keen.
They (in another life) would have been your healers,
Some would have read law,
Others would have been artists-
Had they not shut-out the colors they saw.
I count myself among them,
A tragedy of youth misspent.
Lives handed over to a fantasy,
of this I do truly repent.
aka how to gloss over/lie about your history.. hurd starts off trying to sell the idea that the bible students were unsure of what would supposedly happen in 1914. this is a double lie.. first, they were not in doubt.
but bear in mind that the end of 1914 is not the date for the beginning, but for the end of the time of trouble.

Sam Herd:
At the Kingdom's birth in 1914, the Bible Students were not exactly sure what was going to happen but they knew it would be a pivotal year. For decades they had been singing that the Gentile Times were closing and that the kings had had their day.
I found it odd that he said that they had been SINGING this. Does anyone know if there is some significance to this? Are they trying to phrase thins in a way that would be technically correct but misleading?

The year A.D. 1878 … clearly marks the time for the actual assuming of power as King of kings, by our present, spiritual, invisible Lord - … -The Time is At Hand (1911 ed) p.239
All that preaching and literature that he brags about? Any one of those publications would get you Disfellowshipped for apostasy today. Such light!
hello simon.
i'm using chrome on android and cannot access the search function.
i tap on search and am returned to the home page.. for why, simon?
andrea montgomery was found guilty as charged on each of the 6 charges of child rape of her biological son, alan von webb, the oldest boy of four children.
today, many media people were there in the courtroom for the first time since the trial started.. the verdict came in about 3:30 p.m. which took time for the judge to read, etc., so i learned about it at 4 p.m. when the father of the four children, now young adults, called us.
one of the children has down's syndrome, and it's difficult to imagine, but he also was raped since a child by his mother.
