  I used to do it alllll the time. But not only things that would indicated my leaving the troof.... but also had to "de-gay" the house. You know... hide the Judy Garland CDs, put away a lot of the candles, no fresh flower arrangements.... Just kidding, to a point. I did have an agreement with a friend that if something were to happen to me, he'd come over and remove all my porn before my mom could see it. I was to do the same for him.
  
  So much mental and physical energy spent because of the WT. Imagine what good I could have done with that energy instead.

  today my mother got results from a biopsy she had on tuesday.

  she was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and has to have surgery to remove the thyroid.

  the doctor said this type of cancer is almost always curable which is good news.

  Devon,

  I just went through a cancer scare with my mom. So I know how you feel. It makes you feel so helpless. In the end, everything worked out for the best for her and i'm sure it will for your mom, too.

  All my best,

  someone mentioned this in one of their posts and i had a flashback.

  i remember getting a w on one of my theocratic school talks when i was working on gesturing.

  the funny thing about it is that it was given to me by my dad!

  If you gave a talk in the main hall, you always got a "W" if it was the first time you had worked on that point. Didn't matter if you deserved a "G" or not... Everyone got a "W." BUT, if you gave a talk in the second school, then you had a chance of getting a "G" the first time. The elder in the main hall was hardcore old school, but the brother in the second school was younger and more fair.

  Now, listen here... you need to do what your doctor says. I know it's easier said than done. Ray is totally right. Having these tests run will give you a clean bill of health, or let you know what you need to change to get a clean bill of health.
  
  Aight? Aight.

  If You Could Have Had Bill Clinton As President For Another Term.....

  The guys is/was a sleaze. I have no respect for him or his administration whatsoever. His presidency, in my opinion, is the epitome of "Wag The Dog"

  Hey Big Tex,

  I know you probably mean this about Bill Clinton... but honestly... it could also apply to Bush, Jr. Both sides are guilty of "Wag the Dog" politics.

  I agree... the whole Dem vs. Repubs is really getting old. Neither side is going to see it the other's way. But, when I went to vote in 1996 and 2000, I asked myself, "Is my life now better or worse than it was four years ago?" Both times, the answer was, "Better." However, this November when I ask that question, (unless I win the lottery or something) the answer is going to be, "Worse." Bush, Jr. is responsible for that, regardless of what he "inheirited" from Clinton.

  Just my 2cents,

  Yes, I would have definately voted for Clinton again.

  No, I don't think he would have us in Iraq. He was the consumate politician, IMHO. He would have done the UN thing (like the WTS), except he probably would have gotten more support. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Depends on who you ask. If you're one of the 500+ soldiers who have died over there's family members, it would be a good thing. But, honestly, we'll never know what he would have done...

  A long-discussed proposal from the Jehovah's Witnesses to build a 1,000-unit residence hall and parking garage in Dumbo, Brooklyn, has reached the desks of city planners

  The Borg wants to build a hall in a place called Dumbo?? LMAO!! Well, it certainly would be an appropriate place for them to build!!

  I agree! I did a search on Google about DUMBO... here is what I found:
  

  DUMBO is the popular name of a neighborhood in Brooklyn, from "Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass." It is located between the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges. . DUMBO has become known as an artists' haven, as many of the expansive warehouses in the neighborhood have been renovated into loft space.

  Hmmmm... this just confirms that Russell's printing company has become a huge real estate developement company as well.
