well like many places in the us we're expecting high temps in the coming days.
it's supposed to be 103 in portland for the entire dc this weekend.
i wonder if they'll be so kind as to call it off for all the elderly and yound children so there aren't any cases of heat stroke in the middle of the sessions?
Most of the conventions locations I remember being at were air conditioned, but there were a few exceptions. One that stands out was Maple Leaf Gardens in the early 90's, it was incredibly hot in there. They never held one there again after that...

i was talking to a friend about this website and he asked me if i remember a story about a jw family, murder/ suicide, i remember hearing a story about a jw dad killing his wife and his kids, i believe the news said that he stabbed and shot them, and that he may have killed them because his wife was about to divorce him.
it happend in ca and i think it was sometime around 1992-1993, i heard a little about it on the news back then but nothing more after that.
if you know about this story or something like it please post.
Worldy Andre,
I guess I must have a strange sense of humor too, b/c I found it very funny..thx for the laugh :)
wow you guys really made me think with the response to my faith topic, i was just arguing with a friend today over israel and invading lebabon and he quoted all the bible scriptures to me trying to show me that, israel were the chosen people of god and how god allowed them to go in and slaughter the canninties (first recorded insident of genocide) including killing small children, and i asked is that what christ jesus died for so god could order the slaughter of babies for the jews?
so you are saying that not only is god a racist, but not a god of love as well?
if god created all of us from the dust why would he love one race more than another?
Don't believe all you read in the media and what you hear on radio/television.
Definitely not! Living in a fairly liberal city, and fairly liberal country, with a liberal press, I would be very anti-Israeli and anti-American if I believed all I read in the media or heard on tv!
where do i begin?
well let's see i'm 24yrs old and since i was 5 i've been taught ''the truth'' i remember going to the hall when i was a little girl with my grandmother i attended did the bible study and i learned a lot and i'm greatfull even though i'am no longer in the religion i grew up like everyone else saw and learned a lot of other things of this world none which have made me belive anything i have found myself asking lately what is happening with this world?
why doesn't doesn't jehovah do something and stop the pain for everyone?
... someone needs a few shots of tequila ... OR has had a few too many shots already!

Not to play devil's advocate, but it should be noted that while Isreal at least tries to avoid targeting civilians (and obviously they havn't been fully successful at this), Hisbollah purposely targets civilians...

Worldy Andre,
This type of thing must have been what you were referring to on your last thread: "Dear Jehovah, protect me from your witnesses..." LMAO...yes they can be downright dangerous!
It seems like that thread has been removed...I'm still curious what you were getting at with it though...

is there anyone out there who was in the 42nd class of gilead and has seen the light?
my name then was vivienne ainsworth.
i would dearly love to hear from anyone who remembers me.
After reading your previous post more carefully, it looks like you probably left Peru right around the time my mother was arriving...so you probably didn't know her :)

Hi Thaisun (and welcome sosad),
I will send you a PM. My mother (who has not spoken to me in over 2 years) went to Gilead in 1969/70, and served in Peru for about 4 years before coming back to Canada. Perhaps you knew her.
