I've been watching the Kings and Ducks (I live in Anaheim, CA). Kings started strong but lost. Ducks were behind but won. I had to make a service call to Compaq. The guy I spoke with was in Ontario and was following hockey on his computer. I'm mostly a Kings fan unless they are playing Montreal then I have to side with Montreal.

Cemetry Gates by the Smiths would be good if your the sentimental type but if you want a party atmosphere Dead Man's Party by Oingo Boingo would be good.
But if you really want to bring out the tears this is the ultimate: Adagio in G Minor for Organ Solo Violin and Strings by Tomaso Albinoni. As for me I don't plan on worrying about it for a while.

The story of my life (part 5- Bethel, the first shock)
by onacruse inabout 2 months after i arrived at bethel (late spring), i took my place at the breakfast table...awakened, as usual, by the 6 a.m. bell, a quick shower, and arriving with great anticipation for the 7 a.m. daily comments, with a few words from the "head of the table" (usually knorr, but they had recently started a weekly "cycling" of governing body members; part of the impending organizational elders restructuring).
the norm was to start eating at 7:30 a.m. (read "scoop the bowl and wolf it down"), and on the clock by 8 a.m.. but, on this day, something completely beyond my anticipation.
knorr starts off by saying that we should be prepared to sit for a while, as he proceeds, for 3 hours, to outline how a homosexuality "ring" has been operating at bethel for some time, including some gileadites.

Did the JW religion add stress to your life?
by JH ini was very stressed when i was an active jw.
i hated going to meetings, knocking at doors, preparing meetings and so on.. i hated talking in front of a group.
there was too much to read and to prepare, and never felt like i was good enough.. last night i took a walk and passed in front of the book study where i was just a few months ago.

Yes, that is why I left. Fortunately I was able to leave before I started drawing parallel between sticking animals and those in the KH.

The story of my life (part 4- Bethel, the setting)
by onacruse inso, that spring night (i'm pretty sure it was 1971--memory fades a bit) i'm laying on an army cot in temporary housing, staring at the ceiling--my first night at bethel, and the beginning of the rest of my life as a bethelite (or so i had always thought).
true enough, i'd signed a solemn oath before jehovah, and submitted it to the governing body, that i would stay at bethel for at least 4 years (that was the way they did it then)...but the real expectation (and knorr made no bones about this in his public admonitions to bethelites) was that you were there for life--fine by me.. what more could i ask?
i was in the "control center" of the organization, surrounded by dozens and dozens and dozens of the anointed, and walking past members of the governing body every day...i could just feel their presence as they approached; it was almost palpable, as the holy spirit oozed from them.

From Jw to born again .................
by vitty inwhen i was "in" the borg ( i love that word) i really , really believed that when ppl left it, they became like the undead.
with no direction in life and no religion, i felt sorry for them.. i never thought that they became ............born again or heaven forbid catholic !!!!!!.
when i first started looking at sites on the internet i came across www.jwinfoline.com what an eye opener !

Here is my take on it. I think some people get so burned out by the Watchtower that they stop believing in God. Others are able to maintain a belief in God separate from the Watchtower. I think attacking people on their belief or lack of belief in God is stupid because no on can really prove or disprove the existence of God. As for the term born again I have never really got what fundies mean by it either. This even though I sometime go to fundamentalist churches. I hear people say "I'm a born again Christian". As apposed to what a Christian or and unborn again Christian? Jesus said you must be born again so I would think that all Christians are born again. It has always seemed a bit redundant to use the term born again Christian. Kind of like saying I had chicken bird for dinner last night. Ok I know people say tuna fish sandwich but that is also redundant.
