  ok folks, it's that time of year.

  school's out, the kids are running around (well actually staring at the video screen), the days are longer and the night are cool.

  with the lazy hot days of summer ahead what's on your reading list?.

  Quentin,, that is good to read! It's disappointing to me that so many young people no longer read books .. good to hear that some kids are still reading the classic adventure novels. And Jack London! What great stories for kids to learn from. :))....talesin.

  No doubt about it. Classics are great for kids, gives them a window on how people thought, acted and the cast system of that day and time.

  kurtbethel, read ever Norton book I could get my hands on, until she turned to fantasy writing. Couldn't get into those novels. Have read every Heinlein book and short stories, except Stranger in a Stranger Land, with that book Heinlein began to get strange with his stories. It would be nice to see the right production company work up movies from his writing. Burroughs John Carter was a log floater.

  hello old friends, i've been thinking about going back and need you all to give me your thoughts on it.. the last year has been a horribe one for me, in the span of less than a year the following things have happened to me:.

  lost my mom to cancergot hit by a carhad a professional set back that will cost over 600k to resolveended a three and a half year relationshipit just feels like every time i think things are going to get better something else hits me and knocks me down, a small part of me wonders wether i brought all these things on myself because i left the organization (yes i know how silly that sounds) and i have given serious thought about going back.

  i need you guys to talk me out of it!.

  "Sometimes you're the winsdhield, sometimes you're the bug"....Cofty

  Lola, you have been given good insightfull advice by other posters. Cofty's comment sums it up nicely. Remember, whatever you decide YOU WILLNOT BE ABANDONED BY THOSE ON THIS BOARD. Lost my mother to cancer twenty years ago, my father to a heart condition. I miss them very much.

  I left the wtbts cult in 1974. Having been a jw for over twenty years did not prepare me for life outside the religon. I learned along the way. Hopefuly you will make a logical decsion, not one based on emotion.

  Several weeks ago my nine year old grand-son finished reading Jack London's WHITE FANG. He got his Dad to get London's CALL OF THE WILD.

  It is refreshing to see children read. He can tell you every twist and turn of the plot.

  is any of this true?

  historian, historian, david icke states, "...it was the rothschilds who funded the jehovah's witness operation into being, along with other illuminati bankerz (ie, kuhn, loeb, and co.), through "contributionz" by organizationz like the rothschild-controlled b'nai b'rith.

  this was proved in a court of law in 1922. one of the key people involved in this was frank goldman who later became president of b'nai b'rith.

  ...not character observations/assasinations... ( MB )

  Well, I see you continue to assum that my comment, which was a general observation, was amied at you and your character. Sigh, not at all, not at all. There is some very fine information being dispensed, hopefuly MB you will come to your own conclusion and be satisfied. I wish you well.

  PILLARS OF THE EARTH is a great read. So many great books, so little time.....

  ...smug air...?

  Realy MB? I'm sure your a nice guy as well. I left the cult in 1974, after being deluged from the age of three in the wt conspiracy system...I did not call you out personly, I stated my personel observation in reply to Old Goat's comment. After all the other comments made, mine is the only one that was smug. Thanks for the attention. By the way I'm a Freemason, twenty-five years plus. That I can be smug about.
