I know the feeling. :-) Mark is the only one I knew. He was in IT and used to work for the phone company if I recall. Anyway, I'd like to help you, but I never really got involved with the Salem/Melbourne/Thayer bunch. The ones I know are from Harrison.
Incidentally, I almost went to Lyon college in Batesville when I transferred, but got a scholarship I couldn't pass up in Conway.
Anyway, good luck in your search.
No problems with Zaba here.
I went to Ozarka College in Melbourne AR with a Mark Blankenship. (Thayer is about 45 minutes from Melbourne. Any relation?
On the black album he wrote 'the god that failed' which was about his experiences surrounding his mothers death and his anger towards god.
Here's that one.
Pride you took
Pride you feel
Pride that you felt when you’d kneel
Not the word
Not the love
Not what you thought from above
It feeds
It grows
It clouds all that you will know
Deceit
Deceive
Decide just what you believe
I see faith in your eyes
Never your hear the discouraging lies
I hear faith in your cries
Broken is the promise, betrayal
The healing hand held back by the deepened nail
Follow the God that failed
Find your peace
Find your say
Find the smooth road in your way
Trust you gave
A child to save
Left you cold and him in grave
It feeds
It grows
It clouds all that you will know
Deceit
Deceive
Decide just what you believe
I see faith in your eyes
Never you hear the discouraging lies
I hear faith in your cries
Broken is the promise, betrayal
The healing hand held back by the deepened nail
Follow the God that failed
I see faith in your eyes
Broken is the promise, betrayal
The healing hand held back by the deepened nail
Follow the God that failed
Pride you took
Pride you feel
Pride that you felt when you’d kneel
Trust you gave
A child to save
Left you cold and him in grave
I see faith in your eyes
Never you hear the discouraging lies
I hear faith in your cries
Broken is the promise, betrayal
The healing hand held back by deepened nail
Follow the God that failed
One of my favorites by Metallica is "The Cure."
all jokes and any humor here for our brooke who needs cheering up today .
come on you all cut lose and lets get her laughing .
let me add,,,, and to all that need a little pick-up today.
i ran across this today and got a good laugh out of it.
:) the following is jeff foxworthy's "you might be a jehovah's witness if...".
if "pioneer" is not a stereo, "new light" is not something in the house wares department and "tract" has nothing to do with land or farming.. .
I can't believe any of you would believe this came from Foxworthy. The only people the majority of these jokes will make sense to is ex witnesses. Gawlee Mrs. Cleaver.
"How many times can a person truly fall in love in a lifetime?" The answer is contingent upon your definition of love. You use the phrase ?truly fall in love,? so I?ll assume you?re speaking of romantic love.
Just what is romantic love? Many I?ve known equate sex with love?at least verbally?although few are so blatant as to call sex ?true love.? However, I think every human has an idealized picture of love in his or her heart, one that men are reticent to discuss and women are hasty to dream about.
What is this idyllic love? The lover in all of us has visions of a partner who knows us better than anyone else, knows our accomplishments and achievements and our failures, appreciates our strengths and accepts our weaknesses, and shares many of our interests and pleasures. This person shares the innermost nuances, fears and thoughts that are never uttered to anyone else, knowing that we?ll do the same. This lover doesn?t try to repair all the problems we have, but always listens and supports. This is the love we all secretly yearn for, and our hearts tell us that this is the only ?true love.?
So, I ask, not how many times a person can fall truly in love, but how many people can fall truly in love even one time? After all, no one I know lives in the movies. How many truly have one person they share their desires and quirks and iniquities and aspirations, and this person alone?
Few. One of my favorite quotes is "One friend in a lifetime is much; two are many; three are hardly possible? Henry Adams. A true lover is even more sporadic, because a true lover must be more than a true friend.
Where does this leave us? Our hearts desire the pinnacle of human relationships, our minds desire security, our abilities most often counter both. We?re left with the cold, hard realization that true love, if we?re thinking much about it, has already become unobtainable. After all, a mind preoccupied will always skew the course, and romance defeats itself when consciously considered. No, we have crossed the line into infatuation, a false true love which afflicts nearly everyone. With infatuation, we lose our self-respect, our honor, our reason, our goals, our life in general. True love will never inter the same emotions that build it, for such interment is inevitable death and suffocation for our mind and spirit. True love is not cognizant of true love, for happiness does not contemplate happiness; neither is it privy to sorrow. Rather, sorrow dreams of happiness, murdering happiness, becoming immortal when we grant free reign to our sorrow.
Even still, the hopeless romantic in all of us dreams of our true love, feeling a soft pulse in harmony with our own in the clutched hands of true friendship. Our mental scrutiny sentences our romances to death, but the full moon on a summer?s eve with soft zephyrs caressing the damp mosses and whispering our souls into oblivion will always call our name.
Be thankful if you have truly loved once.
besides my desire to hit 700 posts before noon (est) and a general base appeal for validation and attention (heee, hee), i would like to vent about something that just happened.. i was at an intersection with another vehicle.
he was in the left turn only lane (conveniently located on the left); i was in the lane very clearly marked as left or right turn only (conveniently located to the right of the other driver)...meaning i have the option of turning right or left, right?
so the light turns green and we both turn left.
Getting pissed off is a hallmark of bad drivers.
on a few threads now we have had the discussion of how to take out a local kh.. http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/90925/1.ashx.
http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/90940/1.ashx.
the consensus seemed to be that it would require a two pronged approach.. 1. help the newly df, da through loving support and association so they don't go back.. 2. help the new bible studies and return visits with a good inocculation from the "jw are god's org" disease.. let's not talk about how to do that just yet.
My opinion is that oposition only strenthens the congregation. Afterall, if they're persecuted "in God's name," they're right(Isn't that the way they'll view it?). I think actively trying to harm the organization would not be effective. If they discover that no one gives a rat's tu tu what they do, they will slack off naturally.
