Sounds pretty good Hoggieman.
Discouragement and weakness is a fact of life for them but apostasy becomes a mission. Better to let it die down now before it snowballs and you're in a spot you don't want to be.

I'd try to defuse the situation quickly myself.
Get 'super spiritual'. Say you were having a bad day, had a few drinks maybe, and felt like King David when he was discouraged and tired and said yada yada yada... but the Watchtower of ??? about discouragement 2 years ago really helped you refocus and you feel much better now. You feel like so many of Jah's servants in the past that suffered from momentary doubts and fatigue but he's helped you shake it off!
Smooth things out, put people's minds at ease, then just start your slow fade after the heat's off.
But that's just me.

Is There Any TV Show That You Wished Was Still On?
by minimus ini know a lot of people were upset when mash ended.
i never was a big fan of the show, probably because it was on a meeting night, but it was a very popular show.. i loved hill street blues, taxi, all in the family, the rifleman, even superman!
i wished those shows never stopped!.

Dumbest Awake Title Ever?
by metatron ini hold in my hand the nov. awake magazine entitled "technology - blessing or curse?"..
now, i understand the need for balance and moderation in using technology, as the magazine says - but could they come up with a more intelligent sounding title?
it makes the question sound as if abandoning technology might be a solution, a considered choice, a real possibility.

Hot Dogs: Are they for True Christians?
The Hot Dog
By Charles Panati
Excerpted from "Extraordinary Origins of Everyday Things
The history of the hot dog begins 3,500 years ago with the Babylonians, who stuffed animal intestines with spiced meats. Several civilizations adopted, modified, or independently created the dish; the Greeks called it orya, the Romans, salsus, the origin of our word "sausage".
The decline of the sausage preceded that of the Roman Empire. According the the oldest known Roman cookbook, written in AD 228, sausage was a favorite dish at the annual pagan festival Lupercalia, held February 15 in honor of the pastoral god Lupercus. The celebration included sexual initiation rites, and some writers have suggested that sausage served as more than just a food.
The early Catholic Church is known to have outlawed the Lupercalia a made eating sausage a sin. And when Constanine the Great, the 4th century emperor of Rome, embraced Christianity, he too, banned sausage consumption. As would happen in the twentieth century with liquor prohibition, the Roman populace indulged
in "bootlegged" sausage to such an extent that officials, conceding the ban was unenforceable, eventually repealed it. -
