  i'm just going to start at the beginning.. i was anticipating the memorial all day.

  i was nervous but excited, kind of like standing in line for a roller coaster.. ok. so erika gets ready at her house, and i get ready at mine.

  i'm wearing a black suit with a light green shirt, and a tie that had hues of green and yellow in it.

  Great post, Richie. You really should write a book someday. I am sure it was good for you to go and show the "friends" that you are making it on the "outside". You are supporting yourself and have a lovely lady on your arm. Hang in there and all the best to you and Erica. Love Arwen

  Songs that make you cry...

  by El Kabong in

  2. friends

  i've been kind of sad the past few days for several reasons, but, there are certain songs that just cause the tears to flow whenever i hear them (and especially alone).

  only time by enya.

  i know that this song is often linked to the sept 11 attacks, but it really is just so hauntingly beautiful.

  BREAKING NEWS: 16:.02: FOSTER MOTHER GUILTY OF ABUSE

  date : 20.03.07. foster mother eunice spry has been found guilty of subjecting children in her care to two decades of horrific abuse.. the 62-year-old, from tewkesbury, beat them, fed them rat droppings, stopped them sleeping and rubbed their faces with sandpaper.

  she thrust sticks down their throats when they misbehaved and made them eat dog food.. one daughter was forced to use a wheelchair for four years even though she was perfectly able to walk.. doctors, teachers and neighbours raised constant concerns about spry's treatment of the children but nothing was ever done by social services.. the catalogue of abuse only came to light when one of the children went to the jehovah's witness elders at the church the family attended.. spry, from tewkesbury, was found guilty of 26 charges of cruelty after a three week trial at bristol crown court.

  This woman makes me sick! I sent a email to the newspaper. If she was attending meetings I am quite sure others would notice the abuse that was being done to the children. When I was in the cult I saw some things but not to that extent. I would give the mother or father some "looks" if I saw them being a little too harsh with the children. If I had ever seen this I would have gone to the police. I feel so bad for those children. They will never recover. Everyone should send an email.

  what's your sign baby? ;)

  where we live is a very *new agey*, *earthy* area.

  when i was a witness i never thought twice about my astrological sign or how it relates to anyone else.

  here, people are always asking what my sign is and i've really been entertained by how i see patterns with people in my life and how i've noticed i'm actually attracted to certain *signs* .

  I am a Gemini and I really show all the traits...good and bad! I usually start a conversation with,"Let me introduce myselves!".....Seriously, I am always fighting with myself about things. My best friend, Meljohn is also a Gemini and we are so much alike it is not even funny. My husband is a Sagittarius, his birthday is exactly six months to the day later than mine and we are a very good match. I would never ever read anything to do with astrology as a JW but now I realize that it is harmless fun. I have had my palm read a few times but I am still waiting for most of the things to happen!!!

  i was looking up my old hard copies that i printed out through the years from jwd, and came across this powerful post by "outaservice".. it is an open letter written by a "gaila noble" from arizona.

  it was posted on january 30, 2002 by outaservice, and he gave me permission to copy/paste it into a new thread, for the benefit of all the newbies and others who have never seen it.

  thanks, outa.. hope this works.. you may not remember, but i know you very well.

  JWD outage -- what if it were longer or worse, permanent?

  jwd to me, and for some like me, is my morning coffee.

  if its not up, like earlier today, it gets me to thinking, what if this were a permanent thing?

  what if jwd were actually shut down like our friend quotes site in 2006?
