u.s. life expectancy has risen to a new high, now standing at nearly 78 years, the government reported wednesday.
the increase is due mainly to falling death rates in almost all the leading causes of death.
the average life expectancy for babies born in 2007 is nearly three months greater than for children born in 2006.. .
....year; 1970: "we are truly in the last days of this system of things, the last minutes actually, no need for college....you wouldn't even finish before armageddon strikes"
...fast forward to year; 2009: "we are in the last days of this system of things....." S.O.S....... different day!

they only call when someone in the family dies or there is some other sort of "family emergency".. .
my father told me that he has been diagnosed with terminal mesothelioma.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/mesothelioma.
elsewhere,
i'm sorry to hear the news of your father. once he' s gone there will be no changing your actions in his last days. it is very hard for anyone who has been shunned by parents to move past those feelings of rejection due to ones religious beliefs or lack there of. however, if you can would it not be better to show him you are the bigger man by not returning the loveless jesture of cutting someone out of your life? would it not show him just how unloving, how unforgiving the 'society' expects them to be? if it is in your heart, if you are able to help him go out gracefully, knowing that you have forgiven him for past transgressions, his passing may be less painful for not only him, but perhaps for you too.
best to you....

some of you may know of a longstanding jw owned and operated forum named "touchstone forum" (www.touchstoneforum.net/cgi-bin/yabb2/yabb.pl).
wrench, the elder who ran the board, closed its doors rather quickly a couple of weeks ago, and has refused to discuss the reasons for the closure.
no announcement of closing.
from my brother who is still a active witness, even though he has been disfellowshipped/reinstated more than once, i was told someone had turned that site into the society. i believe he said for copyright infringement.....i believe they qouted the daily scripture from the wtbts....

reports have been heard that brother price has been getting his 10 hours of field circus in for awhile, allowing him to get the privilege to carry the mics at the kingdumb hall.
the 1st time he was handed the microphone (with the stick attached (we all know what ones i am talking about)) he started thrusting it in a very innapropiate way (pornia).
this caused the elders to end the meeting right there and form a judicial hearing.
.....what took them so long.....
