I'm thinking that the way this is shaping up,we should probably try to find something on the strip.There will be lots of us,and chances are that most everybody will want to spend some time there.We should check some prices,anyway.If it's too expensive we can look at something else,but since most will be flying in,a central location will be worth something to us,I think.

WHO SURVIVED...."75"..?

by OUTLAW in

who survived..."1975"...,i`m just curious,how many of us,are there?those of us that lived though this,will know what i mean.

I was nine at the time.Our congregation was also very sure it was the end,and I too had nightmares for a long time after that.Young as I was,I can remember thinking then that I really didn't want to be a part of this...That feeling never went away.

I'm Screwed Up, You're Screwed Up

i have not followed very many threads of late, so if someone has already made the same observations i'm about to make, i apologize for my redundancy.. .

i admit it: i'm part of a highly secretive, highly elite group.

OK,I'm going to attempt to respond to Farkel's original post.

Farkel,excellent post.You've stated the things I've been thinking for some time now.

When I first came to this board,I was impressed with the debates.Many intellegent and well-spoken posters made it very interesting and educational.But,either it's gotten worse in the short time I've been here,or I just didn't see it in the beginning.

Too many times,things turn ugly,more often than not simply due to anomosities between posters.Everything seems to have become personal,with debate turning into petty and vindictive sniping,often outright cruelty.

Some people here aren't nearly as strong as others.They may have come here for support,but when they ask for it,someone almost always responds with sarcasm,doubt or more cruelty.Sometimes even the strong ones need a little support.

Worse yet,the cruelty extends beyond the forum,into the chatroom,and on into personal e-mails (sometimes sent anonymously),even further into personal lives.Why do some people feel the need to do this?

Farkel,I for one appreciate your call for a little more compassion.It's the very least we can do.

'Nuff Said,

ANTHEM

by nicolaou in

jw
friends

shouldn't all of us ex-dubs, lurkers and nominal jw's have an anthem?.

a few suggestions for starters:.

i will survive.

Cowboy

How about this one from Creed?

Wrong Way

What makes you touch?
What makes you feel?
What makes you stop and smell the roses in an open field?
What makes you unclean?

Yeah.yeah

What makes you laugh?
What makes you cry?
What makes our youth run from the thought that it might die?
What makes you bleed?

Somebody told me the wrong way

What if I died?
What did I give?
I hope it was an answer so you might live
I hope I helped you live
I hope I helped you live
