  The great poet Maya Angelou passes

  by designs in

  her life embodied how the human spirit can rise from crushing conditions to mentor, role model and teacher.. she went mute for 5 years after being raped at the age of 9. in that time she found her inner spirit to write and speak for others.. her life course went from working in brothels to teaching in universites.

  from broken home to addressing the nation at william clinton's inaugeration.. her poems touched millions of lives.

  i know why the caged bird sings; on the pulse of morning; a brave and startling truth:.

  Someone decided she was a genius poet. The herd followed.

  Pretentious drivel.

  Final post I can't come to this forum anymore!

  i have come to the conclusion that posting here and visiting this site is not healthy for me anymore.

  i just get angry and upset when i read all the stories of injustice and corruption that go on in the jehovahs witness religion.

  they are true no doubt, as i have personally experienced many injustices and abuses in my life from being a witness.

  People rescued from drowning don't have to become lifeguards. Just so you avoid treacherous water in the future.

  Doesn't hurt to improve your swimming skills, though, in the event you come across someone in distress.

  Best wishes

  What On Earth Makes The Watchtower Organization Think That Inactive Ones a Would Ever Want To Go Back To The Vomit?

  do they actually believe that if they tell you that you are "missed", that you will desire to return to the sheepfold?

  I think the answer is obvious.. relationships with others is the draw. And if you have not left yet, they are the glue.

  Why? DF'ing is the secret weapon of the cult.

  im in a bit of a bind and im not quite sure what (if anything) i can do about it.

  i was recently hired as a business consultant for a rather large company.

  the company that hired me mentioned that they are concerned about a certain department and the way its being run, as this department affects every other department in the company.

  Do know If he has tried to do any incidental witnessing to his staff? That would be a big no no.

  Japanese Tea Ceremony

  by jgnat in

  when pushed in a discussion this spring, about what i believe now, i likened spirituality to a japanese tea ceremony.

  i believe a good part of our experience and knowing comes from a vast well of the inexpressible.

  try and explain it with words is just not the same.

  Is it anything like the tequila shot, lime and salt on the fist ceremony? I have been to those and found them very soothing.

  Embarrassed by Aggressive Apostates

  xjw protests & videos.

  .. i am disturbed by some of the more aggressive apostates posting videos on youtube,like "a jw memorial to remember" where a drunk man goes to a memorial and downs the whole glass of wine as a sort of protest.

  this video and others like it received positive comments from aawa members.

  Two ends of the spectrum, Ray Franz-------Danny Hazzard. There is no doubt in my mind which one was more effective.

  We used to keep gardenburgers on hand in the freezer for a long time. Then we noticed that we had stopped eating them. Boring. Now we are seeing a lot of new products, sausage, etc on the shelves and are thinking of trying some. The doctors are always harping on cutting back on red meat but we eat more chicken than anything and have fish often. When we eat red meat it is steak, roast or lamb chops. There is no tvp that can match the flavor.

  I love edemame but they make me fart like a mule.
