Yep LDH!
Both ears were there all the time - Both eyes were missing for all this time though.
Popped them back in recently. Found them rolling around somewhere ever so close.... Just like you did yours...

I'm keeping my DD going for another 3/4 months (till the memorial) in order to keep them off my back while not showing up in the KH - concluding fading.

"I have even heard 2 of the GB express the desire to be alive on earth..............."
Interesting comment Blondie.
Their heavenly hope can't stand the test of time either, I guess.
Aren't some people predispositioned or otherwise susceptible to religious delusions and experiences like a so called anointing though...?
And if so, would their mental capabilities not be seriously impaired ...?

Thanks hideme. Guess for you too the little house on the prairie didn't turn out to be the safe house you - judging by you previous posts - probably always thought it was. Are you by any chance hiding in my (former) cong..? (I'm afraid I can't reveal here where that one is though.) Call me Theo if you like. Veel sterkte.
You are getting me quite worried here now greendawn... You reckon the Bay of Pigs invasion had anything to do with us..? Now, since they failed, would that actually explain what happened on that fateful 40th birthday I still wasn't celebrating back then..? Go figure. I'll have to check my armpits tonight for the Mark of the Beast. Let me get my Daniel book out now... -

Any book can sell, provided it is well written and marketed. Rutherfraud was an extremely colorful and secretive character/protagonist, and as soon as the negative PR shit will hit the fan in Crooklyn sometime in the near future, your book will need to be ready and on sale. You will have to have written it by then in order to market it using the wave of publicity.
On some other thread here on JWD an interview between Dr. Jerry Bergman and a researcher was published. The researcher was writing a Phd or book on Haydon Covington. Bergman was treating Haydon Covington for depression, so knew him. HC must have known lots of secrets about The Judge he never disclosed after he was crucified by Knorr: he idolized the man and must have been like him a lot, at least in the liquor department. If a book on HC is viable, why shouldn’t one on JR be? Interestingly something was mentioned there about the Madison SG ruckus: According to HC, he hated Knorr for running from the fighting.
Many people like M. James Penton and Gruz must also have collected lots of stuff on The Judge. It's just a case of piecing it all together. Or someone might want to take it on as a Phd. -

Welcome to the board BB.
Many have compromised themselves and their consciences by hanging on after entering adulthood, They have become guilty by association, or even worse, true believers - like me - for one HALF of their lives. So I’m doomed to follow the course of peppermint to figure out where I went wrong – not only where my parents went wrong.
At least you had the character and guts (intelligence?) to take responsibility and make an unpopular decision.
(BTW, IMO, suicide does seem to be a JW trend.)

Hi Crumpet. Thanks for welcoming me.
Calling a lady crumpet without risking a slap in the face is new to me.
Always enjoy your posts, succinct indeed, though still colo(u)red with a cheerful touch of British warmth.

Thanks again for your welcome!
AlmostAtheist, Americans and American culture are just fine with me save the Neo-cons of Bush and the Theo-cons from Brooklyn (isn't there a similarity though..?).
Greendawn, you were born six weeks after me... Actually, I do not spareth the brush from hitting the canvas once in a while. I spent a couple of years in St. Albans, Hertfordshire.
Pretty misspeaches, judging (though beyond judging, I hope) by your avatar/pic you won't be sold on BS anymore for a long time to come.
You have quite correctly understood the rumors about the extraordinary beauty of my country - It cannot be emphasized too much, I'm afraid. Now, can I trade it for yours then..? Please..? I so much more enjoy the sun. I spent a couple of years in Adelaide by the way.
Stillajwexelder, when you visit this great country again, drop me a line.
Fullofdoubtnow, as far as life in general is concerned so am I... as far as bOrgylon is concerned, I passed beyond that stage in a surprisinly short time indeed.
Legolas, I guess you're a woman of few words and strong convictions. I tend to get a bit verbose at times. Please forgive me. -

Two weeks ago at the last meeting I ever went to, I spoke to one of the single-mother-silent obedient sisters from the "back-row" class. There were tears in her eyes as I tried to say some comforting words to her. She has been abused by her ex in many ways, and has only recently left him despite her fears to fall out of line for it. She is trying to work and care - while endangering her own life - for her knife-wielding adult schizophrenic son that she's afraid of having institutionalized because in that case he will no longer be under her parental care, and will therefore die in Armageddon - according to some elders. She lives with excruciating guilt and is afraid of displeasing Jehovah; blames herself for everything. Her yoke is not light. She applies the rigid theo-con rules to herself while the others just laugh when tactically and calculatingly rationalizing which rule to burden themselves with. How long will she last? My parents self-destructed in the late seventies. Tranquillizers, alcohol abuse, frequent institutionalization. Much shame. Much silence. By the time they died they hadn’t been able to look in the mirror for many years. First my mom - a pioneer for many years - committed suicide. Six months later my dad drank himself to death. He had been a prominent elder for many years. (I have posted about this earlier.) Ever since I have been wandering - things are finally starting to fall in place. I felt ashamed for all those years. I never realized it was a trend.
