It reminds me of an old movie I saw about this hustler who would go from town to town in the 30's,
he would buy a paper and after a checking the death notices turn up at widows/widowers doors to sell them a bible.
"Paper Moon"
i thought it was a genuinely old silent movie.
it was prepared for the delegates of the international conventions.
a young man in a sound car goes to different homes in the neighborhood, and comes upon a bereaved husband with two young daughters.

What Lois said.
This film is a shameful manipulation of sincere people's emotions - just as the real events were 70 years ago.
don't know quite what to say.
just stunned at the news.
comic genius and actor.. share your favorite robin williams moments.. .
Yes, my mouth dropped open when I heard the news this afternoon and it took ten minutes for it to close.
So successful, talented, beloved. He must have been in terrible pain to choose this way out.

Gaaahhhhh!
SafeAtHome -
Also reading the Louise Penny series - currently A Rule Against Murder. Trying to read them in order - this is, I think, my fifth.
i know this has been talked about in the past but im new here..
Sure. But the price is way, way, way too high.
i won't be lengthy on this.
i have been in the org for about 20yrs.
now & woke up about 2yrs ago.
NMH - I truly love people like you!
You are brave,
you are courageous,
you are smart,
you are determined.
You will prevail and you will win in the end.
ok, i'll admit it...i am weak.... as everyone knows, the pressure to "pioneer" during "the most momentous, awesome, amazing, centenary anniversay of jesus invisble kigdom rule, & distribute tracts about a dodgy website" campaign is very strong at the moment.... also, many will have read my threads about the extreme views and expectations in our cong for "all appointed men to pioneer" etc..... every elder and ms and their families have been announced as pioneering....i mean everyone's name was read out except mine..... i was not going to do it, as i do not believe anyone should be forced...(and of course its the last thing on earth i would rather do anyway since learning ttatt).
but i am not quite ready to make the break yet, so i realised that i would stand out more if i didnt put in a form to pioneer.
yes it would make me more conspicious, and make fading harder to do...it would bring more heat on me if i didnt pioneer.. so i gave in and submitted a form.... now, of course, i'm only going to make sure i'm seen at the key field service groups etc...but then go and do something more interesting...like count blades of grass..... ahh....i feel hypocritical to myself now......
Anyway, think of it as a game.
I faded successfully over 40 years ago by making a conscious decision to beat them at their own "game." Their "game" was immoral, coercive, and evil. I felt no guilt in saying whatever I had to in order to combat their immoral purposes.
Turn in "time" according to what they want to see.
Then plan your exit, even if it takes you ten years.
this is not meant to be a slag off the bible thread.. i had a question asked me the other day and it was: 'do you live by anything from the bible?'.
i had to think about that one because i was force grown in the filthy, disgusting cult of the paedophile loving watchtower(r).. you know what?
i really don't know if i just naturally am a great bloke or if any 'nice' bits in the bible influenced me......or has western culture been influenced by the bible for good and bad?.
Did the God of the Bible live by the Bible?
obama calls for collectivized new world order"people are anxious.... the old order isnt holding"during a fundraiser in seattle this week, president barack obama called for a new order based around a collectivized system in order to quell peoples concerns about geopolitical strife and the economy.. people are anxious.
now, some of that has to do with some big challenges overseas, said obama, adding, but whether people see whats happening in ukraine, and russias aggression towards its neighbors in the manner in which its financing and arming separatists; to whats happened in syria ... to the failure in iraq for sunni and shia and kurd to compromise ... to whats happening in israel and gaza..... part of peoples concern is just the sense that around the world the old order isnt holding and were not quite yet to where we need to be in terms of a new order thats based on a different set of principles, thats based on a sense of common humanity, thats based on economies that work for all people.
... but here in the united states, what people are also concerned about is the fact that although the economy has done well in the aggregate, for the average person it feels as if incomes, wages just havent gone up; that people, no matter how hard they work, they feel stuck.. .

I did not see the word "collectivised" in Obama's speech,
That's because Obama never used the word.
It came from the King of the Tinfoil Hatters, Alex Jones:
