Hi Crumpet
No, I don't have a worldly brother on here. And I don't have any spiritual brothers anywhere, afaik.
I've made a few friends here and there, though.
eh heh?
i know this is either going to be one of those topics where people consider it a popularity contest or something....i'm just being an imp and seeing if anyone will be forward enough to tell about the person that they would like to date.. me, i'm married so that leaves me out!
but i have seen a lot of beefcakes on here!

i have a female friend who i've been discussing the religion with.
she definitely has doubts about the org but isn't sure on leaving just yet as she has still got about 6 months to go being a minor dependent on the parents.
lately, she's been getting heavy pressure to start pioneering.
Tell people she's worried that she may have endometrosis. It would take way past her majority to diagnose properly, and if anyone really wants to know she can let her imagination run riot with 'female' symptoms. If her accounts are inconsistent she can put it down to embarrassment.

How do we swap MSN thingys?
it happened again.
i never thought it would.
my life got its sparkle back.
Thanks for the comments. They meant a lot. Spoke to a couple of people this evening (met through JWD). One is an established and dear friend, one for the first time (a lovely lady).
Already feeling better. Never doubt the power of JWD!

Well, I for one think this is wonderful.
I am already in phone contact with a wonderful lady here, and tonight I got to talk to another one! (Thanks for your comments, M-a-t!)
Keep it going!

RAISES HAND!
I just talked to an extremely nice lady. It wasn't a flirting type of conversation, just an interesting 'nice to get you know you' type of conversation. She has a lovely voice and sounds like a lovely lady. I'm glad to have made the contact.
she's still in a coma.
she's in cardiology icu.
the hospitalist was giving me and my family the run around, not there, not telling us much; so, i fired him.
I can only offer my best wishes and support. Good luck.
most people who are familiar with how the system works, know that most judges are masons.
that is how you get to the next level, by being initiated into the 32 or 33rd degree of freemasonry.
were the masonic judges dealing with lawrence hughes attempt to sue the watchtower acting in accordance with masonic law to protect the best interest of the brotherhood?
Having had quite a lot of dealings with judges, and with masons, and having been in a position to investigate these things (although only in the UK) I can only suggest an answer from my own experience.
My answer is 'No, probably (or even almost certainly) not'.

I apologise for posting this. It seems (now the tears have stopped) to have been incredibly self-indulgent.
I don't even really have the right to post on this board, let alone post this sort of stuff. I'm not, never have been, etc., nor have I suferred through it. Just an interested outsider, is all. But it says a lot for the folks here that when in a low moment I needed to share something, you were the people I thought of.
Normal service (tough macho ex cop) will be resumed as soon as possible.
And thanks for your comments.

It happened again
I never thought it would
My life got its sparkle back
It never felt so good.
I'd built up the walls
Thick and strong and high
I'd put on the armour
I knew I could get by.
But she got through with just a look
A few words and a smile
My heart was melted, open wide
I relaxed for a while.
The joy of love came flooding in
Old feelings came alive
I knew that I could live again
More than just survive.
But Fate is a twisted bitch
And knows just when to bite -
When things are going pretty well
When things are going right.
My lady has to go away
Time to close our hearts
Not my doing and not hers
Life forces us apart.
We come from different worlds
One day we'll meet again?
I don't know, can only hope
She'll be free to love me then.
'My head is bloody but unbowed'
Someone better than me said
My heart is broken, full of pain
So I'll hold up my head.
I'll smile and you won't see the hurt
That cuts me deep inside
I'm just a few more specks of dust
On the endless cosmic ride.
