Anywho, I was just reading kerj2leev, can $25 dollars make a difference, and it hit me! I gotta post on JWD about WATER.

Of course, most of us know that so many people in poor countries don't have access to clean water. It affects their whole lives. The villages that do get a clean fresh and steady supply of water start having a mini-economic boom. Their children aren't dying from parasites from filthy contaminated water. They are not walking miles to a mudbath and scooping up fifty pounds of water to place on their heads for the treck back. They are actually able to spend their time in more profitable ways, and not get sick.

So, as we know, there are people who will go out there on the ground if they have the funds. Water for those who don't have it has been on my mind and heart for awhile, I just don't ALONE have the funds to say, donate enough to have a well drilled.

BUT, wouldn't it be AWESOME if we had some sort of JWD fundraiser, where there was a third party account or something (I don't know how to fundraise, if you need a permit or whatever) where we could raise enough money for a WELL that would known as the JWD well or something?

If that's not possible I do know of organizations that do go in there and they can have you specifically donate money for a well. Like Oxfam.com. What can we do? Would you all like to raise some money for a well? Unfortunately I don't have thin mints, but I make really good snickerdoodles if anybody wants cookies.

Thanks for reading this, and thank you if you are at all interested!

Gratefully,

Ahhh, brilliant kerj2leev, it's so cool to know that people like you get involved when they have a way to make a difference!

btw, would you be willing to share what mini business ventures you're sponsoring and where?? I'd be interested! Have you gotten to e-mail them direct?

I have to set up a paypal account one of these days so I can do the online donations!!

btw, if you haven't heard of it, Oxfam,,,www.oxfam.com, do sort of similar helping people help themselves!

Why the Watchtower is NOT Christian

I hope this might have helped some peeps in the distinguishing characteristics, in matters of theology. Theology is interesting I think if you're a believer or not. Maybe it's just me, I'm really interested in theology, then again, I'm really interested in the lives of celebrities I don't really know. And how to make sauces and bake really good pies. I'm just very deep that way you know.

nvrgnback, in 7 days managed to overtake my nearly 12 month post #!!!
However, doubtless he has not managed to post as innanely as I am pleased with myself to do. It is a skill, a tight grasp on the trivial that I maintain with as little class and dignity as I can unwillingly muster. Plus, I wear really tacky hot pants when I'm posting inconsequential drivel. Mind you, I've got a really busy life doing Versace ads and getting paid to show up at Pure Nightclub, on top of maintaining my beach front villa in Italy...its difficult when you're so vital to fashion and... Johnny Depp to carve out time.

Strange Talks part 2

i`m not new here, ive been cruising for a few months now, i`m about to send in a letter to da myself.

6 months ago, that would have been a scary prospect, but reading this site on a regular basis has given me the courage to pull my plug.

i`d go quietly, but i want to muck up the numbers lol.... anyway on the subject of strange talks, i`ll never forget when i was a ms, and me and another ms had a "bet" the plan was to see who could get in as many song titles into their 15 min item, or even better a service meeting item...i`m proud to say i got 7 smiths song titles in and later went on to record 12 elvis titles in a service meeting item.

Struggled getting "Heaven knows I`m miserable now" in though LOL."

Giving talks at a kingdom hall? What could be more appropriate!

That's a fantastic song actually to describe the life of a dub, with a little change here and there

"I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
but heaven knows I'm miserable now
Someone knocked upon my door, and now I wear a suit
and heaven knows I'm miserable now

In my life
why do I give valuable time
to people (in Brooklyn) who don't care if I live or die

Two decades in hell pass me by
and heaven knows I'm miserable now
I was looking for a lie, and then I found a lie
and heaven knows I'm miserable now

In my life
why do I give valuable time
to people who don't care if I live or die

Armageddon's near, at the end of the day
better study the Watchtower
"You've been a pagan too long" she said
and I naturally fled

In my life
why do I smile
at people who I'd much rather kick in the eye

I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
but heaven knows I'm miserable now
"See the WT's true history?" she said
and I naturally fled

In my life
why do I count my time
for people who don't care if I live or die"

"Liar" written by the Watchtower, er, I mean, Henry Rollins

in darkness
and seclusion
yeah I know
you've been out there
tried to mix with those animals
and it just left you full of humiliated confusion
so you stagger back home
and wait for nothing
but the solitary refinement of your room spits you back out onto the street
and now you're desperate
and in need of human contact
and then
you meet me
and you whole world changes
because everything I say is everything you've ever wanted to hear
so you drop all your defenses and you drop all your fears
and you trust me completely
I'm perfect
in every way
cause I make you feel so strong and so powerful inside
you feel so lucky
but your ego obscures reality
and you never bother to wonder why
things are going so well
you wanna know why?
cause I'm a liar
yeah I'm a liar
I'll tear your mind out
I'll burn your soul
I'll turn you into me
I'll turn you into me
cause I'm a liar, a liar
a liar, a liar

I'll hide behind a smile
and understanding eyes
and I'll tell you things that you already know
so you can say
I really identify with you, so much
and all the time that you're needing me
is just the time that I'm bleeding you
don't you get it yet?
I'll come to you like an affliction
and I'll leave you like an addiction
you'll never forget me
you wanna know why?
cause I'm a liar
yeah I'm a liar
I'll rip your mind out
I'll burn your soul
I'll turn you into me
I'll turn you into me
cause I'm a liar, a liar
liar, liar, liar, liar

I don't know why I feel the need to lie
and cause you so much pain
maybe it's something inside
maybe it's something I can't explain
cause all I do
is mess you up and lie to you
I'm a liar
oh, I am a liar

if you'll give me one more chance
I swear that I will never lie to you again
because now I see the destructive power of a lie
they're stronger than truth
I can't believe I ever hurt you
I swear
I will never to you lie again, please
just give me one more chance
I will never lie to you again
I swear
that I will never tell a lie
I will never tell a lie
no, no
ha ha ha ha ha hah haa haa haa haaa
sucker
sucker!
oh, sucker
I am a liar
yeah, I am a liar
yeah I like it
I feel good
ohh I am a liar
yeah
I lie
I lie
I lie
oh, I lie
oh I lie
I lie
yeah
ohhh I'm a liar
I lie
yeah
I like it
I feel good
I'll lie again
and again
I'll lie again and again
and I'll keep lying
I promise

METH. It is every where and like a plague

recently a woman i worked with for three years, passed out at work.

she has three kids and is very nice.

i did not do things with her away from work, but talk to her every day.

It is everywhere. It is possibly the worst drug out there, mostly due to the fact that its cheap, and you don't have to grow it you cook it. I thought you might be from Oregon when I read 'Meth' because that is the state where the epidemic really took root. I live in the NW too, and it is just appalling the statistics of Meth, especially on the West Coast of the U.S. For those of you in a different country, meth uses psuedoephedrine, the ingredient common in most cold medications, mixes it with a bunch of toxic chemicals, and you can smoke it, pop a pill, not sure if you can shoot up though.

Another thing you might not know if you live in another country, is that meth accounts for 70-90% of other crimes in some areas..like theft, robbery, even rape and murder. It's famous for making you age about 40 years after doping for awhile. Scratching your face, picking at yourself, losing teeth etc etc.

Meth addicts kids also account for (esp. in the NW) a LARGE percentage of the foster kids in the system as well. It is the most innocent who always lose the most with this drug.

I saw a story where these meth addicts taught their 9 yr. old how to cook meth (which is very dangerous as the meth can explode if it isn't cooked right...all those chemicals)....so they'd have her cooking the meth. They were also meth fuelled sex maniacs, and she told the counsellors that they constantly had pornography on the living room telly, would openly have intercourse, and the little girl was sexually abused as well.

It is a very very evil drug, extremely addictive and cheap.

WHAT "WERE" YOU IN HIGH SCHOOL? AND DID YOU GO ON TO HIGHER EDUCATION?

by juni in

jw
friends

just a fluffy question ~~~.

were you a freak?

jock?

smellsgood

I was giggly and skinny. Actually, I've always been giggly, found pretty much everything funny growing up. Really good home environment, though now the parents are separated and well, fight alot. I tried to play soccer in my sophomore year, having never played it before. I got put on the wing position where you run up and down the field...and at that time I would get to math class and lay down on the floor because I was so exhausted and didn't know why. I would even lay down under racks of clothes in Department stores. Found out later that I was so tired because I had Epstein Barr virus (MONO) and, er, I like to blame my shoddy soccer career on that! I liked History and photography and drama. Of course, I'm only 23 now. A series of events led me to drop out (shoot!) and get the GED. But, I will be pursuing higher education, and am verrrry happy that I didn't fall in luuurve with a local dude and get preggers before I was 20 like too many of the girls I know.

Here is a true Rip Van Winkle story

from cnn:.

warsaw, poland (reuters) -- a 65-year-old railwayman who fell into a coma following an accident in communist poland regained consciousness 19 years later to find democracy and a market economy, polish media reported on saturday.. wheelchair-bound jan grzebski, whom doctors had given only two or three years to live following his 1988 accident, credited his caring wife gertruda with his revival.. "it was gertruda that saved me, and i'll never forget it," grzebski told news channel tvn24.. "for 19 years mrs. grzebska did the job of an experienced intensive care team, changing her comatose husband's position every hour to prevent bed-sore infections," super express reported dr. boguslaw poniatowski as saying.. "when i went into a coma there was only tea and vinegar in the shops, meat was rationed and huge petrol lines were everywhere," grzebski told tvn24, describing his recollections of the communist system's economic collapse.. "now i see people on the streets with cell phones and there are so many goods in the shops it makes my head spin.".

grzebski awoke to find his four children had all married and produced 11 grandchildren during his years in hospital.. he said he vaguely recalled the family gatherings he was taken to while in a coma and his wife and children trying to communicate with him.. .

That's sad he didn't get to be there when his children were growing up :(
I don't understand comas at all.
