  today, the 28 february, is 17 years since my dad died.

  every year, on this day, i speak to my jw mum on the telephone, just to say hello mum, i know this isn`t your favourite day.. every year that passes, she tells me that, every morning on this date, when she wakes, she tells herself that today is just another day, there is nothing special about it.. well, today i told her that today was special.

  the sun and earth were in the same place, the season was the same.

  Regardless of religious beliefs (or not). grief and sorrow are not weakneses, they are a natural part of recovery.

  Today, I attended the funeral of my late brother in law, who was 53. The service was in a church. A good part of the service, reflected on his life. Whilst there where many tears, the where also many smiles, as details of some of his worldly escapades where relayed to the congregation. I was looking after his little granddaughter Mia who is 2. To keep her amused, we quietly played games at the back of the church and had a lot of fun, which is the way he would have wanted it.

  Although he was never overly religious, his mother was. In his final days (he had terminal cancer), he asked his wife to make sure that the funeral service was held at his mothers church, because he knew it would make her happy. He had no time for self pity, he was more concerned about how his death would impact on loved ones. What a man.

  Whilst playing with Mia, it struck me, that as we grow up, there is a danger of us all taking ourselves far too seriously. Laughter, fun, happiness and love, are often lost during life's journey.

  So I hope that you all feelgood this wonderful day.

  Doc (happy he is at peace)

  Hi Frenchy

  It was a rhetorical statement - sorry if it appeared otherwise.

  Russell is a man without any credibility

  Self styled prophets of God never stand up to close scrutiny. Russell (and he was by no means unique) set standards for others, he never kept himself. At some point, the halo's of self styled prophets, tend to drop down and strangle them.

  Did not his wife divorce him for "his conceit, egotism, domination and improper conduct (adultery) with other women". He sued the Brooklyn Daily Eagle for liable, when the paper exposed his fraudulent attempts to sell ordinary wheat as "miracle wheat" to farmers at an extortionate price. Russell lost the case, the US authorties ordering him to return the money to the farmers. The expression "con man" comes to mind. Did he not lie under oath in court (a liable action he lost against Rev Ross) about his knowledge of Greek and Hebrew. Only when he was handed a copy of a Greek New Testament in court, did he concede that he new nothing of the Biblical languages. Factually, he perjured himself.

  Now that's before we get to all of his failed prophecies. It is my view, that Russell took much from his involvement in Adventism. The SDA William Miller, had previously predicted the Second coming of Christ would be on 21/3/1843. when it failed, he changed the date to 21/3/1844, when that again failed, the Adventist Hiram Edson, claimed it had been "divinely revealed" to him that 21/3/1844 was correct, and that Christ had returned invisibly. Does the thread of this sound familiar. Make a wild claim, when quetioned for proof, claim it happend invisibly - Hmm

  That's the short version.

  I repeat, Russell is without credibility.

  Hope all is well with you.

  For Ozziepost

  Billy Fury

  Unfortunately Billy died from heart disease about seventeen years or so ago. As a child, he had Rheumatic Fever which left him with diseased heart valves. At the height of his fame in the 60s, he had to quit showbiz due to his deteriorating health. He kept chickens and the like on a small farm in North Wales.

  You will probably remember, one of his most famous songs was Halfway To Paradise - hopefully he is now all the way there.

  Hope your Feeeelingood

  Doc
