  greetings, fellow lexophiles:.

  last night, i watched a cool road movie, the trip, with steve coogan and rob brydon.

  they were counseled by steve's dad to take an "anticlockwise" route home, rather than the clockwise one steve had proposed.

  Here's a word I like: butterfly. It sounds quite nice as it is but if you switch the initial sounds you get 'flutter-by'. -- LUHE

  How about the French equivalent for butterfly: papillon

  Knorr on 1914: "I don't know." - Mouthy Alert!

  dear mouthy and other denounced ones,.

  you may find this double standard $%^@#@*&!

  "in 1975, knorr made a remarkable and candid statement to the governing body, which confirmed his growing disillusionment until his death two years later: ["]'"there are some things i know --- i know that jehovah is god, that christ jesus is his son, that he gave his life as a ransom for us, that there is a resurrection.

  Mouthy was disfellowshipped over the 1914 issue; please read the following comment from Grace and see link from 11 years ago:
  

  Raises my hand!!!!I am here!!!!
  

  Well the bunch of creeps...I never knew that COCo....I wonder if that is why they came a few years ago to see if I wanted to be reinstated???
  

  How could they sleep nights after throwing me out & many others because we said we just couldnt accept that. ????? Oh what a way to start the NEW YEAR!!!!! To know they have my daughter &-Grand-child in bondage & shunning me -because they didnt want all to know they had goofed AGAIN.

  Off with their heads.....

  I re-sized my picture files (made them smaller) and didn't have any trouble posting them -- OrphanCrow

  Likewise. I go to Microsoft Office Picture Manager and resize, then save to pictures. I was surprised when I found that I could right click on most any image, copy, and immediately paste to this and other sites, thereby avoiding the steps outlined above.

  Is everything technological becoming more and more user friendly?

  Computer Dummies want to know!

  Edited to add: Yes, nowwhat, re: spiral of death. I would just give up, leaving the page, and find my image showing up a few days later.

  My wife and I just had a wonderful experience today.

  2. experiences

  my wife was looking through some old diary`s that we have lying around and found a ph.# of an old friend (jw) that we knew over 15 years ago .we were always curious as to what has happened to her as she was a dear friend for many years when we were in the "truth".

  so she rings the number (,do you still have the same # that you had 15 yrs ago ?

  ) and this friend was a bit of a "gypsy" type so she wasn`t expecting much when she rang.. to cut a long story short we all had a good conversation we had been trying to find out about her all these years with no success and she was also trying to find out about us all these years with no success ,we had moved interstate.. nothing was said about religion though i suspect she is still associated with the borg.

  So I bite my tongue and keep my mouth shut.-- smiddy

  Thanks for the update, smiddy. That's right, some just don't care and are happy to be reunited. Interesting how we have so many other things to discuss. I never would have believed life w/o religion would be possible, yet here we are in our new lives!

  Best wishes to you and mrs. smiddy.

  Thanks, Diogenesister!

  You mean the blocks, plural, are called LEGO? Like we wouldn't say sheeps? I would never have thought, yet I have always wondered why "you" say maths!

  My Belief in Prayer

  by compound complex in

  2. beliefs

  my belief in prayer was once bolstered by my strong attachment to what i had read in aid to bible understanding.

  my having a part in its initial prep in the factory and, later, a detailed proofing of thousands of references to it made this bible dictionary an influence in my former life.

  please note this extract on jehovah's seeming delay in the answering of prayer.

  My faith in prayer is firmly founded in the fact that sometimes when I needed something, I got it. . . . please send me some peanut butter. -- Nathan Natas

  Nothing more needs be said.

  was the Aid book Ray Franz's work? -- LV101

  I believe so, along with Charlie Ploeger and others. Ed Dunlap wrote Commentary on the Book of James. So sad and wrong what happened to such dedicated brothers.
