not of your own accord would you slip away and leave this fragile and wounded man unattended.
i love you deeply, but, i admit, erratically.
my flaws are manifold.

i dreamed, once again, you were at my side talking, laughing, loving.
the sun warmed my face and you my heart as we lived a life forever.. i awoke with a start that left behind the land of our past, viewing my today for the misery and sadness that, truly, it is and ever shall be.. is it better to live in the land of dreams with the one i love or to exist alone and awake, recalling the dark intent that poisoned your heart?.

Delightful, Nancy. Twisted brain? I think not.
Hi Magnum: in part, the "religion" that was once dear to our hearts became an overpowering obsession -- obeyed at all costs -- to some of our mates.
POISON.
THANKS!

Not of your own accord would you slip away and leave this fragile and wounded man unattended. I love you deeply, but, I admit, erratically. My flaws are manifold. Aren't your friends and family -- God Himself -- aware of my urgent, pressing needs? Have they insinuated themselves into your psyche and persuaded you that your once unbridled affection for me is unhealthy?
Have you tired of loving him whose devotion to you is complete?
You are my reason for living. Why, then, am I not yours?

I am absorbed in the moment, all alone in this merciless world.
But I think of sweeter days, days when you, my faithful loving companion were at my side.
You were ever at the ready to meet my pressing needs: those of heart, body, soul.
Who took you from me?

Yes, Nancy, in one of those moods.
You are, on the one hand, light and breezy -- hilarious -- in your little poems; on the other hand, like now, you are profound, offering good, useful advice.
I like your point of enjoying the moment of fantasy -- like sipping a glass of wine on the beach -- but then our having to move on back into the real. A friend, with whom I haven't spoken in 50 years, reappeared, and she is like you in her sensible but sensitive approach to life and the people who inhabit it.
Blessings and peace, Nancy dear.

Is it better to live in the land of dreams with the

the dark intent that poisoned your heart?

On various fronts there has been much discussion on the children of Jehovah's Witnesses being pushed into premature baptism. The statement that The Society prepared for The European Commission on Human Rights, however, is quite revealing. Aware of the WT's differing stance on issues - from Malawi to Mexico, from Europe to the USA - you don't require a full-blown explanation as to the whys and wherefores. Please note the following statement from the WT, particularly the emphasized text:
"As regards the ALLEGED involvement of children, the applicant association [WTS] submits that children CANNOT BECOME MEMBERS of the association but only participate [. . .]

"...what it is is this spanx, this skin-tight stuff they wear.
now, are you sisters wearing this in the ministry?
i can't say that i've ever seen that.
There was a WT publications photo in the recent past of JWs frolicking at the beach. I recall that everyone was wearing pants (trousers) and shirts. No tanktops, no shorts. They must have been heeding the warning signs on Australian beaches . . .
Or have been extremely sensitive and obedient to GB directives.
