  when i found out "ttat" i felt like muhammad ali when joe frazer knocked him down in their first fight in the 15th round.

  the ref came over grab my gloves and looked me in the eyes and asked me "are you ok, can you continue" and then gave me the standing 8 count.

  no it didn't knock me out but it staggered me.

  I had this discussion with my brother (a COBE/PO), when we had our last BIG talk. I was discussing the inconsistency of WTBS use of verse to create their own life and death rules/laws. I told him if the society said "we don't want tobacco users/smokers in our religion" I would understand and respect that. But I have an issue when they apply Bible verse to condemn one thing as wrong and ignore many other things that can be considered unclean or a defiling the body, (or whatever term du jour they lift from a Bible verse). I told him if they wanted to go down that road, then the Mornons are more faithful to the principle than the JW's.

  how true his words proved to be!

  I asked a JW friend if the were going to have a party celebrating the 100 year anniversary...after all, making it to 100 years for anything, even invisibly, is quite an accomplishment!

  He gave me the finger.

  One of the greatest gifts from the good ol' USA is the gift of America's popluar songbook. All those amazing writers for the last century writing words and music sung by myraids of artists yesterday, today and forever. I just watched a Linda Ronstadt interview on AXS and that is what she said...and I believe she is right. I adore tha American pop songbook.

  Well done Gerry and thank you for all the music. RIP.

  Whether it is selfish or not is not the question. We need to be selfish to survive in this life.

  Life is to be lived...fully. However that sorts out, it is your choice. Live without regrets.

  We all have those ties to the organization...either with family or our history. The importance of all things JW begins to fade more and more as we let go of it more and more.

  Go live your life and have fun.

  my mom has not been to any meetings or participated in field service since august 2013. she cannot walk due to all her medical conditions.

  she is either in bed or sitting in a wheel chair.. our family hired a caretaker monday - friday to help her eat, take her to the bathroom and sit with her in case she needs anything.

  in the evenings and weekends, we have family members take care of her.

  A terminally ill friend told me about the secretary calling and telling him, "don't you have anything to report?!" My friend, who would be dead 6 weeks later, told him "put down what you want." But the conversation was so distressing to my friend, it made him feel even worse at a time he should have been able to focus on his health.

  They have such a disconnect with people.
