i want to vacation somewhere sometime later this year, but i am not sure where i want to go yet.
i need some ideas.
.
L'Auberge, Sedona, AZ. We got an upgrade to a creekside cottage, and it was really the most beautiful place. Outside showers on the porch, chairs by the creek with a fresh newspaper and coffee right at the water's edge. Go there if you ever get a chance.

Fancy enough for me also is the Venetian/Palazzo in Vegas. All rooms are suites, and really beautiful.
hi all.
the irish branch has had lots of drama over the years from john may in the 1980s to the recent removal of practically all the branch committee in the mid noughties to its being closed down quite recently.. i heard on the grapevine that two of the branch committee had actually come to physical blows and there was blood on the carpet.. also many many witnesses spoke of the totalitarian environment there.. does anyone have anything further to corroborate or add to this?.

We had friends that went to Ireland I guess in the late '80's, hard to remember. They had a haaaaard time. The congregation small, difficult and much fighting amongst themselves. This was in the country I think, not in the big city.
Still curious.

I'd love to know. Any connections I have would NEVER tell me.
Just wow.
i thought i knew you.
an open letter from barbara anderson to watch towers writing department.
in 1517, martin luther wrote in a letter to archbishop albert of mainz: you must graciously forgive that i, that scum of the earth, am so bold as to dare to address a letter to you.. yes, i know, you think of me as scum, just like mainz believed of luther, wondering how i dare write you a letter, someone jehovahs witnesses disfellowshipped back in 2002. i was accused of being an unrepentant sinner and condemned for causing divisions, then labeled apostate because i spoke out publicly on nbcs dateline tv program aboutthe child sexual abuse policies that protected pedophiles policies that you helped formulate.
Well said Barbara. Nobody knows better than you what goes on in Columbia Heights.
You have the power, we all do really, to call them on their crap.
Brava!
good day,.
this week is the super special week of activity with one of our favorite jw celebrities...the circuit overseer!!!.
in last night's talk, he gave sooooo much encouragement...just hearing him made me want to fall to my knees and worship him!
I have no words.
Wow! Thetrueone that is an awesome performance! Thank you for posting. It seems so effortless for her...she just soars...
Sniff
looking back, did you find yourself always worried about what was going to happen to you if you made a mistake or you even exercised your own "bible trained conscience"?.
Exactly what undercover said.
My mistakes never bothered me, or choices the WTBS did not approve of. But I constantly thought, "What if they are wrong...." which created a continual struggle mentally.
Berengaria: those are my favorite Whitney songs. The best National Anthem ever, many have tried but none have come close. Great joy and respect in her rendition.
That Dolly P song explains it all if you have ever been in that situation, and nobody conveys that better than Whitney did. It gives me chills and bring s me right back to the time.
A truly great voice, and sadly, a very troubled life.
RIP Whitney.
