  i have been here for almost six months now and thought i would mark the occasion by starting one of these threads.

  you may have been lurking on this site for a while, learning a lot but too afraid to participate.

  i was convinced that somehow my ip address would be traced or i would be i.d'ed.

  Hi, Pinky! I don't think I have formally welcomed you. Welcome. I like the spice you bring to the board already. 50 years! Wow! You prolly played phonographs in field circus.

  And, Welcome to you too Indy. Glad you checked in. Sorry, it sounds like your's is another family just ripe to be ripped apart for the sake of the WT$. The truth hurts. You'll be ok.

  last tuesday i went to the ortho surgeon... they did some x rays.

  instead of a plaster cast he put me in a velcro walking splint.

  i can leave it off... and am not supposed to put any weight on the leg for a month.

  HillBilly sounds like you're on your way.

  I know a kid last year that shattered his ankle in a motorcycle accidet. He's walking around just fine now. He had a cast on for about six months. Then a walking cast for about 6 weeks..

  Of course he's only 22 so he healed up pretty quick. It takes a little longer at our age. Hang tough. And. don't be afraid to excersize it.

  Noah's ark - Can't believe I once actually thought it was true

  by sam_sane_now in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when i was a jw i didn't even question that the noah's ark story might not be true.

  i didn't realise that it wasn't achievable for a handful of people to gather literally millions of animals - two of each kind - and fit them into a boat where they would all survive for many days.

  i didn't think about the fact that if the highest mountain was covered with water then how could plant life like trees and flowers come to exist again, especially so soon after, with the raven grabbing an olive leaf was it?

  OM, I know I can always count on you.

  Cashun, Good Lord I thought I was bad but not so much now. I've only been smoking for 30+ years. Thanks!

  LowKey- That's what I'm talking about. Thanks for the encouragement. I hear you. And I can be a stubborn SOB!
