This may also be of use...

It's from the February 15th 1983 Watchtower...

"Strength Beyond Normal and How They Found It"

It started when their 12-year-old daughter, Sara, suddenly got sick with a rare blood disease. At the local hospital the doctor recommended blood transfusions. Because of their respect for God's law regarding life and blood, and on account of medical information they have acquired over the years, they decided against the treatment.—Genesis 9:4; Acts 15:28, 29.

Hoping to find some alternative, they rushed Sara 250 miles (400 km) to Thunder Bay, only to find the same response from the doctors there. Continuing their search, they took Sara out of the hospital.

Eight hours later Sara's struggle for life came to an end. For her parents this was only the beginning.

J. R. Durrell's talk "Can You Sleep on a Windy Night?" (1973) is another jawdropper. It backs a little off on the date of 1975, but it pulls no punches in emphasizing the utter urgency of the moment.

I've uploaded the original talk here for anyone that hasn't heard it. http://www.sendspace.com/file/xt29yb

28Mb mp3 file.

This talk was repeated in 2006 by Justin Shaw - a UK CO but lacks the impact of the original.

cos i need some help as i don't trust my it guy at all.. my email totally crashed on me today - i noticed the pee cee getting slower and slower and then it switched itself and restarted.

i rebooted after that again...just in case.

when i went into my mail everything that was in my inbox and subsequent folders opened under that had disappeared along with everything in my sent items.

I've found that this happens when Outlook Express wants to do its stupid "compacting folders" thing.

If you are lucky then the dbx files are still intact.

Do a search on your PC for *.dbx, then cut and paste the dbx files to another location.

Open Outlook Express and create folders with the same names as the dbx files that you have moved.
Close Outlook Express.

Copy and paste the dbx files that you moved back to the original location overwriting the ones that will have been created by making new folders.

Re open Outlook Express and you should have the contents back unless the files were corrupted.

I've never thought

by John Doe in

that the end would come before the beginning, but as time drifts on i see that chronology isn't a proven theory, and thoughts are only partially relevant.

drifting off to sleep at night to sleep a thoughtless dream, or dream a thoughtless sleep, and end a day that was never waking, and morning comes too quickly and the alarm clock is not often heard.

and maybe the end has come, and it was just like the beginning, and the beginning isn't happening.

The eternal NOW - never ends, never begins, it just IS.
We're human BEINGS, not human "BEENS" or "BECOMINGS"
We have potential - unlimited potential because potential only exists in the NOW.
(emo neither high or low, just being)

Wow... that sounds like something that I'd say :)
