Everyone likes the sound of rain. Well, maybe flood victims don't like it so much.

Even after reading Crisis of Conscience, one thing (at least) still puzzled me
by kepler init was several years back and from time to time i will look something up in the index.
all manner of things about jw life are revealed - as well as discussions within the leadership, plus historical and contemporary controversies - but there is still something i missed.. please excuse me if this is not a detailed summary.
when the drum roll starts for the purge, it appears that the friends and associates of ray franz are targeted first.

: I am tempted to ramble on about that, but I fear that I am obscuring the focus on the matter at hand.
:Any comments?
Yeah. You are dumber than a box of rocks.

I've stood at the top of Mount Palomar in 6 inches of snow on a camping trip and looked down and saw oranges on trees in groves, people surfing in a warm ocean, the Coronado Islands and Tijuana Mexico and said to myself, "where else in the world can one do this?"
We have the highest mountain range in the lower 48 States (the Sierra), the biggest mountain in the lower 48 (Whitney), we have the biggest ocean coastline, the best weather, the harshest desert (Death Valley), the mildest desert (Mohave), some of the best skiing (Tahoe, Mammoth Lakes) and the freaking WORST GOVERNMENT in the UNIVERSE!
We also have San Francisco, which I hope people won't hold against us.

A correction here: it was not Jimmy ("Communist") Carter who issued my full and unconditional pardon. It was President Gerald R. Ford in 1974.

BB,
:From his own words and actions Prsident Obama is more communalistic than Ayn Rand was
For the record, the Communist Party USA has officially endorsed Barack Hussein Obama for re-election as the President of the United States of America. Good to have folks like that on your side while proclaiming to believe in a free-market in the USA, eh?

I spoke for about an hour with Barbara Grizutti Harrison about a month before she died. She promised to send me a copy of each of her books, but unfortunately never got around to it. She also told me that should I ever visit New York City again, she would love to meet me.
Barbara had class coming out of her class. She was obviously ill, but every much the consummate classy lady, and was quite self-deprecating. There was not a hint of arrogance about her. Her book on the JWs is a treasure because it gives a story from a women's point of view in the 1950's. She had MUCH to say about that slut Bonnie Boyd!

: You have to be in your 90’s.
Are we talking my body or my chronological age? True on the former. False on the latter.
No, I never served with Russell. That was sarcastic and not to be taken seriously. I did help Martin Luther write his theses, though, and I do remember when Gallileo Galleli was put under house arrest.
As for Haydn Covington, I loved that southern good-old boy. He could have remained a WT Vice Pres. had he only lied about being "anointed" like the rest of them did. What was there not to like about him? He spun WT stories so well that he should have been writing WT articles. We shared a beer together once. Well, actually I had a beer and put another one on his tombstone just in case he showed up.
He didn't.

Liberty,
I was going to write my review of the move, but honestly, your post just about wrote it for me. Well done.
scotoma,
: Farkel: The only way you will enjoy this picture is if you leave your well tuned Bull S__T detector at home.
So I take it you've made your evaluation after actually taking time to SEE the movie as I did?
darth frosty,
: um NOTHING Obama has done point to any black liberation!
You are quite wrong.

I haven't been booted from this board in years. I guess I'm off my game.
One of the problems of codgerism I face is losing my "touch" (whatever THAT is). Well, I guess I've lost it.
Gawd I miss the days when I was booted for whatever-it-is they boot people for. Got booted here. The charge was "terrorism" but I could be wrong.. I forget. Got booted a bunch of times from H20. The charge was "we don't like the facts", or maybe it was "you are pain in the ass.
Hey, Simon! How about a boot for old times sake? Then we can have a cyber beer or something. And laugh about the instanity of the human condition. Now THAT is funny!
