  sometimes i think, i wish i could sing this old song to the witnesses: "if they could see me now, ...".

  i thought you'd get a kick out of this, don't laugh - i've entered this drag competition and i wondered if you could vote for me...you will see my history of drag and imagine this - shots of me as myself...hahaha!

  feel free to leave a comment there too if you like the photos!

  Marley Cole's "Jehovah's Witnesses - The New World Society"

  by witnessgirl in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  well, i just finished reading marley cole's "jehovah's witnesses - the new world society" book from 1955. i'll provide a few quotes to introduce it in case you aren't familiar with the book.

  ray franz in crisis of conscience, p74, 2004 hc edition: cole wrote the book as if he were a non-witness writing an objective account.

  the idea was that by having the book published by an outside publishing firm it might reach persons who normally would not take society literature.

  One benefit of not having the internet at work is the amount of reading I'm getting done. I just read both "The Kite Runner" and "A Thousand Splendid Suns" in the last few weeks.
  
  Both books made me realize how little I know of the way of life in war torn countries. The author made it easy to feel what these people felt: the terror, the guilt, even the jealousy.
  
  I appreciate my life more after reading these books. I've been through a lot of shit in my life but nothing that compares to watching one of my own children starve. I've never had the paralyzing fear that they will step on a mine that blows off a limb or kills them while they are playing. I've never worried that they would be snatched off the street and forced to become a soldier. I was deeply touched by the characters in these books.
  
  I am convinced that religion is the root of all evil.

  it was left up to make up for lost time, plus i thought i might get an elder's visit and wanted them to see it long after the season if they showed up.

  only four months and i can put it back up!

  I have been told(lovingly)that it is a sign of mental illness. :-) I decided it wouldn't hurt to put it back up in a few months, they're are some things I want to change. Some of the decorations belong to my daughter who is no longer living with me. I'll probably have to get new lights anyway.
  
  It's definitely been a hoot to see how people react to a summer Christmas tree.
