i was looking for some bad 80's pics to post of me in another thread, and i came across a ton of me and my sister.
there is a big age gap between us, she is 12 years older than me.
so when i was in kindergarten she was a senior in high school.

yesterday was the first time me or anybody else visited my father's grave site - he died in 1977. he was a non-jw and never liked the them, but he liked the fact that my mother was.
ironically, i think he died the same day as nathan knorr.
anyway, this experience has helped me to see the real meaning of 'showing respect.

I think that we visit the dead for OURSELVES to bring a sort of closure and to help us heal. We may even talk to the dead loved one, but we know deep down that they can't hear us. But still we do what makes US feel better, placing flowers, candles, etc. at their grave.
Saying that visiting the dead is a waste of time is just one more way in which the Watchtower interferes with natural grief and human emotion. Get out in service, it will take your mind off your troubles.....yeah, right.

when individuals leave the organization for conscience reasons, it is evidence that god is shepherding and protecting the flock by doing a sifting work.
when people leave another christian religion it is evidence that the religion is morally corrupt and unable or unwilling to provide spiritually for their members.
when a christian from another denomination lies, he is acting according to his own disposition being from the father of the lie.
Excellent, excellent post.

what is all the fuss about?
when i was still assimilated (i.e.
still in the borg, but wanting out every second of that time), there was so much emphasis put on microphone handling that it was almost unreal.
When I first came to that hall, by the way, there were only 2 ministerial serpents. One was in his forties, the other in his 70's
Ain't that the truth.

i know how much you enjoy nature, so i took a pic of our garden on the day before the bbq.
it's not a particularly large garden so it doesn't take that much work to maintain it.
most of the flowers are petunias, niccotania and antihhrynnums, although we can get semi-tropical stuff to grow well in this part of the uk..
Simply breathtaking. You've done a great job.

well, i have to say that things went better yesterday than i expected.
my dad first commented that i had put on some weight and then gave me a hug.
my mom took one look at me and said i was getting fat and it was a shame.
That's wonderful news. I hope everything works out well for you and your family.

well, here's another nail for the coffin: my son requested this info to show his jw sister.
washington, d.c. 20549.

Shouldn't Watchtower simply return the stocks to McCann and then disfellowship his sorry ass?
They would be in the clear and could spin it anyway they liked.
