  i decided to deep six the old one, it was donald sutherland from "invasion of the body snatchers".

  to be honest, it even creeped me out.

  maybe it was a defence mechanism to keep people at a distance .

  Of course they couldn't help you, if they did help it would have taken them away from the most loving work in the history of mankind - The Preaching Work. Duh! Don't forget also if they helped it might mean some of our brothers and sisters miss the meetings and we can't have that now, can we?

  Love amongst Jehovah's witnesses is an abstraction, a concept, a myth that always happens to someone else the pages of the watchtower. It doesn't exist.

  Wendy, your children are blessed to have a loving mum like you.

  A hungry man is never free, a rich man never cured
  Things were never what they used to be
  Now every crowd has it's silver lining, we all got stuff to sell
  And you may live your life so bitter, but you remember it so well
  Things were never what they used to be
  For all the folks who can run the world, drive cabs or cut your hair
  And the sun may set without your help, but you're beautiful people to me
  You may fall before you're pushed, but it's beautiful people I see
  If you only see the stars when it's dark, that's enough for me
  An empty soul with a full opinion is beautiful people to me
  It's all the same in different hats, the proof of the missing link
  A nation talking to itself and none of us can think
  Things were never what they used to be
  For a silent fool may still be wise, there's no way you can tell
  And the captain more scared than his crew is beautiful people to me
  And the finest government you could buy, it's beautiful people I see
  If you live five to one against, it's good enough for me
  Can't use two steps to cross a canyon, you're beautiful people to me
  If you don't see the same trees I see, you're beautiful people to me
  Make deserts bloom and oceans die, just beautiful people to me
  If you're lost and dying of civilization, that's enough for me
  If you believe your own blind eye, you're beautiful people to me
  And you may miss what you never had and have what you don't need
  And the sun may set without your help, but you're beautiful people to me
  You may fall before you're pushed, but it's beautiful people I see
  If you only see the stars when it's dark, that's enough for me
  An empty soul with a full opinion is beautiful people to me
  And the captain more scared than his crew is beautiful people to me
  And the finest government you could buy, it's beautiful people I see
  If you live five to one against, it's good enough for me
  Can't use two steps to cross a canyon, you're beautiful people to me
  If you don't see the same trees I see, you're beautiful people to me
  Make deserts bloom and oceans die, just beautiful people to me
  If you're lost and dying of civilization, that's enough for me Stuart Adamson RIP.

  Setting a shopping mall booth for preaching? Is that the newest trend?

  by divejunkie in

  i saw it for the first time.

  in a very pricy shopping center in an upscale area, these two witnesses couples had a booth, very similar to those for cellphones, and they were trying to attract people to it and passing out magazines and other literature.

  after the shock, i got to thinking: .

  Yes it's done in our area, on a market stall. An utter waste of time, but of course the positive spin machine is set in motion to make it seem refreshing and exciting. How many different ways can you flog a dead horse?

  Hang in there, I got my wife out after a year of reasoning and leaving material around the house, she used to read it when I wasn't there but I knew she had ;-). What did it for her? - the UN issue plain and simple. Made her start to reason and think about what else they were lying about and why. Little and often, push the boundary each time, more exposure to the facts and something might click. But remember some people just love to live in denial no matter what. Hope that helps and good luck.

  Thanks for making the effort, interesting as always to hear peoples individual experiences, your story is sadly familiar. Glad you managed to escape and hope your recovery from this nightmare goes well. Looking forward to part 2.

  a growing movement is pushing a worldview that ignores history's lessons about strength and appeasement.. by bruce bawer.

  september 2, 2007.

  'if you want peace, prepare for war," counseled the roman general flavius vegetius renatus more than 1,600 years ago, echoing the sage advice given nine centuries earlier by the chinese military strategist sun tzu.

  Rich men make wars and poor men fight them. My grandfather was as at Dunkirk and evacuated off the beaches, later he fought in Egypt and came home with shell shock.

  let me begin by saying that i never expected to even talk about my situation let alone discuss it on the internet but i guess im just feeling so sad that i must hope that someone will understand and give me encouragement...so here it goes.. .

  but the more active i got, the more abusive my stepmother became.

  ironically, he sent my stepmother to the wedding.
