i hope you're all doing well.
i'm just fine.
i recently purchased the new adele album, 21. it's even better than her first album, imho.
LOVE HER!!!!!!
loved her comment about being grouped with
"other" female singers* as the third invasion
from the UK saying "we're a gender, not a genre"
amen sistah!!!
*the train wreck amy winehouse included...
i DO hope she figures it out and brings her
talent back to the arena.... loved her too!
by a pretty jw lady to the memorial.
hubby got the door but waited for me to come to the door (he was on the phone).
i listened to her introduction and held the memorial tract, then i handed it back and said quite firmly that i was not interested.
since the elder who was the BS conductor
at our house for about 10 years saw me
drive by with my bumper stickers for PFLAG
and a state election BOLDLY displaying my
deep attachment to worldly things, i am
guessing i am on the DNC list.....
bwahahahaha.... and i hope to stay there!!!!
i know there are many people on this discussion board who love learning, so i thought i would share this link i received from my undergrad university.. it will take you to a series of lectures at the school that were videotaped, and some look quite interesting.
best of all, you can watch them for free.

i am using khan academy to augment
an online chem course i am having to take!
also, you can find entire courses on youtube
channels for UCBerkeley ( am many more i
am certain) ... i used dr marian diamond's
intro to anatomy and physiology to augment
an online anatomy course i was taking....
titled integrative biology
absolutely brilliant!!!
lots of access to info these days....
i don't know whether this has ever been asked, so i apologize if i'm repeating.. what did you do at the last meeting you ever attended?
did you stay for the whole thing?
what made you realize that this was your last meeting, or did you not know it would be your last meeting??.
it was about 4 or 5 years ago
i had deliberately traveled out of the country
to visit a non-JW friend with the intention of
going to memorial as a sign of respect to the
"arrangement" to please jah, and wanted
complete anonymity so as to avoid the
"we never see you at meetings anymore"
denigrating BS at the KH i had attended......
i "heard" the talk for the first time with crystal clarity....
i saw the snooty behavior of elders and their wives,
unruly children and an overall lack of anything genuine
and i walked out of there at the last note of the last
song thinking to myself "I am so over this sh!t"
i am officially a 34-year-old college freshman!
woo hoo!!!!!.
due to my current situation, i am taking on-line classes for the summer semester.. i am finally getting this college thing going!
good for you! you are a whipper-snapper
compared to me! i will be 55 this month!
allow me the indulgence of reiterating
that you HAVE to stay on track with the
online courses and make sure everyone
respects your time in class! my college
handbook suggested making a sign
that says "class in session" to put on
your door when you are engaged in
course work... i did it and it trained
my family to respect that i was in class...
i am about one month out from getting
my assoc of applied science and I have
discovered that it is actually a sort of
lifestyle being an online student, one
i am ready to take a break from
last tidbit, if you can take an "in real life"
course every so often, like an english comp
class at a local tech school, it helps break up
that sense of islolation that sometimes occurs
when you sit at a computer trying to teach
yourself something ( i am doing an organic
chem course right now, last 3 credits !!!!)
best wishes and good luck to you in this adventure!!
it actually happened right next to a kh, but not the one they apparently attended even though they lived right by it.

time and unforeseen circumstance befall us all....
this would be equally tragic if it were any family....
no spin, just plain tragic
ok, to all you 'christians' who love to and rightly do comment on threads attacking your 'lord', enough with the.
''may you have peace dear so and so''.
''your fellow slave in christ''.
exercise your perogative not to read the
posts made by individuals you prefer not
to read.... it is better than caller ID! no
posts show up as unidentified poster!
a little something to lighten up the day.. .
