up until october 18th, 2004, my (elder in good standing who generally talks to me almost never) father had a copy of the original "photo drama of creation".

for those of you not familiar with it, the "photo drama of creation" was a multimedia experience from the turn of the century, combining (hand painted?

) glass slides with phonograph records resulting in an audio/video presentation years before "talkies".

Quotes- They will stuff them into a closet and they will never see the light of day again... old stuff like that makes lot's of explaining for them...can we all say. "revisionist history"?

Back in the mid 70's I saw a condensed version of the Photo-Drama in Nashville Tn. It was quite the event... actually sort of a 2 day special meeting format, by invitation.

It's a shame too... those slides are a bit of a historical treasure on several levels...plus the glass painting was a work of art in itself.

i am a very sick little boy.

my mother is typing this for me, because i can't.

she is crying.

I am a very sick little boy. My mother is typing this for me, because I can't. She is crying. Don't cry, Mommy! Mommy is always sad, but she says it's not my fault. I asked her if it was God's fault, but she didn't answer, and only started crying harder, so I don't ask her that anymore.

The reason she is so sad is that I'm so sick. I was born without a body. It doesn't hurt, except when I go to sleep. The doctors gave me an artificial body. My body is a burlap bag filled with leaves. The doctors said that was the best they could do on account of us havin' no money or insurance.

I would like to have a body transplant, but we need more money. Mommy doesn't work because she said employers don't hire crying people. I said, "Don't cry, Mommy," and she hugged my burlap body. Mommy always gives me hugs, even though she's allergic to burlap, and it chafes her real bad.

I hope you will help me. You can help me if you forward this e-mail. Dr. Johansen said if you forward this e-mail then Bill Gates will team up with AOL and do a survey with NASA. Then the astronauts will collect prayers from school children all over America and take them up to space so that the angels can hear them better. Then they will go to the Pope, and he will take up a collection in church and send the money to the doctors. The doctors could help me better then.

Maybe one day I will be able to play baseball. Or maybe just use my lungs and heart, when the doctors make them. The doctors said that every time you forward this letter, the astronauts can take another prayer to the angels. Please help me. Mommy is so sad, and I want a body. I don't want my leaves to rot before I turn 10.

If you don't forward this e-mail, that's OK. Mommy says you're a mean heartless person who doesn't care about a poor little boy with only a head. She says that she hopes that you stew in the raw pit of your own guilt-ridden stomach. What kind of wretched person are you that you can't take five lousy minutes to forward this to all your friends so that they can feel guilt and shame for the rest of their day, and then maybe help a poor, bodiless nine-year-old boy?

Please help me. This really sucks. I try to be happy but it's hard. I wish I had a puppy. I wish I could hold a puppy.

Thank You.

Billy 'Smiles' Evans, The boy with just a head. And a burlap sack for a body.

PS: I just got an email from Walt Disney Jr. He said that Mommy and I can get a trip to Disney world if enough people forward this email. Please help me.

Why is the republican convention HERE!!

by betty boop in

does anyone know the reason why the republicans decided to hold the convention here in ny?

i have to say, its quite annoying already to have to commute into manhattan with thousands of people already, but now they make it worse!

and its close to the 9/11 anniversary and the big cities are always a target why are they bringing more attention to an already targeted place?

JW and Guns

by eljefe in

i had a debate on another forum with a jehovah's witness on a gun forum.

anyway he is a jw that owns several handgun as well as an ar-15 (the civilian version of the military's m-16).

i posted several watchtower articles that show how jw's shouldn't own guns.

It is similar if one of Jehovah?s Witnesses insists on carrying or having firearms for protection against humans, or on learning the martial arts. The spiritual elders should take immediate steps to counsel and help him to remedy the situation. (Micah 4:3) Anyone who thus continues to carry personal arms or otherwise equips himself to become "a smiter" would cease to qualify for special privileges in the congregation.?1 Timothy 3:2, 3.

that was the quote that told me those folks had NO business telling me how to defend my home or family if need be....Even as JW's our family prescribed to the "judged by 12 or carried by 6" theory.

Carried, permitted, practiced regularly... the whole time I was active and of legal age. "Dont ask dont tell" worked for me!
