  before i went in to the store, i went to donut shop a few doors down.

  Well, good. Maybe he will "stumble" some by his worldliness.

  LV, I'm an NPR listener. They get the evil eye from right-wingers, undeservedly,IMO. I hear interviews on both sides of current issues on there.

  I wish there was more honesty in delivering the facts.

  There is a recent bumpy spot in the love affair between Mr Trump and Fox News. It seems that there are actually a couple of real journalists at Fox who feel that reporting facts is part of their job.

  hello all - long ago i posted under sosad..... cant get back under that name so hello again.

  i though i remember in hte last couple of years that there was a change in the strict practice of not clinking glasses and toasting,,, that it was more of a conscience decision.. was i dreaming this?

  any help towards printed information on this subject is very much appreciated..

  Those evil pagans used to breathe, too! Maybe we should stop practicing things that the ancient pagans did!

  Very happy young drum player

  by Sour Grapes in

  2. experiences

  when i saw this young boy play the drums i was really impressed by his talent and the joy that he has.

  for some strange reason, i thought of how his life would change if his parents studied with the jdubs and became witnesses.

  i could see how the boy's life would change.

  How a rumor of assassination spooked the Watchtower

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  president kennedy's brother robert excited the world as a candidate for president 5 years after jfk's murder.rfk, in turn, was murdered.the assassin's name was sirhan sirhan, he was palestinian.it just so happened the assassin's father, bishara, was a member in good standing as one of jehovah’s witnesses.so what?

  so this:this seemingly innocent fact would jolt jehovah's witnesses into a near panic.

  i know because i was there.here are the facts as i remember them.______the jehovah's witness, bishara sirhan unfortunately had a reputation in his neighborhood and community for being excitable, even volatile at times.

  Wow, Terry! I hadn't yet joined up with JW's in the sixties but the context that you share is a totally new perception for me. I had no idea that there was any connection to the assasin Sirhan. The ignorance among the Witnesses enables them to spin the current affairs into something directly relevant to themselves and that was a biggie!

  I wish I had known you back then. I'd love to sit down with you and just listen to you.

  The "Hate Crime" mob stirring things up again!

  by The Fall Guy in

  1. social
  2. current

  staff in a takeaway were offended by two lesbians' full-on kissing and expressed their opinion about the behaviour.

  the lesbians complained to police that a "hate crime" was committed.. homosexual or heterosexual - do it in private, it's not a spectator sport or a public statement.. minority groups can invoke police action if they are "offended," but society in general cannot do likewise.. why has "being offended" been turned into a hate crime in the uk?

  who is pushing this agenda?.

  In my defense, Nicolau, you had to be there. These girls were rabid. Since the funeral was for my deceased grandson, I was making the rounds thanking people for being there in support of the parents. These bitches ( sorry, only word that fits) blew me off like dirt on their sleeve. Then they had the nerve to show up at my home afterward, uninvited and act offended when they were told that it was just family gathering. They sat in the drive for 45 minutes like they were planning to crash the place.

  Class. Tell me about class, Nic.

  I am currently doing some contract work for a lesbian couple who have class. The two at the funeral were horrible people. So chill out.

  Friends! (A pain in the ...?)

  friends?

  some friends are like a holiday a favorite pair of shoes the scratching post for kitten fingers to caress some friends can really wear you out with their whinging and their blues yet more or less - not worse than all the rest.

  some friends are chatty cherubim and others?

  Smiddy, I have a different take on that little proverb. I think "a friend in need is a friend indeed" is talking about having a friend when I am in need, not THEM. I think it's talking about how so-called "friends" disappear when you are down and out, also referred to as "fair-weather friends." But you find out who your friends really are when you are in need.

  I thought it was really cool the first time I saw Alexa at somebody's home. I wanted one. But it kind of creeps me out. Too much potential for evil doers!
