  i inherited a 130 year old violin from my mum that was owned by my great grandfather.

  i am learning to play it with some success as my teacher says i could pass preliminary and first grade now.

  i have only 10 lessons under my belt so far but it is getting hard now.

  Welcome back barry!

  Hey, just have fun with the violin! I played in school, and just got a six string electric violin to mess around with a few years ago. Music is fun, don't sweat that you have a perfect vibrato.

  well i am as shocked/disapointed as many here about the unthank cases out come.

  he always said that the opp had the right to do exactly what it did.. the cases are/were real.

  check the magistrates court records.

  When blood is in the water, it is amazing how quick the sharks come.

  And when we eat our own, it usually tastes like chicken.

  varian,

  You are in the position that I was. They are probably trying to get you to come back. I had a visit like that 6 1/2 years after being DFed. It is the perfect opportunity to get things off your chest. After all, what are they going to do, double disfellowship you?

  When they asked me if there was anything keeping me from coming back, I brought up the UN/NGO and pedophilia issues. It was fun to speak to these elders with no fear, as there was nothing further that they could do to me.

  Good luck,

  JK

  PS: I bet they are covering their rears for a new CO's visit.

  Watching TV, JW wife can see a problem with a fictional cult

  by OnTheWayOut in

  2. friends

  so the jw wife and i are watching the mentalist (cbs crime investigation show) and the crime is the murder of a former cult member of a fictional cult; the visionaries.

  the first policeman on scene is a visionary who tampered with the scene to remove evidence that a visionary killed a former member.

  my wife says "he's going to risk his career and violate the law to protect someone he probably does not even know.

  I have been to many nice hotels in my lifetime, but my favorites are usually historic hotels from the art deco period. My favorite is probably the Waldorf Astoria Casa Marina in Key West:

  sooner or later each of us who does not have a significant other goes out on the trail armed with our crappy photo and lame self-descriptions and awkward smile in search of our prey: an exciting mate!.

  who'd have thunk it?

  it ain't easy.. not easy, why?

  To Diana,

  I am sorry that you are going through this pain. I hope you can work it out. But remember, if he is not a good forgiver, he probably is not as good a catch as you thought he was. Big hugs.
