  Favorite Elvis Song

  by ThiChi in

  elvis is the king baby!

  it is hard to believe that 25 years have passed since elvis' death.

  most his songs are "dated" imho, however, his "style" truly lives on.

  My fave song from The King - probably Kentucky Rain. In The Ghetto was good also. The guy had a lot of 'em, so it's hard to pick.

  One of my favorite all-time Elvis albums, is, believe it or not, "Elvis Country" with The King doing Country-style tunes. No hits are on the album, but every song is good.

  Oh, and a theory by my brother (who admits it's a bit far-fetched).....that in a few hundred years, Elvis might well be considered The Messiah by people living in the future. The reasons - he changed everything, drew a large following, and people reported seeing him after his (premature) death.

  i seem to recall someone talking about having the list of points for the weight watchers point system diet.

  my sister and some of her co workers are planning on going to a weight watchers free meeting.

  i told her of course the will have you pay up , and it is not that expensive, but i told her i might can get the information from someone on the internet.

  Weight Watchers? C'mon now. All anyone needs to do is eat at Subway. Just ask Jared.

  On my (evil) wish list: Jared gains all his weight back, as he discovers that the "Subway Diet" has a boomerang effect on his body.

  Cancer

  you might think i'm being picky here, please dont take this the wrong way.

  the thing is, i'm stuggling with my health at the moment and am going in hospital to see if my cancer has spread.. heres my gripe: some people (noone on this board) say to me, over and over, that they know someone who had skin cancer and they're fine now....how they can just remove the mole and everything is fine.

  well for the purposes of educating people:.

  Sirona, my heart goes out to you! I did not know you had been battling cancer. My oldest sister has been fighting breast cancer and it's been about three years of an uphill battle so far.

  The information you provide is absolutely correct and essential. Too many people treat skin cancers lightly.

  You will be in my thoughts! Please update us on your condition when you can. Thank you!

  The things that really impress me here are the letter by Joe Anderson, and the comments by OldHippie. Also, Bill Bowen's analogy of events in China. That's what it's always been about - repression and suppression.

  Funny stuff WT!

  Well, now I know what my schedule seems to be lacking....check the 10:02, 3:00, and 6:10 time slots. 6:00 and 11:00 PM are not quite what seem to match my daily experience either.

  Publishers' Comments-Bill Bowen

  these are some comments that some have made to me recently:.

  at meeting-a brother: "that anderson sister was lying and here's how i know-no sister has access to those files, only brothers in position do.".

  in field service-a sister: "look what happens when we don't wait on jehovah and take matters into our own hands.".

  No surprises here......They never look at the real issue, they just make dismissive comments. All part of their own rationalization process.

  i have been coming to this forum since around september 2001 and although i haven't had much to say i have gained a lot by just coming here and reading.

  i have laughed and cried and got really angry along with posters here and have enjoyed most of my time here.

  now i am moving to the country to be with my daughter and her kids and i won't have internet access there which is a good thing because it will get me out from behind this screen.

  Cath, I wish you all the best......and in some ways, you'll be better off than all of us, getting out from behind the screen and just living life. Take care!

  August KM Fall Out

  by writerpen in

  2. friends

  i'm curious to know if anyone has noticed different behavior from their dub family and friends since the aug. km about disfellowshipped ones.

  i've noticed that my mother is no longer emailing me, nor is she responding to my emails.

  i really wish that she would just come out directly and state that she will no longer talk to me instead of just ignoring everything, thinking i will go away.

  I want to express my sorrow of course to those who have already been affected by this KM insert, like witchy for instance.

  However, the article is not scheduled for consideration at the Service Meeting until the end of the month. My guess is that when it is discussed, the fallout may indeed be even greater.
