the imposing lodge on whose polished parquet i now am standing offers me not mere views through floor-to-ceiling plate glass windows but expansive vistas.

formerly, from mullioned panes in my small and tilting cottage, i would gaze with unspoken delight upon the setting sun and my very good fortune.

i was happy to be alive amidst simple things and pleasures.

here is a little story for you.

i have a cat that has always been a little feral and doesn't get along with the other cats socially.

one of my cats decided he was going to bully this poor guy and worry him sick.

Yahweh was a Cannanite god Ashtoreth his wife...before the Jews!! Unreal!

this i did not know till recently.

buts a whole new meaning to "let us make man in our image.." no wonder all the kings of israel turned to other gods..

It is my observation that people do not really want to follow archeological evidence wherever it leads whether they are biblically oriented or academics. Humans form an idea and want to stick to it and anyone who upsets the applecart gets criticism. i'm not sure what happened here or what we really are but I'm interested in the search and archeological finds are fascinating and mysteries are plentiful.

The derisive term for the "annointed" - cracker eater:

by james_woods in

i owe this one to palmtree (from an outside conversation):.

i had forgotten it, but way back in the late 1960s, when all the "real annointed" were pretty old, and the whole organization seemed to be run by the "other sheep" - i think somewhere between 1966 and 1968, i first ran into this term:.

"cracker eater" - a dispespectful term for the old, presumably senile, truly pre-1935 era jw annointed.. here is my nearly-forgotten story:.

He snidley said a cracker eater

i thought he was a spiritual leader

but soon the truth would be revealed

and so his fate would then be sealed

he traveled all about the land

proud that all his words were grand

One day the GB will arise

and run off with the money prize

the necks of witnesses will snap

when realizing it all was crap

Do You Take Flu Shots?

by minimus in

jw
friends

i never have.

i seldom get the "flu" and if i do, it usually happens after everyone else has gotten it.. i know of many people who regularly get the flu shot and they seem to always still get sick..

nancy drew

I have a very strong immune system and don't get sick that often so no i never get a flu shot. However, a very strange thing happened once Me and my husband went to a park that was full of ducks and we sat near them on a bench and they were everywhere a couple of days later we both were flattened with a horrible flu and we both just laid there immobilized. i suspect we caught some weird bird flu and survived but that was the only flu I think I ever had.
