  well here goes... i apologize in advance if this turns into a long and disjointed rant, but i just have to begin typing in order to keep from exploding.

  i realize that what im about to say could seriously jeopardize my anonymity, but i think ive reached the point that i just dont care.

  i want this to be over.. let me explain what caused me to rip up a letter and get up and walk out in the middle of an elders meeting two weekends ago.. our boe has been embroiled in a nasty fight for the past 2 years over a certain brothers business dealings.

  Ray's personal experience is so powerful and his manner so kind, that I have to recommend COC as a must read.

  I agree..Repeating.....

  and bookmarking.

  there are many new posters here, and i'm very interested to learn why you chose your screen names.. .

  one book i read, the mists of avalon, was very important to me.

  among the main characters was merlin, who in the book, was called "taliesen".

  Snowbird...I was wondering if you were from the great white north. I thought it was wrong call a southerner by anything "yankee" related?

  I live in Georgia so we're neighbors.

  we must obey the faithful and discreet slave if we are to have jehovah's approval - ws7/15/2011.

  if this is true, it begs the questions:.

  who is this slave and who are the domestics?

  Who really is "the faithful and discreet slave"?

  Isaiah 14:21-22 (New International Version)

  21 Prepare a place to slaughter his children
  for the sins of their ancestors;
  they are not to rise to inherit the land
  and cover the earth with their cities.

  22 “I will rise up against them,”
  declares the LORD Almighty.
  “I will wipe out Babylon’s name and survivors,
  her offspring and descendants,”
  declares the LORD.
