my best buddy is gone.
i attended his funeral this morning.. on thursday evening, i went to the body "viewing" and it was "family only.
" i am part of the family (through marriage) so, i was there.. i was welcomed with joy and enthusiasm like a long lost (prodigal) sheep.
Then, a few short anecdotes were given and they were WRONG in the little details I ALONE knew. Yeah, if I sound jealous--I am. I could have delivered one hell of a going away talk and poor Johnny was stuck with these clowns who think they knew him!
Yes yes a thousand times yes. One more point on the list of JWorg crimes...a grieving family missed out on the fleeting joy of remembrance and a grieving friend deprived of the last service he could have rendered....

Ever time day speaks!
Whatever denomination he might have embraced--he would have been the same person--except he could have made something great out of himself and his life.
Sucks
I am free from them - except at the centre of my soul where there is a hole just about the size of Johnny Santa Cruz
Long may it stay that way...that pain is what makes us human, its a pain the JWs try to take away from us with their preachy funerals and their conditionally loving gods promise...well f@ck them we've earnt that fu#£ing pain from years of loving

60:22.. perhaps we live in an area where there are few witnesses or where we do not see a lot of immediate results in our preaching work.
Lieu Memorial attendance isn't growth, it's curiosity.
Yes, and politeness of course..they recieve an invitation, after all.....in a country that is naturally respectful of religious belief.
Doesn't mean for one second they intend to convert.
not alot of love or respect for jesus, his apostles or his church from the jws.
.
did he build his church on sand or have fools in charge that couldn't get out of their own way?.
Lieu hey remind me of the evil servants that kill the Kings son thinking they'll get his inheritance. Too much talk of following Christ and you're bound to notice that whole beating his sheep thing.
Paul they follow. A mass murdering "convert" that stays single and reproaches people for transgressions far far less than his own. Doom and gloom. Kinda like a former smoker ... highly annoying.
LOL! Perfect analogy!!

Ahhhhh...I love birds they have such great personalities! My husband used to have a pet pheasant called Percy and a chicken called Mr Magoo who liked to watch TV. Apparently there was also a resident grumpy penguin nearby he used to hang out with sometimes. This particular penguin species usually live in colonies but this one just didn't like other penguins....I don't know what the penguin version of a misanthropist is...mispingthropist?!
Glad scooter was happy though...she finally found " the one"!!
