last night was the season finale for 24. it has been a very fast paced season, for all the characters.

i was so upset that they killed terry, but wonder if anyone thinks she might not be dead.

it sure looked like she is, the way jack carried on with her in his arms, instead of going for help.

"You can't sit there" (bad language)
by Simon in

the "please be seated" post rememded me of our experiences at the last district assemblies we attended.. it was in the nynex / manchester evening news arena and it was hot ... damn hot.

they were obviously being 'cheap' and not paying for the air conditioning to be turned on.. liam was a baby and was becoming unwell because of the heat.

he was overheating badly which is pretty dangerous at that age so we stripped him off and took him out up the steps to the concourse.

well, weve been in our new house now for almost two years, and we finally got our first visit from the witnesses, a couple of days ago.. two very nice middle-aged ladies stood on my doorstep, asking me would i accept their two magazines for free?

- they were old issues from january well, how could i refuse?.

its gods will that zebras are striped and thats the beginning and end of it.. for an educational magazine this is just a disgrace.. can you hear the voice of the great teacher in this?

The Ransome Issue
by Amazing in
1. jw
2. friends
from a very young age i have been curious about the ransom jesus provided.

i always wondered why god found it necessary to have his son killed for our sins or our inherited sin, when he simply could have just waved his hand and forgiven us.

my catholic faith helped me some to understand the 'financial' exchange aspect of the ransom, but it was never truly satisfying to my sensibilities.. upon becoming a jw, i felt that they had better ideas and definitions.
