Sure. If I could time my return to just a couple of weeks before Armageddon. Otherwise, not a chance.

Reading is NOT Overrated!
by White Dove inhow do you read?.
i find myself attracted to certain authors and book series.. which reminds me, i need to download the grapes of wrath.. i love steinbeck's writing of historical fiction.
looking into the history of frontier america is so interesting when written in story form.. i read from most genres.. what's your poison?.

I like to rotate my reading from historical biographies such as those by David McCullough or historical fiction ala Ken Follett, (read "Julian" by Gore Vidal when I was just a youngster and got hooked on the genre). Accounts of explorers expeditions and seafaring novels also.
After finishing a heavy book, I enjoy reading a few "potato chip" books like Michael Connelly, Elmore Leonard, Lee Child, Carl Hiassen.
Jonesy, I love British mysteries also. I especially enjoy Robert Goddards books, but I think I have read them all!
Someday, I hope to re-read some of Steinbeck, Grapes of Wrath, etc.
Likewise, I enjoyed the series by the Yorkshire veterinarian James Herriott.
I could go on, but I certainly agree with the thread title!

.... So what if he were gay? His own self importance and doctrines are the harm and his shame, not his sexuality, which does not impact anyone--unless he was harassing Bethelites.
??? Maybe you overlooked the extreme homophobia and intolerance that Freddie encouraged throughout his career as the moral compass of the jAYeDGARhoover religion.

My Partner and I have been together for 10 years today!
by ohiocowboy ini am very proud that we have been together for 10 years!
being raised a jw, it was always hard for me to find a long term relationship.
most people that i met weren't interested in anything long term, and each time one ended, it left me feeling like i would never find someone who shared the same feelings.

Not the first mental case to fuel a cult movement with an intense, strong personality that sucked in mental weaklings. Jesus was the best.

My son was murdered today
by truman ini have been on this site daily, almost from its beginning, since i left the jws in 2001, but i have been more of a reader than a poster, as you can see from my post count.
i know few here know me, although i know many of you through reading your posts.
maybe it is not right to ask for support, when i generally stay quietly in the background of this forum, but i want only to speak a human misery of the deepest kind.

I think the picture of the galaxy that FHN posted was very beautiful. To me, it represents a symbol of how small and fragile our lives are in comparison to the universe. When these things happen to us mortals we can only seek a perspective that allows us to go on with whatever life offers.
Try to be positve in your outlook. My heart is with you.

This terrible. So sorry for the loss of your son, as well as the deputy. My deepest sympathy.
I used to call on those apartments in field service. It was a terrible slum even then and was always a very dangerous place.
