  Did You Watch The Waltons?

  if so, did you enjoy the show?.

  i loved it.

  missed quite a few episodes due to attending kh meetings, but i'm making up for that.. the show reminds me so of growing up in a large family, having to share everything, and looking out for each other..

  The Huffington Post again?

  The Drudge Report is a collection of blogs and articles from many sources, including the Huffington Post.

  Tabloid ? The Huff Post recently featured a front page on the contents of the stomach of the guy who ate the face of a homeless man.

  Great show. We never missed it unless we had to go to the spiritual food restaurant.

  Paradise earth doctrine - did it strike anyone else as a bit odd?

  i have neglected to read jwfacts.org since discovering jwn a few weeks ago (remnants of the "apostate" defenses in action), but recently i decided to dive head first into it, and it has been eye-opening.

  of course, some of the information i already knew through reading jwn, but one of the pages that really got my attention was the paradise earth topic under "questionable doctrine".. paradise earth caught my eye because way before i started having doubts about jw doctrine, i have always been asking questions about the topic - not to raise doubts (since i didn't have any back then), but just for my personal understanding, and to see how plausible it could be.

  in the past i have asked things like:.

  When I was growing up I was constantly being told about the New World. It was all about having a lion as a pet, etc But as I grew older, I was never satisfied with my questions that you listed above. I never spoke out about it when I was a JW. The attitude was, why spoil a nice fairy tale?

  You are moving a long distance in miles but not very far from your French culture and language. When I have been in Montreal I have noticed that French is the preferred tongue in many places.

  Anyway, welcome to the continent.

  Drudge does not pass the litmus test that libs use to pick and choose what they will consider. They have all the answers already.

  Like kids that won't eat spinach until they have outgrown green peas and mashed carrots. Takes time but some of them never grow.

  Summer reading

  ok folks, it's that time of year.

  school's out, the kids are running around (well actually staring at the video screen), the days are longer and the night are cool.

  with the lazy hot days of summer ahead what's on your reading list?.

  I read Moby Dick several years ago and found it daunting to start but after I picked up on the writing style found it a great read. The kind of thing that actually changes your internal thought language very profoundly for awhile. The same thing with reading Shakespeare or Dickens, et al. The impression fades but always leaves the "ear" ready to visit again.

  I saw the movie "Master & Commander, The Far Side of the World" with Russel Crowe as Captain Aubrey. I loved the movie so much I ended up reading several of Patrick O'Briens books that the script was based on. If you are into sailing ship stories and high seas adventure with strong, complex characters and simple but engrossing plots, I recommend Patrick O'Brian. NOTE: This not "potato chip" reading.

  When I was in my mid teens I read every Jim Kjelgaard book I could get my hands on. (He wrote "Big Red" which Disney made into a movie) All exciting stories about dogs, wild animals, indian boys in the old west, etc. great books for the right young person.

  Very similar to the Jack London books.
