  when i was last here, my mother had recently been diagnosed with cancer.

  there were potential issues regarding transfusion, none of which eventuated.

  she undertook a course of chemo which worked quickly and effectively, with minimal side-effects.

  Just want to say from personal experience do not be hard on yourself. Cancer is so life changing it effects the emotions of the people that have it as well as ones close to that person. Feel good for your mom and self that you were with her. Tom, Hudson Valley NY

  i was already on my way to my second fade when i went to the wildlife photographer of the year 2012 exhibition, but this photo made me lose faith in the idea of a loving creator......(the gazelle has been injured by the mother cheetah so she can use it to train her cubs to hunt).

  Magwitch----on nature shows I've seen how lions hunt and kill cheetah cubs to eliminate competition for food. I had a very wild outside cat that only ate birds but he killed mice, squirrels, rabbits, chipmonks and everything else he could just for fun.

  Around here it was about once a month at the Avalon, Skate Time, or Spring Lake with a little square dancing mixed in. Always fun, something to look foward to, always went out to eat after. Dated a couple girls I met at those skate parties. Met one of them leaving a District Conv some time ago. Some came from 100 miles away for those skate parties.-----Hudson Valley NY

  Even as a child I never believed the pet lion crap. Always expected the borg to change all that nonsense and say it was symbolic. Also used to wonder why Able became a herder of sheep. Why? What for? In fact what were the sheep for? Cain was much smarter growing food. Nancy Drew, well said. Simon, so true, an animal is what it is. Everything about a cat is designed to kill mice. An owl has different tools, but everything about an owl is designed to kill mice. Toss a frog to the center of my pond and it swims as fast as it can to the shore because it knows it's in danger (largemouth bass, frog ain't gonna make it) It's the way it is and the way it will stay whether it all was designed and created that way or it all happened some other way.

  Bloody Hotdogs!-----So how did pleasing his heavenly father work out for him?? Actually I remember (feels like 200 yrs ago) learning that after A & E sinned they must have continued to worship Jeh and offer sacrafices for their sins, and taught their children about Jeh. Thats why Jeh let them live so long. Don't know where that speculation came from.

  Remember it EVIDENTLY was Jeh who taught man how to kill. Did Able just dream up the idea to kill livestock to offer up to his humble, loving, bloodthirsty heavenly father? OBVIOUSLY he was not happy with the fruits of Cain's hard earned labor, APPARENTLY he let them know it was blood he wanted and it is REASONABLE to conclude he instructed Able or Adam (and he passed the instuction to Able) how to butcher and bleed livestock for his pleasure

  So who was king previous to the last 100 years? The creator of all things in heaven and on earth, the sovereign of the universe, the almighty, who was king over him before the last 100 yrs?

  about the annual meeting-going to be another money maker

  haven't posted in a long time but i just have to say that the borg must really be building this annual meeting up to be a big deal.

  talked with my dad and he hasn't had so much enthusastic anticipation since 1975. he said that it was announced that if all the seats are taken you should sit in your car and listen to the talks on the radio.

  i told him the rumour was a new nwt revision would be released.

He said that it was announced that if all the seats are taken you should sit in your car and listen to the talks on the radio. I told him the rumour was a new NWT revision would be released. Just think they'll change a few words, pronouns, word tense, plural to singular, etc...... . and millions of witnesses will have to have it. Probably cost .50 cents to print on their toilet paper and will probably suggest 10 buck a copy. Don't forget the excitment of the night will result in stuffed contribution boxes. Have no doubt, the Watchtower Corp are marketing geniuses
