Independence Day and African Americans
by jimmyjames ina black friend of mine will not celebrate the 4th of july.
he feels it's a mockery since black people were still slaves when the country gained its independence.. i wanted to hear what other people think of that.
that's the first person i've ever heard mention it, but i never thought about that.

Jimmy:
It is good your friend now has the freedom to make that stand. Isn't that more important than if I agree with his stance or not.
The freedoms entrenched by the Declaration of Independence/Bill of Rights are more than reason to celebrate today, regardless of what particular individual politicians were doing at that time.

"my name is John ... and I... am ... CANADIAN!!!! (spin off from a beer commercial)
Yep it was a great day of relaxing, raising a pint or two to my country got off a rendition or two of "Oh Canada" lit of some fireworks.
Canadians are a funny breed, but July 1 is the one day when it is okay to be patriotic...otherwise is is an understated patriotism the rest of the year...after all we don't want to offend other countries. smirk ... typical Canadian mentality...
Well we celebrated Canada's brthday yesterday, I am celebrating mine today, and will be celebrating the US' on Wednesday ...what a great week!!

I refuses to be just an Ex...
by paradix ini stopped my activities today and started to ask myself: what now?.
could the life be this, to be an ex something, ex jw, ex preacher.?.
i think the big part of people who left the wts has arrived there in firs time looking for something more.. the big questions to be answered.

Kismet
My goal is to become and ex ex-JW. As long as I participate in these baords and dwell on that what I cannot change I am still letting the Borg affect me.
My problem is that I have come to really care for many of the people I have gotten to know at these boards and do not want to lose touch with them or drop them and their struggles to free themselves of the Borg either.
But now my participation is more about the comraderie found here than it is about finding answers or dealing with angst. I am here for the people!
damn it ... I love y'all!!!

Subtle Propaganda at DC -but Noticeable To Us
by Had Enough inas ive mentioned in other posts, i felt obligated to go to the dc (in hamilton) this weekend to help my family with my aging mom, who in my opinion just goes for the social outing because she is physically not able to stay awake for more that 1/5 th of the whole sessions except intermissions.. i know others have posted their observations of the dc they attended but id like to make an addition from things that just jumped right out at me and made me go argggghhhhh!.
and btw....i felt some of the comments made seemed to be as though they were answering their justification of some of the things being brought out on the internet, including here.. on friday, even in talks that were not about higher education, they managed to slip in their subtle propaganda, as in:.
- bob alton, said peter and john were outspoken about gods word and were unlettered and ordinary men they didnt need higher education to speak wondrous things of god.

Thanks for your observations HadEnough. I can't say I am sorry I will be missing it this year.. shudder.
Hackaw..How do you know Zenon. Interesting sort he is. I knew him well during his single days at bethel but once he got hitched he became mr loner.
A wee bit on the arrogant side.
Also HadEnough mentioned David Walker. Interesting dude. his wife died and he married one of the young nurses at bethel, marina...about half his age and he is close to 70 something now. You were bang on about his teeth BTW! :)
ahhh memories.
