Hey NYC dude.. re:

3. We don’t need any other countries to have a World Series. And we always win it!

need I remind you of 1993 AND 1994 when a Canadian team were the World Series Champions....

Deaf Mute Disfellowshippings

anyone know of anyone who has been disfellowshipped who has deaf and mute impairment?

how did they cope and what support network platform is there for them on leaving?.

peace.

In Toronto as well as in some of the major US cities there are Deaf congregations or at least deaf groups associated with a local hall wherein all meetings are signed etc. They also have a section reserved at the conventions for sign language translation.

There are always elders assigned to these groups so judicial committees would always have at least one elder or someone to translate for the 'accused." If this didn't happen I would hate to be the local elders involved should the media ever discover this...hint hint.

Gopher:

Thanks for the greeting. I am disappointed tho that despite my year of training you while living there you still have these misconceptoins of Canada.

The Queen is strictly a figurehead kept around by those who appreciate tradition. The Monarchy has no holds or controls over tis country.

Our Last Words.....?

the reality of impending death is our one certainty.

if we are fortunate enough to live for 70 years, we will have lived for 840 brief months.. the womb to the tomb is a rapid journey.

i once wandered through a cemetery in a town called rochester in the uk and always having a fascination for last words, i happened upon the c19th tombstone of a man who had been fatally struck while playing cricket!

For COMF:

Captain of my Fate, lies here at rest
on the waves of H20 he'd often crest
At times a jerk, too quick with words
but how he regaled us of his quest for 'birds'
To live at his best he'd always try
sleep well my friend, we're thrilled you stayed dry

Of course I have to do one for myself too.....

Here lies Kismet a mod to the end
many a participant he viewed as a friend
Despite this marker, he was not defeated
He didn't die, he was deleted

Awww Venice!!! That isn't very nice. How would you feel if I said that about you. "They're not real" {{evil smirk))

Canada is the balance between British elitism (stoic stiff upper lip and all that) and American arrogance (we're the #@$&^ best everything in the world).

Balance is always better than the two extremes! ...
