i just spoke on the phone to amazing (jim whitney) who is in intensive care in a chicago hospital.
on monday he had a major heart attack, had a stint put in an artery to unblock things and may have bypass surgery.
he's comfortable enough right now, but of course will have to make some big lifestyle changes.
((((Amazing))))
Wishing you a quick recovery!

well, last night i had a jw dream.
i was inside my home when i hear the door bell ring.
i open the door, and there was an older gentlemen offering wt literature.
ThiChi,
That was interesting. Perhaps just a coincidence too... I had an assembly dream last night. I have those and KH dreams occassionally that effect me deeply the next day. I started posting about it this afternoon in personal experiences but decided to delete it before posting it. Your thread made me decide to mention it anyway. Ya never know about that synchronicity stuff...
Thanks for sharing.

an invitation:.
i would like to see a short description of your personal beliefs or religion today, after you lost faith in "the truth", from anyone here that feels for it.
I don't know yet.
would you have become a witness if not raised as one?.
for me i would say no way.
I don't know.
i'm pretty sure this question has probably been asked before but i'd like to put it out here and see what the responses are.
my doubts about the bible probably began maybe 6 or 7 years ago, they were very small ones however and i managed to supress them for quite a while.
however certain events in my life would make those events resurface.
I don't know what to believe in.
I am a lost soul.

of the "some have gotten the impression class"
i remember clearly the events in 1993 that surrounded this horrible massacre.
i worked in the town of palatine within a mile or two of the crime scene and remember how frightened i was in the immediate weeks after this event happened knowing the killer(s) was still on the loose.. they finally caught the bastards who slaughtered seven innocent livesfor some money and for the "thrill" of it.. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/showcase/chi-020518browns.story?coll=chi%2dnews%2dhed.
today, after nine years palatine and its surrounding communities are breathing a long-awaited sigh of relief.. may their victims and their families finally rest in peace.

well, my brother and his wife came over to my parent's house to visit today while i was home.. to make a long story short, while my brother and his wife were chatting with my mother in the living room, my 1 and a half year old nephew reilly walked into the kitchen where i was making a caesar salad.. he walked over towards me and was smiling, how can any normal adult resist the innocent smile of a child who is your relative?
i picked him up and gave him a huge hug, and told him i loved him.. as i was holding my nephew in my arms, my brother walked into the room.
he was smack dab in the middle of an in-depth conversation about jehovah with my mother and his wife, and i admit i was rolling my eyes listening to him spew about the "truth" and "the only means for salvation in the last days of this wicked system" even though when i confronted him with info on the un, blood, russell gravesite, rape changes, exclusivity, etc, he had no response for me because he was dumbfounded and lost for words.
Jason,
I pity your brother. You handled yourself well. I'm sorry you have to deal with such a crappy situation. (((HUGS)))
