  i do not know if anyone knew daryl tucker of vanderbuilt, congergation in michigan.

  i just got word that his wife of 28 years left him and he shot himself.

  even though he was a witness he was one of the good ones.

  "They (WT) took me out of context", Gail Bethea-Jackson video

  this is too important to bury within an old thread.

  that thread hashed over several items of interest which you may want to read by way of a refresher: .

  is gail bethea-jackson truly a doctor as the watchtower site claims?

  What never sat right with me is, WHY was this video made ten years ago?

  What was the WBTS trying to 'head off' ? I don't understand. It's like me making a video absolving me of blame for a crime I am about to be charged with.

  guys my little one is doing a "flat stanley" project..... if you've never read the kids book, it's about a boy who has been flattened by a falling bulleting board.

  written in the 60's.

  the best part about being flat, is, you can mail yourself to your friends in an envelope.

  I'm going to do the digitized version , too, what a great idea! I think I'm going to make color copies and laminate them at Kinko's and mail several at once...that way I can have a couple Stanleys in action and get lots of stamps from all over the world!

  LOL @ Iloowy "big time" I know what you mean!

  You could have used some words that really freaked them out, like "love" or "Jesus."

  the credit crunch bit into my own personal economy a few weeks ago when the weekly paper i write for had to shut down.

  they were denied a line of credit and a few of their major advertisers had their lines of credit frozen.

  i can't even tell you how depressed i've been!

  Knock.

  The room was very boomy....Their other rehearsal facility fell through (theatre) and everyone 42 ladies (plus support staff) was already in palm Springs....not really a whole lot of options...the Convention Center is where they ended up. Luckily the caliber of musicians they have knew that and so just played what they were supposed to. Just got a Skype call from her this morning--they've just put the finishing touches on it during "Tokyo Technical Week" with theatre lighting, uniforms, makeup etc. She said it looks great.

  Jim--when she wanted a drum set 7 years ago, we laughed. And bought her a practice pad and some sticks. We thought it was a passing phase. What we found out from her instructors (she has one who teaches her set and one who teaches her snare marching) was that girls can be much better drummers than boys because boys try to muscle through things and girls tend to be technically more precise. Well needless to say we are in way for way more than we bargained for. Not sure how old your daughter is now, but ONE double bass pedal (chain driven, she plays with left foot) was almost $300.

  Quandry, watching all of her practice time used to make me physically ill when I thought about the things I was 'practicing' at her age. Magazine sales.

  Dagney, it's been her dream since she was 5 to be a rock star in Japan. All I can say is run for your lives, little Japanese boys.

  Here's the snare feature....all girls on drums. She's the only one that plays set and snare and bass.

  Some here know my daughter is in Japan....in a "Broadway Show" (only it ain't Broadway LOL)
  
  I was able to catch some video at the last rehearsal we saw....Unfortunately there was no staging or anything because everything had already been shipped over there....and I don't like the acoustics cause it's not a theatre they last rehearsed in....but you get the idea.
  
  and NO! I am not old LOL. Not even 40.
  
  Most of the performers are in their late 20's so for my daughter to get chosen (she's in her late teens) was quite an honor.
  
  The clip is less than 2 minutes, but the last 20 seconds the tempo changes really allow her to play like a maniac....her hands are moving so fast it's hard to follow.
  
  Let me know if you like it!

  I can't tell you the name of the show cause then it might be a copyright infringement.
