My respect stand up comedy is putting yourself on the line. My favorite stand up comedian was Bill Hicks. I love Tommy Cooper does he qualify as " Stand up?" Dustin Hoffman was brilliant as Lenny Bruce a must see movie.

Picasso said art is " the spider on the wall" and to me this means their is no such thing as bad art. Art is in the eye of the beholder. Any part time artists want to display their " spider on the wall?

I thank every individual poster for their kind replies. I spent many years in my congregation, loyalty and friendship were not repaid. When I left I never even got a thank you. Never even a phone call. We are all better off if we can wash our hands of such an organisation. Thank you everyone for acknowledging my contribution to the board. " slidin Fast" yes I got to see the Vasa in Stockholm.
I would like to conclude that if as a child you had a dream, mine was to become a professional footballer, and if like me you can pinpoint the moment you realised your dream wasn't going to happen. And if like me you remember the sence of disappointment, well at this moment I can say dreams can come true if you want them to, but if you want them to its up to you. We just need to concentrate on the sugar cube we drop in the coffee, see the little things not the big things. Because the little things are really the big things. Friendship and helping each other on an Internet forum is one of those little things that is really one of those very big things.

Firstly thanks to Cofty & Smiddy for the kind words on my " Final Post"
This post is simply to say over two months have passed since my last post and since then I have with my wife and son seen Elton John live, visited Stockholm, Berlin, and most importantly appreciated " The natural beauty of my neighbourhood" with out even thinking about the watchtower. I have also attended 3 Watford football matches with my son and made better relationships with my parents, discovered Harvey's draught beer and made new friends in my local pub. But the best is the quality time with my wife ( Anne Mari) and my son ( Orlando)
I met a former friend in the " truth" he was doing a gas and safety certificate for me on a rental property I own. He confided in me he is trapped because his wife and kids are so indoctrinated. He is also a Watford f.c supporter but whilst I attended with my son ,the early kick off on Sunday prevented him. He had a meeting to attend.
Reason for the post, who am I to judge anyone? I am not interested in converting or debating on a persons faith or athalisam. Why do I say that? Well that terrible plane crash that wiped out the Brazilian football team, co pilot, and journalists. The families may need a faith, a belief to survive. We must live as we can, be ourselfs and maybe the only truth is life and truth are terrible. As for the individual we make the most of it. I am such a lucky bastard I love my wife and child so much and they love me. This is enough....I hope it continues forever. But life is unpredictable and what I believe, what ever you believe, if you can be by yourself and watch a sugar cube dissolve in your coffee and be content your a lucky person.
i hope we all find our sugar cube.

It's time for me to move on. I would like my leave with a good reason why we should leave J.W. organisation.
From my son a birthday card:-
" To my dad. To the person that always stands up for me. Happy Birthday Michael. With lots of love and kisses and hugs" ect ect Orlando.
Such a simple gestures of love should not be taken for granted, yet as a witness such love was denied us and our children. Don't let the bastards win...

Science my son and I.
by The Rebel ina recent o.p origins of the universe bought home to me with ovbious clarity that i have no scientific background.
this realization was rather embarrassing for myself to admit, particularly as my child of 11 has began asking some rather intersting questions on scientific matters.
anyway i have subscribed to " scientific america" because i find it a great magazine for those with no scientific background.

COFTY.....thanks for the Khan Academy recommendation, my son and I spent hours yesterday on the computer science learning to write codes using the Processing language. We both can't wait to continue tonight...with a delivered pizza and coke.
Wish I had these opportunities as a kid.

Not sure the point I am trying to make, except any poster posting on the board could pass away at anytime. Now I am not saying we are " dead men walking" but I think I am deeply skeptical of elevating strong posters who passed away, and failing to recognize the many posters who were less prominent and had less impact but sadly now R.I.P.
What I am saying is when I was at the K.H, I noticed how those that were not baptized were treated when they passed away. I always remember a strong family in the truth had a son who died from illness, and as the son was not baptized and had his problems, it was as though the congregation thought him not worthy of mourning. I never understood why his parents didn't tell the congregation to f...k o..ff. I mean the son wasn't even allowed a "proper" witness funeral. I noted his mother was devastated by her sons death, and I won't judge her, but the way she was treated by the elders and congregation at this time really pissed me off. I visited her with my wife many times, but I once visited her on the ministry with an elder and she was smoking,or at least the cigarette packet was clearly visible...as we left I said "those cigarettes are between us" and I believe they were.

it's a shame the unthinkable needs thinking about, and we will all be added someday to the list of those who contributed to this board and now R.I.P. Yet hopefully for most of us we will part company from the board and find a happy life before that inevitability happens. However the contribution of a posters posts can be more meaningful and worthwhile, than they realized. It would be a nice thought if those posters who "Phadero" mentioned in her O.P made such a contribution to a strangers life in hyper-space. It kind of makes a life worthwhile..
