PRINCESS - THAT'S GREAT!!!

I am not fond of running (maybe someday it'll grow on me) - but I am an avid amateur cyclist. I am doing my first century ride (100 miles) at Lake Tahoe on June 1, with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training! The Rock & Roll Marathon is also one of the events that LLS fund-raisers participate in, while raising money for research & treatment of blood-related cancers. Like marathons, triathlons or centuries, it's a little scary at first - but I am proud of myself for rising to the challenge. This will be a fantastic personal best for me, as well the satisfaction of raising money for a great cause. For those of you who may be interested in getting involved with the Team In Training, go to http://www.teamintraining.org

And if any of you are interested in donating - and help me reach my fund-raising goal - please e-mail me, & I'll send you my donation request letter:

WAY TO GO, PRINCESS!!!

Disfellowshippees Go Public w/Photos! Courageous Testimonials Online

by Derrick in

the human rights abuses of our spiritual brothers and sisters by elders shepherding the flock, leading to countless ruined families and suicides, cries clear to heaven:.

http://www.disfellowshipped.org/testimonies_page_3.htm.

i recall the unforgettable claim by an elder that "each elder on every judicial committee has no moral responsibility for suicides after they disfellowship wrongdoers in the christian congregation and bears no burden of conscience for disfellowshippees or their families.

Kingdom Hall Alarm codes.

by JEMIMAH in

friends

just back from renovating my holiday home in the south west of france.

beats yorkshire anyday.... anyway thought i would share this little account with you.. as most are of you are aware, the alarm code for about 90% of kingdom halls is 1914 (nineteen fourteen).. i t seems though that for the last 8 or 9 quick builds or refurbs in the uk, the brother who installed the numbers into the alarm control panel used the numbers 1975 and explained the number as one nine seven five not the the easier version (ninteen seventy five).. trivial joke or honest mistake, either way this poor brother has been rumbled and has to to meet with 2 elders investigating on behalf of a body of elders to see whether an apostasy charge will be brought.. he is supposed to be meeting with them over the next few days.. .

a very sad jem, who is sick of the whole elder abuse game.

Too funny! 1914 WAS the ADT alarm code for the last KH I attended in Brooklyn!

Shave for a longer life

by ashitaka in

friends

to live a long life, keep shaving.

to find your approximate date of death, measure your telomeres.

these are the pieces of dna that protect the ends of our chromosomes and control how fast our cells age, and scientists think shortened telomeres cause early death.

I am screwed!

Hey, El Kabong - thanks for reminding me how funny Dr. Demento was!

I have a sad story to tell you
It may hurt your feelings a bit
Last night when I walked into my bathroom
I stepped in a big pile of......
Shaving Cream. Be nice and clean
Shave every day and you'll alway's look clean

Although, that last word is KEEN, not clean.

Even MORE Things Eating at MY Mind

i like big cars, big boats, big motorcycles, big houses and big campfires.

i believe the money i make belongs to me and my family, not some governmental stooge with a bad comb-over who wants to give it away to crack addicts for squirting out babies.

guns do not make you a killer.

Frank, Jesse would indeed be at the door. ; That is because for years every one of the above were only for whites. Beauty pageants, magazines, etc. were the sole possession of white society and even though blacks lived among you, they were virtually invisible in society. ; They were not afforded any of the privileges that whites had. ; Blacks could not use whiye toilets or drink at white water fountains or join white beauty pagents. (I wonder if that were true today would you be as vocal?) Blacks could not go to your schools and in some places it was even considered insolence on the part of blacks to look you in the eye. It was a lilly white world and we had better learn to live in it.

Amen, Gary1914 (and StinkyPantz, too)!

In the Republican version of a perfect world, all the above is blanked out, forgotten; and then comments can be made about how minorities speaking out for themselves & taking a stand against an unjust and immoral system are "whiners" or "troublemakers". Conservative, White America can be summed up in two words: DEEP DENIAL.

I don't think being a minority makes you a victim of anything except numbers. The only things I can think of that are truly discriminatory are things like the United Negro College Fund, Jet Magazine, Black Entertainment Television, and Miss Black America. Try to have things like the United Caucasian College Fund, Cloud Magazine, White Entertainment Television, or Miss White America and see what happens. Jesse Jackson will be knocking down your door.

Ah... true Republicanism. How refreshing (NOT).

Your Favorite Assembly Dramas

by RubaDub in

jw

i was thinking back about some of the more memorable dramas at the district assemblies.

i think my favorite was the one about lot and his wife ... the one where she looked back at the city and turned to a pillar of salt.

i also liked the one some time back about the wicked witch of the east and wicked witch of the west ... especially the part where the building fell on the wicked witch of the east because she was unfaithful ... and i liked the way it ended when the entire family including her uncle and next door neighbor were able to pioneer together.
