as long as i can remember even though we didn't vote as jw's i've always philosophically vascillated between being either a closet democrat or independent.
i still don't vote, but when things come up in the media, i find i do have some pretty straight-forward opinions on various items.
what parties views in your country do you seem to vibe with and why?
Liberal Democrat, that's me.

found this article interesting.
what do you guys think?
it seems to be opposed topretty much everything i've read so far.. .
Richard, uh, Drahcir - you are completely off-base on this. Japanese-Americans and Jews in America have been granted reparations, why not African-Americans? It's not like they own and operate casinos like the Native Americans. I say, this country needs to pay up! I'm with BigBoi on this one...My 2 cents...

doesn't it feel good to not be a jw at this point in history?
through the fear of the last few days, i do have comfort from scripture about my eternal salvation through jesus (as a witness you never felt secure with god--don't miss a meeting or field service for long or you're out), but also because my husband and i can display our american flag on our cars and in front of our house to support our country!.
as americans, we will not stand for terrorism and i'm proud to be in this country.
Frightmare/Nightmare:
Jackasses like you are the ones with no "acuity". I don't consider myself a superpatriot, but I am flying the flag as a show of solidarity and support, for those who died, those still to be found, and the thousands of families who are without their loved ones. It also symbolizes the spirit of America, and what makes us great - our ability to pull together under the most extreme circumstances. Perhaps if you were involved in some way, you wouldn't be showing us how ignorant and insensitive you are.

hi, folks.
i know nytelecom works nearby (across the river?
), but i can tell you all that today has been (and will continue to be for a loooong time) the single most bizarre, surreal event i have witnessed.. i work in an office building at 26 broadway in manhattan, about 10 blocks from the world trade towers.
Also, Lycos has the right spirit!

Thanks Kat. I'll be heading to the Jacob Javits Center in Manhattan, where rescue volunteers are being mobilized. Thanks for your support and kind words!

Hope this move the thread to the top.
Hi, everyone - I am home!
I am just now getting to this site, and reading all of the posts that came after I left work on the 11th. Thanks again for all the hugs and kind words - they were greatly appreciated!!!
Tatiana and Kat: So sorry about your experiences. Any word yet?
The las t 2 days have been indescribable. When I was writing my last posts from work, and during the entire walk up 42 Street/Grand Central, I was OK. But after I boarded my train to go home, the weight of all I had seen and experienced came crashing down on me, and emotion just welled up. Off and on, I cried during my ride home - thinking of the thousands who had surely lost their lives and of their families. The magnitude of what had occured in New York and Washington overwhelmed me. When my fiancee picked me up at the train station in Larchmont, I hugged her - sobbing - and held on to her and told her I loved her a hundred times. I was a wreck. The news footage I have seen over the last couple of days has not been easy to watch, but I am determined to assist any I can. We are giving blood, and I am volunteering for Search & Rescue efforts through the Red Cross. I feel that since I was lucky enough to not die that day, I owe it to those who may still be alive and trapped in that pile of rubble to try and find them. The amount of support and spirit of pulling together is incredible here! No Quick-Build KH project EVER felt like this - you actually feel like you're accomplishing something important!
Well, off to bed for me now - I'll check back with you all tomorrow. God bless!

Good to know NYTelecom is safe, too. I am leaving now, as most everyone in my office has already left. EMS is passing out dust masks to all who on the streets. There is limited train service, so I am walking up to Grand Central Station instead of taking my usual #5 subway train there. I think it will be SO jam-packed, I may get there faster if I walk. Then, it's MetroNorth to Larchmont, where I live, in Westchester county - about 20 miles northeast of Manhattan. I'll check in here from my home computer - don't know when we'll be able to return to Manhattan.
Thanks again, folks. I appreciate all the kindness shown to me here. Let's all pray or send good vibes to the familes who have lost loved ones, co-workers and friends in this horrible disaster.
