  well, after being frustrated since last saturday trying to get the local newspaper to do an article about silentlambs and the up coming march, hubby got a hold of the local tv station and they have just left after interviewing him and i about our involvement with the silentlambs and speaking up for that issue.

  they didnt want to film us in front of the kingdom hall so we had them come to our house and do the filming.

  (they filmed us in our office looking at the silentlambs website and then holding the latest wt 10/15/02, with the front cover saying who is behind all evil?

  i wanted to save my 911th post for 9/11 and do a tribute.

  obviously, i'm almost a week early but what the heck...i feel like i need to make my tribute today.. i was at work (probably like most of you on the east coast) when it happened.

  my wife was born and raised in brooklyn, ny and her parents' apartment had an awesome view of the wtc.

  Mr. Biggs - Thank you for posting this thread. I have set one of the pics to my desktop.

  I don't think all that was and is because of 9/11 can be thought of or felt in one day. I think it is good to be a week in advance in order to digest the thoughts/feelings/emotions/reality one year later.

  Isn't it hard to believe a year has gone by? Perhaps for our generation, that day will always seem like yesterday, a month ago.

  I hope people will remember how we, humanity, pulled together at that time. I hope the younger generation will learn to not wait until a crises to show that spirit of unselfishly being there for others.

  Tara - I've been wondering about them myself. The last I read was that a special forces group were going in after them (and also, IMHO, to put people on the ground due to it being tied to Abu Sayaff (sp) )

  http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.aspx?id=35312&site=3

  I haven't heard nor read anything about them since that. Check newspaper article mentioned in above thread.

  what happens to the everlasting paradise when the sun goes out?

  is jehovah going to refuel it or what?

  i don't ever recall seeing anything about this.. there's got to be a couple of good "new light" jokes in this.

  New light - A space ship hiding behind a comet will arrive just before the earth becomes uninhabitable in Noah's Ark fashion and rescue the dubs and take them to another universe where the green grass grows all around all around...

  HAS SEPTEMBER 11th IMPACTED YOUR LIFE?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a number of news articles this week have centered on that fateful day of 9--11--.

  many experts have expressed concern that people seem to be forgetting september 11th.

  one article claimed that americans are much less concerned about the potential for more attacks as they are concerned over the economy.there was even a temporary bump in the organization, because of the fears associated with terrorism.

  9/11 had an impact around the world. All nations and religions were hit that day. Here in Sackville, Nova Scotia, Canada - thousands and thousands of passengers were diverted due to the strikes. We had the opportunity to welcome and ease the stay of those passengers, and many friendships were the result.

  In my youngest's school, there were 204 passengers from Singapore Airlines staying there, with students staying the whole time to make them as comfortable as possible. We offered our home, but there were no takers, yet it was good to reach out to them. The President of Singapore Airlines was the keynote speaker at my daughter's graduation class. He told them that in this world of uncertainty, they have already made a difference and shown that they can rise to the challenge in peaceful ways. Ironically, there were 204 passengers housed in her school, and 204 graduates. The grads were made to realize that just because they were young, did not mean that their efforts could not bring change, or that they will be forgotten. When the Airline was re-routed here, he said that their head office had to look us up on the map. Not anymore. He also thanked the community here, as in our other schools and stadium, we welcomed even more people from all over the world, and took care of all their needs.

  This was the positive side of humanity; when borders and races and languages are erased and we are all just people helping people. It brought common sense to the fore - for awhile.

  While the attacks themselves happened on American soil, so many nations and religions lost their lives,even Muslims. After 9/11, I looked into the Islamic religion and was relieved to find that this horror was against their beliefs. In fact, there was a wave of interest in Islam. I believe that knowledge is key to finding bridges instead of building walls and borders of ignorance.

  9/11 changed the world. It threatened our 'personal security'. It changed war. It hit the economy, and it has brought uncertainty. The numbers of the date are not lost on me. 911.

  I hope it is eventually made a day of mourning simultaneously in all those nations hit. I only wish that people could come together like that daily and not just in a crises. In all the days since and the war rhetoric in the news, I hope it is the humanity that people showed in the days of and following that is remembered, along with those who we lost as result of the attacks.

  TRICKY SITUATION

  i got new neighbours a couple of months ago.

  to get straight to the point, i'm sure the husband is knocking his wife about.

  i can hear him shouting and screaming and loud thuds and bangs, sometimes late at night and even last week he was so loud that he actually woke me up at 7.30 in the morning with his behaviour.. i really feel intimidated by him.

  Simon - I never called you ignorant. One doesn't need experience in these things to use common sense...a little of the 'what if it was me or someone I love' approach.
