C.O.B.E-It is probably a relief to you to no longer have to hide in fear of what your wife will say should you slip up on something said. How wonderful that she is supporting you. I wish you much happiness.

outsmart-I am so sorry that your family life has deteriorated so badly. Your wife is truly behaving abominably. Your poor children are stuck in the middle. It is good that you recognize that your need to treat your depression, I hope it helps you to regain your zest for life.
Your emailing your lawyer with a copy of the custody brochure was an excellent pro-active move.

Absalom prefigured young JWs who fist bump, play video games, and take pictures of themselves with the opposite sex
by JimmyPage injehovah's witnesses top the list in not being able to hold on to their younger members.
so what do they do to combat this?
do they go out of their way to change things to keep the next generation, their only real hope of long run survival?

Isn't it wonderful to know that the whole essence of Absalom's being was simply to prefigure 21st century teenager? What spiritual enlightenment.

Any suggestions for a 'quick' tour of Yellowstone National Park??
by AudeSapere in.
i know the park is huge and i won't have much time there, but in a couple of weeks i will have a day or a day and a half to explore this part of the country.. i will be busy at big sky resort for a few days and leaving from bozeman on tuesday.
that leaves all day monday and possibly part of sunday to explore.. does anyone have any suggestions for maximizing my free time in yellowstone?

I agree with Glander, you can see a lot of really nice geysers, mud pots and so forth at the Old Faithful area. If you cross the main highway at Old Faithful, there are spectacularly huge steaming pools. Mammoth Hot Springs can be a definite bust, they often dry up due to seismic activity, but at other times they re-activate and are breathtaking, Mammoth is also out of the way from most areas of the park. Old Faithful area often has buffalo laying right next to the trails. Hayden Valley is wonderful if you are looking for animals. We saw a grizzly bear, a black bear, antelope, a lone wolf trying to get an antelope, elk, bison and eagles all in one day there. Hayden is called the "American Eden".
Note: If you want to see moose, keep looking in the pond and marshy areas, especially if there are young willows growing, they love young willows!
Have a great time, whatever you decide to do!

I molested the bees & lost
by nuthouse escapee ina week ago i was mowing the grass with a push mower and accidently mowed over a ground bee/wasp nest.
got stung several times.
thought it was black flies biting my ankles until they got up inside my shorts and got me twice on one finger.

Ground bees, ugh! They are sneaky little stingers, learned the hard way with them. I'm glad you are okay now and can laugh about it!

cobaltcupcake-I believe the horrid Lazarus lay sleeping in a cold stone grave was song #53 in the magenta song book. I was fascinated with it as a little kid, but then again, I was always reading about mummys and human sacrafices and other macabre subjects.
Q uendi-seeing as how you seem to be a JW music historian, wasn't the song Forward You Witnesses written by JW's who just got out of the concentration camps in Germany?
