Flower,
The names sound familiar-did they attend Wyndmoor Hall (on Mt. Airy Ave-near Stenton & Mt. Airy)? That is the one in Mt. Airy I am more familiar with.

I was born and raised in Philly, went to Hall's in Mt. Airy area and Montgomery County area. (this was in late 70's early 80's) Currently, I am in Maryland.

what is your favorite verse of song?.
what bands do you like?.
what are some of your all time favorite song?.
Rich Mullins is my faveorite CCM artist. Here are some of the verses I like from 2 songs he has written:
"Brothers Keeper"-
And I will be my brother's keeper
Not the one who judges him
I won't despise him for his weakness
I won't regard him for his strength
I won't take away his freedom
I will help him learn to stand
And I will, I will be my brother's keeper
and from "Let Mercy Lead"-
Let mercy lead
Let love be the strength in your legs
And in every footprint that you leave
There'll be a drop of grace
If we can reach
Beyond the wisdom of this age
Into the foolishness of God
That foolishness will save
Those who believe
Although their foolish hearts may break
They will find peace
And I'll meet you in that place
Where mercy leads
My tastes vary from DC Talk, FFH, Nicole C. Mullen, Phillips, Craig & Dean, to Steven Curtis Chapman! But Rich is the one I listen to most often!

i saw his wife at a mini-market.
After reading this, hearing about the rumors about you, I can't believe I used to feel guilty for watching "As the World Turns" "Three's Company" or 80's MTV!
Tsk, tsk, little did I know what the "friends" were doing![8>]

for my first 9 years of life, i never experienced the death of a loved one.
i also never experienced the birth of a sibling.
however, both would come within days of each other.
Biggsy, I had forgotten about the "Disco" towel-that is too funny!
My, my, my...I never knew about Fresh Prince and DJ Jazzy or all those parties and GIRLS! OH MY!!!!

the wt, 2-1-02 says on p. 15, that only after judas was gone did jesus institute the memorial of his death.
after researching all 4 gospel accounts, this is simply not true.
luke 22:21 makes it very clear that judas was, in fact, present and active in partaking of the bread and wine.
Excellent!!! I have been out for 16 years and I don't think I ever thought about this point!

the reason why i wanted to be a protector for my little brother was because of what happened to me and my older brother when we were kids.. you see, we had a cousin (about 5 years older than me) who was abusive toward me and my older brother (4 years older than me).
Biggs,
Fascinating! I am finding out things about you I never knew about!
Plus, I never knew you were such an excellent writer! Ofcourse I am well aware of that "trademark" sense of humor!

Dan,
Hi! I'm new here, but I've been out for 16 years now! I remember feeling as you do right now! I can remember the first time I stepped foot in a church with a new friend-it was a Catholic church-and I still had all the baggage from my JW past. You most likely will have those types of issues when you first start attending a church, just remember "baby steps". Keep on searching the Bible for yourself, and decide what it is that is most important to you about a fellowship you would want to be involved with. It will get easier with the passage of time and as you make new friends. Hang in there!

my mom was studying with a woman named cheryl who lived around the corner from us.
cheryl's daughter was the same age as me.
Hey Biggs! How's it going?
Enjoying your story!
