  just to let everyone on here who knows my dad, that he is seriously ill, and unfortunately on life support.

  he has renal and respiratory failure as a result of the quickest onset of pneumonia i have ever seen... it came on in the early hours of this morning.

  he is waiting for an intensive care bed but the nearest one is 200 miles away.

  my cousin passed away last week from cancer at the age of 49. the cancer spread so fast it took our family by surpise.

  we figured she had a couple of years instead of months.

  she left 4 children(3 were baptised and 1 was disfellowshipped a couple of years ago).

  Even more terrible is knowing that this is not an isolated event. It's happened so many times and in different parts of the world so there's no way that Borg apologists can make the defence that it's an isolated event, it isn't, it's part of WT behaviour.

  Will they ever figure out that the 144,000 are figurative, like the rest of Revelation?

  They're between 'a rock and a hard place' on that one. If they did acknowledge that the number 144,000 was symbolic then the whole "Great crowd" doctrine falls. Remember that Joe Ratherflawed introduced that doctrine to meet the embarrassing position they were in when it was obvious that the number of JWs was fast approaching that number, so what did he do? Voila! A new class apart from the heavenly one. Simple, a sleight of hand worthy of Houdini.Never mind that it also made sacrilege an art form in the Borg, the most heinous being the Great Rejection Feast held each year when they sanctimoniously reject Christ!!!!!!!!!!!

  as i sit here addressing my xmas cards for this year and think of all the people who have helped me on my jouney this past 7 years and especially the past 3, i thought i would post a thread letting people who knew me know how i am and what i have been up to this past year.. .

  it will soon be 2 years since i moved from florida to atlanta, ga. even though it was going back to full time work, i love my job and am glad i have one.. .

  i acknowledge that my therapy has helped me to get my mind untangled from being raised in a high control group and from being married to an alcoholic.

  The federal government will spend $45.6 million on a bid to bring the soccer World Cup to Australia in 2018.

  The commonwealth says the money will be spent over three years in an effort to bring the world's biggest sporting event Down Under.

  "Today's announcement sends a clear message to the football world that Australia is serious about hosting the 2018 FIFA World Cup ," Prime Minister Kevin Rudd said in a joint statement with Sports Minister Kate Ellis and Tourism Minister Martin Ferguson.

  The government will work in partnership with the Football Federation Australia (FFA) and state and territory governments in a united approach to building the strongest bid possible for the 2018 event, they said.

  The FFA will formally lodge the Australian bid by the end of 2010 with a decision regarding who will host the 2018 world cup expected to be made in 2011.

  That'd be nice if it happened. Then, all youse lot would have to do the travelling!
