  i have never felt more helpless in my life.

  my grandma is sick, dying, and there is nothing i can do.

  when i look at her, i see this echo of a woman that once was vital, strong and alive.

  In Memory of a diff.kind of Silentlamb -Pics

  most of you know about my mother, she passed away from this world 17 yrs ago tomorrow, sept. 15, 1985. her passing was very hard on my sister and me , because it was a suicide.

  she had been a witness for 16 years and even almost died standing up for the blood issue in 1983, due to a stomach ulcer, and too many asprins.

  her blood count went down to 2 and she had to be put in a lear jet to get to houston, tx.

  Your mother was very young the time she died, and it hurts me that she has not seen the realization of your life or the lives of all the people she has known. I enjoyed reading about her primarily becuase there were a lot of people that I have known like her. I wish I could add more if it wasn't for the fact that I have uncontrollable rage for an organization that plays games with people's lives.

  all right- all those out there who own pets, or have owned pets will hopefully see my point of view and understand.

  the rest of you can point and laugh at my weakness.... my cat is dying.

  she is 119 in people years, i guess it's to be expected that she go sometime, but still it sucks!

  I couldn't help but smile during your tribute to your cat because it reminds me of the special bond that I've always had with my kitty. Like you, I've always thought that my cat and I had our smilar, "bitchy" qualities. She only likes you and you're the only person whom she sleeps with. In context, your pet is 100 times better than anybody I know outside my family. Your cat will love you unconditionally (albeit, any cat will make you work for her loyalty at first) but all a cat wants is to be loved, to be fed, and, maybe taken out every once in a while. Tonight, this last night with your cat, you may think that the world sucks, but your kitty had the fortune of spending her entire life with a person she loves.

  Hurled to the Earth - Why?!?

  by Mister 8iggs in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  basically, this is my take on it.

  this isn't intended to start a flame war between believer's and non-believer's of god.. god creates angels.

  god creates man.

  I asked an elder this same question: "Why did got put Satan on earth? Why not on Venus, or Staurn?" Interestingly, he had a quick answer for me: "Because there were issues raised in the garden of eden, relating to humanity's loyalty to God in the face of Satan, Satan would have to be involved until God decided to intervene in Man's affairs, hence Satan had to be on Earth until the issues were resolved." Just thought I'd throw in that viewpoint.

  Tink,

  It's hard for me to me make a call as to your sister's (pardon my French) utra-shitty behavior to you. Sometimes the very actions of those in the congregation are as confusing and as ambiguous as the teachings themselves. Your sister is shunning you simply because you are being true to yourself, and unfortunately, the organization's version of "profiles in courage" is limited to those who only follow orders. The borg is perpetual childhood where people are so afraid...it even gets to the point where they don't know who they can be friends or family with. Jehovah's Witnesses are the queerest people on the planet, and that coming from a gay man means a lot.

  Just think about this for a second, if a bystander asked your sister why you couldn't be in the picture, she'd be scared shitless to tell the truth. What is she going to say, "becuase she left my religion?" What a petty excuse to not have anything to do with someone. And yet, you had to courage to walk away, even in the face of losing all your friends. A religion that is told to preach the word from the roof tops is also too ashamed to admit certain teachings that they hold dear to their hearts. I'm sorry, I have zero respect whatsoever for your sister and the way she has treated you. As far as I'm concerned it's her loss. She has denied her own flesh and blood.

  Oh how rotten these parents must be for not letting their children meet all the "worldly celebrities". I mean if they would have just let their kids have their own way, maybe the opportunity to meet J Lo or P Diddy would've come their way. Bastards!

  Good work Jess, Country Gal, and Valis. Thought the "elder" comment to be pretty funny as well as the "you forgot your stuff". OMG, "you forgot your stuff". What was he expecting you to do, take your signs down. LOL. "Please country gal, do what Mr. elder says and take your signs away. You may have accidently left them there. HAHAHAHAHA."
