Glander, I'm having a Kendall-Jackson Chardonnay/ AVANT, with a pizza from Dominos that I had delivered; too tired to cook tonight. Grilled Sea Bass planned for tomorrow.
designs, Chavez is a hero of mine. He did alot for the Cali farm workers. It takes quite a person to devote his/her life for the benefit of others. I even liked Jimmy Hoffa. Unions are needed and were good until others,who are not
looking our for the workers, took over.

Labored all night taking care of cancer patients. I have so much compassion for my patients. It was a grueling night; administering pain and nausea medicine all night, them drawing labs.
Slept today until 5:30 this evening. Looking forward to three days at home. I can do whatever I want for three days; reading a new book " An Anatomy of Thought, The Orgin and Machinery of the Mind." I will watch my new video
"Think Like a Man." Have to catch up with threads on JWN. It's supposed to be a wonderful week, weather wise.

Why Not To Forsake Your Christian Heritage
by Dogpatch inwhy not to forsake your christian heritage.
there is a large percentage of former jehovahs witnesses who came from evangelical or pentecostal backgrounds, before joining the witnesses.
for those who consider that a bad experience, i always suggest ending its control over your life, and take a vacation from religion.

I think there is lot of truth to what you say. I remember that the WT used to say that a lot of people who went to Church, went for socializing. People do need people to survive life. I still think of myself as a spiritual person. I'm not sure if there is a God that looks after me and knows all my thoughts, but I believe that there is intelligence behind everything I see. Why there is so much violence in the natural world, I don't know. I don't think I can be the same type of believer now that I spent all my life being. What I do know is that when I became a Catholic, the Church into which my parents had baptized me, and the rest of my sibling, shortly before becoming JWs, I found many people who would stand by you and not judge you. They did become a family as I also became a friend to them. When I needed someone, there was always someone from the Church there to assist me. I never needed physical help, but I did need spiritual and emotional help. After being told by jws, and your family, that you are no better than a dog that has returned to it's vomit, it helps to have intelligent people appreciate you and your intelligence and just make you feel that you count as a human, not just a member of a religion. The first time the priest told me I was a deep thinker, I asked, who me? As a jw, you are not allowed to think, as you know, so having a priest, who is educated, say anything positive about you and not treating you as a dummy, makes a person feel like they have worth. I still thank God for my life and the good things in my life, maybe there is no one listening, I don't know. I am still in the transitional phase. I am not really sure what I believe. As many others, I have had to adjust to the reality that I will not live forever, that I will die as all those before me have died. There is no Paradise waiting for me. I have to live the life I have now. As jws, were we ever Chistians? I thought we were but now, I am not sure what we were; publishers, d2d salespeople, assembly goers. Anyway, this is a good and thought provoking subject.

Aussie Oz, I'm so sorry for you and your daughter. That crazy cult can sure mess with your head and make you do things you would not normally do. You sound like a good father, i'ts a good thing she has you to help her through
this difficult time. I,too, cannot understand them not letting her take her personal item with her, esp her underwear! That's just crazy. Hope everything goes well for you both.

"The Hour Of Our Death" is "The Classic History of Western Attitudes Toward Death Over the Last One Thousand Years" written by Philippe Aris. I believe it was written in French and translanted into English. I have started the
book several times but I have decided to read it for sure this Fall/Winter. I believe the title is part of a Catholic prayer. As most of you, I never expected to die (the joke was on us. How could we have ever believed that).What I
have read of it is quite interesting. It talks about how some people know when they are going to die. My husband told me,two weeks before he died, that he was going to die. I told him he was just feeling bad and that he was not
going to die. I lied. I knew he was going to die too, but I did not know he would die so soon. I think when you are very ill, changes in your body make you aware that you are dying. Anyway, its not really a macabre book. After all
death is a part of life. It's just something we thought we would never have to deal with.
