Terry, your reaction to that bully reminds me of Ralphie's reaction to his bully in "A Christms Story." Sometimes we've just had enough of someone's bullying. Good for that woman in Iran also. What's wrong with those men
in Iran? Do they not have the ability to control their reactions to a women's curves?

I am a female. I have given birth to two children. So I am bonified female.
i just went up to see my friend who was in a care center.
i went in his room and he was dead, i had to call the nurse who said she was with him 15 minutes before.
i was in walmart the day before and saw an old school mate who's mother was a jw and he said he had cancer and had two years to live according to the doctor.
So sorry to hear of all your problems. I hope things get better for you.

...is the name of a video i will shortly be uploading to youtube.. but can you guess the identity of the person who coined this unusual phrase?!.
who will be the first jwn poster to guess his or her identity?!.
i can hardly cope with the suspense!!
Excellent video.. They, the r/f, cannot see that the GB is equating itself with God/Jehovah. Independent thinking is thinking outside of what the GD thinks.

don't know why but was thinking of 2 timothy 3:16 last night (you know 'all scripture is inspired of god etc').
i was thinking this scripture is used by the jws as well as others to say that the bible is the word of god.
however, as the bible is a construct several hundred years after the death of christ each writer was unaware of the bible as a whole.
I always wondered the same thing since the Bible had not been put together at the time Paul said those words. I assumed the "scripture" referred to the OT that they did have on hand.

we got a new dog and he needs a name!
he was abandoned by his family in their back yard when they moved and then was rescued by animal rescue.
he's been fostered for the last 4 months and his foster mom called him martin.
I like the name Whiskey.

your warm and supple skin delights my touch, .
and the gliding of my fingers up and down your .
spine creates within my rising spirit an awareness .
CoCo, what beautiful and sensuous writing. Like rvw, I also did not know where you were taking us. I also love books. I want to hold the book in my hand and enjoy the whole sensation of reading and savoring the turning of the pages as I anticipate what will be reveled next. I do not read fast on purpose because I want to relish what I read. Last year's Journal from Barns and Nobel featured several different book's covers and gave background infromation about them. It was an interesting read. I have missed your posts of late. Your writings are always such a pleasue to read.

Don Quixote? What a beautiful dog, I cannot believe anyone would abandon him. You are a treasure to have taken him in and rescued him. I have a Chiweenie, a cross between a Chihuahua and a Dachshund, but he thinks he is a Doberman. My son named him Tony, he looks and acts like a Mafia enforcer, short and stout, kind of like Luca Brasi, the enforcer from the "Godfather," my favorite movie of all time. I call him Tony the Nose because he uses his nose the hide his treats in the blankets and to nudge me all the time. I also have a miniature black Poodle. His name is Little Brother.
What breed of dog is your other dog? Looks like he is curious about the new member of the family.

in matthew 25:45 it says :"he will reply, 'i tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.
' " since this prophesy is happening during jesus second coming ,these least ones must be a specific group of people .your thoughts please ?.
I don't believe that these "least of these" is necessarily a "group of people" just as the fds is not a group of people. If anything, I think it means anyone who is considered "least" by the majority of people. Maybe the poor or those
without power. Some people may be considered "least" at some time in their life and not at another time. I believe Jesus is letting us know that it is not only the powerful or those with means in this world that should be given
consideration but we should be concerned with those who have nothing and no way of repaying us for anything we do for them. These people are valuable to Jesus even though they may not be valuable to the world in general.
