  Here comes the Sun:

  Checked out your web page -- you are a very creative person! It amazes me that any truly creative person can survive inside the black hole called the WTBST without their alpha-waves getting all twisted in the wrong direction forever.

  I'm not into any New Age "bored-again" stuff. Or any wiccan stuff. Or any Jesus-crazed, holy-roller, god-loves-you-but-he's still-gonna-kill-you religion for that matter. I'm just a machine -- I have no "soul."

  But I am a musician, writer and artist. No, I don't have any web site. But I had a recent show of my "pornographic" neo-Saint paintings.

  Here's a quote from poet Rainer Maria Rilke: "Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves ... the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, you will gradually without even noticing it, live your way into the answer."

  Create!

  Hey RR:

  "Hey, just read today in the paper, that hispanics are the number one ethnic group in California, seems that the white man has been bumped to number two!"

  I hate to burst your bubble but you misread that. I have right in front of me the SF Chronicle. While it says that Hispanics make up nearly a third of the population of the state at 32.4 percent; "non-Hispanic whites" are 46.7 percent of the population -- so, "whites" are no longer the majority but are still the largest "group." Asians are 10.8 percent; black or African American make up 6.4 percent; and other races 3.7 percent.

  Maybe next year!

  What about those who commit suicide???

  by nogs in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the wts say that those who commit suicide commit a grave act toward god and will be everlastingly cut-off.

  where does that idea come from and where is the compassion of ones when the person just could not go on living anymore????.

  i felt like ending it alot of times, the jws made me feel ugly, stupid and unworthy individual, i lost all my confidence and never felt that anyone would want to marry me as i was so flawed.

  Hi waiting,

  I'm curious. You wrote:
  

  "I had a very close friend commit suicide in '77, and his funeral was standing room only with jw's.

  Did they have the funeral at the kingdom hall? Back in the late '80s there was an elder who committed suicide and they wouldn't let the family have a memorial at the KH. I can remember being out in service and some were discussing his death as if he were a criminal. I just kept thinking he must have been in a lot of pain to do that -- also he must have been very alone. Then there was a young sister who committed suicide -- she jumped in front of a train. Everybody was in such denial saying it was an accident (? ... as if one could trip off an overpass as a train was coming?). She'd just been in a psychiatric hospital, been very despondent, and the police report said "suicide." Again, no memorial at the KH.

  Now Foot and Mouth Hits My Families Farm.

  by Englishman in

  2. friends

  i thought that maybe i would keep everyone up to date re the foot and mouth epidemic that is sweeping the uk.. my wifes brother bob has a farm in dumfries, which is just across the scotland border.

  yesterday tony blair visited the area and commended the farmers for their courage in keeping going in the face of almost insurmountable odds.. this morning bob received a letter from the ministry of agriculture.

  his animals are within 5 miles of an outbreak of f & m, and as such they are to be slaughtered in an effort at containment.

  Thanks for the post, Englishman. It's hard to imagine how devastating this scourge is ... I hope your family and you will soon be beyond all of this.

  Hang in there,

  Nogs!

  This all sounds like too much fun! (I was always so envious as a kid -- when schoolmates and neighbors had parties and I couldn't go.) Give your little girl a big hug from me and wish her a "Happy Birthday!"

  Angharad,
  

  "Simon loves going because usually one of the kids get stuck and he has to go in and rescue them."

  
  Yeah! That Simon is so brave isn't he!

  Happy holidays to all of you!

  Angharad,

  The expression "Wacky Warehouse" is new to me. Is that a British way of saying "kingdom hall"?

  Nogs,

  I hope you and your daughter have a great time! Every kid needs to know they're special!
