been going to all the meetings lately and have hardly been shunned (they haven't made the announcement yet).. they've now made sure that i can't get magazines/literature anymore as they canceled my wt/awake order and they canceled literature that i had on order.
they said (elders) that it's society policy.. should the apostle kick up a stink??.

It's actually pretty easy to get most of these rags, if you really want them. There is normally a copy or two in my local laundromat, and there's always people handing them out at the local shopping mall. Just approach someone who doesn't know you. This way they're free.

in the past i have sometimes felt like i have to be the 'bad guy', so to speak, because i need to lock or delete topics, deactivate people, try and stop fights and such like - basically, telling people off and not being 'nice'.. well, apart from the odd heated debate and harsh word (and disruptive 'visit') i have not really had a great deal to do for the past month or two and it has been very nice - a pleasure to serve.. so ... i thought i should say a 'thank you' instead of a "stop it!
" for once
Cheers Simon,
It's thanks to all your hard work that the board is an enjoyable place to spend a few hours. Keep it up man, we'll raise a few toasts to you in Toronto this weekend!

we all have heard the cliche's about denial and the process.
that it is reputed to begin.. first, a person vigorously denies that something is true.. after some bargaining with god or other improbable attempts.
at escaping fate, the person becomes resigned to the inevitable.
I can't see this ever happening as long as there is still a cash flow.

i'm usually terrified of talking to american ladies on the telephone, then get completely gobsmacked when i hear that gorgeously sexy accent purring down the phone.. does anyone know what i mean?.
if you could specify, which accents from around the world do you enjoy hearing lots of?
can you use words to describe that accent?.
LOL Xander,
But your wrong about Noythern goyls, huh?

Funny how Canadian girls are the only ones without accents.

for the first time in a long time i actually have something to look forward to.
knowing that i no longer will be under the constraints of a oppresive religion has done a lot for me.
(and i have'nt left yet) .
Don't forget the kegs of beer and toga parties. Thats the best part of college (and leaving the org too)!!!

for those of you in other countries who have the mistaken belief that the canadian political scene is fair and just let me explain about what is happening in my home province of ontario at this time.. our provincial government is in the process of derugulating the hydro industry.
at present this has only affected the distribution network.
the government wants to sell the production facilities.
My problem with this whole situation isn't the actual sale of hydro,
it's the governments arrogance in ignoring a court order. I actually agree with you about why shouldn't the government be allowed to sell an asset, but could you imagine the chaos if we were all allowed to enact legislation to avoid court decisions. My whole point is that in a just society, judicial decisions must be respected by all members of society, including the legislative branch.
If this were a mere technicality, due to the wording of the original legislation; why wasn't it cleared up before it went to trial instead of wasting valuable court time.
I am aware that this has nothing to do with jw's, but lots of posts here don't. Sometimes this is just a place to vent certain frustrations.
supposing that i am deeply troubled about something.
lets say i pray to god to grant me a solution.
a short time later, my problem becomes resolved.. did god answer my prayer and tell me how to resolve my problem?.
Who's to say I didn't solve your problem?

i thought someone would post about the movie last sunday, (part 2 tonight, tuesday) "living with the dead", starring ted danson.
it is the story of james van pragh, the psychic who sees dead people.
it reminded me a little of "the sixth sense", especially when he was a little boy.. did anyone else see it?
I enjoyed it but it didn't come anywhere near the 6th Sense.

i'm a music junkie, i like pretty much all types of music.
but in particular i would have to say jazz is my favorite, but not the watered down kenny g style of jazz.
i prefer the straight ahead, hard bop type of jazz.. lately i've been really getting into psychedelia rock.
Doesn't any listen to Lawrence Welk or Zamfir anymore?
