One body has been officially identified. It was the youngest, 21 years, Joshua Howard. He was wearing a life vest, apparently also lashed to a cooler. Very sad.

Same old stuff:

My grandmother told my Mom she would never graduate school in this system, or get married and have kids.

My Mom told me the same.

I thought it but never said it to my kids.

I now have grandchildren and I will never say it or think it.

Too bad we just can't be Christians without stupid dates.

Disctrict conventions and hot days

by JH in

as far as i can remember, the district convention was always the last week of june or first week of july in my region.

in either case it was always very hot out, and where we gathered for the convention it was always very hot there also.

this year would have been no exception since it was in the upper 80's and lower 90's since a few days here.. i can remember a couple of times when the temperature inside the olympic stadium in montreal was about 90f.

Rose Bowl, Pasadena CA. 1963, 8 days in the sun, cant believe the physical stress on families, not to mention the expense involved. Then Knorr rambled on for two extra hours into the darkness. My poor Dad then had to drive 10 hours all night, then go to work (Mon) at noon. Unbelievable.

when i was a kid, my grandfather used to go to the local radio station and do a radio show called "things people are thinking about.

" there were two characters, mr robbins and mr lee.

mr robbins was the good guy if i recall.

I remember it. It was in the early 60's. It was a 15 min live program that

also included a narrator. My dad was on the show, it aired where I lived

at 630am Sundays.

.

i have read that some of you here who leave the truth, have still your wife inn the religion, some of you have devorse beaucaurse you left and she still inn.. this must be a very difficult situaition.

myself have a very devoted jw wife,she is all that you here say jw are not, always ther fore the peopel who need help.always have here door open fore evryone .. go a lot in sevice, take care of evrything in the home , try to help evryone.. when i tell here some of this stuff, i see the brightness in here eyes was going down, happiness was perhaps littel bit away, now i must ask you who have been in this situation, can it realy be worth the price, to see your loved ones bee unhappy, and even perhaps lost ther hope and happiness..

Happyman,

When I used to go from door to door and I came across someone bubbling over with enthusiasm over a new found faith, I treated them with a great deal of respect knowing that their faith was in an infancy stage. I could never say a thing to break their faith.
