this plea for help goes out to anyone in the st louis mo area.. okay this is the situation, my father and sister are both disfellowshipped and have been sharing an apt.

since my mom and dad have been separated.. my dad was being kind to my sister who was in need after her divorce.. she was the typical jw just, high school education then depending on a man.

dad agreed to let her live rent free till jan when she graduates from dental school.

Ranchette, I'm so glad your sister is okay. I did actually contact my dad, but he wasn't in St.Louis. He said he would have helped, but has been in Myrtle Beach ever since the WTC incident. He drove all the way. He has a condo there and is thinking about moving permanently.

You know, it makes me so angry the way some families treat each other.
I often see that saying, on scarves, keychains, buttons...it's become a cliche..."WWJD"? ("What Would Jesus Do?")But, I swear, even if he was a myth, his actions always showed love. Only love. To sinners, prostitutes, handicapped, sick, dying. And these were NOT his family. How much more so should we treat those of our flesh and blood?

Truly the family who took her in is the epitome of what "Christian" means.

So, who REALLY were/are the "Nephilim"?

may you all have peace!.

once again, i have received a 'writing' on my heart, which i am directed to share with any and all who will 'receive' it.. for many years, the wtbts and others have taught the "nephilim" to be the offspring of angels who had relations with the daughters of men, half-breed beings that wreaked havoc in a violent way in the earth during the days of noah, just prior to the flood.

that, dear ones... is an error... and a lie.. by the spirit of my father, the holy one of israel, jah of armies, that is in me by means of christ, i say to you that the "nephilim"... are spirit creatures, ancient beings... 'of old'... princes from the spirit realm, the 'wicked spirit forces'... that came to the earth to 'fell' earthling man in the days of noah.. these being are those that i saw standing to the left of my father's throne, shrouded in darkness, and 'egging' on the 'battle' between to the two brilliant cherubs on the ark, the 'arkangels', which i related to you previously on h20.

(I mentioned the web site on H20 a while back, and got a lot of negative, close-minded responses)

Dan, if you don't want to post the link, could you email me with it? I'm really interested in reading it. I like to make up my own mind as to what I believe, but always try to keep an open mind.

I'd appreciate it.....

Yes, Dan, I'd really like to read this. Is it on the net? Can you post a link?

Thanks....

Cafe nicknames

by Esmeralda in

hey gang :).

i've noticed some nicknames bantered around (seven=princess, bittermango=little one) wondered what all the cafe gang calls eachother and how they got those nicknames?.

just wondering on a pretty sunday afternoon...

Tatiana

You're correct, Mark. I do live in Chicago. Does Stephen live near?

Anyway, this was one of the first songs I learned to play. I had an old acoustical guitar that I bought with my allowance money. A young man started a bible study with my mother. I was 14, He was 25. I had a serious crush. He used to play in a band, and decided to teach me. He sang this to me and I fell in teenage love. He taught me to play "House of the Rising Sun". But, I only played by ear. If I listened to him, I could play it.

Sad to say, my mom thought he was too much of a worldly influence, and stopped the lessons. My cheap, little guitar stood in the corner for years. But, he never left my heart. I can still hear him singing....

Dream Weaver
Gary Wright

I've just closed my eyes again
Climbed aboard the dream weaver train
Driver take away my worries of today
And leave tomorrow behind

(chorus)
Ooh dream weaver
I believe you can get me through the night
Ooh dream weaver
I believe we can reach the morning light
Fly me high through the starry skies
Maybe to an astral plane
Cross the highways of fantasy
Help me to forget todays pain

(chorus again)

Though the dawn may be coming soon
There still may be some time
Fly me away to the bright side of the moon
And meet me on the other side

(chorus again, then fade out with the following
repeated several times...)

So much wasted, so much lost....because of religion. Is it too late?

This is so sweet. I hope I deserve one one day....

Goo Goo Dolls

And even though the moment passed me by
I still can't turn away
I saw the dreams you never thought you'd lose
Tossed along the way
Letters that you never meant to send
Are lost and blown away

And now we've grown up orphans I never knew their names
We don't belong to no one, that's a shame
You could hide beside me, maybe for awhile
And I won't tell no one your name
I won't tell your name

The scar's a souvenir she'd never lose
The past is never far
And did you lose yourself somewhere out there
Did you get to be a star

Don't it make you sad to know that life
Is more than who we are
You grew up way too fast
Now there's nothing to believe
The reruns all become my history
A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio
And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell your name

I think about you all the time
But I don't need to think
If it's lonely where you are, come back down
And I won't tell your name
