I'm all torn up Inside

i've had two nights wihtout being able to sleep.

i've been turning all night.. i'm having images of my old days in the gulf.

from first being dropped in at 1500 feet to the stupid republican guard holding there ground.. i see and feel the blackening sky as the oil wells were lit on fire and the intense heat they produced in an already oven like country.. i feel so bad for my old comrades as they encounter the "new enemy" and feel as if i abandoned them.. i should be there i keep thinking...i should be there..i should..i should....*.

Sometimes speaking to a professional about your feelings can help give you direction when you can't seem to come up with it yourself. Just a suggestion. Hang in there.

Lots of love goes out to you and thank you for being who you are and for having done something so special for all of us.

shoo-fly pie .

one pioneer meeting during the co's visit, we were asked for some illustrations we could use in the ministry work.

although i knew it was a little obscure, i raised my hand and said "in the ministry, i have used a shoo-fly pie to illustrate christendom's satanic message.

1. you wore that rainbow shirt that was half-sleeves and the rainbow went up one sleeve, across your chest and down the other.

2. you made baby chocolate cakes in your holly hobbie easy bake oven.

you washed them down with the snoopy snow cone machine.

TheStar

Closer2fine and ofcmad,

You guys brought back so many great memories!! So many things I had forgotten about. Going through the list, I had, did or wanted so many of those things. I had a great childhood, wasn't raised as a Dub, I only foolishly happened upon that 6 years ago.

Anyway, thank you again for the wonderful trip down memory lane. I needed that!

But does this mean we're getting old? yikes!

Counter to Proplog2 on Cults

by Amazing in

jw
friends

proplog2 has engaged in a serious debate on those who support the identification of cults ... and much of the material he cites has been aimed at discrediting margaret singer, a known expert on cults.. i checked the following as suggested by proplog2: anyone who speaks against singer is labeled a "cult-apologist".

if you don't know about margaret singer do a search on google.com using the following words margaret singer & apa .

i conducted this search and checked the first page of sites.

Hi Amazing,

I just started reading the book. I'll quote what it says on page 23-24.

**********************************************
"Releasing the Bonds" By Steven Hassan Pg. 23-24

"NOTE: BE CAREFUL! For many years the nonprofit Cult Awareness Network (CAN) was a grass roots organization which provided information and support to those in need. In 1996, the Cult Awareness Network (CAN) name, logo, and phone number was purchased by a member of the Church of Scientology in federal bakruptcy court. CAN is now operating by cult members or their defenders who do not believe that mind control cults even exist. When an unsuspecting family member or friend calls CAN, they will not get the help they need. Unfortunately, CAN's confidential files were turned over to Scientology. The good news is that a new organization, the Leo J. Ryan Foundation, was established in February 1999, with it's headquarters in Connecticut. The Foundation intends to fill the void left by the purchase of CAN. Meanwhile, the American Family Foundation continues its mission of helping to raise cult awareness through its own programs and publications."

Amazing doesn't Steven Hassen's book "Releasing the Bonds" say that CAN after going bankrupt was actually bought out by Scientologist, so CAN is no longer a reliable source?
