i received this email only seconds ago and i'm just passing it on to those that knew jan, i have no other details:.
jan groenveld will no longer be a part of these forums.
she passed away in her sleep last night.
Man, it's so sad when a fellow poster on the same forum passes away. Anyway, for what it's worth, I hope she's in a better place.

Saw "The Ring" the other day. SCAREY!

as i stepped onto the sand of the beach i looked to the west and saw waves crashing over the distant rocks.
they collided with the rocks with a mix of violence exploded into the beauty of white water, that burst into a mist that produced the colors of the rainbow as it disperse the light of our sun, all in the glimpse of one moment.
one moment in time, that i witnessed in only just this first step on to the beach, imagine what the other ones were going to find.
The WTS inspires people to mediocrity. Untapped talent that could be used for so much good and so much life! All stifled my religious mediocrity. Sad.
I just don't get it. The WTS could benefit in so many ways by lifting the weight of religious oppression off the backs of it's people. The WTS could gain monetarily, too. But it must be about exclusiveness to a religious doctrine held up to be from God, yet so many rules and regulations that aren't biblical.
Great post, Dragon.

in my current life i know a lot of people who live together.
some of them might have done this because they do not like marriage, and others have done this as a step towards getting married.
in all, in my post-witness life i find that i have no problem with either view.
Great story, Kenpo. Love to hear stuff like that.
Shera,
with guys like these, what's your problem?

there was a quake here at 9:00 this morning and just now (12:30) the building i am in has been shaken ... the chair i am on was actually moved back and forth by it several times and you could feel yourself being swayed back and forth.
i'm on the second floor of a 4 story building.
probably very mild compared to a proper (ie.
Simon,
Last year here in Spokane, Wa., we had a couple small quakes. Very weird, yet exciting.
Matty,
Saying "crap" is OK, though. Heard elders use it all the time.

i was wondering how you all felt about feild service.. i didn't like it all all,i would have minor anixety attacks and sweaty palms before i went door to door.
i would have a hard time taking a door,so one time,my loving "sister" left me standing at door by myself.i remeber being "happy".
i was very uncomfortable going to peoples door and trying to force religion on them,when they didn't want it.i only went out because it was imbedded in my mind that i had to go door to door to save peoples lives.i didn't want to have blood on my hands of the people i may have helped save with god's words.. with the answering,i almost passed out...lol..i used to be painfully shy.when i didn't answer enough,i would be judged as not being spiritually(sp)strong.the woman i was studing with would try to raise my hand up.the way i looked at it there was no accepting of who you were...had to be like the social butterflies to be accepted.now thats what i call love.
I hated FS, but assumed at the time that I was making God happy.
