so i was having an interesting thought the other night -- albeit probably not original, but interesting.

what would be accomplished if thousands of us banded together and held a huge protest of the issue of shunning family right behind the governing body's headquarters (25 columbia heights) in brooklyn bridge park?

the shunning of non-believing family is a strong issue that i'm sure everyone of us could get behind 100%.

god is the alpha and omega.

he created everything from the vast universe to small quarks.

he created the human beings with 23 pairs of chromosomes with 4x10^171 possible variations (that's a 4 with 171 zeroes behind it) he created complex emotions and abstract thoughts.

i took the kids to a park at the center of our town today.

i say some inappropriately dressed people, and decided to investigate.

i keep a close eye on people at the play ground who don't fit in.

to get money (for jehovah's work, of course) we are now prepared to hint and insinuate when armageddon will happen and this time we will be 100% accurate.

good morning all,.

i have had the opportunity over the last couple of years to speak with a couple of jw's who had either attended the same congregation i did or were married to someone who to the same one.

for the record, i disassociated myself in 1992 due to being followed around by an elder or two who had heard that i had ray franz's "crisis of conscience" in my possession.
