Who Else Plays Zeus/Poseidon?
by Stephanus ingreat game!
a city building game set in ancient greece, with a twist - when you build a temple to one of the gods, they personally visit your city and bestow their blessings!
a temple to zeus is best - a very ot type god - bearded, wreathed in cloud and lightning, walks the city bestowing blessings on places which find his favour and smiting invading enemies and gods alike (you've got to deal with an invading monster yourself...).

I haven't played Zeus/Poseidon but I have finished Age of Mythology. Great game! I also finished Warcraft III which was fun.Plan on playing Neverwinter Nights. If you like city building you might want to try Stronghold. Castle siege is a blast.

What I really don't like is when people let their animals out and they come onto your property to do their business. Happened to a guy I used to know when I was a teenager. He lived in the country and his house was right on the lake. Some of the houses were owned by city people that came down on the weekends. It never failed...The next door neighbours had a yappy little poodle who used to come on to my friends lawn to have a dump. My friend proceeded to teach the dog by shooting it with a BB gun in the butt everytime it came over to use his lawn. Didn't take long and the dog learned not to step on the lawn. He would a skirt the edges but never step on it....hehe.

Thank you for you huggs and support Kelpie and UR:)
My friend that they are trying to corner is going through alot of difficulties in his life right now. I told him now matter what I would be there as friends should be. We actually are like brothers and it was very difficult to hear him on the phone break down and cry. He has alot of issues with the JW's and he can see how there is a lack of love amongst most of the members. I will help him any way I can.
My wife does see that there are problems with the way some things are carried out. She is a 4th gen Wit. and says although there are some problems she has "faith". She believe's in the Elders and feels that they are doing Jehovah's will. I do my best to keep everything calm but it is difficult. She has a very large family of elders,PO's, Pioneers etc.
My parents are very much in but my father has changed a bit and seems kind of sad. He told me not to rock the boat so I won't get into trouble thus causing family problems. He is aware of some of my views and calls them apostate but told me to keep them to myself. He used to be an Elder for a long time and was one of the "nice" Elders in the hall. He was a bit wild when he was younger and understood what it was like. He helped a few of my friends when they got in trouble. My friend's told me he seemed like the only one who really cared.
It seems that there are alot of scarred,frustrated,angry and sad people who are that way because of the JW's. This is a sad reflection on a religion that purports itself to be one of love.
I am sorry for rattling on so much but it help me deal with these issues expressing them like this.

Well....Got a call from an elder in my hall yesterday. They are wanting to come visit and wanted to set up a time. I put it off citing family issues. The elder said he would call back another time.
They got one of my best friends....They DF'd him instead of DA'd. His mother and sister have disowned him(they wrote him a letter) but he still talks to his Dad. The CCM are trying to get my other buddy and are hounding his wife who is a Dub. She actually told them to leave him be but it will only be a matter of time. I forwarned him about what was happening and he said he will tell them in very explicit terms what he thinks if they do corner him....god...I would love to hear it. He can swear like a sailor.
My wife is a Witness. She gets upset when I talk negative about the religion. I asked her if she considers me a Witness...She said she does not. I asked her what if the Elders asked and she said tell them that at this time you do not consider yourself a Witness. I then stated that I could be DA's for that. She said they wouldn't do anything like that....I guess we will see once they manage to corner me...
They are forcing you to make a choice and are using fear to make you fall inline. If not well then you are punished for your defiance and lose your life as well as your relationships with your loved ones. You don't see how cruel this when you are in but when you step back and examine the JW policies it hits you like a ton of bricks. The lack of love and the use of fear identify it as nothing more then a cult.What a waste of precious human life. So many in the Cong. if given the chance at schooling could have done something that was not destructive but a postive influence on society.
Needed to vent.

I have told a few people what to do if they don't want Dubs banging on their doors. I said "tell the Witness that you would appreciate it if you did not call on the house. Can you please write that down in your records.). I said that they may call once or twice a year to make sure no one has moved or changed their minds.
One of my workmates tried it and the person at the door seemed quite surprised....hehehe.

Photodrama of Creation
by Wolfy ini was going through some old jw books of my aunts and found one entitled the photodrama of creation.
it is missing the 1st few pages but it is really interesting to look through.
i did notice that there is almost no mention of jehovah's name in the book althought it talks about jesus and the church constantly.
