aztec...where are you?
i remember something about the possibility that she may be moving.
i know the format on this forum has changed, but i'm sure she could access it.
Here is the thread Aztec started some time ago about 'moving'.
Perhaps this is what's happening:

SixofNine, I dunno, I have a feeling when you're not looking, Aztec is filing that chain . Those Detroit chix are pretty tough - and her son is taking karate lessons... - anyways...yes, we all hope she is well.
beans is sitting behind sloan and i -literally !!.
there are many apostates here at the hotel enjoying spiritual food at the proper time and many laughs so far.. so far:.
sloan.
BEANS!
Did you teach any of those 'Merkins to speak some proper Canuck talk?
Anyone else at this apostatefest, what's it like to have a Canadian in your midst?
Seems like there's a few UK visitors as well, this must be a hoot!
Damn I jealous.
BEANS: A ton of snow fell on Toronto last night. Supposed to go down to - 16 C later today .
Lucky you, way down there in Dallas <sigh>.
hi gang:.
just a reminder that we will be doing the radio program on the jws and false prophecies today.
if you want you can email me messages that you want me to share with the radio audience during the program at [email protected] i will do the best i can to share them.. to listen just go to www.kfuo.org.
Is the program archived?
I suppose I could click on the link, and find out there.
I wish I had heard it, even if it was via the internet, thousands of miles away.
owyergoin?
orright?
i'm trying to remain cheerful but i'm feeling really crook (that's "sick", to you foreigners!).
Hey Ozzie - what I remember was that many DF'd persons sat at the very back of the Kingdom Hall. Occasionally, they'd sit at the side, but of course, near the back.
The last time I went, to meet with the elders, that's where I went too. This was about 19 years ago.
congrats on canadas win against bangladesh and all the best against newzealand on monday - i'll be rooting for nz!.

Honestly, I was surprised at this. I knew people played cricket here in Canada, but you hardly hear much about it.
I was listening to the news, and didn't hear anything about it, but I'm sure there will be a snippet in the newspaper.
Hockey? I won't go there, but the Leafs won last night !
Good for the cricket players, for both Canada and New Zealand.
I've watched it once, but unfortunately it wasn't my 'cup of tea'.
an atheist was walking through the woods one day, admiring all that .
evolution had created.
suddenly he heard a rustling in the bushes behind .
Francois, I have never seen this joke. It was hilarious!
visiting a few jw/xjw forums lately, i'm reminded of phrases that have been never been brought to mind for 25 years.
(king of the north, jonadabs, etc, etc.
) i got to thinking again about that infamous old harlot, babylon the great.
Rayzorblade laughs @ thegentleman
That was hilarious. Ironically, last night while riding the subway to work, I noticed something on the floor in front of me. It was an AWAKE magazine.
It was the one with the two little girls holding the bunnies on it. (Spoofed on here a little while ago). I left it where it was, it was obviously wet and covered in road salt and boot smudges. Yuck!
The conductor of the train has spoken, place all littered magazines in their appropriate places. We all know where that is now, don't we?
(recycle bin would be kinder) - essentially the same idea .
a hell of a lot nicer than anyone else i knew.. and i'm only writing this because it's not really immodest because you don't know who i am.. i never went to the kh without some homebaked cake or cookies for the elderly ones, or a small gift for someone, or some cards telling someone how much i appreciated them.
the more i disliked a person, the harder i would try to befriend them.
usually, the reason i disliked them went away (not!
Berylblue, I'll bet you were the epitome of kindness.
If there could have been an example of a 'loving' JW, it would have been you.
Yes, there were a few lovely benevolent people who attended the KH, people who were genuine, despite being misguided.
If I had have been in your congregation, I would have let you spoil the daylights out of me, and always thank you for it .
I wish I could see a video tape of myself from way back then. I was so intense, so geek-ish, and so NAIVE. My heart, I felt was in the right place (for a dub), but as time went on...things just didn't add up, and personal struggles along with other doubts, had me on the banana peel sliding right out of the Borg.
Yes, I'll bet you were a very nice JW. The good thing berylblue, is that you are still a NICE person today .
.
is there any basis for these claims?.

Hey, thanks for that link. There's a TON of information there. I began reading it, but without my reading glasses, it's a bit tricky.
I've bookmarked it. I'm going to give it a good read this weekend.
Thanks for the link happysunshine.
hi folks, in a little over a week, i am hosting a memorial.
it is for a friend of mine that passed away suddenly just a couple of days before new years 2003. he suffered a brain aneurysm.
we were to celebrate his 38th birthday, just a week later.
Thank you to those who offered some suggestions for next weekends Memorial.
Believe it or not, I grabbed my daytimer, and scribbled in a few of your suggestions. Most of the things that were mentioned by some of you are going to happen.
The Guest Book item, I am going to bring one of those, but I had not considered that before.
We will have some music, some of his favourite tunes. There will be a few sheets of bristol board, and his good friend will put them up. On the board, will be numerous photographs. We also have access to a cork board which is on the wall where we will be gathering. We will put up his poetry, stories and other unique items.
I had one good photo of he and I together, so I duplicated 25 copies. He came from a very large family (15 siblings altogether). I will have those available to each family member and his mature nieces and nephews.
There will be time for people to go up and read poetry, letters or share their thoughts, and definitely some humour. Rob (his name) was a great guy. He lived with NF (neurofibromytosis), which for some of you who do not know, it's also known as the Elephant Mans Disease (I hate calling it that). He had a facial anomoly, but it's interesting, when you're friends with someone like that, you DON'T even notice it. He was my friend, and he could crack me up like no one else.
I offered the memorial as a suggestion, having done it once myself after my father passed away in November 2001. A friend suggested it. I couldn't make any sense of its value prior to the event (I was not close to my father, whatsoever). Oddly enough, after I had arranged it with my friend, who is a chaplin, it slowly come together. I invited over a select few friends, and we gathered on a Saturday night, and we sat and talked and shared thoughts and feelings. For my friends who either could not make it, or were too far away (overseas) I placed their pictures on a curtain near the table where I had placed pictures of my father from when he was a young man back in the late 1950s. I had his obituary enlarged, and I wrote little notes by any photos I had of him.
One photo of him was from 1960. It was my father with my older half-brother. I chose that to be enlarged as it was the only time I could honestly say, I had no negative feeling towards him when looking at him. My rationale, I wasn't even born yet, and I didn't know the man in 1960. I was born in 1962.
Anyways, I went off on a minor tangent there.
Cruzanheart, I'm so glad you responded. I do recall your post of several weeks ago about your father, and I knew you and your husband (Big Tex) were going to do something special to mark your father's memory. I'm looking forward to next weeks memorial. I know it will give me some satisfaction, and help keep the memory of Robert alive for a long time to come.
Thanks to: starfish, Scully, Inserter and LyinEyes for your kind and generous thoughts and suggestions. I wrote them down .
I'll let you know how things go, next weekend (probably Sunday).
