  "When I married my wife, I didn't love her. I liked her. I like her a whole lot. Gradually I liked her more and more, until one day I realized I loved her. Not passion, but love deep down in your soul. You see son, if you love a woman without liking her, the nights become long and cold and bitternesss rises in your soul. Is any of this getting through your head?" -- Jimmy Stewart, Shenandoah.

  Marry your best friend. It's a cliche, but it's also true.

  i was wondering if anyone else is feeling it on the wind that there seems to be a coming.

  equivilency between officially disassociating onesself, and simply being in a state of.

  non-association as a walkaway, fade-out, inactive person.

  I'm afraid I have to agree with ISP. The August KM was an affirmation for the hard-core right wing conservatives, who no doubt will be feeling the need to extend their authority a bit. This reminds me of the aftermath of the whole Ray Franz purge back in the early 80's. The WTS came down pretty hard for several years afterward and not only reaffirmed but strengthened the DF/DA teaching. I don't see it happening soon, but perhaps early next year I could see a KM article or even a district assembly (convention?) part about it. Either way, it's going to happen, and it's just a matter of time.

  i think i may have a potential problem on my hand.

  over the last year or so, i've been attempting to go the slow fade route with the jw religion.

  for the most part i've succeded, as my significant decrease in jw related activities has been greeted only by brief "pep talks" by my parents at worse.

  thanks to dmouse for providing the scan of the september km article: .

  let's look at each paragraph.

  paragraph #1: somehow the topic of e-mails is linked to "valueless things" and "unrestricted use" (whatever that is).

  Sorry Out (really!). It sounds like you're surrounded. Actually you sound like my daughter. She HATES football and is more than a little ticked at me for trying to get my 6 year old son interested.

  Oh boy! Football!!!! Thanks Wild Turkey!

  Sorry but the Cowboys are going to do well to break .500. Best we can hope for is 9-7 and a wild card. But the hope for the future is Chad Hutchinson. Yeah, I know he looks stiff right now, but just wait. I was able to drive down to San Antonio and saw some of their practices and the difference between him and Carter is amazing. Carter throws a worse medicine ball than Danny White. He has trouble throwing the deep out, and I promise you that route will get him picked him during the season. Watch out for Antonio Bryant. Imagine Michael Irvin with speed. And this kid Gurorde (sp) is going to be an All-Pro in a couple of years. Hey, by the way, did you know that during the 1979 draft, the Cowboys were going to pick Joe Montana? Yep, he was the highest rated player left on their board when their pick came up in the 2nd round. But they decided against at the last minute because they had Danny White and they didn't want to trade him. AArrrggh!!!!

  Super Bowl pick: Green Bay and Pittsburgh with Green Bay the champs.

  Worshipping Elvis Unto Death

  due to chat deprivation last night, i got in on the tail end of a month long biography of elvis.

  the last few years of his decline due to prescription drugs was laid out in excruciating detail.

  elvis was going downhill, surrounded by people that worshipped him, adored him, and cared about him.

  I had my name legally changed 10 years ago. However, my birth name was Presley. No, I'm not related. But, growing up, I used to tell all sorts of wild stories about Graceland and Uncle Elvis shooting up the TV (imagine my amazement when I found out he really did that) and all the kids at school believed me. When "Uncle" died, and someone would ask if I was related, I would solemnly tell them I could talk about it <choke>.

  Throw a couple of prawns on the barbie for me! Wish I could be there, but it's a rather long drive from Texas to Down Under. But then, after hearing my wife's stories of funnel web spiders, buffalo eating their front lawn and finding a black snake in their house, maybe this old Texan will just flop down in my recliner with a Foster's.

  Good on ya cobbers!
