Ah, touch therapy for pain management.
er...uhm... I mean... Praise Jesus!
You speak often of people simply approaching you. Does being such a familiar face at the coffee shop lend itself to being perceived as approachable, which clearly you are?

OF DOGS AND BITES AND BIKES AND THINGS
by Terry inthe thought suddenly struck me plain and obvious: "these dogs won't stop until i'm good and bloody.".
there were two of them; a mixed breed of boxer and pit bull; clean, white--collared, tagged and--for some inexplicable reason, ferociously intent on tearing me to shreds!.
ah, but i'm getting ahead of myself.

Puncture wounds. You might need more than just a rinse and bandage.
Perhaps see about an antibiotic.

I got up yesterday morning (Saturday) and enjoyed the watchtower work
by Zoos inreaching the fire watchtower on top of wayah bald overlooking the smokey mountains can be a difficult hike from nantahala lake up the bartram and appalachian trails where they straddle each other passing through this area.
the most enjoyable watchtower work i've ever participated in.. the views from the tower are spectacular.. .
looking across nantahala forest to the smoky mountains, described poetically as the most elevated peak; from whence i beheld with rapture and astonishment, a sublimely awful scene of power and magnificence, a world of mountains piled upon mountains.

My son has his own youtube channel where he posts various trains that we have "railfanned."
Link his channel. That would be interesting.

"Louise decided to tell her father, by now a respected “elder” in the Jehovah’s Witnesses congregation she was also a member of. Upon hearing the news, she says Trevor Davenport fell to the floor and began wailing."
Was he sad because he might lose his position?

We're not trying to convert you
by jws inrecently i saw a link to an article from the st. petersburg times (one of these links on the side of this forum to sometimes old articles).
it was an article about jws and their preaching work.
imo, middle to favorable.. but the one thing was from a door where the jws are saying they're not here to convert anyone, they just want to share a scripture.. what sort of bs is this?

“I was told they would strongly advise me against reporting it to the police,” she says. “It would bring reproach on God’s name and look bad for the Jehovah’s Witnesses.
“They thrust a couple of Awake magazines in my hand and said there were stories of other sisters who had been through a similar situation of abuse, and that they had turned to Jehovah and prayed. They said our religion would help me get over it.
“They also said I couldn’t get counselling because that would also be talking to outside sources and would bring shame on our religion.
“They said, ‘If you want to get counselling come to us.’ But why would I go and speak to three men about my sexual abuse?
“They were sympathetic but basically said not to burden the congregation by telling any of my friends because it could bring them down spiritually. I was embarrassed because I was thinking, ‘Did I do anything wrong? Was it me?’
“I didn’t feel I got the support I should have got. It was gut-wrenching.”

“I heard someone say my main goal was to bash the religion, as opposed to getting justice.

I guess that last sentiment is why her parents were able to turn on her so completely, this mentality of: Protect the religion at all costs.
