  "Dear Lord: The gods have been good to me. For the first time in my life, everything is absolutely perfect just the way it is. So here's the deal:
  
  You freeze everything the way it is, and I won't ask for anything more. If that is OK, please give me absolutely no sign. OK, deal. In gratitude, I present you this offering of cookies and milk. If you want me to eat them for you, give me no sign. Thy will be done."
  

  Amen to that!

  very curious...there's a reason for this question.

  does anyone perceive if there is a proclivity toward a certain engine if one is, say, computer savvy?

  college grad?

  sorry i haven't been around lately, it's been months since i've visited the site, i've been a bit of a 'drive-by-poster,' if you will.

  i'm alive and well, the best i've ever been, in fact.

  how many of you came to this board, only to find others you knew when you were witnesses?.

  perhaps you didn't know the other person had left.

  or you knew they'd left, but had lost touch, only to be reunited here?

  Thanks guys. I've ordered the book from amazon, along with the book recommended by myxomatosis (The case for Christ)

  I say take everyone’s opinion with a grain of salt. Read the book, research, and make up your own mind. Everyone has a bias based on their own experiences.

  That is exactly what I intend to do. Its great that we're now allowed to read these apostate books without having to look over our shoulder. If anyone has any more recommendations, especially on the archaeological aspects of the boble, I'd be real grateful

  Thanks for the headsup AlanF, and I agree with your post, and yes, I'm a "pretty strong anti-bible-believer"

  there are so many enlightening posters here!

  Its easy to relate to you guys. We've all been through the same crap in our lives. Its not the same talking JW stuff to people that havent experienced it themselves. I had a lot of anger in me as a result of the sh*t that I went through, and this site has definately helped in cooling down these emotions.

  I've read many books recommended by posters on this site that I otherwise would not have read. My home library is growing with subjects that I would never have considered before I came here.
