but do we see anything today like a ?disgusting thing?
(revelation 17:11) it will yet turn out to be a ?thing that causes desolation.?
and the ten horns that you saw, and the wild beast, these will hate the harlot and will make her devastated and naked, and will eat up her fleshy parts .

Excellent letter! Hope you get the results you're looking for!

hey shotgun - .
just a quick note to let you know that i (and others) am/are thinking of you today and hoping that 'the meeting' with elders a and b was not too traumatic last night.
i know you said you'd post the transcript - and there is no rush - just wanted to let you know i (we) am/are thinking of you and sending warm thoughts of support your way.
Xena,
I haven't really posted much on your other threads because I don't know what to say
I know how you feel. It is so hard for me to find the words, also. Many times, when my heart is bleeding for someone, I don't say anything at all, because I just can't. Most the time I feel as though my words are so unbelievably inadequate that they sound hollow or insincere. So, unless we are both screwed up (oh, Lord, not that!), you are pretty normal!
Shotgun -
I almost cried when I saw this thread...and that's something I don't do much anymore..I've made myself so cold and hard inside to block the everyday pain I feel that it's usually only my daughter that makes me cry... Thanks growedup
Oh yeah, great! Fine! Now you're making ME cry! And you call GUMBY a bastard!!!
I might rent old Yeller tonight just to get the emotional drain over..
fwiw - I have found that no matter how hard I try to put something in my past, until I get the emotional release over and done with, it still nags at me. You deserve a good cry, not only for what you've been through, but for your emotional health and future. So, if ya gotta - watch 'Old Yeller' twice, but get it out - of course, when you are ready!
BTW I did post a few comments on the meeting before I saw this thread
I saw that about three minutes after I posted this thread. After I saw it, I felt kind of silly for starting it, so thanks for making me feel better about it!
Your bastardette friend,

i am having one of those days.
it all started yesterday when i was picking up some work from a client yesterday nearby.
when i walked in the store, the nora jones cd was playing and i became emotional.
(((((Puter)))))
I am so sorry for what you are going through. It is so unfair that this despicable religion does this to families. I am so sorry that you feel so alone. I know you have friends, and you know you have us, but I also know that it just doesn't take the place of those you've loved and lost - especially when it is your children. I do think, however, that it is such a good thing for you continue to keep in touch with them, despite the pain it causes. Even if your children may appear calloused towards you (i.e. being told to stay away from the wedding), I know they are glad to hear from you and are happy to see that you are still trying to keep the lines of communication open for them. Whether they are 19 or 9 or 9 days old, they need to know that their Dad loves them and you are doing the right thing by showing them you do - even in the face of their obstinence. I'm just sorry that it has to be so hard on you.
My thoughts are with you ---

well, sitting having lunch at work, and i notice these three kinda different guys.
no swearing, no cursing (i work in a saw mill), and just clean-cut and nice looking.. you guessed it, jobie nitwits.
the one 20 year old younger guy called the one guy brother xxxx.
The Mormons do that, too... never ceases to amaze me how the missionaries who live in the same apartment together call each other "Brother X*" or "Sister X*" even when no one else is around. Scary.
growedup
* X = last name
this has been a very hard month for me.. 18th anniversary of my brother's death;.
meeting (after a 15-year hiatus) a long-time jw friend, in dire straights, and lots of deep-seated triggers being pulled in the course our conversation;.
my closest, and longest (30-year and running) "worldly" .
Man, Ona, when it rains, it pours, doesn't it?!
I'm sorry to hear you are having a tough time right now. You are normally so cheerful, optimistic and witty that sometimes I tend to forget that people as likeable as you are human and have bad days, too. Just know that you are loved and respected here on the board, and that I hope your melancholy passes soon.

1. will the real dummy please stand up?
at&t fired president john walter after nine months, saying he lacked intellectual leadership.
he received a $26 million severance package.
I saw something similar to this a couple of months ago. One of the examples was of an idiot who was robbing a convenience store. After having the guy behind the counter fill up a bag with the money from the register, the guy demanded he also throw in a bottle of scotch. The guy behind the counter told him, "I'm afraid I can't do that. You are too young."
"I am not," said the robber, who tossed his ID on the counter for the clerk to check.
"You're right!" said the clerk, who added the scotch to the bag full of money.
By the time the robber got home, the police were at this door to arrest him.
Here's your sign........!
i've heard 777 or 7777 used as a godly number in christian televangelist hotline numbers, 777music.com is a christian music online store, and the number is supposed to represent an ideally perfect number representing god and his creation.
but it strikes me as a pallid ripoff of 666, and nothing in the bible seems to produce a higher order number above 70 (7 x 10) with 7.
144,000 is of course based on 12 and 10. and contrary to it being such a godly number, it seems to have been the subject to a book on gematria and the kabbalah by satan incarnate himself, aleister crowley.
ROFLMBO @ Valis!
