  how sorry i was to hear from dansk-he is going through a very difficult time.. i would like all prayers, thoughts, please keep this in mind ____ for me!!!!.

  the sad news he has cancer.it is lymphoma!!!

  they are waiting on the results of the biopsy before determining treatment..... he didnt want me to say anything at first- as he feels you all have your own problems & he didnt want to upset anyone-because he says "they are dear friends".

  Ian, Clair and the boys, Love and caring thoughts from Shotgun

  Sir Ian

  You sure have had more than your share of hard knocks over the past few years. Unlike many you have turned these situations into something that molded you into an even better man than you were before, a man who inspires many.

  Your words and sentiments reach out across the oceans in all directions and touch us deep within our hearts and now we feel for you my friend.

  I know this may sound stupid at first but maybe you have been given a gift or a wake up call that many of us never receive, so we go through life always putting off till tomorrow what we should be doing today.

  With the news you have been given it makes time and life precious, you can live in the now and for the moment, enjoying both the things and people whom you love.

  I know you will beat this and this will indeed be just a memory of some other giant that came face to face with Sir Ian and succumbed to defeat.

  You have the prayers of those who still pray and you have the warm and caring thoughts of those of us who simply care about you and your family.

  BTW?I loved you in LOTR, look at the odds that were against you then. I bet this has really thrown a wrench in that acting carreer of yours.

  2. friends

  i had my girls over last night for dinner.

  during the conversation, we talked about a number of things, in where i detected that they have grown up so much in making decisions for themselves that are totally contrary to the borg beliefs and standards.

  the movies they watch, music they listen to, people they hang out with, parties they go to, video games they play.. i have talked to my girls everyday since last week.

  Can some one explain how 607 is wrong

  by XQsThaiPoes in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the watchtower and many others claim something happend in 607. this is based on the idea the bible is acurate.

  the watchtower states in a few places 586 is the "real date" but they would make the bible wrong which is a no no.

  i know they have a vested interest in 607. i can't figure out why is this such a controversy.

  1 Chronicles 21

  11 So Gad went to David and said to him, "This is what the LORD says: 'Take your choice: 12 three years of famine, three months of being swept away [1] before your enemies, with their swords overtaking you, or three days of the sword of the LORD -days of plague in the land, with the angel of the LORD ravaging every part of Israel.' Now then, decide how I should answer the one who sent me."
  13 David said to Gad, "I am in deep distress. Let me fall into the hands of the LORD , for his mercy is very great; but do not let me fall into the hands of men."
  14 So the LORD sent a plague on Israel, and seventy thousand men of Israel fell dead. 15 And God sent an angel to destroy Jerusalem. But as the angel was doing so, the LORD saw it and was grieved because of the calamity and said to the angel who was destroying the people, "Enough! Withdraw your hand." The angel of the LORD was then standing at the threshing floor of Araunah [2] the Jebusite.
  16 David looked up and saw the angel of the LORD standing between heaven and earth, with a drawn sword in his hand extended over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell facedown.
  17 David said to God, "Was it not I who ordered the fighting men to be counted? I am the one who has sinned and done wrong. These are but sheep. What have they done? O LORD my God, let your hand fall upon me and my family, but do not let this plague remain on your people."

  A lot of times it has seemed to me that their organization must be shrinking

  In Canada...1995 110,000 average publishers....2003 110,000 average publishers

  Do we have to talk about shrinkage?

  Spending Time With The Family...

  by FMZ in

  1. social
  2. family

  yeah, some of you may have recently noticed i am posting here much less than i used to (just as i am about to go jedi too... .

  over the past few months, i have become so attached to jwd, mainly due to the fact that it is all the socializing i get while i am at work, that i had began to neglect my family time.

  it felt really good the past weekend or two, to just stay in with the kids, or go out with the wife (serenity) and have a few drinks.. as good as it is to associate with ex-jws who know where i am coming from, it is even better to spend some time with those that are close to me.
