Another 'Letter to the Editor' published.... hoorah!

by AK - Jeff in

they ran it precisely as written [i believe, though i have not checked it word for word].

in seeker4's original thread he suggested that the catholic settlements could be used as basis for such a letter;.

Beautiful dog!

My neighbor has a half mastiff/half boxer and it is the most loveable dog you want to meet. He wants to lick you to death too! He has a humongous jaw and I would not want to be on the wrong side of him. Even when he sees other dogs, he doesn't want to attack or anything. He wants to be friends with it!

Another thing. I NEVER heard this dog bark. My neighbor says he will bark occasionally but I have no proof.

SPARKY and SIX? Yippie.............!!!!!!

It's ok. I just had the most wonderful vacation two weeks ago at the 1000 Islands in the St. Lawrence Seaway (eastern Lake Ontario) with the JWD'r I fell in love with three years ago.

my hairdresser has been diagnosed with lower bile duct cancer.

she is 21 years old and a wonderful girl with her whole life ahead of her.

she needs your prayers.

HappyDad

I'm pretty sure that is the same cancer that took Walter "Sweetness" Payton.

Raeann is now on my prayer list.

just announced on cnn.

saw her on larry king live last week and she looked awful.

HappyDad

For those of us that have watched loved ones die of cancer, that is why I take pity on her.

Thank you!

Tammy Faye (Baker) Messner is in God's hands now.

Regardless of how I felt about her in the past......it isn't my place to judge her.

I watched my own wife fade away to less than 100 lbs. because of cancer and my heart goes out to all family and friends of those who have to suffer so.

Go in peace Tammy.

May God be with you.

Another Harrowing Rollerdave Tale

by RollerDave in

my day started well enough, going for a drive with thirty crisp fresh hundred dollar bills in my pocket, my lovely shiny truck and my best gal.. ahh, life was sweet!.

we got fueled up at sam's club filling station because it was cheap as hell, wound up using the same space/pump as when our van died and needed major work, we laughed frivolously about this amusing happenstance, tee hee.. beep!.

huh?

HappyDad

Dave,

That boat is in really good condition. Reminds me of all the old boats (a lot of restored wood runabouts from the 1930's, lapstrake hulls from the late 50's and others) that I saw at the 1000 Islands in the St. Lawrence Seaway last week.

Enjoy it!

As far as naming it..........I thought of "SET ME FREE" or "FREEDOM RINGS"........sort of a double meaning. Free on the water and free of a cult.

What's your take on "faith healing" ...

does it really happen, or is it a fake?.

know anyone personally who was cured by a faith healer?.

Ok.........now to Feb. 15. The dream had been forgotten by everyone I suppose. As usual the music started and Pastor Pat invited us to come up to the altar. And as usual, I did my limp to the front and we were singing the song Amazing Love. My whole heart and mind were focused on the words......my entire being was clothed in warmth. Then the second song started. I don't remember which one that was, but then I realized something. I WAS KNEELING there with my arms raised in praise. It hit me so much..I WAS KNEELING.......THERE IS NO MORE PAIN.

I jumped up and start yelling very loud....PRAISE GOD, PRAISE GOD..I CAN KNEEL, I CAN KNEEL........THE PAIN IS GONE. No...there was no break-dancing, but I was jumping around and kicking my leg around to show that it was ok. I don't know how long I did that, when I looked at some of the people there, I saw Peg with her hands to her face and crying. Then I remembered her dream. I went to her and hugged her, at the same time crying like a baby. I told her "You had this dream."

I guess I disrupted things for a few minutes but the entire church was clapping and giving God praise. Aferward, I found out that several others in the church knew about Peg's dream, including Pastor Pat's wife who is a very good friend of Peg.

The knee braces are history. I have absolutely no pain. I am walking normal, even trying a little jogging. The steps are not a problem anymore. That week, I was a little apprehensive. Was this real? Here at home..... I knelt down several times just to see if I could. I COULD and STILL CAN.

The following week at Sunday School (Feb. 18) Paster Pat asked me if I would take a minute to relate what happened the Sunday previous. I did!

Needless to say, I'm not a skeptic anymore. I have knelt many Sunday's since. The song "AMAZING LOVE" has new meaning for me.

Was this a REAL healing? Is it just mind over matter? I won't question it at all. All I know is that I was......a limping....in bad pain.......aging man. Now I know what I am........still aging but able to walk normal....even giving it "double time" if I so choose. I'll give all the credit to my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Will it last or will something eventually happen again to the knee? Who knows? Anything could happen.....a wrong move.....an injury.......or whatever, and I could be limping again. But that would be a new situation. The OLD situation is no longer a burden.

What do the days, weeks, months, and years ahead bring? I don't have a clue.

Thanks for letting me post this. I appologise if I have rambled on or made anyone bored.

I'm just..............

I was attending the Assembly of God church since the end of November and during the service many go up front to the altar during praise and worship (great music) and prayer ministry. I started doing this also. Some would kneel as the Pastor spoke and prayed from his heart for those wanting the Lord to do things in their lives. Several times I would limp up there and stand next to one of my friends who also attends this church. (At last count, I have 9 close friends who attend this church...and they are the ones who first invited me there) It was very painful for me to just stand there praying and in a short time, I had to retreat to my seat to sit down. I would pray and give thanks for all that was in my life. Deep down I wanted to kneel like some of the others were doing, but knew that it wasn't possible.

Here comes a strange part and I'm not sure what many of you believe at this point. As I said before, because of over 30 years of JW indoctrination, I was a skeptic about quite a lot of things. I am very close to my good friend Greg (who is an ordained minister..but does not serve as a pastor) and his wife Peg. Their ministry is running a recovery halfway house for women and a recovery club that is open to all. They both are what I would call model Christians and Peg sometimes has a gift of good things that will happen. I believe this because I have been witness to some of the things she said way before they happen.

It was about the second week of January and one day at the coffee shop she related a dream she had about me. We all broke out laughing because it was so funny. A few nights before she started laughing like crazy in her sleep and it woke Greg up. This laughter continued on for a little while when Greg asked her what was so funny. She became fully awake and related her dream to Greg. She said the dream was about me and that we were all in church standing and singing and praying at the altar. Then all of a sudden I started hootin' and hollerin' and dancing around like Michael Jackson and then started break-dancing and praising the Lord.

It was VERY funny the way she told it to all of us who were at the coffee shop. And we all agreed that it was funny in the fact that here I was......limping and in a lot of pain. Her dream was funny although I knew in my mind that it could not come true.
