hi frog

your letter is beautiful and tragic. thank you for sharing it.

i was disfellowshipped in 1990. in 1998 i finally wrote a letter
to my mother, hoping she would hear in my anguished written words
what she had refused to hear me speak out loud. she did read it,
but as i had feared, replied as a devoted witness should.

now i am going to share your letter with her. i don't expect to
reach her this time either, but try i will. i have occasionaly
gotten the urge to send her info that i come across, but so far
have not done so. your letter, though, is a powerful, searing
(but gentle), illumination of conditional love masquerading as
real unconditional love. what you have expressed is what i wished
i had shared with her.

together we can hope that our mothers (and sisters) receive these
cries of children with open hearts and minds.

thanks, again

NWO descends on iraqi farmers

by Satanus in

"as part of sweeping "economic restructuring" implemented by the bush administration in iraq, iraqi farmers will no longer be permitted to save their seeds, which include seeds the iraqis themselves have developed over hundreds of years.

instead, they will be forced to buy seeds from us corporations.

that is because in recent years, transnational corporations have patented and now own many seed varieties originated or developed by indigenous peoples.

Satanus-thank you, thank you, thank you for starting this thread. You've turned a long-time lurker into a first-time poster. Well, after effectively "murdering and raping" the Iraqi people over the last couple of years, I guess there actually is more that our benevolent regime can inflict on them. I guess if I were a little more world-savvy, this would have been easy to predict; Monsanto's mo is not news to me. Perhaps its just that I'm not evil, and sometimes I forget to forsee the next bit of unconscionable thievery aimed at more of the world's innocent ones. As an ex-witness, I sometimes wish that there really was a just Jehovah god. Then it would be interesting to see how this just god would deal with a corrupt organization bearing his name. And it would be interesting to see how this just god would deal with world-wide organized crime like the Bush cabal with all its corporate bedmates. I can dream, can't I? Matt
