  Wow! That is a poished piece!!

  I came from a "haunted" childhood and can remember being obsessed as an 8yr old with a poem about a lonely bear in a cage who waited for the night and moonbeams to stream into his cage. All night he would ride the freedom of the moonbeams but was doomed to return to his cage in the morning. Only as an adult do I appreciate the depth of that poem... Thanks CoCo.

  it hurts like hell to listen to my 17 yo girl, crying, saying she misses our real relationship.

  that she gets depressed every time we talk about spiritual things.

  and i really do the utmost to leave it out of our conversations.

  The best way to change her heart is not try to change her mind. Be the best example of a normal active balanced adult and at least at first she will respect that your decision has made you happier and healthier. Eventually she will see there is more to life than meetings and paradise hopes of the child.

  Aussie Delicacy Vegemite Loses Some of Its Savory Appeal

  the a-hedupdated may 10, 2012, 12:29 p.m. etaussie delicacy vegemite loses some of its savory appealyeasty spread is acquired taste, but kids today are a hard sell; edgers and streakersby rachel pannettvegemite is australia's best known snack, but maker kraft foods has been struggling to get a new generation of aussies to eat it.

  now, some chefs are seeing the strongly flavored spread as a unique gastronomic opportunity.

  wsj's rachel pannett reports.. sydneyvegemite, australia's best-known condiment, is leaving a bad taste in little mouths.. beloved for generations down under, it has been derided elsewhere: formula one race-car driver mark webber travels with it in his kit and actor russell crowe eats it with tomato.

  Yeah BTS, I was raised on it. Nowdays, I mainly use it for stock or making gravy. When I was a kid, it was a staple for kid's school lunch but times and tastes have changed a lot.

  "what is an aha moment?

  it's a moment of clarity, a defining moment where you gain real wisdom - wisdom you can use to change your life.".

  I was the same as Perry. 1995 WT on the generation. I asked the elders about the change...Their answer? What change?! I was told that that my explanation of a literal generation was "apostate thinking." When they left my house, I did a 2hr search of the WT CD on generation. There it was in black and white, the slow change of the belief through the late eighties early nineties (Actually silence, no articles.)

  AHA moment and I never put a foot in a KH since.

  Hey CoCo maybe shoulder pads are coming back! The jws fashions are always thirty years behind.

  Also it looks as if her right hand is going for a concealed weapon and his reaction is appropriate.With that plastic smile on her face as well, I would give her anything to get her out of my office too!

  NEW LAW Starting July 2012 in Qld Australia Preventing Door to Door Sales

  by Hopscotch in

  2. friends

  i just read this in our local newspaper this morning and thought it is very interesting.

  this law is aimed at door to door marketing by companies but i am wondering if this may end up including religious 'sales persons'.

  the comments below the story are worth reading as jw's and religious callers are definitely who many people want stopped under this new law.. .
