Dark Side of the Moon. I remember being at a party and someone was playing it and a parent wanted me to talk to her son about the influnece of such demonic music. I said something generic realizing that I had loved that album for years. That was a real tough one for me to reconcile. I don't care much any longer. Us and Them you know?

Simon, I thought you banned this nutjob? What did "you've blah blah blahed this forum.... blah blah" at the end of his last thread mean? I thought you had enough of this clown? Did he kiss butt or something and promise to be a good little apostate? He's really just a sad little religious fanatic.

As a JW - Did you See Meetings Continue in Spite of Medical Emergencies?
by flipper ini was talking the other day with a fellow board member about medical emergencies occuring at meetings and how we both agreed that we ( while jw's ) had never seen a meeting stop or be cancelled due to medical emergencies experienced by a fellow jw.
the wt society trains jw' s to lose their authentic human feelings or any empathy towards others physical or emotional sufferings many times.
so many times at meetings , in spite of someone suffering a serious medical emergency it was " the show must go on " type of attitude displayed by congregation elders.. my first experience at seeing a medical emergency at the kingdom hall was an older sister who had an epileptic attack.

Sorry to dissapoint but I had a bible student who was about 65 attending the public talk. About 10 minutes into the talk he had a major heart attack. The chairs were pulled back and he was laid out on the floor as the emt's worked on him. Everyone sat quietly. They got a beat but not for very long. He was brain dead. They took him to the hospital and he died 9 days later. The brothers called the meetings off and sent everyone home. No talk, no WT study. Not all JW's are fricken robots, gotta give credit where credit is due. I'm sure this isn't the only incendence of this happening. Even if it is a cult not everyone is heartless. It was a wake up call for me that no day should be taken for granted. I'm sure you'll find many other heartless examples flip, its just that there is a balance here. In my town anyway. It still hurts, he was a really great guy.

Gotta hand it to him, he came to a drunken baseball fight with a tazer. I guess this makes him a terrorist? He's doing wonders for the JW reputation on this one.

This guy rants on 9/11. He's sick of hearing about it. He says some very interesting things. It is not a "truther" video. He simply is sick of hearing about it and seeing it exploited. He puts it in perspective. See what yout think. It should get people talking. I don't know how I got three of the same video embedded. They are all the same. Pick one!

One of them will just do an Obi Wan, waving thier hand and saying, "These are not the droids you're looking for" and it will all go away. This will be persecution against Christ's brothers, framing mischief by decree. This trumps being "without reproach". Remember, its good to be the king.

went to a funeral today, somewhat awestruck.
by man in black inthis morning i went to a catholic funeral mass for a priest who inherited, and help grow an orphanage in chicago.
he died from cancer which he had for the past several years.. when he got the orphanage back in the early 70's the church was ready to shut it down for lack of direction, and growth.
but since he took over the reins,.

When my mom died we insisted on having someone she loved and respected give the memorial talk. He knew her well and did in fact love her back. His talk was 95 percent appreciation for my mom and 5 per cent sales. It was a relief. We EMPHASIZED to him NOT to make it a recruitment event. He was happy to comply. He was neither elder nor ministerial servant. That must have been the key.
