The emotion of 911 is oppressive, the recorded calls, the buildings falling, and the death simply wear me down. It's done. The families mourn thier loss and we are on the watch. The best thing I've heard this 911 season is the NYC firefighter who said, "All they talk about are the 5,000 + who died and not the fact that those firefighters saved 20,000 lives that day by getting people out of the towers!" That's what I would like to focus on.

September 11th, 2011- The Difference Between JW's and Reality
by OnTheWayOut ini can agree with some that say there have been plenty of tragedies worldwide where plenty more lives were lost.
so what was special about the loss experienced ten years ago on sept. 11th, 2001 in the united states?.
i might have a bias on this subject because i am a first responder in a different city.

" Just go away and stop stroking your twisted ego with the hands of the vulnerable. " I beleive that leads to a "Premature Evaluation" doesn't it? Tricky Ricky does it again.

Cliff Robertson, Wonderful Actor, Dead at 88
by BizzyBee injust damn.
one of my all-time favorite actors.
i was surprised that he was 88 - he's always seemed to exude such youthfulness, that i would have guessed him younger.

Thank Mayor Bloomberg for Keeping NYCs 9/11 Memorial Service Secular
by betterdaze inon sept. 11, 2011, new york city will mark the 10th anniversary of the 2001 terrorist attacks with a memorial service at ground zero featuring guests such as president barack obama and former president george w. bush.
new york city mayor michael bloomberg, staying with his tradition of keeping annual 9/11 ceremonies secular in nature, has announced that the service will not include clergy.. .
bloombergs decision has drawn heavy criticism from various religious groups and leaders who maintain their religious beliefs should be featured at the ceremony.

Let's face it the WBC are the only "TRUE CHRISTiANS". If they say it it must be so. JW's can't be the only ones who hate everyone who isn't in their club.

Did you witness at school?
by NomadSoul ini grew up being a witness.
i remember in elementary and somewhat in middle school i used to be really outspoken about being a witness.
i even had my own study with a classmate, which thankfully he lost interest because i was getting tired of it too.. but high school was a different story.

Yep, sure did. I had one person sign my 1974 yearbook: "We are all going to die!" Thanks Watchtower.

My Father passed away during the night
by jwfacts indad was a great man, great, despite the religion.
he was powerful, tall and intelligent, yet humble and kind.
he was an introvert, and a circuit overseer.

I think your father personifies most JW's these days. They don't take that much to heart any more. They accept it but ignore pounding the details into their heads but will defend it in a kneejerk sort of way. It is good that he didn't cut you off totally and forever. It shows he was the real deal. So glad you got to have him for a father. There's a lot of jerks out there. You'll find your peace with it in time but miss him your whole life. We do what we must.

Lots of Noise About the 'Quiet Beatle'
by leavingwt insinatra referred to 'something' as the "greatest love song ever written" and it's not a bad choice.
the upcoming focus on george includes an exhibit in la next month, a scorcese film and a book by harrison's widow.
besides 'something', my favorite beatles' songs by harrison would be: here comes the sun, while my guitar gently weeps and taxman.. .

George was a Krishna Witness, a captive of a concept as well. His music was lovely and some of my favorites. When you listen to his love songs they are mostly sung to "Krisha". Living in the Material World is one of the most preachy albums there is. We don't hear it as clearly because of our Judeo/Christian leanings but its there. Sometimes it gets in the way. At least 35 percent of his songs are fantastic. The rest are either maudlin or hyper religious and a turn off for me. I loved the public persona of George but really don't know the guy. I think "Looking for My Life" is inspired. It's on the last album he released. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBov2x9L3UQ
