  have only just been able to paint again after a cataract operation in september.

  i had complications which meant my short sight has been compromised but following some surgery the fluid buildup seems to have cleared and i have started painting again.

  this is a larger rendition of an earlier piece, such a relief to be ble to see the paper again..

  Take heart Nugget, Claude Monet painted with bad eyesight. You know how blurry the impressionist paintings can be. Gee, wonder why?

  The lack of detail and color subtlety in the later works of the Impressionist painter Claude Monet can be attributed to postoperative cataract problems, according to letters the artist wrote to his ophthalmologist.

  The letters, which were recently aquired by the French Ophthalmological Society, were discussed by Dr. James G. Ravin in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Dr. Ravin said that because Monet's Impressionistic style was deliberately based on a certain imprecision of detail his visual difficulties did not become apparent until, when he was in his 60's, forms began to vanish in his paintings of weeping willows and water lilies.

  my friend,.

  if only i could count how many times i've been told that it's a holy organization run by imperfect humans.

  i told you about 1975 but you said that the future is all that matters and not the past, i told you about "new light" and "old light" and i asked you, "who got the old light wrong?

  What's a word that describes the way Witnesses behave as a group?

  by paul from cleveland in

  i can't recall the word that describes a group that keeps to itself like the witnesses do.

  i thought it was "insular" but i don't think that's the one i'm looking for after reading the definition.

  i remember an elder using the word "clannish" and that has the proper definition but it reminds me of a group of elves.

  to me honestly this would of been prohibited 10 years ago, but now every dub is obsessed with this website, it's everywhere even a damn iphone cover... ooh they don't approve of idolatry ooh no they don't accept cross veneration thats bullshit to me!!!

  its getting to a point that they are venerating this website (company logo) it's their version of the cross.

  Years ago in the late 80's early 90's there was a dust-up over the WT logo being on the front of speaker stands in the congregation and at the Assembly Halls. It was sort of major because a number of us elders were upset at having the equivalent of a cross on the speaker's stand, it was the same thing we thought. We didn't represent WT so we didn't think it right for it to be there. Word came down from on high that logos were out. I think there was a letter to the BOE but can't remember. It wasn't a local thing though as I recall.

  well, that's the claim.

  is this sexy, or isn't it?

  are male witnesses now allowed to wear eye liner?.

  I think we are missing the point here, he's just three months shy of being 58! Why he's gorgeous! Looks a lot like Teresa Graves, remember sister Graves anyone?

  I think it is their inability to control the flow of information any longer. The internet has spawned so many cancerous leaks and expose's that they cannot indoctrinate new recruits. Its the lack of new members that will kill it off.
