Meeting's..........the best Medicine!!!
by Latte indo you remember those truly wonderful occasions when the meeting was in full swing, and something/one would make you laugh uncontrollably............so much so that you had to go out.

Brother Dim
by Yerusalyim inwas it the point of your two earlier posts to extol the virtues of jwism?
i could relate many stories extoling the virtues of catholics who live up to the faith (maxmillian kolbe is just one example look him up).
