  Who Was Your Favorite Speaker?

  no brag, just fact---i was the most requested speaker in my hall(s), i was often requested to give talks in kh's all over the place, not just in my area.. i personally enjoyed speakers who taught you something, not merely recited something.

  we had a district overseer, paul illingsworth, i loved his style.

  he delved into bible words of the original greek and hebrew.

  While in, did you ever rationalize questionable behavior, entertainment, even sin as justifide?

  i'm not the biggest fan of depeche mode, but a couple of their albums were actually ok. there's one track by them i've always loved called, "strangelove" from their music for the masses album, and the lyrics remind me of my own thought process at times.

  the lead vocalist sings at one point, "i give in, to sin, because you have to make this life livable.

  looking back on it, i feel that i needed to watch that fight.

  Yeah Syl - I wanna enourage you to take probiotics, Andrew Lessman sells a good one HSN, called Friendly Flora,

  i'm a believer in going back to the earth, instead of taking all these newfangled drugs, ginger is ' good, but do your research, it can also cause blood thinning, so if you're on anything like coumadin or the like, do your research

  The Day Niagra Falls Ran Dry

  by leavingwt in

  there are some fascinating photos (and a video) at the news link below that i had never seen.

  take a look, if you'd like to know what niagra falls looks like with no water.

  it's taken 41 years, but a previously unseen set of photos of the mighty niagara falls reduced to nothing more than a barren cliff-top have finally surfaced.. the stark images reveal north america's iconic - and most powerful - waterfall to be almost as dry as a desert.. in june 1969, u.s. engineers diverted the flow of the niagara river away from the american side of the falls for several months.. .

  I remember we took a family trip to Canada and stopped over at Niagara Falls, when the American side was shut off.

  We went back about a year or two later because of the disappointment, was so surprised how the small the American side is compared to the Canadian side !

  doing the black friday shopping with the family and we were picking up one of those nice prelit fake trees and standing right next to me was a local brother who i had grown up with staring at me.

  i just smiled my biggest apostate smile and walked away... i wonder if the elders will call on me soon..

  Broken Promises

  Seems like we're on the same page however, i guess you can tell by two previous posts, I don't need voicemail to cover for me, when the elders found out I gave my permission to give my mother blood after I was appointed "legal guardian" by the state no less, and the elder had the nerve to call me, let's just say I was quite surprised when a year later he and his wife showed up at her funeral with happy faces and spoke to me in the appropriate manner, if you could've heard the phone convo between the two of us with me cursing the hell out of him and the organization, you would've thought he would've deleted me and my phone number promptly!

  If a person has been taught for their whole life that something is wrong of course they are going to be worried if an elder sees them.

  I was raised in the truth from infancy so your above statement applies to me, I couldn't give a rats ass about those misguided a**holes, and I still maintain that some people on this site need to grow a backbone ! ! !

  Me, being in a menopausal mode, would've given them the "what the f*** is your problem look, plus being a "Native New Yawka" I'm sure their eyes would've focused elsewhere.

  Which is what I say everyone on this board needs to do when they sound like a 2 year old when they say "I saw an elder today" or "the elders are coming to visit" . . . get an f***ing backbone for Christ sake ! ! !
