"You'll never even get to finish school in this System of Things....."
by WingCommander inthis statement was often echeod to me during my formative years.
i remember my very first day of elementary school (stateside) at the age of 4. my parents were flustered because they couldn't believe they actually had to start their only child into public school to begin with; after all, the end was right around the corner!
this was 1984, the year the first apple mac was introduced, 80's music was loud and in your face, the delorean was cool, and miami vice was just in production.

Installment # 6 - Submarine Witnesses and the Lack of Brotherly Love
by AK - Jeff inlawence sperry piloted and demonstrated the first auto-pilot controls for an aircraft in 1914, the same year that, according to the watchtower organization, god's kingdom took over automatic control of the heavens.. auto-pilot systems do not work well in turbulent conditions, and in our case, the spiritual auto-pilot that had kept us just gliding along without much thought from 1975 till the early 80's had to be cut off, and flight had to be controlled manually at about that time.
i was working for a group of witness 'brothers' then, striping cars and adding automotive aftermarket products for new car dealers.
the men i worked for were good people, but lousy businessmen.

This is going to be a tough meeting for me
by truthsearcher ini will be "studying" the chapter about the memorial with my local witness contacts.
as a christian, i find their teachings on christ to be nauseating.. i am looking for a chance to bring out the old russell books and ask them to clear up my confusion about a number of previous teachings.
if anyone thinks of me, and is so inclined, send up a prayer on my behalf for wisdom, clear thinking, and above all that the true love of jesus will shine through me and the spirit will open up some darkened hearts.. ts.

by Hortensia inlast monday my husband, a nice guy, after ranting for a bit about terrorists, came over to me, to kiss me i thought.
he hit my head and then started to choke me, shouting "be healed.
