Anyone watched the film 'Sicko'?
by katiekitten ini watched this film last night, and it made me really really grateful that we have free health care in the uk.
i know we complain about the state of the nhs, but the bottom line is if there is ever anything wrong with me my first thought will not be 'does my insurance cover this' or 'can i afford this'.. there was one part of the film where michael moore takes some people to cuba to get free health care and one woman picks up inhalers for 5 cents a piece, that are costing her $120 in the us.
she just breaks down and crys at the disparity of the cost.. it was also telling to see the insurance companies employ people specifically to try and find ways to deny claims or to void policies where a claim has been made.

New Eagles CD
by purplesofa into me the most overplayed band on the radio, ever, is the eagles.. today i bought their new cd.. its nice, i like it.
it brings back an old comfortable feeling from long ago, but it is new and fresh.. waiting in the weeds written by don henley ( a few of the lyrics from this song).
it's comin' on the end of august, another summer's promise amost gone.

Confused...
by millymollymandy inhi, i've been lurking on here for a few days but i have a burning question that needs to be answered so i'm outing myself... .
i'm a non-jw (non-christian, in fact) and i've been in a relationship with a jw for the last five years.
we're both pretty young (early 20s) and he still lives at home with his devoutly jw family.

Is There Really a Lawyer's Fund for Litigation?
by Connaughty ini read recently that certain key men involved with the united way (charity org) were experiencing some legal issues here in canada.
it seems that they didn't operate by the rules of the charity.
does the wbts society have any rules to abide by?

High Def TV ..This is bad
by Connaughty ini recently attended our special assembly day and the visiting speaker put down hdtv because he didn't think we needed it.
he said that we've been watching tv for many years now without it.
i don't know what bethel is going to do when the tv networks switch to that system.

Birthdays
by sacrebleu inhave any of you noticed how birthdays make you feel?
mine is ignored by my jw sister but when she turned 60 she called me the day before, the day and the day after wanting some kind of recognition.. why should i acknowledge hers when she ignores mine.
it does feel lonesome when the day comes and goes without a call or anything from the jw relatives.. i should be thankful that my hubby and children are not and have never been mixed up in that junk, but my sister is older than me and when i was born and she was so happy to have a little sister.

Annual Meeting Notes - Oct. 6, 2007 and personal notes
by Dogpatch inbro jackson.
indicates total destruction of the wicked system and its spirit.. we (the anointed) are prepared for that day.
they didnt see the whole picture and only had a limited perspective so they lost confidence in jehovah and moses.
