been a while, it has
by chickpea insoooo i fired up the interwebs to come looking for the date of the memorial, as a dear friend who stood by me through those crazy and sadly wasted years in dub-dumb mentioned she had seen a still faithful member at the library... she said he invited her to "the world wide memorial" .... and i was pretty sure that there had been a full moon yada yada and the memorial had come and gone.... .
i ended up coming back here to verify and realized she must have been asked to that lame ass event where "the same talk is given from every platform" and ooooh how fired up can you be about virtually nothing?
anyway, nice to see the place is still rockin' and that there is a continuity of personnel (that means old timers!

Dear Mother -- Is that a lie or a mistake?
by FatFreek 2005 ini believe that jehovah's witnesses are mostly honest people.
it's unfortunate for the honest ones -- especially embarrasing -- if they're ambushed by some person in their door to door work with evidence that their leadership throughout modern history has knowingly said things that are not true.
the following essay attempts to document one such trail of watchtower dishonesty.

did you wear your poppy with pride?
by highdose ineven though i've been out for three years now this year was the first time i paid attention to the royal british legion and its poppy appeal.
rather than now dissmissing it as glorifing murderers and war.
i now view it as a brilliant cause that rasies money for wounded service men and women and their widows and children.. i wore my poppy with pride and will now do so each year..

Watching Rocky Horror for the 1st time
by rebel8 inand it's weird.. it's one of those things i was afraid to do post-dubbery because it was supposedly evil.
once i got over that, i kind of forgot to see it.. evil it's not.
