Adventures at the DC
by metaspy in[insert indiana jones music] i missed friday's session because i had to work.
actually i wanted to work, instead of go to the dc.. .
i happen to run into a "brother" who happened to work with me on quickbuilds not too long ago.. he was df'd for a bit and reinstated this year.. my mom had talked to him on friday about my current situation (not attending meetings).. he said he wanted to talk to me to see how things were going (red flags in my head).. .

i'm very happy but there's still a dark cloud (pardon the dramatic-ness) i am still with my non-jw boyfriend of almost three years and i've let my parents know that we want to get married (next month) and they went and told the elders(they did it kinda behind my back) who now want to meet and talk with me!

If two thousand years from now...
by changeling ina particular group of people taught others that the world trade center was destroyed on sept. 11, 1981 (instead of 2001) how silly would that be?.
if people knew their history they would know that gw bush was president at the time of the attack (reagan was president in 81).
they would know that al qeada did not exist in 1981. they would know the first gulf war had not been fought yet, etc.... but what if they were not aware of these facts?

Mom is gone
by Katheryn ini'm not much of a poster here, but the passing of my mom on friday is as good a reason as any.. she was in deep, no doubt will be refered to as "faithful to the end" by those who eulogize her.
this new chapter in my life of course has me is a reflecive mood.
i'm sure when she was diagnosed with cancer 4 years ago that her hope was that the "new system" would come before she succumbed.
