by teenyuck ini am watching the news and crying...i did not see the cbs special or 60 minutes last night; i just heard a phone call someone made from the 86th floor of the first tower...he was trapped and called his wife to tell her he loved her and was trying to get out... .
i can recall having on nbc that morning...i switch between that and cnbc.
when the reporters tried to understand what was happening, other reporters were running to the wtc to see what had happened.... as the images were shown, it was terrifying....i, like many, thought it was a small plane that crashed...as the information came out that it was a jumbo jet, the feeling was a profound feeling of illness..... as the news shows watched the first tower burn, the second airline came and right before our eyes crashed into the second tower....then 30 minutes later, the pentagon was hit...then a plane hijacked in pennsylvania.

Whats your fav song or band?
by Beans inother than the kingdom songs i`m sure we must have squeezed in some time to listen to the radio between territories and on the way to the mettings.. my musical tastes vary from classical to heavy head banging music,basically i like everything!i love the cult,rush,van halen,boston,etc anything from the 80`s retro era.. but my favourite song would be everything counts by depech mode and she sells sanctuary by the cult!.
beans.

***AN EXPERIENCE !!! ***
by zev intoday, a coworker finished reading my d.a.
letter i have prepared, but not sent yet.. part of my recovery from the damaged caused from membership in the cult has been to be open and honest as to who i am, was and what i was involved in.. so i gave him the letter to read, and he gave it back today, two weeks later, and said:.
"i told my wife, if they ever come knocking at our door, tell them to leave, and if they won't, call the police".

Single at 40 .JW virgins.
by sleepy income on admit it, if you were brought up a witness you were dead scared that you were going to end up like the men you saw prowling the assembles and congregations looking for wives.. there would always be men and women in there 30's and 40 who had never had a boy or girl friend.. i used to know quite a few.. the horror of their lives shocks me.. now i not dissing anyone who has chosen not to marry that is their choice.but these people i know want to meet someone and get married.. but the bad news is that the older they get the harder it is to find a wife .what makes it worse is that the choice is so limited.. many of these grown men are even affraid of women .
why?.
because they are taught that even to look at a woman is to commit imorality let alone talk to one.. i knew a brother who had never had a girl friend , he was about 26 at the time.now a sister asks to go out with him so he accepts.quite soon she wants to hold his hand.. this brother now tells her off, for in the family book it says holding hands is only for people who are going to get married.. he doesn't go out with such a spiritually weak sister again.. what has the socity done to these peoples lives.. many people who were once happy teenagers hoping to meet the wife or husband of their dreams are now approaching 40 or even older and have never even had a girlfriend.theri only hope is the new system and i don't want to breack the news to them but its not coming.
