I am having a bad day
by Vivamus init is wearing me down.. my constant companion in life, my skull-breaking- mind-blowing- daily migraines finally got the better off me six months ago.
i broke down, i cried and cried and cried.
not only cuz of the pain, but more for the fact that painkillers were not helping me anymore.

G'day Brent,
I guess the doctors told you that there are two types of meningitis, viral and bacterial. If you get bacterial, you're in real trouble - seldom will you avoid having some form of permanent damage, perhaps hearing loss etc etc.
I take it you had the required path tests done to determine if there were any nasty bacteria lying around your body? Since you're posting away, I'd say it was viral for if it were bacterial you'd likely not just have the greatest head pain imaginable but you'd also have partial paralysis.
Still you'd be best to rest up - don't overtax your body's resources.
As for pain relief, some morphine or derivative is best but even then you'll only get about ½ hr's relief every 4 hours.
Sorry, it ain't good news I bring!
Hopefully it will pass soon.
Get Well Soon thoughts coming to you from downunder.
Cheers,
Ozzie

Vote for your favorite "celebrated JW scholar"!!
by onacruse innow, there are so many from which to choose...where is one to start?.
well, since i'm an old-timer, i must by default cast my vote for clayton j. woodworth, that inspired author and editor of the golden age who single-handedly warned the world about the dangers of aluminum cookware and vaccinations, among so many other things.. only once in a generation comes along a man with such inspired insights as to baffle the minds of mere ordinary humans..

I'd like to vote for Brother Anonymous who wrote the "Daniel book" - y'know where he wrote that the "ships of Kittim (Cyprus) was actually British Navy ships, "lying off the western coast of Europe".
Huh?? Yeah, right.

Buy a donkey for Christmas
by Doug Mason init is often difficult to see past the crass commercialism that is associated with christmas.
instead of buying one another presents, some families collect the money they would have spent on one another and donate it to a genuine charity to enable them to buy a donkey, a well, support for an orphaned child, or some other essential need for villagers in a struggling third world country.

G'day Country Woman! Nice to 'see' you again!
I do so agree with this:
(there is a small insurance company here - sending each year a letter which is telling me "we have donated the amount else involved in the Christmas-cards to charity - and then I am thinking : you could have forget that letter as well and spent the money for the stamps as well for charity.)
I am not interested in the welfare gifts of others.
I think that it ain't opportune to let the world know that I (or whoever involved) is such a "good" person.
I have always thought that sending the gift card implies that the gift to charity was only given because it was a substitute for a gift to a friend or loved one. Why not give a gift to both?
Like you say, a case of "blowing your trumpet" !

The latest 'developments are reported here: http://www.findmadeleine.com/
Well, that's what 'they' claim anyway!
But here's another 'angle', it's from "TIME" magazine : http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1661684,00.html
And even more thought provoking is this, from "The Times" : http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/europe/article2422967.ece
Very strange affair.

Latest Australian JW statistics
by jwfacts ini have just updated the graphs of jws in australia with the 2007 statistics.
there is a spike in australia similar to the increased growth this year globally.
there does not seem to be any real reason for this, so the question needs to be asked, "how legitimate the figures are this year?

That is the saddest thing about being an exJW that still believes. Many are haunted by it for their entire lives. I
Yes, how sad it is! So many 'leave' but you have to wonder if they've really left. I think to be accurate many leavers (like those who were DFed) should be referred to as lapsed for until they've taken a public stand of DA they can't really be thought of as real ex-Dubs.
