35 Years Ago Today - John Lennon - Peace Advocate was Murdered
by flipper inin this age of violence with the san bernardino and france massacres sometimes it's good to reflect on the wise words of the peace advocates among us who proposed a better solution in bringing a more civil society to our universe.
john lennon, martin luther king jr. - people who stood up for equal rights and world peace and denounced violence and war - no matter how that violence occurs.
please feel free to comment on stories of john lennon on this thread and feel free to post any you tubes of his music that you may have enjoyed through the years.

..hence she self-evidently turned down her future inheritance alike - own guilt - and leaves for the org to solicit for it. But anyway these excommunicated should have besides that furthermore a guilty conscience if after loosing inhertance they would not help the aged witnesses financially. -

THE OAF and the ONE-LEGGED MAN
by Terry inthe oaf and the one-legged man.
spatters of rain dribbled into unsettled silence.. the man with the prosthetic leg dropped the umbrella from his shoulder and shook it onto the sidewalk in front of the bookstore.
his scooter chair roosted nearby like a guide dog for a blind man.. steadying himself, he exchanged tattered raingear for his cane and wobbled uneasily toward the door handle.a tall man with a van dyke beard held the door open for him with a neighborly grin.. "you get caught in this downpour on that thing?

Wonderful self reflexio? contemplation? enriched with so many vivid details of Dubs daily struggle. The details made me laugh more than once...how he handles the seemingly endless series of difficulties. The whole situations is a little bit funny and sarcastic at once, but never base rather lovely personalities apear, like yours.
Some passages like ."played appreciation towards clients"
" the temperature was fifteen degrees too cold "
"As he speaks he deliberately speeds up his work" have drawn my attention.
It was interesting how you describe persons and objects (like the cup) interact and become part of the adventure, on a little spot in a corner of a bookshop.
Terry, Have it been experiences like those that made you to an author?

More than once breathless and couldnt believe that the story was true. How could that really happen to anyone ever.? Such a fortuity.
Precision landing on my emotions and my tension. Thank you.
P.S. I wondered why just Fort Worth, why was just F.Worth It worth?

Plans for huge Jehovah's HQ take shape
by Formerbrother inhttp://www.chelmsfordweeklynews.co.uk/news/11227290.plans_for_huge_jehovah_s_hq_take_shape/.
its going to be a real beautiful place when its finished.. they are going for quality over quantity.
it used to be accommodation for a few thousand permanent residents, now its looking like less than a thousand permanent with the possibility of a few thousand more in temporary accommodation should the need arise.. some say the plans are going to be like a garden of eden in england :) i mean they had farming in london over the years but this is going to be epic what they are planning for temple farm at chelmsford.. they are planting thousands (literally) of fruit trees, including tropical fruits in huge green houses, huge vines yards and then the same basic farming activities as before.

You should not be huffy so quick. I simply have read some threads here on this forum about the same issue. It has become a daily news now that the religion has enough money that is not shared with the poor but stockpiled.

What is Chanukka?Prayers of Hannuka candle light festival here from the tube.
So why not, lets celebrate like Jesus did and speak the prayer as he prayed once ago.
Is the jewish culture new for you, foreign? It should not be at all because Jesus was a Jew.
(I once talked with a muslim woman, and she was astonished to here that Jesus was a Jew. "Whaaaat? Not true..... the Jews are cursed"..as this was the most normal matter of the world)
