That was so beautiful Quendi. You should write travel brochures! You made me want to go to Colorado to see all the equisite beauty that you so eloquently described.
Your obvious appreciation of natural beauty I'm sure will help you to adjust to the change of scenery in Alabama. There is beauty all arounnd us. Leslie

I molested the bees & lost
by nuthouse escapee ina week ago i was mowing the grass with a push mower and accidently mowed over a ground bee/wasp nest.
got stung several times.
thought it was black flies biting my ankles until they got up inside my shorts and got me twice on one finger.

Moshe forgive me for sympathizing & laughing at the same time. At least it was only the pool and not something with more dire consequences. I felt like a brain dead moron in the triage at the hospital. The nurse is asking me questions and she had to repeat several times for me to understand what she was asking me. I just sort of had this blank look on my face.
Painted Toenail (BTW love your name) Yes they are sneaky. Surprised me!

Hooray- I have a pickup truck again!!
by moshe ini went for 2-1/2 years without a truck- my wife told i would never survive without a truck-- i think she is a smart cookie- it was so hard going to garage sales with a small hatchback and not being able to buy that moosehead for my man-cave.. anyway- this is a former comcast cable tv truck- it was repainted and from the looks of the interior, it looks like a supervisor drove it carefully for 237,000 miles - which is a record for me - i got it for $2200- a 2001 ford f-150.
it had an old leaky transmission- which i have just had replaced with a rebuilt one for $950- i am getting 18-19mpg, so i think that v6 will last me for a long time- retirees don't put a lot of miles on their rides-- - and no rust- anywhere!.

Way to go Moshe. Nice truck. Hubby & I are planning to get a pick-up in the spring. We'll be looking for used as well. They are certainly handy. (Your wife is definitely a smart cookie) Leslie

I have no sympathy what-so-ever for the GB. I think they are totally aware that it is total BS. There are many of us who left the organization and gave up friends and family because we have something they don't, Personal Integrity.
Someone who is knowingly misleading others for personal selfish reasons doesn't even get my pity. So maybe they're staying because they want financial security in their old age? Tough! Look how many JW's & ex JW's are living in poverty because of the education policies of the GB. Sorry for the rant. Leslie

Happy Birthday Glander.
I absolutely love September here in Southern Ontario. The leaves are starting to turn, the nights have that crispness to them (great for sleeping) and the night sky is so clear that the stars look like diamonds on a black velvet cloth.

At what age do people 'wake up'?
by Splash ini was thinking about this question recently after being at the meeting when new pioneers were announced for the 2013 service year.. we have a dozen or so pioneers in the congregation, and most are in their 20's.
some absolutely love the things they are taught and can't wait to spread the good news.. others in the congregation are going through the motions, tired of hearing the same old same old but have no way to change things now.
then there are a couple like me.

Was born in, woke up at 45 & got totally out at 48. A few things got the wheels turning in my head. The first thing was the criticism of Catholics for their pedophile problem while hiding pedophiles within the JW. religion. Next was their criticism of churches asking for $$$ when there were so many meeting parts and articles on giving $$$ to to the WT. A big eye-opener on that was when they started telling people how they could will their stocks, homes, even jewelry to the society.
Another thing was the vitriol spewed aginst homosexuals. IMHO I believe a person is born gay, or they're not. We were always told that people 'chose' to be gay. I always thought, why would someone 'choose' a sexual preference that would cause them to become a social pariah. It just didn't make sense.
The last biggie for me was the hypocritical criticism of other religions that had their own literature such as Mormons with the Book of Mormon or Catholics with the Catechism, etc. The WT. is no different. We were not encouraged to read the Bible & pray for answers to questions, but were directed to look up things in the WT. publications.
That's my 2 cents. Leslie

The last few lines just above the soldier's pic made me sick. "Faith based on accurate knowledge becomes...a large shield that PROTECTS US FROM EMOTIONAL and spiritual harm.
Yeah right! Tell that to all the ones emotionally devasted by this cult. Leslie

Seven times
by Jeffro inthe book of daniel was almost certainly written in the 2nd century bce, probably based on some historical accounts mixed with jewish folklore.
with that in mind, and given that there isn't any evidence that nebuchadnezzar went insane for seven 'times', is there any other period from which the reference to "seven times" at daniel 4:13-17 may be derived?.
i continued beholding in the visions of my head upon my bed, and, look!
