Where did it all go wrong?
by THE GLADIATOR inbeing a jehovahs witness is getting easier with each worldly year that passes.
time is not getting shorter but meetings are, along with assemblies.
in my day the closing prayer lasted longer than the whole modern assembly.

IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT.
by THE GLADIATOR inthree cheers for australia!
muslims who want to live under islamic sharia law were told on wednesday to get out of australia, as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks.
a day after a group of mainstream muslim leaders pledged loyalty to australia at a special meeting with prime minister john howard, he and his ministers made it clear that extremists would face a crackdown.

by THE GLADIATOR inpost card from snowdonia.
we have just returned from a week in snowdonia, north wales.
my first impression of the beamed cottage we rented for a week was that it was dusty and in need of refurbishment.

A chance at the big prize - just because they ate too much!
by THE GLADIATOR inthis jw teaching that those who die at armageddon will not be resurrected but those who die before armageddon will be resurrected, always seemed unfair to me.. many have given up waiting for god to get his finger out and cleanse the earth of sinners like me.
they have concluded that the awe inspiring day of jehovah - armageddon no less - is a hoax.
dreamed up by john, high on something hallucinogenic and presented as a divine revelation.

The French Connection continues...
by THE GLADIATOR injust returned from a 3 day sojourn to france with my older abrother.
the overnight ferry pushed on through a sea of snoring to arrive on time in le havre.
i drove as my stoic brother examined his seat belt and air bag and quietly contemplated the possibility of an afterlife.

Memories of My Childhood
by THE GLADIATOR inwith a full-time job, his responsibilities as a servant, endless door-to-door work, a young family and a house to renovate, fathers nervous energy found an outlet in his constant movement.
he only seemed to sit down to eat or study one of the many watchtower publications that now filled a whole bookcase.. do you have to do that?
why dont you sit down, youll wear the carpet out, mother complained, as he paced up and down the small room.. this was no ordinary carpet.
