We're busier than ever !
by Simon inwell, despite some 'doom and gloom' predictions of our imminent demise, last week was the busiest ever for the site in terms of visits with just a few short of 52,000 beating even the dateline and panorama weeks !
(i think quite a few who found us then have stuck around).. a quick tally of the thread viewed counts shows that they have now been viewed over 9.5 million times !
(this is just threads, discounting all the other page views).

Small Signs of Recovery
by OrbitingTheSun inyesterday, while shopping at a local craft store, i ran into the woman that conducted my study.
being inactive and relatively antisocial, this experience normally would have left me a nervous wreck...but for the first time i sensed the tables were turned.
this woman (a pioneer, the wife of an elder, and the mother of a bethelite) has always used her "spiritual" (political) clout to intimidate and manipulate people in my congregation, yet i could tell that this time she was afraid of me for a change.
