Thank you all for such wonderful compliments and encouragement! I absolutely LOVE being this age-anything is within reach once you put your mind to it, and doors open that you never knew were there. You just have to LOOK! Now, Marist isn't in the Catskills, I AM! I live North West of the school, an hour's drive each way, but not too far for Po-town boys and girls to come to the party!

Johnny Cash

by Schizm in

any johnny cash fans here?

if not, shame on the forum!

the late, great johnny cash was born and raised in arkansas, and by the time he was a mere 12 years of age, he was already writing his own songs.

The BIGGEST fan here! And we have 20 personal electric guitars + a stock of 100 Acoustics-does that qualify? ColoredFolkGuitars.com

Hey all-Guess who's graduating from Marist College, with honors, just 3 days after her 47th birthday!?! Yes, ME! I want to extend a genuine invitation for all who are, or will be, in the Catskill Mnts region of upstate NY to join me for 2 days of celebration. Be sure to bring your tents and guitars! Beginning Saturday May 22nd at 3pm, through Sunday May 23rd, I will be sharing the joy of completing and honoring a promise to my son Paul, who was killed just 2 days after forcing me to enroll in college to begin with, and coming full circle by way of fulfilling my day dreams as a depressed, young, uneducated JW girl longing to be a college student! Directions are simple and available through email to all who would join me! HOORAY for me! Now I can dedicate more time to helping EVERYONE attain this goal who may feel discouraged and incapable. It takes time for some to realize they all were, and are, capable of ANYTHING now, I am living proof!

Too Good To Be True Yearbook Experiences

by Nosferatu in

allright everyone, do you remember some of the yearbook experiences, or yearbook worthy ones about how a bible study was started?

then you get jws trying to copy the examples, such as pretending to read an awake magazine on a bus, hoping someone will ask, "what are you reading that's so interesting?

" or leaving tracts in chain link fences, hoping someone will pull it out and look at it.. give some of the lame experiences you've heard, you've experienced, or make one up.

A woman who practiced "SPIRITISM" (~~ooooooh~~) was so overwhelmed by depression, chaos, and longing for the "true" religion. She asked her Ouija board for help, by pleading "Who has the true religion?" Guess what the "evil" board, propelled by only those "afraid of Jehovah's name," told her?!? You got it! "Jehovah's Witnesses!" As fate would have it they came a-knockin that very day! Now, as a 14 year old hearing this, and having spent endless nights awake, praying 8 hrs straight alone, terrified of demons (I have been left disappointed in the many years after I got out that they never visited me afterall, despite my continued invitations!) I was beyond confused. Here, as I was told, was J "using an evil implement (he is strongerthan the demons you know) to get word to her." Hmmmm.....now, either the demons were having a big joke on her, or, they aren't evil if JW's WERE the true religion, or it is actually the real angels of light who communicate through the Ouija, or,... it was endless for me. I believe none of the above anyway, but thought I would share that insanity with you. They shared that bull shit at an assembly, in the late 70's, at Monroe NY too. ICK!

Having been continuously BRAINWASHED from birth (3rd Generation), ALIENATED from society, INSULATED within the congregation, and CONTROLLED through FEAR, I can answer empirically; "ABSOLUTELY!."
