Yes it was,\n\nHappy are you when people . . . lyingly say every sort of wicked thing against you for my sake.—Matt. 5:11.\n\nJewish leaders said of the early Christians: “Truly as regards this sect it is known to us that everywhere it is spoken against.” (Acts 28:22) Paul and Silas were accused of having “overturned the inhabited earth,” acting “in opposition to the decrees of Caesar.” (Acts 17:6, 7) Such false accusations did not prevent the early Christians from carrying out their commission to preach the good news of the Kingdom. In 60-61 C.E., Paul was able to speak of the “good news” that was “bearing fruit and increasing in all the world” and that had been “preached in all creation that is under heaven.” (Col. 1:5, 6, 23) Today, Jehovah’s Witnesses are being falsely accused, even as the first-century Christians were. Yet, the work of preaching the Kingdom message prospers and brings those who share in it much happiness.

I love that show, it's my favorite show.  To Adam M:  SAM AND DAVID ARE NOT ANNOYING!  They are the two most smartest kids I have ever seen, in a long time.  I feel the show is purely genuine.  I missed last night's show (forgot all aobut it).  Glad to hear Lucy's pregnant again.  I hope Simon and Rose don't get married.  Hope Simon comes to his senses and sees her for what she really is (which is a self-centerd, conceited jerk). Hope Ruthie meets that special someone, I haven't yet. What's going on with Sandy, Martin and their son?  Hope Simon marries Sandy; they are made for each other.  I think Eric and Annie are the best parents any family could have.  Well, that's all folks.

Hi bellbree,\n\n I was walking to the corner market for a loaf of bread when I had to pass by a neighborhood church. I was somewhat acquainted with the structure as it was always mentioned in the newspaper's community section. Known as "The loft," folks would gather there on Thursday evenings for poetry readings. \nHowever, this day happened to be a Saturday afternoon and a pair of gentlemen greeted me as I walked by. They invited me inside to sample an hour of their presentation. Ok, I went inside and found myself to be a prospective new recruit for their brand of religion. \n\nMost of the pews were filled with hooded monks chanting a haunting rhythm. There were others who like me, were wearing their regular denims. The service began like most other church-goers would be familiar with. A grand master of ceremonies led the group through some songs and gave a sermon. Near the end of the hour it was time for their ritual of "laying on of the hands." Some of the parishioners would come forward and ask for prayers for their ailments or for a sick grand mum who fell down in the tub. All the hooded dudes whose faces could not readily be seen would all place a hand on the person and their combined energies were presumed to have a strength and expedite a solution to the problem. \n\nOK now, there was another new guy in the pews who was watching eagerly. I recognized Mark W. Reinhold from the wanted poster at the post office. When he saw a chance, he approached the ring of conspirators and described how he was never able to settle down. The hooded goons closed in upon him, all to make a physical connection. The master of ceremonies began a prayer, a dogmatic mix of logic and pure hocus-pocus. I immediately saw the effects as the tension went out of Mark's body. When the beseeching was near an end, the master asked, "Are the brothers ready?" \n\nA suspenseful few moments passed until he almost shouted, "NOW!" \n\nOn that cue, the brothers began to pummel their hapless victim. Continually delivering blows over head and to the solar plexus until Mark was down on the floor getting stomped. After another minute, the grand Pooh-Bah decided the treatment administered was sufficient to induce a relaxing calm that would assuage the nervousness in Mark for a long, long time. \n\nI can't say for certain that Mark W. Reinhold was apprehended and locked up because, I had a loaf of bread to buy and some other errands to do that day. I hope for you bellbree, that you find a sense of closure to this bad episode of life. \n\n-Bryce

Hey :o) \n\nI was considering going to a party tonight at a local club, because a friends' band is playing and it would be nice to support them, but I dont know if i'll actually end up going.  \n\nI have to make a card for a friends' birthday, because she want's all home-made cards.  I dont have enough money right now to go on her birthday outing, but I figured I should at least make her a card! \n\nI have quite a bit of homework to do, specifically for Law and History.  I will hopefully get at least one piece done either today or tomorrow, and maybe do history between Church services on Sunday (when I generally feel inspired to attack even the most difficult of pieces of work!) \n\nOn Sunday I am going to Mormon church in the morning, and probably to my normal methodist church in the evening.  \n\nI hope you have a wonderful weekend, love and peace to all!

Oh it was really good, I remember when Jenny Powell and some real pleb south London casual called Tony (I wonder where he is now??)  were picked as the presenters - it was sooo exciting. And all this in the days when Jonathan King wasn't yet a perv!! I'm sure there would have been a cassette soundtrack at some stage, wasn't it a bit before CDs hit the bigtime? xxx

Ralph got roasted on Friday and today you missed Jenna Jameson. Also George Takei was there the first week and this week they have Danny Bonaduce.\nThe best part is hearing all the uncensored stuff it's great.\nAlso they play the show 3 times a day so if you missed part of it you can catch it later.\nSo don't be cheap get a unit now!

Hilarious. You now have gotten the masses so excited. I see some ready to pack up and head to Jesus land. I'm already living above it so I don't need the ride but thanks for the offer.\nLove & Light\nSharon

I have recently been sleeping up to 16 hours with no problem. I decided to go back and talk to my therapist. I'm feeling better now. I'm taking omega 3 fish oils and a daily vitamin. I also bought a book called Battlefield of the mind. Great read. It's helping. Isn't it weird how those Jehovah's witnesses always come over when your life is in a puddle. I don't not like them but I don't agree with their religion.

Hi Tamara,\nI met the Dr. Sells once. I was walking to the corner market for a loaf of bread when I had to pass by a neighborhood church.

I hope for you Tamara, that you do find a sense of closure to this difficult episode of life. \n\nRegards,Trevor

That's so damn funny! \n\nThe coolest thing is God is up there laughing right along with us. Atleast my God can take a joke.\n\nFavorite quote, George Burns, "God is a comedian playing to an audience that's afraid to laugh."\n\nKeep it coming! Really helps passing the time in the silence of 3rd shift

First of all, you are to be commended for struggling to find the truth amidst misinformation and predjudices! Titus 2:7 says in "all things show yourself uncorrupted in your teaching,showing seriousness and speech which cannot be condemned, so that the man on the opposing side may get ashamed,having nothing vile to say about us." So keep up the good work!     When I study my Watchtower, I read it once, just to read it.Then I go through it with my daughter and we answer the questions together. The third time I go through it, I look up the scriptures mentioned and usually write them in the margins of my magazine. That way,even later, I can always go back and look in that magazine and see at a glance what scripures were brought out,the definitions of any words I did not understand or the pronunciation of any Biblical name I couldn't get right( which I also write in the margins) I also underline in pencil (I use colored pencils,different colors have different meanings for me)the scriptures in the Bible that have any sort of special meaning for me.  These are just MY studying methods;you will come into your own in time!! Good luck to you,and your efforts to come into the truth please Jehovah God more than you could know!!  By the way, real Christian-like ,your comments,Rev,Kipp. I'm sure God is real proud of you...
