  Gee, i guess you all aren't interested in my private life,and relationship problems, so..

  I wanted to post that I went out on service on D-Day, the day after Dateline day. Many of you warned me not to go out, including her, especially, because she cared about me so much,

  Was I supposed to have tomatos thrown at me? stare down the barrel of a rifle? be tarred and feathered? the whole gamut of witness torture?

  No householders ran me down the street, no priests chased after me with clubs( because of their own guilt with kids,of course) and basically, I havent heard a thing from a householder.

  You all have my deepest sympathies, on this horrible situation, But where is the public uproar?

  I heard ,nothing was said at the Zealous Kingdom Proclaimers Convention . All is quiet, back to normal.

  Huh, just thought I'd update, since I was out there that day and a few days that followed.

  Yeah,

  And I used to think, A billion dollars!!! A billion dollars!! Where's my tip?

  We need 20,000 more Kingdom Halls Pronto!! the Brothers and sisters are meeting on dirt floors in Africa.

  By the way, my tip was the delicious lasagna a sweet sister brought over when I had the flu.

  I aint treated too bad.

  No, I'm sorry I don't eat Smarties Candies,

  I like Pez, the cherry flavored in Super-Hero dispensers.

  And I suck them slowly, very slowly.......

  What candy do you like? Chocolate covered cow patties?

  Oh, by the way,

  Aren't smarties the tart little round pastel candies? They aren't chocolate coated, nor are they dyed in a red color. I think you're thinking of M&M's.I eat those, the green colored ones. They're supposed to make you amorous, right?

  Anyways, after this confusion....you're not very "smartie" when it comes to candy. I'm the expert in that area of 7-eleven. LOL

  the Brothers and sisters are meeting on dirt floors in Africa.

  You know, that's something that's always puzzled me. Why isn't the vast wealth of the WBTS more evenly distributed?

  I mean, those brothers in countries where vitually everyone is destitute still have to build their own Kingdom Halls, and it seems they have to finance the building too.

  I'm thinking about the million dollar chandeliers in Bethel while brothers in Africa meet in mud huts. Where's the unity, the brotherhood?

  I guess everyone's equal but some are more equal than others.

  The average householder is, well, average. People don't usually react overtly to things like the Dateline story. People generally react quietly, like they did to Jimmy Carter's economy. They bore it stoically, and voted him out with enthusiasm.

  Dung is right. This will hit them in the pocketbook. It will hit them in new membership, it will hit them in an increase of publishers voting with their feet. It will be quiet, but it will hit them.

  And watch for the lawsuits. The society is a ripe plum, just about to fall into the waiting hand of some attorney. And as soon as the first suit is successful, Katy bar the door. It will be a feeding frenzy. My first trip to New York will be with a placard that I will carry in front of Borg headquarters: "How Are The Mighty Fallen."

  Thanks Mouse man, and Francois for getting back on the subject of Householders reaction to Dateline.

  I haven't experienced anything unpleasant after this except for a few individuals reacting to my post as if I am some 14 year old boy posting for kicks, and eating candy. They must like little boys.

  I'm 24 and I like ice cream.

  Great thought provoking ideas on delayed consequences though.

  Oh,

  I correct myself, Mouse man mentioned about dirt floors for the brothers in Africa, while a Bethel Hotel had a crystal chandelier.

  I remember that chandelier during the wild Bethel Party of 2000. WE did celebrate JUST IN CASE, I got dis-kabooberated and swung from that chandelier. Yes I remember that chandelier. I broke my ankle when I lost my hold. Still have a bad limp.

  I never sat on the dirt floor in Africa though, I'm waiting for my missionary application to go through.
