But, but God speaks to you everytime you see a rainbow or a lol cat or... or Brad Pitt (that is one fine looking man).
He's more of a show without the tell kind guy.

by bobld in"of course,a close relationship will not last if one person does all the talking.
(in this case it is me talking to god)just as friends enjoy two-way communication,(right on)we should allow god to speak to us(yes i have allowed him to speak but he says nothing)and we should listen to him when he does.
(iam still waiting for him to say something).

did this really happen?

Anyone who thinks witnessing for ten hours a month is pioneering is way too desperate for a title.
What would all the self respecting reg pioneers think.
Are these people so desperate for a title of some kind or do they just enjoy creating class systems
and heirarchies amongst the brothers. Subsets of a subset.

That sounds like big fun misfit.
I love theme parties but we were counseled here about how inappropriate they were.
Bloody killjoys.

Too true tal, such a shame all those missed opportunities to celebrate life.
I could never understand the no-birthday thing. I remember reading in Job
how his children would go to "a banquet at the house of each one on his own day"
and thought that sounds like a birthday celebration to me.
That sucks you were not a part of your parents big anniversary. This cult destroys family life.
zeb- you are right the sisters would revolt at the suggestion of toning down anniversary celebrations.
swn- no big city show-offs just an oversupply of wannabe JW celebrities.

You ate the props, that's funny.
BTW, cream of cauliflower soup is delicious with a teaspoon of horseradish cream added at the blending stage.

I have nothing left in the tank, I need help
by Yondaime ini dont have the willpower to attend meetings anymore.
i'm literally on the sound system list every week.
i'm either reading on sunday or tuesday, praying on tuesday nites, adjusting mics, passing mics, or working the sound system, or doing last minute parts for the service meeting.

Your education and your sanity are more important than passing microphones
at the meeting so put yourself first, you will thank yourself for it one day.
As for the fam, they will not die because your taking responsibility for your own self.
They may not like it at first but it won't kill them.

You can't just describe that and not post the recipe along with some mouthwatering photos.
C,mon where's your inner Jaimie Oliver or Gordon Ramsey.

I don't know about you, but the various congs I have been in there have
been some seriously over the top wedding anniversaries that border on the obscene
re the level of couple worship. I'm talkin lavish spare-no-expense type affairs,
with hundreds in attendance. Dancing, expensive gifts, speeches etc etc.
Now don't get me wrong, I love parties, I have nothing against dancing on tables,
champagne, cake, swinging from chandeliers, more champagne, but these parties
seemed to me, to be screaming: "We may not do B,days and xmas but by God we
make up for it with our anniversaries".
I know some worldy people who catered these functions and felt compelled to ask
the elephant in the room question which is
Why is this OK but not celebrating the birth of someone?
