(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).

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.

10 hour basic pioneer provision question

i remember hearing about this rumor around the time of the annual meeting.

did this really happen?

i haven't heard anything about it at my meeting yet.

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.

once i loved the sound of your voice, butyour words have become meaningless.

as you venture into a state that leaves me,your companion, at a loss as to what to.

think, to do, if ever again i should link myheart and soul and body to one like you.. your honey words no longer melt in my earsthough, surely, they become fainter as you.

Beautiful and profound words Sir CoCo.

You always manage to touch my heart.

ott wedding anniversary celebrations, what's that all about?.

i don't know about you, but the various congs i have been in there have.

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.

Perfect emblems to partake of on a cold eve...

by Gregor in

cream of butternut squash soup with garlic bread croutons and a good red wine.

a little gruyere cheese grated on the piping hot soup.

yes, i am a partaker and will be going to heaven..

sparrowdown

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.
