yesterday i quit smoking.
its something i have been thinking of trying for a while, and i finally got round to it.
it was a tough day and a sleepless night, i probably had a couple of hours, and i am under no illusions about today being any easier.
I wish you much success!

i am so shocked by the devastation in the south from katrina.
watch the news channel for a few minutes and you can imagine the grief, heartbrake and misery that thousands of people are experiencing as we read this board.
please, if you have any money at all to donate, do it now while it is fresh in your mind.
I'm donating all the $$$ I can to the Red Cross and to the Salvation Army.
Those 2 organizations kicked butt big time when we needed them last year during our tragedy with Charlie. They were outstanding with everyone, not just their own.

i can't believe it.
the congregations in the city are organizing a relief effort.
they're asking for toiletries, non-perishable food items, and bottled water.
The JWs do a marvelous job at helping out... but only their own.
It's their modus operandi, and it's not going to change anytime soon. Their way of rescuing their own is absolutely superb! Even more so if the person happens to be very active and considered a 'pillar' in the congregation or if you're 'well connected' with the heavy ones.
Well, looking at it positively, at least they offer some sort of help if only to a chosen few. If every group or religious organization would offer the same sort of help, the problem wouldn't be as much for the government.

everybody pictures the new system as a paradise, but i'm sure that there will be lousy jobs, just like today.. well, some will be garbage men, picking up the trash house to house.
not too pleasing for a new system job.. name other lousy jobs some will have to do even in the new system.
Dear God,
Make this my request: If it's true that you have a new system for mankind in which things will be better all around, I'll take any job available just to be part of your just new system.

maybe they'll take a cue from president bush and get involved?

hey guys,.
just thought i'd let those interested know what the north texas part of the org is/isn't doing to help in the relief effort from a first hand account.. first of all, we all know that the society isn't helping anyone that isn't a dub, maybe unless they are a serious bible study or something.
that being said, by monday we had several refugees camping out at different brother and sisters' homes, most of whom they were already friends with or were referred to by mutual friends.

a number of people of late have noticed the concilliatory stance i take towards the jehovah's witnesses -- both as individuals and even as an organization.
they have quite rightly pointed out that i appear to "defend" the organization and it's members from attacks that i feel are unwarranted or unnecessary.
too often, i feel, this forum becomes a gripe session in which mighty ex-jw throngs feel the need to paint the organization or individual jws as totally devoid of any good qualities whatsoever.
Going off the deep end again B.?
Take it easy!
