Sure, invite them over at say 4 pm... and when they arrive open the door with a "cocktail" for both of them and say : it is "happy hour"....make sure you have already had one or 2 by that time.

You be their "tour guide" for that return visit!!!

Local Elder Comes By My Work & He Left Looking Discouraged!

an elder that lives in the same area as my work came by and noticed i was waiting on customers.

he left and waited for them to leave.

then he came back in.

Min, I like the fact that you didn't answer every one of his questions, as they were too personal. JW's feel this prying "need to know everything" about you..........I hate that!!!

The ball was definitely in your "court"...congrats

What Questions From Readers Doesn't Tell You

by metatron in

the sept. 1 watchtower has a question from readers concerning the 144,000. it asks how we know if the number 144,000. is a literal number.

it then quotes from a scholar, robert thomas, who wrote an exegetical commentary on revelation.. he says that , in revelation 7, the contrast of a definite number ( 144,000) with an indefinite number ( the "great crowd").

proves that the 144,000 is a literal number.. .

I ditto what Min said, most JW's wouldn't get it!!! They think they are God's Channel.........end of story.

Things kids say & do that bring a lump to your throat

by Simon in

you know what i mean ... when they do something **so** nice that you nearly start to blub !!.

the other day angharad had gone out and i was joking with the kids that with mum gone, they could have a pint of beer with me if they wanted (to see what they would say).. liam (7) told me in an earnest voice "dad, i don't think i'm old enough to drink beer yet.

i think i have to be 16" (16 = grown up to him for everything ... he's already sussing out how old he needs to be to drive).. well, i told him how i was proud he was so sensible and wasn't afraid to stand up and say "no" and that i was really looking forward to when he was old enough to take me out and buy me a pint of beer (ok, father-son moment ... i was getting emotional already).
