  Last Thursday's Service Meeting

  in the event you had the misfortune to miss thursday's service meeting.

  1. boring announcements and an equally frustratng review of what needs to be done to prepare for the memorial.

  as if all in attendance needed to be involved in bringing the glasses, wine, bread, and the appropriate accoutrements.. 2. a 20 minute review of how to place the time and location on the memorial invitation.

  The same people who apparently need a class on map reading are expected to understand the 70 weeks/banded tree stump/Gentile times/last days prophecies? Come on.

  if you're like me, you used to dread certain days of the week.

  mainly, tuesdays and thursdays for me.

  waste the entire day at school, then come home, take a shower, scarf down supper and be ready to go by 6:30pm.

  It has been noted in recent years that some delegates have been leaving their rooms unkempt. In order to avoid detracting from the message and inkeeping with the command for each one to "carry his own load," it is suggested that delegates bring their own cleaning supplies in order to leave the room as it was originally presented. In lieu of a monetary gratuity, Watchtower and Awake! magazines or a relevant brochure may be left, therefore allowing hotel personnel to "keep storing up treasures in heaven."-Matthew 6:20

  I totally relate, Lucky Nun. Tuesdays and Thursdays were just different, in that they sucked. There was this overwhelming sense of dread on those days all through my childhood. That weirdness is just now going away. It's really hard to explain the concept to anyone who didn't grow up a JW. The "T" days were different, they had their own feeling, like there was no hope on those days. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday were fine-----no dubbish activities pre-planned. As a kid, I woke up with anticipation on those days, especially Friday. You're right, it is SO good to be free from that bullshit finally. Every day has its own optimism now. Saturday and Sunday mornings are mine, as they should be. Growing up a JW absolutely blew.

  how much does a persons avatar affect how you view them?

  i mean, don't you picture the avatar when you think of the person, if that's all you have to go by?

  i know i do, at least if the avy is a photo of a human.

  Corvin: Speaking of avatars and such, I wonder if you could apply all your "Hunyadi" posts toward your new screen name. I mean, you're not a newbie, why should you be posted as such? Just a thought. : )

  on her radio show, dr laura schlesinger said that, as an observant orthodox jew, she views homosexuality as an abomination according to leviticus 18:22, and cannot condone it under any circumstance.

  the following response is an open letter to dr. laura, penned by a us resident, which was posted on the internet.. .
