today at the meeting an elder said the following: "we don't want to focus on.
the life that we have now, we have to focus on the life that we will have in the.
new order.
JW's will sacrifice the one and only life that they have for a future life that may not
even happen
This is so true. They have no idea how to enjoy life NOW. My "worldly" husband thinks my parents (and others) stick with the religion because they are afraid of dying. They have a chance of NEVER dying, so they stick with it.

Doing great. One question that someone may know. I used to like to hit hte "Active Topics" at the top of the JWD pages. I don't see that here - am I just missing it?

i've been trying red wine the last few weeks or so.
i have acid reflux and it messed (any wine really) with my tummy.
now i take nexium and my tummy is great.
There are a couple of reasonably priced red wines you can buy at Costco right now.
We love Edmeades Zinfandel 2006 - I believe the price is 12.99.
Also at Costco, a red table wine we tried at a party and really liked. Called Menage a Trois (California Red Wine) and the price is $6.99. Since it is so inexpensive, we use it as our every day dinner wine.
We have a favorite cab from a boutique winery not to far from where we live. It is called Albertina and it is a Cabernet Sauvignon. Quite tasty and runs about $25, but you can probably only order it from the website.
Have to say that I am partial to Zinfandels. I love the big, juicy flavor that is generally associated with zins.
Good luck on your wine search.

"they" are the ones in the watch towers with the telescopes and seismographs, and all the high tech equipment registering changes in the earths movements.. if these high tech sensors registered movements of an impending disaster..... perhaps that predicted tidal wave from la palma....or an impending caldera blast from yellowstone....or nuclear missles being fired from another country.... do you think they would really tell us?.
would they not simply shrug and say "there's nothing they can do about it anyway" and just keep quiet?.
would they not look ahead and say "if we evacuate them, it will be like katrina all over again and they will become a responsibility to an overburdened system that cannot provide" and simply keep quiet?.
Would they not simply shrug and say "there's nothing they can do about it anyway" and just keep quiet?
I doubt that they would keep it quiet; someone wouldn't be able to keep this under wraps and leak it to the media.
I guess the really question is, would people actually believe it and evacuate?

i went out this morning to pick up a few items for tonight's new years eve, and once it started snowing, i think everybody in town went out for last minute shopping.
it was getting very slippery, and traffic was everywhere.
i got home as soon as i could, and brother, i'm staying put!
Yikes. Guess I should stop complaining because it is 39 degrees outside right now.
Be safe this NYE.

while i was an active jw elder, i wouldn't have up until that last year.
that's when i was totally mentally out, just going thru the technicalities.
i still respect other jw's viewpoints on their not accepting blood----although i think they are terribly misguided.
Nope, I would have not have taken a blood tranfusion. I would have had the hospital liason there supporting me. What a sucker I was.
However,
Well, I would be hesitant to get someone else's blood. I guess that I am still conditioned to feel this way.
I still feel this way too. The conditioning is hard to get past. I don't even give blood despite the fact that my husband gives blood on a schedule and my father-in-law had a plaque with his name on it for giving so much blood to the blood bank.

We met at work. Yes, he was worldly - however, he is my perfect match.
