we're already being innundated with the drivel that is the us political process.. propaganda, right and left.
no one wants to discuss or debate, they just want to shout in each others faces.. so, here's the rules:.
you can discuss politics as long as you are discussing things.if you just post copy-and-paste propaganda it will be deleted.if you post it in anywhere but the politics area it will be deleted.if it's the inane "obama can't prove he was born" or "romney is an alien" crap then it will be deleted.if you repeatedly violate the above, including trying to get threads shut-down, then you will be deleted.this has been a public service announcement on behalf of the "i dont' give a shit, the government always gets elected" party.. .
Everyone should already know by life experience that no matter who gets elected from whatever party they are associated with......that we the public always get screwed. So why argue one candidate over the other? You are just another grain of sand in their grand scheme to promote their agenda.

in he's nephews book i could not believe some of the things he mentions.
when his father died fred franz told his mother he could not go to the funeral because he was just too busy at bethel.
she spoke to rutherford who ordered him to go.
I can't believe I bought into this bullshit in the 1970's. I'm so glad I'm over it all and out and living a life at 65.

heard a new rumor that:.
the borg is going to phase out big district assemblies - so they can fit 'em in assembly halls.. they will reduce the size of circuits.
they will synchronize c.o.
All of this says that the $$$$$ isn't coming in like it used to. Awwwwwwww .......... too bad!

my mom asked me if she could use the hotel pool at my job for some people at her congregation (these three girls are her congo got baptized and they wanted to have a pool party for them).
i asked our general manager if it was okay, and of course it was, but i had to get a room in order to reserve the pool area for the j-dub guest.
one of the little 2 year old (she was sooooo cute look at me momma i baptized .
Freeloaders is what I remember most of them to be. If they could get by on someone's nickel then it was ok as long as it was free for them
And then they acted like animals.

i mentioned a few times,that in terms of making my time for the past few months have been really difficult.simply because i cant teach something i don't fully believe...so my service has gone down,i used to comment a lot--haven't done that in a while----meeting attendance like normal but now i don't stay back after...or come early...or help with cleaning..... .
so some weeks ago the cobo asked me a completely irrelevant and in no way helpful question---"you did't think that i notice how upset you look these days----that's not a fruitage of god's spirit!".
yeah so today he saw me and asked me a series of question....all which i gave really short answers to...long story short--he says that he would like for me to meet wih the rest of the elders after memorial........ .
Tell him that your personal life an problems are "YOUR" personal life and problems and that you don't want to tell any body of elders or anyone else what your problems are. It's none of their damn business. Just say that they will be worked out in time and in the mean time.......give me some space.
They are not trained or educated to help anyone with any type of problem.

serena williams wants a man of her faith start node-story.tpl.php serena: 'i think it's important when you marry to be evenly yoked'posted wed, 2012-03-28 17:32 by tracy scottlike most women, serena williams wants a man wholl adore her, respect her and be faithful, but she also has another requirement for any future love interest.
he must be a jehovahs witness.. i think its important when you marry to be evenly yoked, said serena, who is currently working toward becoming a member of that faith.. ive been studying to be a jehovahs witness, so i go to kingdom hall, she told s2s publisher jamie foster brown.
She might be a winner on the tennis court but she is a loser in so many other ways. She probably doesn't even know the latest beliefs of the WT society.
A mega millionaire wanting Utopia! It ain't gonna happen unless he is a window washer or janitor and will jump when she says jump. (not bashing self employed people. Some of them make more than ones with degrees.) But......I doubt if she even understands the JW belief in headship".

in the late 70's, my father gave me an 8-track recording of flatt & scruggs' carnegie hall concert from 1962. i became an instant fan.
earl passed away yesterday, but his music will live forever.
he was among the greatest banjo players the world has known.
He was one of the best if not the best! Enjoyed his "pickin" for over 40 years. All the others are just copies of Earl.

i have a question for my canadian friends here.
i go there often, and i see a tim hortons on pretty much every street, like mcdonalds is down here.
i've gone in to see what the fuss was all about, and all i saw were donuts and pastries i can find in every grocery store or gas station back home.
One of the managers where I am working brought in a can of Tim Horton's coffee and it is definitely great stuff! What I don't get is......TH is from Canada but this particular can of coffee has an Ohio packaging address on it.
Can anyone explain?

i know some who truly believed they were "gifts in men".
they needed their approval and wanted to be well spoken of by them.. i know some who can't stand elders and regard them as pests, always looking for some dirt on somebody.. i know some who liked maybe one or two but regarded the majority as unqualified.. how did you view the elders??
?.
Before I became an elder, I believed they actually had Jehovah's spirit (holy spirit). When I finally told them to shove it 5 years later I knew that they were a bunch of coniving, self serving bastards with no conscience or concern to the actual problems of individuals. They had their own agenda.

gosh i wish i was better at having religious discussions with jws.
this evening, as i am at home trying to relax, i get a phone call from the local jws who are evidently sitting in their kh dialing out.. i got this man who starts off by asking me if he can ask me a question.
"okaaaaay..." i say slowly.... "do you think..." he starts... and then stops... obviously losing his place in his pre-prepared sermon....
This is why I love caller ID. I don't answer if I don't want to talk and if it shows just a phone number without a name, I don't answer that either. I also have my voice mail deactivated so no one can leave a message. In the past 10 years I only got about 5 or 6 calls from JW's.
My cell phone is another thing. The only names that show up are those I have programed into it. If I get a call from a number I don't recognize, I don't answer.
