  I love Walmart. My only thing is that whenever I go there for one thing, I always end up with a basketful of stuff.

  And now we have the cute little Grocery store only Wal-marts...I think they're called like Marketplace or something. But I've seen quite a few stores close down because of Wal-Mart too. Albertson's here tried the name change thing and cheaper prices, but they're still holding in there. Winn Dixie on the other hand....they're closing quite a few here in La. I wonder if that's due to Wal-Mart. I'm willing to bet it does.

  Robot You are 57% Rational, 0% Extroverted, 28% Brutal, and 14% Arrogant.

  You are the Robot! You are characterized by your rationality. In fact, this is really ALL you are characterized by. Like a cold, heartless machine, you are so logical and unemotional that you scarcely seem human. For instance, you are very humble and don't bother thinking of your own interests, you are very gentle and lack emotion, and you are also very introverted and introspective. You may have noticed that these traits are just as applicable to your laptop as they are to a human being. In short, your personality defect is that you don't really HAVE a personality. You are one of those annoying, super-logical people that never gets upset or flustered. Unless, of course, you short circuit

  Do you ever weigh yourself before and after you use the toilet?

  it can be very entertaining to see how much you, well, "lost".

  (it also helps if you have a digital scale that can measure fractions of a pound)

  My day at the assembly, er, convention

  by Pistoff in

  well, i could not avoid going today; a close friend got dunked and i had to go.. i was not even in my seat when i was already writing down egregious mind control bs: the first of the day and here it is:.

  (verbatim) "obedience in the congregation to the elders is the same as obedience to jehovah personally".

  my day got started with that puker.. ok, sit down and take more notes; not enough caffeine to take it straight.

  And finally, the talk about obedience to the elders. The statement is again made outright, "the elders are appointed by Jehovah" even though when we really look we find the caveat that they are appointed by Jehovah "in that Jehovah and the holy spirit lay out the requirements for elders, and so they are appointed by HS."

  I've always wondered about this...If the elders are chosen by HS and Jehovah already knows what we're gonna do waaaaaayyyyy before we do it...then why would the HS choose an elder that years down the line is gonna be df'd, da'd, or other un-elderly things that other elders don't find out about until it too late. So did the HS not see it or something....or is it a bunch of crapola?

  Any "Miraculous" experience happen to you like the ones said at Conventions

  by soundbox_guy in

  i had to sit through those experiences at the convention, i was wondering, did any of you used to be one of those people on stage giving an experience about how something miraculously happened like getting the exact amount of money you needed to pay your rent on the day it was due?

  i always hear the stories, but can anybody actually tell me something like this has happened to them when they were a good little witness?

  and if it has, did these sort of "events" stop taking place after you left?

  Well I was looking for the exact scripture I found one day while very upset from what an very uppity elder told me, but I couldnt find it.

  The situation was that we were discussing how God was continually blessing me and I WASN'T a dub. So why was this happening since they feel that anyone that is not a dub isn't in good standings with God. Well his answer was and I will quote, " God makes it rain on good and evil." Point was taken but it only made me see how truly ignorant he was when I later found a scripture (in the NWT may i add)saying how God only blesses those of which he approves. So for all of the ones that receives blessings/miracles everyday and is not a dub, you must have some approval from God to receive it.

  I wish i could go back and show him that...but then I'd really get the label apostate and thats the only reason I haven't laid on any dubs that try to talk to me how I really feel. Cuz so many in my family are dubs but mostly my mom and dad, because they still talk to me..and if I was to get that label it might change...

  But personally I know God has blessed me and I know it could only come from him. So I'm happy.
