Glad I could help I know how frustrating it is to find a certain kind of flour in the supermarket! When we were visiting my inlaws, my mother in law wanted to make some bread that required Graham flour! We searched the supermarkets high and low and couldn't find it yummmmmy apple pie! I love it. I made a chocolate pie a few weeks ago...only lasted one night.

I miss the snow! I'm originally from central NY but I've been living in North Carolina for about 10 years. I'm a northern girl at heart and I'm homesick!! The bluebirds are starting to nest in my backyard birdhouses tho...so that's pretty cool!

Sunspot:

I can't find or can't figure out where to find Rye flour for making home-made Rye bread. Nobody sells it or can't tell me where to order it OR find it.

I just did a quick google search and you can in fact buy 'organic rye flour' by hodgson mills for $2.65 cents a 1.9 lb bag at amazon.com (it's in stock even!)

And DH: No more watching 'HEROES' for you!

"need greaters" ugh!!

i hate that phrase and i always have.

we knew a jw couple who applied every year to bethel and giliad until the age cut-off (age 35 or 40?).

LOL Beardo! You just beat me to it :) That's the one I was going to say too! Worldings...Oh brother.

We had one brother that while giving a talk would always say before reading a scripture "Please meet me in (insert chapter and verse)" Like we were going on a trip

Then there were the brothers who during their voting for god knows what? would say I second that EMOTION! I kid you not, they really said it.

2000 years or so of end time predictions.. watchtower is not unique

by candidlynuts in

found this old article on a website.

thought this list was impressive.. how many times can humanity cry wolf?.

about 30 ce: the christian scriptures (new testament), when interpreted literally, appear to record many predictions by jeshua of nazareth (jesus christ) that gods kingdom would arrive within a very short period, or was actually in the process of arriving.

Thanks for posting this :) Very interesting! I'm always telling folks that the witnesses will eventually get their apocalypse! Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

One of the most irritating things you can say to a Witness?

by free2beme in

jw
friends

my relatives that are still witnesses, always hate it when i say one thing to them, more then any others ... .

"are you going to church tonight?

"were you at church?".

betweenworlds

My grandfather was so funny! He hated the whole witness thing, and he would take any opportunity to poke fun at it. He used to call the Kingdom hall, the kingdom come, and he called armaggedon, arbageddy When I was a witness I remember it used to annoy the heck out of me when people would call us "Jehovah witnesses" instead of Jehovah's witnesses.
