Ahh...back to the topic at hand....
There was never laughter at any meeting! It was always filled with silence since no one wanted to be there!
i only have one that comes to mind.
a sister was visiting our hall from another congregation and was sitting in the back of the hall.
she raised her hand to answer a question, but only had one finger in the air.

from watchtower jan 15 2006.
" another fine example for our youths is that of 4 year old "jessica", who wrote to the society to express appreciation for the faithful slaves' counsel regarding what to do if one is tempted to read any of the "poison" of apostate literature; "i am writing to you dear brothers to express my sincere, heartfelt appreciation to those of you entrusted with the administration of carrying out our master jesus' spiritual directive to supply us with our 'food at the proper time'.
as a young one, it is sometimes difficult to resist the great deceiver: satans' crafty acts.
That's funny!
oh lordy, at yesterday's botchtower study, paragraph 17 (i think) asked what we personally found "encouraging" about the 2004 stats that are listed by country in the wt.
anyway, someone finally put up their hand and remarked about how wonderful it was to see that ethiopia had a 5% increase......ya, i guess if you're starving to death, who wouldn't want to hear that paradise is right around the corner.
one bro put up his hand and actually mentioned the fact that there was 0% increase in virtually all the industrialized nations, but that we "shouldn't let that discourage us".
Actually, someone did make the comment that perhaps the reason only the third world countries are experiencing growth is because "they are simple people" and they "don't question things as much as those that live where knowledge is abundant".I'm cracking up!! Lol!! So true.
Did the elder respond to that comment?

and you know how i know...... not because my dad called me or anthing like that..... thanks to years of working in law enforcement/public safety i'm pretty nosey and have a "scanner" in my house that monitors police, fire and ambulance calls.. just heard the ambulance go to my parents house because my mother wasn't breathing properly..... she has renal failure and must go to kidney dialysis 3 times a week.
sometimes for no reason her body simply stops processing fluids and she "fills up" and basically begins to drown from the inside.. i can only assume that this is the case tonight....of course nowdays hospitals wont tell you anything without the patients permission...... keep her in your thoughts....she may shun me but i can't help but worry about her.....
Sorry she's not doing well right now. It's a good thing you have that scanner.
just got off the phone with my brother who lives in socal (nondub) and was informed that my dad just had a stroke!.
he's my "dad", not the sperm donor that helped concieve me and my brother than abandoned us so he could "find himself".
he's 74, very intelligent old school retired ex marine, that served in the korean war.
(((u/d))) I hope he recovers soon.

hey peoples.
i just signed up for school to get a massage certification/degree.
i'm scared at how expensive it is.
Enjoy! I went to massage school last year but had to leave in the middle of it due to family schedule. I loved it, though.
wouldn't it be cool if we came up with a bunch of cool, witty screen names here, and then a bunch of lurkers who had been waiting to sign up decided to take the plunge and use one of our raanames?
