Ok, enough kidding around we need to figure out where to meet. As many times as I have been in the South Coast Plaza area I just can't think of where to go. I really liked the Club House next to Bloomingdales but it is gone now and has been replaced by something else. I have no idea what its replacement is like as far as seating and what they offer.

Cyberjesus and I have met at the El Torito across from John Wayne Airport several times. If we can't think of anywhere els I suggest we meet there. It is only a few blocks from South Coast Plaza.

Maybe Brianna could suggest something around where she works. I was just in that area off of Sunflower a few weeks ago but wasn't looking of a place to go and have a few drinks but there has to be several good places right around there.

CJ mentioned the Hilton Suite in Orange. Where is that? Is that on State College by Katella? If so is it is close to where I live but may be out of the way for some but if it has a cool bar then it sounds good to me.

I'll look throught the OC Weekly and see what I can find in the SCP area. I can't believe I'm having trouble thinking of somewhere around there. At one time I could have named at least 20 places.

I really don't care where we meet. I'll just be happy to see some of you so wherever we wind up going will be fine with me.

'Where else is there to go'? Thoughts I had this morning--and evening...

by sd-7 in

i was just thinking of something this morning.

when presented with the possibility that the witnesses could be wrong, the typical response is 'where else is there to go?

' in short, 'if not us, who?

I quit!

My response to the where is there to go question is always... Anywhere but here. If you know there is something with where you are then move on. Why do you think you need a final destination before you get started? Just get going and enjoy the journey.

We all know that they stole the where are we to go line from the Bible where the disiples ask Jesus where are we to go, you have the saying that lead to eternal life (or something like that). Well you can't apply that line to the Watchtower because they don't have anything like that. What they have is dumb rules that have nothing to do with eternal life or even living an enjoyable life now. What they have over a 100 year history of continually messing things up.

While the world stood still with tears and sorrow....

on friday, november 22, 1963, i was in high school in the cafeteria in fort worth, texas sitting at a table filled with school chums.. my jehovah's witness buddy, johnny, was back from shaking john f. kennedy's hand in front of his hotel earlier that morning.. he and his family were (oddly) big fans of jfk.

go figure.... .

not less than ten minutes later the speakers in the cafeteria crackled to life and the principle, g.b.trimble announced that president kennedy.

I didn't appreciate it at the time but reading post like this makes me realize how lucky I was to have very liberal parents who weren't JWs. I brought Jehovah on myself but you guys (Terry and Band on the Run) had him and his crazy ways forced on you.

Just resurrecting an old saying from around the time some very wise men (gag wretch) believed that Christ returned in 1874 AwareBeing.

The best method I have found to keep elders or for that matter any Jehovah's Witness away from you is to start thinking.

The Hypocrisy continues!!!!!!!

a relative of mine who is disfellowshipped for having a baby out of wedlock and living with the babys daddy has a sister who is an active jehovahs witness.

she has had nothing to do with her newborn neice for 9 months and outta the blue textes who sister and asks her to meet at a. restaurant as they are in town and would like to see the baby.

the mom out of love gave in so her nephews could see their cousin whom they'll never know.

I quit!

I'd say go to Hell was an appropriate response. She was being dragged into their collective insanity. Why allow yourself to be manipulad into the role the Watchtower expects you to play as a DF'd person. Allowing a child to see their mother treated like that would be very confusing for them so why let it happen.

If she wants to be polite about it she could tell them they're all crazy and offer to get them help.

Has anyone ever worked for a Home Health Agency service Sales position? Home Health Care Account Executive?

i'm being offered this position that's 50k a year, which would be a termendious raise from my current nursing profession and i'm very interested, but also very timid and nervous.

i have a pretty solid job right now, which a schedule that works 7-3 day shift.

i pretty much am living pay check to paycheck worrying about makin grent etc.. because of all the financial obligations.

I quit!

You are doing the right thing asking around before you give up what you have. I'm wonder if you are guaranteed 50K or is it what they are telling you you could earn? Is it salary plus commission or are they paying you a draw against your commission? If it is straight commission I'd say forget it. What is their turn over rate? Another thing you can do that might give you a pretty good idea of just how good the pay is at that company is to look around their parking lot and see what kind of vehicles the employees (not the executives) drive. If possible speak with people who work there. Look around the web and see what you can find out about the company.

I also like the parachute book and have used it to get ideas on how to look for work when I have been unemployed.

Like AGuest I not expecting you to give answers here but think about these things.
