LMAO, tetrapod!
Um...if I was trying to infiltrate the U.S., I think I'd pick a more mainstream religion as my cover.

song 70.
10 min: local announcements.. 15 min: are you benefitting from a family schedule?
How many weeks have they been discussing this family schedule stuff? Are there people who actually are able to do this? It was all I could do to have a family study with my kids once a week and try to make a couple of meetings.
Wasanelder, Hehehehehe...very nice.
Blondie and GBL...very clever. I was either too dumb or too unlucky (got partnered with somebody all gung ho) to skip out. Only did street/busniesses a couple of times...much worse than regular d2d in my mind.
a few months ago we had a local needs part about supporting the cbs field service on saturday.
it was given by a nice older elder, but what he said was pretty scary.
he used all the phrases and logic that are usually used for meeting attendance.
I detested Saturday service. It was a big honking waste of time for the most part. If I was still in, I'd be very disturbed that I was being told that I had to do this.
On another note...15min? LMAO!!
Oh, and welcome to the board ?me?....sorry I was laughing too hard about the 15 minutes of field service.
i have worked beside a great guy for so long.
this week his wife went into labor with their first child (they lost two others btw) so he left work to be with her (????
he got smashed to death by a truck on the way to the hospital.
Oh wow...that's so sad, Hamsterbait. I guess some JW's have so divorced themselves from the rest of humanity that chowing down on potatos and talking about the latest ho-hum talk or boring doin's of the brothers and sisters is the only reality that touches them. Apparently showing a modicum of polite behavior or even *gasp* a bit of compassion is beyond their abilities.
I'm so sorry about the death of your friend and feel terrible for his wife and new baby.
you know who mr. pressure is don't you?.
he is the little man who comes and sits on your shoulder during the day.. and, when it all goes real bad.................................. he grabs your ear.
and leans in.
I had a crap day too, xjwms. At least I got off at 3:30. I didn't buy any booze, though. Maybe I have some oreos kicking around.
Hope your evening is relaxing!
according to a friend of mine she saw on some christian channel (she's born again)... anyway there was this supposed jewish math wizard scholar (i'm thinking kahbahla?
) he claims that there are names like george bush dates disasters etc.
all the code is broken down by the number 49+1=50 (right then i'm holding in my laughter and thinking what would the amazing randi say?
LOL, Hellrider and lawrence! Nice math.
yes, it's true!
meet the new love of my life, balmpot.
she fits in the palm of my hand right now, she is already mistress of the house, and i her devoted slave.
That's okay. I can imagine that she's very cute. Congrats on your new kitty baby.

I'll bet she's adorable, but I can't see the picture, talesin.
are there any brits [english, irish, welsh, or scotts = the lions ] on the site partial to the game of rugby?
for those with no idea what rugby is - it's a little like american football, without the stops, without the protective gear, played in winter, in the rain, hail and sleet [well last saturday anyway].
15 players to a side on the field at a time [unless someone is yellow cards or red carded].
Something else [A white trench coat?].
I don't get extended cable any more with all of the extra sports channels, so I can't watch this any more. "Australian-Rules Football" keeps popping into my head. Obviously, though (from your answer), it isn't rugby. LOL sorry.
has anyone else seen the movie saved!?
i watched it last night with mr c and although many aspects were extremely funny, some were so cringeworthy too!.
there's one scene where the head of the "christian jewels" gang tells all her to laugh and look like they were having a good time to try and convert the bad kids to jesus by showing how being a christian is such good fun!
In my first congregation, every so often large groups of "sisters" would get together for lunches or dinners in public restaurants. I often thought that the rowdiness of these events was, in good part, due to wanting to show the world how dang HAPPY we all were...despite not celebrating anything with our worldly friends and families and living under the enormously heavy yoke of the FDS. Of course, we told ourselves that even though we were being crushed to the ground with it's weight, it wasn't really heavy at all. Let's all throw back our heads and laugh loudly now....lift that chin and straighten that back. We're Jehoobie's Jolly Jokesters!
