Palmtree67 --- sorry/the Tivoli mentioned above post is located north of Boca Park. It's one cool outdoor mall like the Town Square on Las Vegas Blvd. South which is outdoor mall (very cool) w/restaurants, MAC (makeup) salon store that has items not available in dept. stores. One of the nice places to eat is the Brio Tuscan Grille (which is also located in the new Tivoli that I referred to as "Brisas" earlier.

Let me know what area you're in . . . i'm assuming it's Summerlin. The Redrock is good and voted No. 1 for locals --- good buffet. restaurants and movie theatres w/comfy seats (in first few rows in mid section as I recall). Locals like the Rampart/Summerlin. The Suncoast is good for locals --- movie theatres and hear the mexican restaurant there is pretty good. Right across the street from the Suncoast & north of the Cheesecake Factory, located inside Boca Park at Charleston/Ft. Apache) is the new outdoor mall called Tivoli -- shops and Brisas Restaurant (sp? -- i'll get exact spelling) which I like for lunch but not so much dinner compared to other places --- fun shops and eating places. At Boca Park you have Cheesecake Factory, Kona Grill, Jason's Deli which are good. A good steak restaurant is Flemings (affordable) in Summerlin. The hot pizza place is Grimaldis. Tapas are great at Fire Fly and Sammy's Pizza has them now but haven't tried. At the Fashion Show Mall --- Majjiano's Italian and California Pizza Kitchen/good.
George Straight is here in Feb (the 4th?). I've heard of websites that give discounted tickets to shows/food, etc., and may have jotted down and will let you know. Recall you're into football and not basketball. If UNLV's basketball program gets exciting again (if EVER) think you would enjoy the experience --- the Vegans really go crazy.
Just heard a place called Fausto's Mexican Food is very good (think it's low key/good prices but haven't tried). The Lindo Michoacan West is a fav mexican restaurant of locals and Viva Mercados (Spring Mtn. and Rainbow). Also like Frank and Fina's Cocina on W. Flamingo (shopping center). Dona Maria is an old-time fav Mexican Restaurant and sells tons of tamales at xmas time.
Hope this helps --- if you need manicurist (have great one from Canada/good prices, very good and has Elton John as a client and others. Have some good referrals for colorists, hairdressers, etc. --- ahhh, this is getting lengthy so I'll PM you w/more. If there's anything in particular (area/food preference) you think of holler.

i found this site hoping to read topics submitted by jw's so i could learn more, but it just seems to be everyone else here except them.
just about every topic and member is just bashing jw's and their teachings.
this site should be renamed "jwbashertrolls.net".
'The 1975 thing was just a rumor started by a congregant and not even sanctioned by the GB,' is a common phrase used by the witnesses these days. I've heard this line more than once by older witnesses who know better but can't face reality of their religion. Sad.

truthskr --- EXCUSE ME --- "Just because you people couldn't live by Bible standards" is evil and you are judging others and a BOZO NO NO FOR a Christian (OR someone professing to be part of a group following the Bible) to do. Many are following Christ (most likely millions in the world). You know yourself many members in the w/tower are far from living according to Bible principles regardless of their club status. witnesses are the anthesis of Christians or those living by Bible standards.

YES --- one of my FAVs. Have seen him live one time opening nite Hardrock/Vegas. Ooops it was the Eagles opening at Hard Rock but Dylan was opening nite Bellagio. Amazingly, he received 5 stars on his performance at MGM from one of the tough critics around here. Have heard some negatives re/his concerts (and from real fans of his) but can't say I've been to one of those.

i saw a few mindlessly working a neighborhood as i was driving the other day.
they looked so unhappy, just walking in baby steps, looking like zombies..
RUN RUN RUN! last people on the face of the earth i care to spend any time with especially the ones in sales (commissions) at stores. if they sneak up on me i kill them with kindness.
their rulers at watchtower would be shocked to know their followers' priority is their commission/paycheck and not them. have only had one shunning experience from a witness sales crook --- would love to tell store manager all about but what would Jesus do!

i know that sounds crazy and stupid, but has anyone else ever felt like they always have to be the strong one for others in their life, but you don't feel that strong?
like you have to be the sensible, dependable one, while the people around you have breakdowns?.
two of the most important people in my life had psychiatric emergencies on the same day.
serenity now: i hear ya. I've almost called 911 more than once on behalf of a psychopathic family member in the last week -- would love to get a psychiatric assessment. it's so hard to endure this and i feel for you. i keep telling myself that nerves don't break down so i hang onto my hair! it is truly amazing they can't help us when we're stuck in a blue funk but fortunately we have the incredible human beings on this board to buoy us and help.
keep care!

visiting a nearby town during his thursday night service talk mentioned how poor meeting attendance is in the english-speaking u.s. congregations.
he said that when the gb reduced the weekly meetings from 3 to 2, there was a brief surge in meeting attendance percentages.
after a few months it began to slide and it hasn't stopped sliding.
Maybe it's proof there is a God and the real truth is out --- they lose.
