i can not describe the sadness of hearing him tell me, i asked him to think about what a great part time job he has, with free schooling.
he says they will probably take him back.
his abilities are suitable for closing down brooklyn, so at least he will be there (i love nyc).
Oh oompa, im so sorry.
By way of consolation we all know lots of bethelites who have seen the light and left. Maybe being closer to the hypocricy may eventually open his eyes. Until then, hang in there. We all make cracking mistakes when we are young. What would we have to tell the grandchildren if we didnt??

what artistic achievements of this great actor stand out to you?
rip .
Sorry to sound awful, but good riddance to him. His activities with the NRA sickened me. He may have been an excellent actor but he was a pedantic gun toting old buffoon IMO.
May the sky fairy rest his gun lovin' old soul.
from my experience growing up in the jws there were two big recurring themes when it came to making money: .
1 - window washing or other janitorial work .
2 - cheezy "get rich quick" schemes and other cult-like sales practices .
My cousin is an elder and many years ago he got into a couple of the pyramid schemes. I was most offended when he invited me round and then made me sit down and watch a cheesy video trying to recruit us to the pyramid.
The worst type of pyramid scheme are those where there is really no product, but each person has to pay a large fee for the priviledge of joining the selling scheme. The product is just an excuse for the pyramid, and generates very little by way of sales. The real money is in commission from recuiting the next line of people. Each person is supposed to recruit 6 people and gets a commission on each person recruited underneath them, from the joining fee they have paid. I worked out that by line 12 the whole world would have to be recruited (or something silly like that).
I dodnt join, and I will always remember my cousins smug derision of my decision - "well, WHEN I get my first cheque for £10,000 I will show you". That was in 1989, and he still hasnt shown me. Stupid cretin.
I believe this type of scheme is illegal now due to is economy busting potential?
has anyone been to see a hypnotherapist to deal with issues or bad habits?
what did you go for and what was it like - and are you any better as a result?.
i have been reading up on hypnotherapy for weight loss and i am curious!.
HEY!! I got that tape too to play in bed and make me thin! Ive only been doing it 3 days and im not thin yet. DAMN.
But I did think the book was excellent and not all demon witch doctor stuff I thought it would be (old JW programming). I think hypnotism is the wrong word, to me it just seems to be re-programming your brain to work in a different way, by suggesting stuff to it. I know a woman who used it successfully to stop smoking.
about twelve months ago i came to the realisation that i am an alcoholic.. for the past year i have been having breaks from the drink of about a week at a time but as i cannot deal with stress well i always seem to turn to alcohol as an escape.. i have realised the last few weeks that i need help to stop drinking but do not want that stigma of attending aa meetings or getting counselling for my addiction.. yesterday i decided to phone the aa and so attended a meeting last night where i found to my surprise many people who were going through the same process as me but had decided not to carry on turning to drink.. i dont know if many in the us understand the culture of drinking and pubs in britain?
but it is an integral part of uk society, friday and saturday nights are all about going out and having a good time drinking as much as we can.
so for an alcoholic it can be a nightmare.. i just wanted to share this with and would like to continue to post in the future about it.. yours paul.
LMAO @ Oompa. Its not a laughing matter naughty boy!

I think you are really brave, and I hope it works out for you, im sure it will.
I went to Iceland on holiday last summer, and oddly the only thing I could get on my mobile phone radio in English was a weekend long conference of the AA - it was absolutely riveting, I couldnt stop listening to it. It was basically AA members giving motivational talks, but it wasnt cheesy or just war stories or showing off, it was really excellent advice and lots of information about following the 12 step programme.
I would definately reccomend the AA to anyone, including myself, if and when my drinking gets out of hand.
Tom Cruise has a big nose and short legs and I never liked any of his films even before he became a crazy religion guy (well OK, I did like An Officer And a Gentleman).
I cant stand his religious quackery. They are welcome to him.
Whats all that crap about BigWigs and important people. I thought jesus said he who wants to be first shall be last??
.. what advice would you give me?.
anyone who lives in australia - is there a need for secondary school mathematics teachers?
what general advice would you give about location / quality of life / anything else at all you think i should know.. anyone who has ever emigrated anywhere - any advice at all about anything to do with moving ?.
Brinjen, thank you, thats really good information. And thanks for the link. I filled in a form this morning on a website I THOUGHT was the Australian Immigration service, but turned out to be a private company with a name cunningly similar! Still, I got a free points assessment and will get a free discussion with an immigration type chap, but I guess it will lead up to them selling me a service I probably dont need yet. Silly me!!
a number of years ago, there was a large group of us that went to an unasigned territory.
many of us stayed at a small motel, motel 8, 6, 666 something like that, others camped out.
so, most of those that stayed at the motel were in the in group.
PAH!!!
No ones got the hots for me, ive just had a baby and im 2 stone overweight. My partner might have the hots for me but I just cant let him near me because I feel so unattractive.
