i bet more than one person here got a shiny new mp3 player for x-mas?
i'd like to share some info about the downsides of the major brands and what you can do to overcome them.
zune a drm filled pos.
Unfortunately, Allofmp3 is not a legal site. IIRC, they are a Russian based site that was selling music without paying rights to the record companies. So they were selling stolen music. It would be as if I took my music collection and charged people to download it.
A way around the iTunes DRM limits is to download the song, burn it to an audio CD an add it to your computer from the CD. Then you can do with it as you please.
like a card, even if the card says happy holidays and doesnt mention christmas at all?
The candy cane would probably be ok AFTER Christmas! The magic goes out of all Christmas related items for jw's after the 25th.
Same with all of those pagan holidays. Oh how we would stock up on discount cadbury eggs and peeps after easter. Or, candy corn after Halloween.
the thread about refusing to act disfellowshipped at the hall got me to thinking about another scenerio:.
what if the elders contacted an inactive jw to try to set up a judicial committee meeting, in essence to disfellowship the inactive one based on rumors, innuendo and circumstantial evidence and the jw refused to go along with the inquisition?
i've heard of people being dfd in absentia but technically that isn't supposed to happen.
It worked for me. If you are familiar with my soap opera: after nine years of no problems, the elders tried to start crap and told my mom she would be disfellowshipped if she continued to talk with me. I was also informed that they wanted to talk to me to disfellowship me. So I wrote a letter to my mom to try to clear things up. I concluded the letter with some language that basically threatened individual action against the elders. (I found it here on this site.) My mom called me after her Sunday meeting to say I will not be disfellowshipped. She also said she could continue to talk to me and she was going to send a written response back to my letter but neither has happened yet. It's only been a week. We'll see what happens.
yesterday pm while on gabbly two jw's came into my shop (former customers) with an overheating problem.. they saw my other copy of coc.
i asked what can we do for you?
they both were staring at the book, i noticed the car was spewing steam and coolant.
You should have told them there's a surcharge just for dealing with them.
i wanted a white christmas this year.
here in the front range of colorado, snow is not unusual but not guaranteed this time of year.
we are lucky to get a few inches.
Aw. The picture didn't show up. But, I heard y'all got hammered with snow out there.
along with the economy topic this morning, i thought this was very ineresting,.
illeagan alians were arrested (about 1,400) from a meet packing company (several states).
americans are lining up for the jobs.
The scary part is many of those SS numbers are stolen. Could it be yours?
they have turned to the world (aka darkside ) and will end up becoming terrible horrible people !?????
well that is what one jw told a fellow workmate of my husbands .
a couple of days ago my hubby and i were looking at toys in the store when a jw( former friend of ours) stopped to chat with us .we said nothing about the gifts being for xmas (unless she over heard our personal conversation ).
I don't remember Thou Shall Not Be Generous as one of the ten commandments.
i'm very much a home-body, so i don't go out much and meet a lot of people.
in recent months i've been trying to reverse that and meet more people.. so far the pattern is this:.
meet someone.start chatting and talking.notice a distinct chemistry.attempt to move things to the next level.now this is where things get frustrating.
I'm tired of hearing the other "F" word.. HAHAHA!! In my community it is easier to find the 4-letter word than friends or anything else. Sad state of affairs.
my eight year old daughter has wanted to run with me for a long time.
i had us signed up for a girls only run last winter but we woke to snow so i blew it off.
this year i was determined to find a winter run for us.
Congrats!! That's so awesome. And it's cool that you're encouraging you're kids to take up hobbies that promote health and exercise.
in the vain hope that maybe...just maybe things would be better...or at least somewhat improved...i was wrong.
i was told about the al gore dvd that talks about how bad the world is and when i tried to say i didnt want to think about how bad the world is and rather think of ways to improve it they showed me a book about "how to deal with emotions" or something like that...i kind of tuned out right about then.
i talked about my job and my dad said, "see!
Sounds tough. It always sucks when you don't get any commendation for your accomplishments and success. However, you have to remember that you're doing all of this for you and not to please or impress them. You're the one who benefits from your own success. Good luck with everything!
