  What Are Things That TRULY Irritate You???

  i can't stand unappreciative people.

  when you do something thoughtful for a person and they either seldom acknowledge it or half heartedly say, "thanks".

  Golden Girl said: (He is two years old). The first day he pooped 2 times on the carpeting. Last night he threw up twice . The worst part is by the time I got the materials to clean it up he ate it!..GAG GAG... I kept thinking about it all night and gagging. I still gag thinking about it! It's not like I am cruel or anything..I take him out(for a long time) but he holds it till the minute he gets in the house and lets it go!..With me saying really really bad words to him! Then he decides it's fun to chew on furniture...so I give him a bone. That actually worked..till he decided to chew on the sheet hanging to the floor.Then he chewed on the weights in the corner..then the air conditioner vent on the floor.. He is just so stupid! I will be so glad to go home tonight and sleep in peace. Then the cat decides he is lonely with the teen girl(my grand daughter) he is used to sleeping with gone and howls every half hour..(Scream). So I guess I have had about two hours sleep tops. My daughter just called and they are in Kansas on their way home (Missouri)with their new Hummer limo. I told her to "Click her heels" to get home faster.............She laughed..I was serious! Snoozy, the dog watcher.........

  Just to funny...I am in tears laughing....I been there,,, hahahaha

  Ran out of Walkill, So we picketed Patterson

  well when thursday morning arrived and we were told the news that the brooklyn picketing had been cancelled, we were upset and disappointed, but we decided to go on with a plan "b".

  amanda,evelyn,sybil,and i decided to ride up to walkill ny and visit the watchtower farms and also patterson.

  we drove up to walkill first and i must say that the size of this complex was enormous, and reminded me so much of a prison complex, they even had their own water tower.

  i have a bread machine and have been experimenting with it this week.

  my first breads were really dense and heavy.

  they were ok but definitely not great.. so i went to the books and they said the liquids need to be lukewarm not cold from the fridge.. so after yet another white bread heavy i just tried a raisin bread recipe.. ok i'm addicted.

  House-to-house confusion

  by robhic in

  i know i've seen both sides of the house-to-house argument.

  of course, jws say it is approved in the bible while non-jws say it is the opposite.

  but on reading in another topic i happened upon a quote implying paul wrote in favor of house-to-house preaching so i looked it up in the american standard version bible.. the ones i usually see that speak against going house-to-house are the following:.

  sir82 said: In a somewhat related topic--has anyone noticed the often hilarious lengths the WT artists go to, to try to put across the idea of 1st century Christians going "from house to house"? I remember illustrations of 2 disciples standing in a doorway conversing with a woman, apparently after knocking on her door. In a recent WT, there was a picture of Paul talking to someone in the street ("street witnessing", natch) and showing her a portion of a scroll he had been carrying under his arm.

  I remember that picture of Paul and the scroll.......I said to myself.....This is to unreal!! rediculous!

  you all have been so helpful in the past with these things...and i have another "how to deal" question.... ok, we have been faded for a while now.

  we have pumkins out for halloween, as well as fun decorations...the problem is..we got an anniversary card today in the mail from some old witness friends where we used to live...they wish they could visit...they are prone to drop by un announced...so..have any of you had any sucess of "warning" old witness friends that you have changed?.

  we are still trying not to get disfellowshiped for family reasons.

  Goldminer, It is not the pumpkin that is the objection, it is the Jack O'Lantern. Did you know the first Jack O'Lantern was a turnip? Actually I think the Jack O'Lanterns are cute. Here is some trivia about the celebration of Halloween.

  Why does everything living become old and die? Why can't these chemicals we are made of stay young and live forever? We all return to dust because from dust we were made.

  JW's are they really a cult?

  many people would say they are a cult, what are your reasons for thinking they are a cult?.

  a created a thread a while ago on an idea of what a cult is http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/96309/1.ashx.

  do you think it is the jehovah's witnesses as a whole a cult?

  Yep! Gill, the brothers and sisters in the KHs do all the work and pay all the expense of helping out in times of trouble and need, and the WTS gets all the credit. Makes my stomach turn. I look at the WTS and GB as the Pharisees whom Jesus was so angry with in the temple courtyard.
