those who play the game for the sake of family love and all it means in real life are unsung heroes.
people who sacrifice for what is important to them and those that love them are an example of the quality people whose hearts and minds the wt corporation can only bully but never own.. my respects.. g. .

not that i'm thinking about it, even for a brief nano-second, but something i have thought about is this, is there any way you could go back and not have people look at you with the stink eye?
after admitting your true feelings, how in the world could people ever look at you the same?
if you were in the situation of welcoming someone back, would you be able to look past the errors?
Absolutely.
Of course it would require a Biblical scale miracle, say like stopping the sun in place for 24 hours. Then a special announcement covered by the world wide press wherein Jehovah God Almighty would specifically identify the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society of Brooklyn, NY, Inc. and the Watch Tower Society of PA, Inc etc.... in a deep voice similar to Charlton Hestons in the Ten Commandments. "THIS IS THE TRUTH. DO AS THEY SAY OR YOUR ASS IS MINE"
did you enjoy it?.
do you recommend it from a purely culinary perspective?.
om.
I have tried blood sausage. While I really like some strong organ flavors, like liver, I didn't like the strong iron flavor of the blood.
PS To be truthful, there is a "ick" factor, for me also. Plus, I don't want to lose my chance at everlasting life.

i heard through the grapevine that there's a hoopla going on within the local congregation and bethel.
the local congregation decided to take contributions for the non-jw community.
correct. From what I have read so far this entire affair is unconfirmed and no details as to exactly what, if anything, was occuring. Doesn't sound like it involved material aid like canned food or clothing. The WTS would only be interested if it was cash money.
This highlights another inconsistency of the WT org. that used to niggle at me when I was a witness. Namely, how convieniently they ignore the point of the parable of the good Samaritan. He was "good" because he gave real, practical assistance, including $ to a distressed man of a different faith.

LOL. "Here, take my money! Just don't peck my eyes out!"

Tricky. If the 'congregation" (elders? platform announcements?) decided to organize this then I can understand the WTS stepping in.
If it was done informally, like in KH parking lot conversations or home gatherings, it still is going get attention from them, and they will not approve.
Blondie's question is a good one. But still problematic if they are donating in the name of the local JW Congregation.
I also would like to know the particulars if this is not just a rumor.
why didn't i do this long before.

Once you've had a wireless mouse you'll never go back. We've had them on our laptops for a year or so. Neither of us like the finger board or the ball method.

could someone please explain this to me and finaly answer this nagging question?.
Gregor's blog for today, 12-12-10
Watched most of the early NFL game (Steelers vs Bengals) while preparing oxtail soup. A rip roaring rain storm (warm, 'pineapple express') outside. The birds were flocking the feeders like crazy. Naturally, they prefer the expensive thistle seed over the black oil sunflower seeds. Made up a batch of suet for them. Early afternoon my wife took over the kitchen to make banana bread.
While my soup was simmering I put on my rain gear and walked down to Thunder Island (Cascade Locks, OR) with a half loaf of stale bread. Fed geese and seagulls while watching the river roaring by. No river traffic today, Sunday. Beautiful, wild weather. Had an epiphany, but fortunately, I was wearing an old pair of pants. Got back, read a little of my new book and took a nap with the dogs.
My oxtail soup was so good it would make your brains fall out. Dessert was banana bread with a dollop of plain yogurt.
Oh, yeah, my point is....

I was kind of waiting for an answer also. The blogs of people who have invited me to read them would lead me to think they are like a personal diary or maybe a "soap box" from which to declare personal info, opinions, etc. ?
