I found this interesting. This was part of someone's profile on another site. I will change it a bit to fit the JW thinking. For the people speaking I will change it to a worldly person talking to a Missionary (Pioneer or anyone in the JW mindset):
Worldly Person:Is it true that if we do not know about God, we cannot sin and go to hell? (ie. die at the big A)
Missionary:Yes, that is what we believe.
Worldly Person: Then why did you tell us?

If anyone can find it for me I would be forever grateful. I think the cutoff date for this is either the 6th or the 10th. I need to know so I can get them out today if today is the cutoff.
holiday mail for heroes to deliver one million cards to service members and families.
red cross, pitney bowes to screen, sort, deliver cards before holidays.
national headquarters.
Thank you so much for that information!!! I have my husband right now signing his 25 cards. I had many questions regarding how these were to be sent, etc. There is a link in the original post that explains about how to go about doing this. On their website they say this:
Please follow these guidelines when mailing a card to ensure that your card will quickly reach service members, veterans and their families. Every card received will first be screened for hazardous materials by Pitney Bowes and then reviewed by Red Cross volunteers working in one of 16 sorting stations around the country.
You can also send Phone cards, Gift cards and Care packages.
Thank you again for this information. The troops need our support, and anything that gets hubby to do something (tongue in cheek) is a good thing. lol
a month ago i read that gas might hit $2.50 a gallon.
i laughed.
well super is now 2.49 in los angeles.
The last time I got gas it was $1.99/gal. Now the average is @2.19/gal. Through all of this we have been running under the national average but it seems like now we are going up when other towns are going down?

Jehovah's Witnesses Nabbed After Killing Spree in Russia
Two Jehovah’s Witnesses have been arrested in Russia as suspected serial killers who claim they went on a nine-month killing spree to “cleanse the world of sinners,” the Daily Mail newspaper reported on Thursday.
Vladimir Gurianov, 44, and Elvira Egorycheva, 46, are accused of killing 13 people while claming to be on a mission from God.
Egorycheva had a revolver, two axes, a rope and an electric-shock device when the pair was seen in a suburban supermarket and arrested after their pictures had been circulated throughout the region. Gurianov had a gun and a knife in his jacket, the newspaper reported.
The two met at a Jehovah’s Witness meeting 16 years ago and reunited late last year before embarking on their alleged murderous rampage. "God wants us to go to Nizhniy Novgorod and cleanse the world of sinners," Egorycheva said, according to the newspaper.
Among the victims were two fortune tellers, a woman selling Pekingese puppies they pair found in a newspaper advertisement.
"They were very odd. He called her "mother" or "Princess Elena". She called him "my son, Prince Mikhail,” a neighbor said, according to the Daily Mail. "Gurianov used to say they had a certain mission. No-one took them very seriously but then the killings began."
Two twisted Jehovah's Witnesses have been arrested as suspected serial killers, accused of murdering 13 people during a nine-month killing spree in Russia.
Claiming to be on a mission from God, Vladimir Gurianov, 44, and Elvira Egorycheva 46, hacked, shot and bludgeoned their victims in a case that left even hardened Russian detectives shocked.
The pair were finally spotted in a supermarket in a suburb of the city and arrested. By then they were on nationwide search lists and their photographs had been widely circulated in the region.
When they were searched Egorycheva had a revolver, two axes, an electric-shock device and a rope in her belongings.
Another gun and a knife were found in Gurianov's jacket.
Gurianov - who locals said had 'mad eyes' - and Egorycheva first met at a Jehovah's Witnesses sect meeting 16 years ago.
When they were reunited late last year, Egorycheva allegedly told him she had a vision and they must travel to the Volga region to carry out God's wishes.
She said: "God wants us to go to Nizhniy Novgorod and cleanse the world of sinners".
A neighbour said: "They were very odd. He called her "mother" or "Princess Elena". She called him "my son, Prince Mikhail".
"Gurianov used to say they had a certain mission. No-one took them very seriously but then the killings began."
The first victim was a fortune teller Ludmila Kostina, 51, with whom they made an appointment after seeing her advert in a local papers.
A day after the first murder they went to another fortune-teller, Nina Mashtakova, 66, who they killed before stealing valuables.
One victim was killed around January 10, when Gurianov answered an advert advertising Pekingese puppies.
A 17-year-old boy, returning home, found Gurianov killing his mother, who only managed to scream: "Run, boy!"
Gurianov later boasted to detectives about one particularly brutal slaying.
He said: "I shot at the head of this woman, but she was still alive. I shot her a second time and she fell down, but just as I was digging a grave for her I realised she was still alive and just watching me. So you'll understand I had to stab her."
Also in January this year, Gurianov, a convicted rapist, and Egorycheva met a 17 year-old girl by the garage complex in the city's outskirts.
Police believe the couple stopped the girl, and Egorycheva told her: "Stop, sinner! I, Princess Elena, and my son Prince Mikhail, have been sent by God to punish you!"
Gurianov then allegedly raped the girl, killed her with a hammer and buried her next to the garage complex.
He later told investigators: "Mother explained to me that every woman killed or raped by me would become my wives in the afterlife."
They are also suspected of killing 18 year-old student Masha Maslennikova, missing since May, whose body has not been found, as well as Ludmila Kotelnikova, 45, and Elena Lomteva, 37, whose corpses were found near their holiday homes.
One detective said: "Apparently, they didn't care who became their next victim, whether it was a woman, a young girl or a child. Their only criterion was to carry out the killing in remote parts of the city where no one could help the victims."
Later police asked the pair why they killed innocent people.
Gurianov, clearly enjoying recounting his deeds, replied: "God told us to go and take the money. He said: 'Go there and take as much as you need.' So we did".
One shocked detective said: "Our hearts are bleeding.
"They seem to enjoy talking about the things they have done. They feel safe as well. What is prison to them? Even if they are sentenced to life, they'll live until old age.If ever there was a case for capital punishment, this is it."
the nastiest food you've ever tried?
you know, the stuff that makes you go into convulsions.
for me, i would have to say cottage cheese.
I like most everything. From a young child I was always 'game' for foods others didn't like. I was raised with 4 siblings, 3 being male.....you get the drift. Males eat everything in sight and the girls are left with nothing so I made it a goal to find 'disgusting' things to eat where my brothers would walk away from.
The only thing I can think of that I hate is Cilantro. Cilantro hits the taste buds in the back of my tongue and just makes me need to spew. I don't know why. I have tried all the normal things along with the not so normal things. Cilantro gags me.
