The Congo I grew up in was fairly wealthy, (we were not). This didn't help things, but the big problem really, was my mother was married to a UBM. That was the consistent deal breaker.

do you feel there was a "gap" between those who had more materially and those families or individuals who had less?.
example: did those who had "less" materially not get invited to private homes for get togethers as frequently or not at all?.
thanks for your input.. juni .

i was converted in the early 1980's.. warlock .
I am sort of "In-Between". My mother began to study when I was about 5, and my father was always a UBM. It took her about 8 years of "studying" before she was baptized. I did very little with the org, outside of the occasional meeting, and no holiday stuff. It was not enforced on my sister and me. My father would not allow that. Having a "dumb moment", when I was about 14, I decided to go "all the way", (definately smoking too much pot at the time), and started progressing toward baptism. It would be another 18 years before I figured it out.

A stopped clock is, after all, right twice a day.

let it be this board or any other board, are you comfortable with the fact that whatever you post on the internet will be viewable for a long time.. maybe when you'll be very old, you'll find posts that you made a very long time ago..
Well, I've made a bigger ass of myself in more critical places, so I can live with what I may have posted here once or twice may have been a bit on the stupid side.

nvrgnvk,
I recently worked implmenting a call center in Pottsville, (home of Yuengling). Not much of a town, but the brewery tour is definately worth doing.
I live about two hours from there, outside of Philly.

Also, when in the Southwest, I would also say Fat Tire is pretty damn good.

i apologise for taking the liberty of using my alias to attract attention but a number of people have contacted me to ask what they could do to help by way of being a stem cell donor (without a stem cell donation soon i will likely die).
i cannot express enough just how appreciative i am for such wonderful thoughtful gestures.
it is possible that your stem cells are a perfect match for me and that you could literally save my life.. however, if you are not a match you could very well save someone else's life - so do please consider being a stem cell donor.
Ian,
I will look into these locally. I doubt anything I do here would actually make it to the UK, but it is indeed a good thing to do regardless.

I believe we had one of these threads not too long ago, but it's always a positive subject, so here goes:
1. Yeungling Lager, (Pennsylvania)
2. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
3. Guiness
4. Hacker Schorr Dark Weiss (Germany)
