my mum managed to secure a reasonable paying job, it asked that she worked basically full time till the new year because the place has just opened but it would give her a pension (instead of trying to live off a small state pension) when she is older, and there are a few nice 'perks' including staff discounts.. well, despite her managing to get the job while many failed to secure a position, and managing to get through the different interviews and processes she will now drop the job, before she even does the training, yet alone starting it because the wife of an elder on the phone convinced her to take up her daughters 'ironing round' and also give herself more free time, for jehoover things - although she mentioned my mums health and asked if she had energy to do that.. anyway, while i was sat next to mum she said "yeh, i can't see this system lasting much longer" - a stupid gambol i think, its all based on chance.. i shouted at her after, i said why are you doing this?
you need to secure your future, because you don't know what might go wrong with this ironing round thingy and its going to mean travelling to peoples homes, you may lose customers and not gain them, and then i asked how long she's known about 'the witnesses' and we worked out, that since 1985 to now, she came from being disfellowshipped in 1996, meaning for at least 10 years she has been waiting for this end of the system...a long time eh?.

I hope to do a fact finding trip to the USVI to see if I can live there. To make this happen I have WRITEN goals with dates. This is how your thoughts are turned into physical exsistance. WRITE your goal of traveling abroad down. This way it will be a thought that will not disapear from exsistance. Use your writen goals to plan your future.
Just a thought.

a friend of mine who is df'd is seriously considering trying to get reinstated in order to have his family back in his life.
this is not an easy decision because he's fully aware that this isn't "the truth", but the pain of being excluded from normal family relations is really tearing him.
he has two choices: either move away from his family and try and start a new life, or bite the bullet, try and get reinstated and then do the fade.
If my family decided they could not speak to me any more. I would call it a done day. Physicly move so they would not have to go out of their way not to talk to me. If they needed me (paycheck) or any thing else the call or the comute long distance and by boat or plane. In other words color me gone!

Have you ever thought of moving out. To get a way from the watchful eye. Like move to parts afar. The UK has a great number of areas of the world under their flag. Then things like their job opertunities would bother you less.

this morning, i drove through yellowstone park, on my way to jackson hole.
just before noon, i saw a sign that said, west thumb geyser basin.
it looked interesting, so i wheeled in.. after seeing the geysers, i noticed a couple people sitting behind a desk with a display beside them.
I would like to see them persecuted, better yet TAXED to death.

i have a friend in my congregation.
he's completely indoctrinated, and genuinely believes everything the organisation teaches, but he's still a good person, and he stands up for things when he knows somethings wrong.
as you can imagine, this often causes problems, and there is an arrogant elder who he has had many run ins with in the past.
Keep us informed.
May Baccus bless your gathering with much wine.
Or it could BYOB then there would be more than one responsible party.

whats the worst thing youve done during a meeting?
years ago, when i was a bit more wicked/naughty/younger than i am now, i thought i would take some drugs just prior to the meeting to see if it would make things any more interesting.
it didnt, but at least i enjoyed the kingdom melodies tapping my foot to the beat and bopping my head!!
Years ago I moved from the LaJolla hall. After my move positive things happened in my life. My age was 21.One of the positive changes was my mode of transport.( JAG XKE V-12).
It was a sat afternoon.The kh sat near the top of Mt Soladad. The bros were all outside doing landscaping on the hall.
By chance I met up with an old neighbor kid near the bottom, who also had a powerful auto. So the race to the top was on. When we arrived at the intersection where the kh was I turned hard right. It was now spin city. The car, through all the rubber screeching, came to rest. As though it had been parked along the curb. All eyes looked on in amazment as they recieved a wave of my hand as the car pulled away. I dont think anyone recognized me though.

Parents were out of town so four of us teenagers showed up at a neighboring hall w/our own spirits which we consumed during the wt. At the end no one knew about the booz, but the elders talked to us about our roudy behavior, in the little room.
As a side note I was distilling my own spirits at 13.

today while unloading my groceries, i witnessed a random act of kindness... someone in a ford explorer was waiting for a car to leave a parking spot so they could pull in there, they had been waiting for several minutes when finally the car in that spot backed out and left.
before the person in the ford explorer could pull into the spot, a lady in a ford taurus pulled on into that parking space.
the person in the ford explorer who had been patiently waiting, just sat there, they didn't honk or flip the person off, then the lady in the ford taurus realized that the other vehicle had been waiting for that spot and backed out to find another spot, letting the guy who had been waiting have his spot.
IMO I believe the holy spirit works through people who provide assistance to those in need. Thus by helping those people in need the HS also blesses the person rendering the assistance.

this was a typical response to any kind of complaint or sharing of a personal situation with anyone in the congregation.
instead of offering up some kind of physical or emotional support, almost 100% of the time me and my family would get the old:.
"don't you know that there are brothers worse off than you in the world, whom are truly hurting?
When someone complains to me. They get the standard reply, # 47. It could be worse It could be me.
