  greetings, word lovers:.

  in my job, i work with words and wrangle them into shape, well, in a manner of speaking.

  one word might be mistaken for another, a word with either a similar or identical sound.

  It's good to have you here, Syl, on a site where we cite sources that are a sight for sore eyes.

  Yes, Sylvia, regarding a well-constructed but frivolous play, the term coined by Shaw, in reproach of V. Sardou, French playwright.

  Good point, LUHE:

  I lost a friend named Ruth, hence I am ruth-less.

  THANKS!

  Edited to add: Yes, a contrived tale, but I don't know if all the sardoodledoms are necessarily of a frivolous nature. It's a spelling bee word on YouTube.

  Thanks, Sylvia, for the acknowledgement of the verse I sent you.

  The thread you obviously read it on turned up missing when I went searching for it earlier. Somehow, resurrected threads fall immediately back into the grave within a very short time of reposting on them. I had to do a search to find it.

  Much ado, much ado . . .

  Please, never feel unworthy.

  Later, Dear.

  For you, Dear snowbird:

  I FEEL THE SUN'S HEAT UPON MY SKIN, yet, too, the damp caress of a wafting fog only now come in from the sea.

  It matters not that eyes have long been dimmed to the marvels, the beauties of Nature, while I see her through memories recalled, vibrant in a rainbow of color . . .

  Hey, Syl!

  What about NebuchadRezzar?

  I seem to remember that spelling -- alternate rendering or another man?

  THANKS!

  JW's And Their Education Level

  by Yesu Kristo Bwana Wangu in

  i was thinking about this.... in my congregation, i was literally the only one with universitary education, out of a cong from around 110 people.... and we're very close to a very big university, which makes it even weirder.. on the other hand... sooo many here with their own business, mostly small cleaning businesses.

  cleaning windows, or cleaning somewhere else... painters.... all have jobs that do not require any education level, cos they never had a decent education.. how is the composition of the jw people/congs that you know about?.

  how many painters... cleaners... compared to people with jobs that require higher education?.

  greetings, my aging friends:.

  it's not really a funny subject, our getting old and our bodies falling apart.

  sure, as the saying goes, hard work won't kill you, but it can wear out your body.

  Thanks for all the wonderful and helpful comments.

  Pre-1975, when we labored for the Lord (not JW-speak, I realize), we had no concept of our ever experiencing the attendant aches and pains of old age. Sure, Grandma and Grandpa had their share, but we would be young forever . . .

  NOT!

  Thank you, Blondie.

  I recently viewed Silence, with Andrew Garfield and Liam Neeson.

  The story centers around the initially alleged and later confirmed apostasy of Jesuit priests. I was never so hit between the eyes about my own [former] faith. Father Rodrigues touted "the truth" of Christ's message to the Governor/Inquisitor, who calmly stated that the faith of the RCC could not grow in the "swamp" of Japan.

  I could honestly see the morality behind the priests' abandoning their misguided faith in order to save their goodhearted but delusional native converts. It was those Europeans immersed in the faith who developed the gravest doubts, seeing their resolute but simple-in-the-faith Japanese converts undergo martyrdom for beliefs they could never fully grasp.

  All the above in my newfound belief that God does not direct those who arrogantly proclaim his direction of them exclusively.
