as a born in, one of my earliest thoughts has always been jehovah has an angel that writes down everything in a big book, all the good things that happen to me/others and everything bad that happens to me/others.
i faithfully and honestly believed that.. in march of this year i read c of c. by 5 am the next morning i was out.
24 hours before, a true, steadfast believer.
Lois,
I just read your thread! Whoa...oh my what you have been through. I love the fact you recognized TTATT so quickly from reading C of C. My leaving was about that quick as well. Done and out in a matter of minutes.
I received your PM and responded. I do know the brother of whom you speak. Maybe designs does too...I'll have to ask him.
Take good care. And welcome to the board. I'm not quite around as much as I used to, be but I will search for your comments.
we got a new dog and he needs a name!
he was abandoned by his family in their back yard when they moved and then was rescued by animal rescue.
he's been fostered for the last 4 months and his foster mom called him martin.
Very cute. Looks like a good companion for Hugo. Congrats!
as has already been mentioned, the december 15th watchtower (study edition) is now online and available for download on this link.. i couldn't help but smile at the concluding comments of the final study article on page 28 where it had this to say:.
"the very concept of foreigner has already lost much of its meaning among jehovahs witnesses, who pay little attention to the nationality of those in their midst.
recently, for example, several of their smaller branch offices were merged to simplify the work of oversight and to improve efficiency in accomplishing the preaching of the good news of the kingdom.
Spindoctors.
If things don't work out I think they could find great jobs writing for Fox News.
i went to this congregation from 1969 to 1979. in 1979 it was dissolved and everyone was assigned to two new congregations.
i was only 10 yrs old, so nobody told me why.
but isnt it ususual for the sunflower name not to be carried over but two new ones to be made.
Congregation name changes are common, and not for any nefarious reason. They usually change the name to reflect a more current reflection of the area. Many, many times territory boundaries change and the old name has no relationship to the current congregation. In Long Beach we had an old old congregation called "Central." It was renamed to "Shoreline" because it is the actual name of the area it covers. Same congregation. "Signal Hill" became "Hillside."
I know that area in Santa Ana. They completely reorganized the area due to the growth in adjuct cities, Tustin, Irvine etc. The freeway widen where the old hall was and the society made some money on that deal from the State of California. They built a large 2 KH facility with CO quarters in Tustin that covers that whole area now.
I do know of serious problems at that KH, though not that congregation. But they were political in nature and had to do with an old, iron fisted, mean elder that thought the congregation was his, as in the old "congregation servant" days. He was disciplined eventually and went away, (I think).
Edited to add: California's reputation is seriously exagerated in the minds of others that think Hollywood TV is real life. But hey, it gives people something to judge, which is always nice and important to many.
now it's caught the attention of r. kelly who did some kind of remix or something, (didn't watch the remixed vid).
i left a message that said everytime there's an article about jws in the news, all the dubs usually come out of the woodwork and leave their messages, but now there seems to be only a 5 messages.
are they ashamed or something?.
I swear, the WBTS, the gift that keeps on giving. Spurlock and now this.
Hilarious how out of touch they are. Amazing.
if you do tell me a bit about where you live in just a few words.

Long Beach.
i guess no matter what country you live in, the costs of food and everything are going up.
it's certainly no different where mrs cedars and i live, and we're noticing a huge increase on our monthly spending for basic commodities - especially food and drink.. normally when we go shopping i tend to stock up on drinks - mostly beer, wine, and fizzy drinks like coke, fanta or sprite.
i tend to be quite picky with my fizzy drinks, and i can't really tolerate cheap "store brand" imitations.
I started doing that a few years ago, and would mix fruit juice or cranberry juice cocktail for flavor. Then I got one of those soda makers and it was even cheaper.
terry was admitted to the hospital yesterday.
he has a severe case of cellulites which has affected his neck glands.

Great news! Wishing you continued recovery.

But I cannot look away. Can't wait. Jessica is truly awesome.
as many of you may know, dishnet in it's infinite wisdom decided to drop all of their amc programming.
since many of you out there are much more tech savy than i, is there any way to get their programming such as a roku player with netflix or hulu plus?
i would like to tell dish to shove it, but i don't want to go to another cable service.
