  my wife and i took the grand kids to a flea market in st. augustine, florida today 1/19.

  after sucking down some hot dogs on a bright sunny cold day, i came across a jw booth set up with the latest mags and books, offering free bible studies.

  i decided not to confront them, and spoil such a nice day, however, i will be forearmed with printed material if we go back again.. shalom.

  And the number of those in the pioneer ranks will swell to record numbers. Truly a sign that Jah is blessing this organization and this life saving is speeding up and the end is even closer than ever.

  If you drink coffee . . .

  do you prefer regular brew or the fancy offerings?

  can you drink it -- the leaded stuff -- any time, night or day?.

  no survey here, just curious.

  During the week at work I drink about a cup a day, (sort of several 1/2 cups), of regular brew, black, but it must be fresh.

  At home on the weekends I use a Nespresso machine and capules, and it is truly the best coffee. It's as good if not better than any specialty shop coffee and not as expensive. Dark roasts are my favorite. Sometimes I'll try something flavored if I'm out and about, sometimes the holiday flavor offerings are a treat.

  Sometimes caffeine gives me sleep problems and sometimes it doesn't. But I try not to have any later in the day just in case.

  Great Show last night by Brian Williams on RockCenter

  brilliant expose on scientology.

  in many instances you can submit "jw" in place of their title.

  however luckily the wtbts is bad, but not "as bad".

  Yes, it was a compelling interview. No wonder Katie Holmes hired body guards and did what she did and how she did it.

  I've been thinking about this very thing.

  I have never had a flu shot and I am old. I don't get the flu, and rarely sick. But everytime a season hits like this I worry.

  I still don't know what to do. A co-worker just went to Walgreens to get one since he is flying to NY today.

  I wish you strength and peace as you go through this situation, with you mom and JW family. As the caretaker, as has been said throughout this thread, you have every right to set some parameters. It's really strange at first to see a loved one off, a whole range of emotions and memories flood through our brains. But I have come to realize it is a privilege since going through this with my mother. Concentrate on your mom, and the actions to take with others will become clear.

  Take good care.

  Weird "new world" artwork from the 2013 calendar

  by cedars in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my mother-in-law has a strange obsession with calendars, and orders the society's calendar each year.

  this year's calendar is especially weird.

  it features images depicting future events - in particular, the society's vision of the new world order.. i've taken the opportunity to scan some of the images for you all to check out.. please note - there are captions for each of the images, but i don't have the english language version of the calendar so i'd rather just quote the scripture used so as not to reveal which country i'm in.. .
