omg.

i have the entire service group coming over for dinner on sunday.

i don't mind when my wife has a couple over that are cool, but with more than 2 or 3 extra people in my house i get nervous.

FTB - I feel you. No matter how long I'm out etc., the anticipation of hanging out with a group of JW's is nerve wracking. Anticipation is usually worse than the reality.

If their motive is to reach out to you, think of a simple comeback to have ready. Psyche yourself up to be super positive and happy and ask about them/their families/work...anything...it always gets them off track.

If it's strictly a social occasion for lunch, go with the flow. Same suggestions as the above paragraph. For some reason being strong and sure and turning the conversation back to them has always worked for me. Crisis averted.

Good luck!

Yea, Orphan is a crazy story, and typically not something I'd like. But somebody on FB mentioned it and I gave it a shot. It's oddly fun.

I just spent an hour last night cruising through Xmas songs to add to my playlist. My tastes are all over the place. I like pretty, I like R & R, I like classic...do not like Kenny G...he makes me want to kill.

I did find the Phil Spector album of Xmas songs, circa 1960. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BVYDdl2M0A&list=PL35F2FD72D6AEBCE7

Chuck Berry https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4GlAneEa78 & https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUQ33Q7s4ec

Probably top is Springsteen "Santa Clause is Coming to Town."

Too many

Simon (and all) - I thought of another series that's pretty interesting, "Orphan Black." I think it's on Netflix, or amazon Prime.

Oh and tal, I just checked and Outlander continues in Paris next season. I.Can't.Wait.

as religious group cashes in, former councilman lashes out.

It's a corporation whose goal is to insure its own existence by its decisions. There is no interest in its flock, or neighborhood, or abuse victims, or elderly, or youth, or or or anything other than its own success and survival.

Heck, they are the ones that blame a 9 year old for her own abuse.

This is great stuff to be circulating on the internet. I bet more will be revealed as these real estate sales move forward. You bet the potential investors will be searching for all information regarding the WTBS corporation, good and bad, to be used to their advantage in the business transactions. It will be great if they fall into the videos of the Royal Commission...

Street witnessing to Christmas Shoppers Yesterday

well, ok, but targeting a german christmas market seems a little hypocritical...

Dagney

SAdly, they are so out of touch that they don't realize every year the media posts articles about the origins of Xmas, etc. And the History Channel...shows are devoted to it, every year. They are stuck in their own superior arrogance with a dash of martyr to think they are delivering some special, important holiday information,

I stood on that soapbox my own self, not understanding why people would deliberately "choose" to celebrate something based on falsehoods/paganism...whatever. But I get it now. It's just a reason to celebrate. Humans enjoy the celebrations, the carving out a period of time for traditions, foods, and enjoying it with others.

Atlantis, if it is indeed our much loved Leolaia, please send her our best regards. Her comments and threads were some of the most enlightening I've ever read. We miss her, but are thrilled she is out and about with that brilliant mind of hers. xx
