May 22 1969 Awake!
by zeb in"if you are a young person you need to face the fact you will never grow old in this system of things.. why not?
because all the evidence in fulfilment of bible prophecy indicates that this corrupt system is due to end in a few years...as a young person you will never fulfil any career that this system offers".

Are quality restaurants even slightly aware of the concept..
by The Rebel inof providing high quality food?.
personally i prefer the small restaurants with a owner who cooks the food.
often the food is equally imaginative and just as tasty as the more expensive restaurant.

JWdaughter,
Oh you just made me very hungry for the foods I used to love. All those delightful healthy beans and homemade breads!! Those were the days, long gone now. I still make homemade muffins for the family which of course I cannot eat because of the wheat.
As for dining out I much prefer the hidden little no name mom and pop places. Our family generally loves BBQ and the initial trip down looking for a house to buy, one of the crazy out of the way houses we found this hidden BBQ restaurant. This place has two dining rooms on either sides of the parking lot absolutely nothing fancy about it. From the time they open to the time they close there is a wait for a table. Last month online a list came out top 10 best hidden restaurants in Florida. Well I guess the lines are going to get longer. Maybe carry out will be an option now. LOL

Yes Smiddy the idea of waiting on Jehovah would never of cut it with me. Since higher education is a big part of my goal for all kids that would have been a huge clash.

Phizzy,
The snap on and off is for the shower, swimming pool and bedtime. OH, when I just want to turn someone off I just need to reach behind my ear and touch the button and like majic silence will return. My dil says I am very lucky because my 2 year old grandson has no volume control button installed on his voice as of yet.

BluesBrothers,
Up until yesterday not much of anything was very loud to me. LOL.
My daughter just graduated with a degree for deaf education and when my hearing test was completed I sent her a copy. Her response Mom if you were an elementary student they would go straight to American Sign Language and you would be eligible for the School for the Hearing Impaired.

Thank you Millie,
The greatest part was taking my 2 two year old grandkids to the appointment (they waited in reception area) it was their voices I wanted first. What a delight to truly hear them and take them out to eat.

I know the dropped pot feeling. When they used the ice maker yesterday that was just to much BUT it has always made that noise Mom. Haha not in my world of sound.
I am loving hearing the voices again.

Till yesterday it seems my world was very quiet. My kids and friends kept telling me you are so hard of hearing. Finally I got tired of asking them to repeat what they had just said. My only option was a Baha which is a titanium rod in the bone behind the ear because of all the damage to the ear canal and the ear drum. After the rod attached to the bone which took one month, they gave me the Baha which snaps on and off. This works as a hearing device.
WOW, now I can hear people around me talking very clearly BUT wait now they are laughing because I have discovered the world is not silent. The cafeteria has very noisy trays they clang, people make lots of noise in a cafeteria. We then went to a shopping center and parked the car when we got out of the car WOW all those cars going by are not as quiet as they used to be!! They are loud!! Then we went home -- it used to be this really quiet place. First I encountered the pool guy great now I will be able to hear him never could before. He has one powerful voice I heard him c l ear inside the house. LOL. Next came the lawn guy with his big machine, that is one LOUD piece of equipment. I used to sit outside while he cut the grass thinking that is one quiet mower.
So we are all sitting in the house and I am still trying to adjust to some of these sounds when something all of sudden goes away. I asked what just cut off or whatever noise just went away? The air conditioning just turned off. Ahhhh it makes that sound all the time? Then when my back was turned someone decided to get ice from the ice maker!!!! OK, I am not sure if I am ready for all this noise. I think I liked my quiet world this is definitely going to take some getting used to!!!

Circuit ASSembly low-lites
by FedUpJW inso in an effort to relieve some pressure here are what i term the low-lites of yesterday's assembly that i had to endure for the sake of family still in and my progressing fade.
apologies in advance for being pretty long winded.. these may not all be the actual words used, but the ones i use are close, and they pretty well say what was said from the platform.. right off the bat in the opening prayer the praises of the governing body were spoken.
thanking the g.b.

Never a JW but I am not sure that watching the news is a new thing because when I would mention news events to the "Elder " I would get responses like oh no I didn't see that but normally I only have the weather channel on.
