well, we thought we'd be here for at least 2 years.
last week my wife was told that her office will close jan. 31st!
this is actually kinda' normal for bechtel.
Blondie, when I first started reading this forum your posts said you were from Argentina. My husband is from there. We were happily suprised to find someone else from there. Now I see that you change the country from time to time. So I gather you are not from Argentina?
Well, I really enjoy your posts anyway.

if a brother doesn't go to meetings in 10 years or so, and isn,t df'd, is he still considered a brother?.
maybe not a brother in good standings, but is he still a brother?.
and if he is still a brother, why don't they treat him like one?.
As of January 2006 Awake magazine is only published once a month.
They said it will feature "even more Bible based articles than in the past."

We decided to go to meeting yesterday because its our circuit overseer week and we've missed meetings for weeks now. We figured it would be worse for our fade if we didn't show up all week.
Anyway, when we got there only few cars in the parking lot. Turns out they changed our meeting to the morning for the
convienience of the CO and we missed it. So we went out for a nice dinner. That's my favorite kind of meeting. Ha ha.
your absolute favorite song of all time.
no lists.

Since this is going to be my first Christmas since starting the fade, I'll choose my favorite Chrismas song.
"O Holy Night"
(but I can't pick just one song in the whole wide world)

does anyone have a scan of the pic of herodias' daughter offering john the baptist's head on platter to herod?
i think it was in the greatest man book but am not sure.
i just remember it being disgusting.
Here's a scan on the page in the greatest man book.
this is the drug that my daughter was trying to tell me about.
she is a pharmacy tech.
she says that it is one of the most asked for drugs now, and that it appears to be affective.. fda newsfor immediate release.
I also am a pharmacy tech and several people have come back to the pharmacy after starting on Chantix to tell us it is working very well for them.
what more confusing and off the wall book in the bible, can there be, then the book of revelation.
it has all sort of odd things being talked about, all sorts of weird events that seem to only be connected when you twist the mind to the maximum of your imagination.
so many people, in religions, have tried to explain this off the wall book and yet refuse to face the fact that it might just be complete imagination of nonsense.
The WT society book on Revelation is what gets me. They take every verse in that bible book and apply it to themselves.
Trumpet blasts = conventions, locusts etc.= preaching of JW's, and on and on. Give me a break! How arrogant to think to
insert their publishing organization into the true meaning of prophesies that are supposed to affect everyone on earth.
I dont know if anyone really knows what it all means but that Revelation Climax book is way out there.

i just read another topic about cos and it got me thinking .
almost every single co's wife was sick and terribly unhappy.
i remember listening to them complain about not having a home, not having children, the accomodations of the friends, etc.
Our CO wives always were expensively dressed and elegant looking ladies. I always noticed how the CO always would give talks about
how we don't have good enough attendance at meetings or enough hours of participation in FS yet they dont have to go to work every day at
a real job and pay bills like the rest of us. Their job is to go in service every day and have us pay the bills for them.
Also, they always were on special diets and we have to prepare the appproved food for them.
i'd like to compile a list for my next blog, but i would love some help.
they can refer to any religion you like.
here's a start:.
"the society says..."
"the comments from the branch are..."
"the friends"
