getting through to customer service on the first try and the customer service rep. actually knows what they are doing and have your problem resolved on the first try!!!!

woohoo!!!!!

......do the little things make you happy or does it take a lot?...and for yourself happiness is................?

A chemical reaction in the brain that lets us know when our natural and cultural needs have been met. The more of these needs that are met, the happier that person is.
2050---------- I think I can buy that. That's what leads to a more enduring, deep-seated sense of happiness/ satisfaction/ contentment. In the absence of the above working in our favor, only fleeting experiences can provide even fleeting moments of 'happiness' to speak of. Sometimes these small, fleeting things provide the best chance for experiencing happiness that we've got. No wonder the little things count for so much!

Leolaia-- You're not kidding those look like biscuits...or an aerial view of a flourescent screw-in lamp bulb. How on earth are we supposed to make emotional content of emails clear with that??
Kudra--that picture you typed looks kind of Charlie Brown with a party hat on. Not too much different, I suppose.

here is a short version of the video where the elder on the stand makes some really misleading statements about disfellowhipping.

he's really got guts.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szyg-cvj-re.

Thanks for posting. Just watching that clip hurts.
They don't even go into the shunning that takes place withOUTa person actually being disfellowshiped.

LOL on the sperm one! So what's this one you signed off with? It looks like a zombie or a crack addict.

I have a pagan friend who follows Moragon (sp?), the god of justice. He's in school for law enforcement, intending to be an undercover cop. (He'd be a good one, too.)

So, tetra--what IS that image? I read that as 'computer on standy'...actually as Mr. Jetson's computerized robot on standby, but anyway...........

Moggy lover--------- Ya know that little smiley face at the top of the reply message box? Click on that and wait for all the images to show up. Make sure your screen is slid up high enough to see all the images that appear. There are lots to choose from--and have fun with...so long as you can identify your emoticons accurately!!

The emoticons on this board are fairly plainly visible and easy to 'read'...but the emoticons on my email account are so blurry-edged and faded that I have no idea WHAT they are supposed to be conveying. I just stick with the simple keyboard faces on my email account. :^( :^) ;^) :^D
I'd rather be a stick-figure when it comes to emotions than present an emoticon as readable as botox.....

Why I Came Back

it's been a long, long time since i've posted on any of the boards.

partially, i had gotten out and busy.

this board was indispensable and helped me leave the organization with a lot of confidence in what i was doing.. but, it's not all completely over.

So, as long as I have to deal with witnesses affecting my family, I'll be here.
Yep.... I think this speaks for many of us on this board.

lately my family member that is still undecided about staying out or going back keeps mentioning this big push that the jws keep emphasising that "we are really really really near the end.

this is the very very very end.

we are deep deep deep into the end.
J-ex-W

Has anyone else heard of a recent push toward the "very very very end"?
Oh, yes.... On the phone connection to the meeting, I heard a traveling Circuit Overseer give the comment that "We are in the last MINUTES of this old system of things." --Not the last 'days,' but the last minutes.
