  I was never a fan of Family Feud, but definitely remember him from The Match Game in the 70's and Hogan's Heroes.

  putting the final touches on a floor job this morning, i was pleased with the bona shine on the dark hardwood floor.

  i went out onto the deck to water some potted plants (i'm sloppy).

  wisely, i took off my shoes upon reentry.

  i know plenty of jehovah's witnesses who own and love this movie.

  in addition to that, i know some who are big fans of the musical, wicked.

  i suppose anything having to do with these will be lumped into the garbage by end of summer?.

  I never heard the Dubs say anything about the Wizard of Oz when i was growing up, Bewitched and I Dream of Jeanie were shows they were cautious of, but never heard anything about Oz.

  i dated someone earlier tonight and she looks pretty good, she invited me over to her home.

  she has a very good salary(she has phd degree) but i do not understand why she chose to live in a white trash mobile home park.

  i asked her how long she is going to live there, she said she just signed 2 year lease last month.

  but they still present their message in a very one sided, unrealistic and propaganda like manner.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzfu_vcwqso.

  Heritage was such a big deal when it came out that it was shown on local TV stations and I can still remember seeing advertisements for it in certain store windows. I remember it also was shown at the Hall one Sunday instead of he usual lecture.

  I think the only major TV time the Borg has gotten since Heritage came out was on Dateline when they did the story about child molesters within the Org . . !!

  back in 2003/4 when i was living in truth or consequences, new mexico there was this sister and her non witness husband that moved into our area.

  it was plain to see that the sister was suffering from serious mental problems.

  she was a very nice lady, but was unstable a lot of the time.

  Well, according to their rules and regulations, I think that technically I'm not since I was never baptized, but I think as an apostate does.

  What year did the Watchtower start saying taking blood transfusion is a "conscience matter"?

  If they did ever say that, can you imagine the shitload of lawsuits that could come from that? Taking blood was a definite NO, but now it's a conscience issue?

  All those Dubs that thought they were giving their life for Jah, actually gave up living for some old men in Brooklyn? That scandal would clean them out more than the child abuse issue !!

  You did handle it well, but I'm sure uberDub Terry will just consider it as "persecution from us worldly folks" as they are trained to do.

  But I'm sure he's still mystified as to how you know his name, since you say you look like your dad he'll probably figure it out.
