  greetings, word lovers:.

  in my job, i work with words and wrangle them into shape, well, in a manner of speaking.

  one word might be mistaken for another, a word with either a similar or identical sound.

  So, NOW we know what non-JW's think of WT tracts!

  LOL.

  I enjoyed the banter.

  A sage once opined that Jesus of Nazareth could have easily passed for a light-skinned Black man, or a dark-skinned White man.

  Food for thought.

  That's right - imagine my chagrin to learn that noisome and noisy are in no wise connected. Well, some do find noise disagreeable.

  I thought of wasabi because I was eating a spicy concoction that had my eyes watering.

  I remember both the 1974 and 1987 admonitions.

  I don't think anybody in this area paid it too much attention.

  You need to READ the book.

  Oprah, I fear, is not going to do Mrs. Lack's story the justice it deserves.

  today, i received a paper letter in my mail.

  since i left at the second half of 2016, i never received something like this.

  it is a one and a half page hand written letter that is written by an elder pioneer (i guess he needed some easy way to get his time in).. it is not written in english, so i will translate it:.

  I think it is an appropriate response.

  Kind and firm.
