what is your favorite type of coffee drink?.
i don't know too much about all these different kinds.. how does steamed milk affect the flavor as opposed to cold cream?
or is it a 'temperature thing' that makes the difference?.
I go to Starbucks oncein a while. We have one in our Barnes and Nobles and one in a Target store too.
Just makes it convenient is all.
I usually have a Caramel Macchiato but I rally like the green tea frappuchino too.
Ohhhh and their hot caramel apple cider is excellent!
wow - finally!.

Hello and welcome!
it used to be that pioneers supported themselves with free literature and magazines and put in 100+ hours a month.
then 90, then 70.. a publisher had to put in at least an hour a month to be counted.
now 15 minutes.. they used to hand out a written review and collect it and grade it!
I've noticed this too.
I remember all those assemblies where they would constantly drone that we have to do everything "all the more-so" as the end is drawing closer.
Whatever happened to "all the more-so"?
it used to be so nice to listen to the orchestras at the circuit and district conventions.
then they ended it and i know i missed it.
we had a couple of youn men in our cong who were in the orchestra.
I used to play in the orchestras at both circuit and district assemblies when I was younger. We were told that there would be no more orchestras because it was taking up too much of our time practising that could be better used for other things (read field service)
They also said it wasn't proper for us to play our own arrangements of the Society's music.
i am reading this book.
has anyone read this book?.
god against the gods by johnathan kirsh.. i am half way through it, and can't help, so far, .
I am going to get this book, sounds interesting.
Oompa-yes, there are millions of active pagans of all sorts. I would suggest you start by reading about Wicca, which is a modern pagan belief system, and go from there to learn about others. Pagans are, for the most part, very tolerant people. There is a great emphasis on personal responsibility and being careful to do no harm.
going out in "service".
we used the term thousands of times, but did we ever consider the term itself and what it actually meant?
but whom were we serving?
Farkel, I have learned much from your topics too. It may be a little slow now but there are many new ones lurking here just waiting for the chance to join. Your posts are very thought provoking, I hope you continue.
i got home from work last night and guess what happened while i was gone?.
my wife tells me she called the presiding overseer to set up a time for all of us to talk about our premarital no-no's.. "really?
" i asked her.
Hey Jimmy Page- I'm going through much the same thing
maybe we should introduce your wife to my husband
i know for many of the 44 years i was in the jw cult from birth - i felt i could.
or should i say i was conditioned to feel that " i should " trust the elders.
as jehovah's witnesses we were all told the elders were " crags in a waterless country " who would be a " spiritual stronghold " for us.
I never thought they wanted to understand me so I stopped telling them anything important. How can they give good dvice if they don't care to get to know a person?
