As under cover of departing Day
Slunk hunger-stricken Ramazan away,
Once more within the Potter's house alone
I stood, surrounded by the Shapes of Clay.
Shapes of all Sorts and Sizes, great and small,
That stood along the floor and by the wall;
And some loquacious Vessels were; and some
Listen'd perhaps, but never talk'd at all.
Said one among them--"Surely not in vain
My substance of the common Earth was ta'en
And to this Figure moulded, to be broke,
Or trampled back to shapeless Earth again."
Then said a Second--"Ne'er a peevish Boy
Would break the Bowl from which he drank in joy,
And He that with his hand the Vessel made
Will surely not in after Wrath destroy."
After a momentary silence spake
Some Vessel of a more ungainly Make;
"They sneer at me for leaning all awry:
What! did the Hand then of the Potter shake?"
Whereat some one of the loquacious Lot--
I think a Sufi pipkin-waxing hot--
"All this of Pot and Potter--Tell me then,
Who is the Potter, pray, and who the Pot?"

My theory... replace sunbathing/tanning time with working out, and you'll look better than you would with the tan.

Uzzah, thanks for the prudent and non-judgmental caveat lector, I certainly don't see "hatred" in your post.
Yizuman, best of luck!

Not being "anointed," I never did and never expected to, except in the amorphous way that you can "feel the love in the Hall," meaning that everybody blinks in unison.

Book study comment on DF'ing tonight SUCKED!!!
by maryacclaim inso i went to the meeting tonight with my mom, cuz she's visiting.
i know i know, that's my first mistake.. so, they're going over this part on disfellowshipping, and they start going on and on about how it's jehovah's love for the congregation that "he disfellowships.".
yeah so its not the organization that disfellowships, its jehovah.

Youse guys are high-larious.
I thought the Memorial was cancelled to give us an extra "study night."
I have an allergic reaction to holy spirit.
I don't attend any functions during the full moon because that's what the ancient pagans used to do.
I didn't have time to buy a new Memorial outfit.
I'm a recovering alcoholic and I simply can't be around wine. Stop tempting me!
and my #1 excuse... I can reject Jesus just as effectively from home.

Do you like bubbly personalities?
by rebel8 inwhen people are super bubbly/friendly/cheery, or constantly smiling ear-to-ear when the situation doesn't call for it, i immediately suspect they are either phonies, trying to sell me something, or suffering from bipolar mania.
that is not really very fair of me, but that's what springs to mind.. i hate nervous giggling too.
it completely grates on my nerves.

Bubbly is OK if it's completely genuine. People sometimes ask me what I'm smiling about... the smile just runs in the family.

Most stupid blames on Satan....
by Albert Einstein inin our kh broke down the heating system this week, the weather is pretty warm now, so it was just a little bit colder than usually inside during todays meeting ..... and the speaker today during the public talk mentioned: we are happy you came, no matter satan is testing your loyallty by breaking our boiler ..... would you believe it?
if it was satan who is to blame for, do you think jehopvah will send some angels to fix it?.

I'd love to see them warn the repairman, "Be careful, Satan's in there with the boiler!"
What? They're not going to do that because it's all a crock of shite? Ah, that makes more sense.
