What are you doing to preach the "good news" to your neighbors?
by mizpah inwhen i left the organization this question was asked by some jws.
it was undoubtedly asked with the thought in mind that we weren't fulfilling our dedication to jehovah?
i know what my answer was to this.

Disagreements between elders
by Gadget inthere seems to be a lot of local differences between what witnesses are allowed to do and what they aren't.
i'm in a situation where elders in one area are incouraging a course of action, and elders in another area are totally against it, saying it is a disfellowshipping offence.
anybody been in a situation where elders disagreed like this?

Hair grows, and sometimes shameless people have no earthly clue what to do with it. If it was meant to grow.. I say.. let it GROW! If people want to turn it into a disfellowshipping offence for what God obviously meant to put and STAY there, well so let it be. If it was meant to be short, it would break off before it got that long..but obviously God meant it to be there.

I don't want to be a reality hound, but I've been through these uncharted waters before. He wants you to wait around while he sexes around, is all it amounts to. I'd love to be all lovey dovery and romantic about it, but all it amounts to is using you as a backup and a booty call. He'd like you to believe that he's being all philosophical and shit.. and trying to figure out which "way" is right for him.. and that's all well and good, but really it's just an excuse to lose you for the short term and turn on the booty calls, while you wait in the sidelines PINING AWAY for his love. I say pine AWAY, and lose him. When a man truly loves you he'll be with you through thick and thin and won't try to LOSE you. YOu *are* his one and only booty call, night and day!.. and no other woman will take his time away from YOU, girlfriend.

All I can say, basically, is that if someone's actions morally assault yer conscience, then it's wrong and ought to be taken up with the sherrif's department.

Should the U.S. Release Photos of the Hussein Son's?
by Funchback inmy *personal* opinion is that they should because the people of iraq will probably require some proof.
i don't have any interest in seeing the photos but i believe that their photos will spread throughout the internet and the news media and curiosity will eventually cause me to peek at the photos.
don't know why i would have interest in seeing a couple of lifeless bodies though.

It's not blatant hypocrisy by the United States. It's blatant hypcrisy by the media. The media are the ones that were outraged when Perl's decapitated body was shown. The US had nothing to do with it. The media were the ones that showed the captured US troops, not the government. You don't see the US gov. site displaying the bodies, just the media, as usual.

This is pretty common. Don't get your panties in an uproar. It is highly doubtful that the Judge will allow lawyer's fees. Most likely, htey will be asked to pay their own lawyer's fees.

I Just Don't "Fit" Anywhere!
by pettygrudger ini'm sitting at work today, listening to all the different "cliques" around me, typing here on these boards a bit (don't tell), and it occurred to me again that i just don't fit.. .
it seems like i don't "fit" anywhere.
i'm always on the outskirts of alot of "groups", always on the fringe, but never inside.

Like you said OCW: we *are* round pegs trying to fit in a square hole. Nothing wrong with that! Some of life's most interesting and exciting people were the same. I've lived a highly interesting life. Nothing much to the left of adventure, except that I've always been attracted to the "fringies" and that's fine and dandy with me. Their lives have intermingled with mine, been crossed over, under, over, whatever. It's all good. For, from them, I've learned to live life a little crazy: a little on the wild side. I'm used to it. My Father is not even a Witness, and is one of the most oddball people I've ever met. He "attracts" oddballs, and so my whole life has been surrounded by oddballs: JW's from one side, and fringies from another. I've got a million stories to tell, and from each of them I've learned just a little more bout myself, and the world around me. I was invested with a keen sense of curiosity, a divine sense of humor, and an endless thirst to know everyone. From all senses, I have molded a world of interest, laughter, curiosity, a thirst for knowledge and with these I have embarked on the most precious mission of my life: to find out everything about everyone and everything. I love it *all*! It makes me an oddball because I'm not on the normal American quest of money, prestiege, and influence. As long as I have food, shelter, my family and animals, and all the world has to offer, I'm on an endless quest for triviality.. and that's fine by me! I like everything... it's all *so good*. Every little piece fits somewhere in this large jigsaw puzzle of life.
So, don't feel like an oddball anyone: it's just YOU coming alive. Feeling the feelings, living the life, doing the things. Be there in every minute and take what the world has to give, including the down, and just live it. That's what it's there for. If I were to die today, I could honestly say that I've lived life to its fullest merriment. Maybe it wasn't in the "normal" way of money, power, or prestiege, but I sipped every last drop out of my cup and left my lipstick smears. <grin>
It feels odd to feel odd.. but once you get used to it, you realize you have a distinct advantage over MOST of the populace. You are not hindered by class, social, or economic distinction. You just "are" and you are watching and enjoying all of it, not hindered by fears that are the accompaniment of most social wizards: weight, looks, cars, houses, etc. You just are a person that is riding on the coattails of destiny! live and let live...

Another question: I know I am just full of them today! On an average print run of ONE of the magazines, how many acres of forest, or how many trees fall? Just curious.

I hope this isn't a dumb question. Wait.. someone said there isn't a dumb question, but this one sounds kinda dumb. I'm just wondering if decaying bodies don't emit a lot of gasses that might destroy the ozone layer? Any scientific postulation on billions of decaying bodies? What about all the deforestation that occurs when the Awake! and Watchtower take up all that wood pulp? Aren't they blatantly stupid for printing an article such as this on paper? Good gawd...
