I know. I'm just in a mood . I received a call from an elder in my hometown a few days ago telling me my parents are "concerned" about me. And yet, I haven't heard from my mother in months and my father in years. I was content with the distance, but giving my number to this random elder annoyed me. So, when I called my mother to ask what she's concerned about, my father, who's in the background never even asked to speak to me.

You're right. Expecting my JW father to talk to me is WAY too high of an expectation. Thanks!
'Twas.
i can hardly believe the prices they're getting for pristine copies of those books they handed out to those of us with scalps populated with lice, hands and fingers encrusted with bits of jelly and dried mud.
they're getting between $100 and $200 per copy.. thanks to google images, i couldn't resist taking another peek between some of those charming colored pages as a reminder to what we were actually exposed to in trying to make us literate.. most of these look contemporary to when i went to school -- the 1940's.
one of them may go back into the 1930's.
I recall seeing those growing up, but I don't have any specific memories of using them to learn to read. I was in elementary school in the 80s, not sure if they were in popular use at that time.
Wise words John Doe..
It's just a fact of life that I keep forgetting. Just thought I'd remind others. I know I let people down all the time, too, so I guess it's fair trade.
i'm not that good at quoting the bible.
i see no value in learning verses by heart, sorry.
however, i just learned that in the new world translation (the organization's bible), john 10:30, jesus is said to say "i and the father are one".
"My husband and I are one". What would that mean?
take this 72 yes/no question test to find out.. http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/jtypes2.asp.
Mine was STFU
..you can always count on people to let you down.
Will you be my friend?
