  we were invited to a friend's house for dinner and our hostess served pot roast with an out of sight salad and corn casserole.

  i tried the cassarole and loved.

  Mrs. Jones, you made me cook! A thing I rarely do. Haven't been able to think of anything but cornbread ever since you posted this and I finally made me some. Now Bendrr's got me thinking about pork chops. I knew better than to open a food thread.

  where do the watchtower writers get their information?

  are they free to research anything they like?.

  several years ago there was an article that said we must be specific in our prayers.

  Several years ago there was an article that said we must be specific in our prayers. I had probably been in about 10 years at that time, and it was news to me and everyone else I mentioned it to, so I thought it must be a brand new piece of information, but I don't know.

  Anyway, the funny thing was, that no source was cited in the article; no explanation was given for how they arrived at that conclusion. Even though I was very interested in it, I was not able at that time to learn any more.

  Years later I ran across similar information when reading a little about quantum physics. That made me think maybe that's where they had come up with that. But somehow, I couldn't see the GB approving of that - I don't feel like they would have wanted us to be looking into things like that. Or is it alright for them, but not us?

  It's just something I've always wondered about and would like to hear anyone's thoughts on it.

  i think it would be a laugh to give a party serving only foods like fairy cake, angelfood cake, devilled kidneys, devilled eggs.

  in fact any food with the name of a supernatural being in it!!.

  The same people who could arrive uninvited and unannounced at a stranger's door would be visibly upset if a friend stopped by their house before calling first.

  There were two that I think liked me, because we visited each other socially. Both were converts like me. Both were very intelligent, quick-witted women. One left before I did - I don't know where she is, because of course, she couldn't have told me she was leaving, could she? The other, I hope is out by now; she's just got too much going on not to ever realize she was deceived.

  Thanks, BabaYaga. That's what I always hope, is that a kid might find it. Try it! We might start an apostatrend.

  I don't remember the amount, but I had a formula I used. The hall expenses divided by the number of households; then I doubled it to make up for shamus . I'm sorry I ever gave anything, though.

  Something fun I've started doing lately is leaving piles of coins in the walmart parking lot as I'm pulling away; and the Sonic carhops get great tips.

  If there's a serious problem among the BOE, such as bullying, it's your only hope of getting something to change.
