  Judging from the 2007 youtube of him - it is a given he also has his hair colored on a regular basis (and it is definitely not a home job)

  Feeling Unfit, Fat and Unhealthy

  a semi-serious request.. i hate exercise (yes i am an indolent slob), i sit in an office or a car most of the time and eat and drink too much.

  so my new year's resolution is to lose weight (about 3 stone would be good) to try and prolong my life a little since i ain't got eternity in mind anymore.

  i am looking for fun ways to get fit, or an effective home based diet programme that has worked for other people.

  Onereason for a gentleman fader to stay reasonably associated...

  one congregation phenomenon i have observed in a variety of halls - older, not so model material brothers have a real chance with younger, attractive sisters - and often at the prodding of the young sisters parents and congregation members.. and if you have a little more scratch than the average jw brother (which isn't hard to do with a bunch of window washers), you really have an advantage.. a 40 year old man walking through the mall would have zero chances with an attractive 18+ year old girl.

  but take that same man, who has been faithfully attending meetings and doing all the right things and put him in the kingdom hall and suddenly anything is possible.. sad, but true.. of course, who wants all the drama that comes with a girl that young - but it is something i have observed.. when i was in my early 20's and came back into "the truth", and i had a few dollars - and i had so many sisters tripping all over themselves for me... and the ages range from late teens to late 30's.

  it was crazy.

  As the only parent to two gorgeous teenage girls (ages 17 & 18 who actively date), I would take a shotgun to any man they brought home that was more than a year or two older than them. It is infuriating to hear about these parents that allow (and even encourage) a relationship with a dirty old man. How is it any different than the parents in the Hebrew scriptures that sacrificed their children? Where are these parents' brains?

  here is a fugue i composed and perform titled the watchtower fugue.. a fugue is a theme chasing itself around.

  in this fugue, the themes are monothematic and don't really make.

  any sense.

  this is an email i received from my brother in law:.

  after discussing with our family and several friends about the popular movie avatar, and the prevalence of "avatars" on the internet, we thought that other friends might be interested in what we found in our family worship research, tell us what you think:.

  merriam-websterdictionary - avatar: the incarnation of a hindu deity (as vishnu).

  JW Tall Tales

  recently i was cleaning my bookcase and found an old book that i enjoyed as a child.

  it had stories in it such as paul bunyan, pecos bill, and john henry.

  while these stories are fictional, i enjoyed them because they were entertaining, and easy to understand.. fast forward to the late 70's when i was a teenager sitting at the ca hall in janesville wisconsin.. the speaker was explaining the great sacrifice god made in sending his son down to earth to die for all mankind.

  I have a true story that would have been used from the platform if I had still been a JW

  In the Spring of 2008 I stopped at the mailbox and opened my tax rebate check from Bush ($935.00). I drove around the corner to my house and see that my cat has been severly wounded. I rush her to the vet hospital to undergo surgery. When I pick her up the next day the bill was the exact amount of the rebate check that I had received hours before.

  If this had happened in my pioneer days this experience would have been used many times over to show how Jehovah takes care of us exactly when we need it and how much we need. And probably something about Jehovah using the secular authorities to bless his people.
