He loves it, too.
the poster, pirata, asked me this question on 4-20-11:.

i'm starting to see the value in using paraphrased editions for to help get clarity of meaning.. i agree, and in my opinion, a good example of getting clarity of meaning can be found here:.

my last update on my daughter was so good...but it didn't turn out that way.
she was cleared to go back to work, but with limitations... she couldn't lift more than 10 pounds.
her employer wanted her back but wouldn't agree to the lifting restriction.
Sending angels of healing and strength your way......

most people really don't want to think about it....but if you could choose, how would like to leave the planet?.
going out with a bang could be fun..... dying as a martyr?.
dying as a hero saving someone?.
I used to think a plane crash was the way to go - quick, fast, relatively painless.
Then I was in a plane with 20 mins of severe turbulence. We were hanging onto the armrests, stuff was flying around the cabin, people were screaming......
And I thought, Nope! This sucks!

we have hit ten centimeters and counting of snow.
unbelievable, lol.
yesterday it was green.
Please keep it down there, Tammy.
We had a last (hopefully....*fingers crossed**) dumping of snow this week, but it's already melted.
i was going to write this whole big thing regarding something that recently happened to me, but i wasn't sure how much feedback it would attract.
therefore, i'll just ask this question:.
has anyone here ever voiced displeasure or experienced difficulties due to clearly rude, incompetant, greedy or otherwise inappropriate behavior from fellow jws, only to be told that you are simply being "tested"?.
This is my story. I have since removed the letters, so I hope you can still follow the gist of what was going on.

One elder kept telling me that "You are the spiritual one, so you are the one who has to just keep taking it."
But there's only so many years a person can eat s**t with a smile and say, "Mmmmm, this s**t tastes good."
