out of the blue, my wife told me that after this week's service meeting on friday (co visit) she is not going to anymore meetings during the week at night.
only sunday (am) meetings.
she explained that it is difficult and not safe for her to drive after dark (vision issues: i have the same problem so i couldn't help her if i wanted to).
Have you two been checked for cateracts? That can affect night vision.
I find it is helpful when I change the context of our interactions. For instance, going for a walk around the neighbourhood. We will have a different pattern of conversation and new stuff will come up. It's good for us.
why it has been deemed appropriate to assign brothers and sisters in each international convention city to spend hours and hours making souvenir grab bags full of knick-knacks.
and to assign other brothers and sisters to spend hours and hours preparing choreography, music, lighting, costumes and props, and practicing and practicing cowboy songs, pop music, dance and jw.org skits.. .
and to assign other brothers and sisters to spend hours and hours constructing giant bibles popping out of jw.org boxes and giant bibles turning into baptismal pools.. .
Judas saw the anointing of Jesus' feet with expensive perfume as a colossal waste, better spent on the poor.
imagine, for a moment, that you are the christian god.

what would it be like to never be able to learn anything .
as a kid growing up in the uk we used to play 'cowboys and indians' and watch high chaparal and bonanza along with other cowboy films.
later, in the 70's kung fu would be shown with caine going through the 'old west'.
we even had a chocolate bar that was marketed with a 'cowboy' theme...milky bar.. as far as i know the 'wild west' as shown on tvdidn't actually exist.. are there people that believe it did?.
Trail rides up in Grande Cache. I worked with some of the Landrys.
i have been lurking on this site for many years.

i just wondering how this vile term came to be used in constant referral to the org, i really, really hate it!
it's only since coming out that i have realised how much the jdubs use it.

And Mark Twain...
We are always hearing of people who are around seeking after the Truth. I have never seen a (permanent) specimen. I think he has never lived. But I have seen several entirely sincere people who thought they were (permanent) Seekers after the Truth.

That was the end of the search. The man spent the rest of his hunting up shingles wherewith to protect his Truth from the weather.
