4Luke 9:49, Bill Bowen and the WTBTS
by Valis inone of my colleagues who just got kicked out of the episcopal seminary in west virginia knows that i post here and proffered this scripture to me as another piece of ammo for us.
luke 9:49 in response, john said: instructor, we saw a certain man expelling demons, by the use of your name and we tried to pervent him, because he is not following with us.
but jesus said to him" 'do not you men try to prevent him, for he that is not against you is for you".

Coffee break, and talking with some nice householders.
Funny how the jws say that they are doing "God's work" and the try all kinds of techniques, like some of those mentioned, to make that work more bearable. That's the whole problem - preaching the WTS way is normally not bearable for most people, so they have to take long breaks, run errands, etc.
And for kids? I have seen so many examples of parents having to bait their kids into the ministry with promises of a donut break. Sometimes, as soon as we would get into the car after the meeting for service, the poor kids would ask about donuts and break.

west nile at my house
by not interested injsut a note to any horse owners:.
yesterday my neighbor's horse came down with west nile, he had just given the vaccine a week ago, at the same time as i vaccinated my horses, the local vets were saying that it wouldnt be a problem here untill next year and now there are 75 horses that have come down with it,.
so if you have horses and havent vaccinated them for west nile please do it, it is so sad to see the effects take over a strong, healthy, young, horse.. what has me worried is that with my l\uck im going to be the first person localy to get it.

NI, we've had two dead crows tested postive for West Nile Virus in my vicinity, though no mosquitos have yet been found to carry the virus here so far, among the ones tested anyway.
Oddly, I've had a bout with a possible virus all week, feeling warm (even though my temp is normal) and also feeling a bit sick to my stomach. I went to the doc and they did draw blood, but my results are not yet in. There's been a stomach virus going around here lately, so I think that's all I have. To my knowledge, I have not been bitten by anything. Of course I have been sort of kidding people that maybe I have West Nile (as I sit with fingers crossed).

I'm back ... now READ THIS
by Simon inwe've just got back from out holidays after travelling with 2 young kids for 24+ hours and logged on to see the same old people complaining about the same old things with the same worn out arguments.. the topics seem to be along the lines of:posters should be allowed to say anything they want.we want absolute free speech and seem to be under the mistaken illusion that the usa has it.there is mass moderation happening on this forum and censorship is rife.
... and so on.. all of these claims are utter crap as far as i am concerned.. now, i am not going to put up with people trying to stir things up and interfere with the majority of posters who want to use this forum properly and see me and moderation as the main topic of conversation.. keep harping on and you will be deleted.
harsh?

possible baseball strike - your opinion?
by jack2 inah yes, major league baseball is about to shoot itself in the foot again, as the player's union has set an august 30th strike deadline.
personally, i feel that these bozos (owners and players included) can't be so dumb as to actually jeapordize this season, just as they ruined the 1994 season.
how do you feel about a possible baseball strike?

Gopher, good points made from the perspective of a Twins fan. I have been watching the FOX broadcast of the STL - Phil game today, and the announcers were just commenting on the effect the strike could have on the Twins fans, who first had to endure the possible folding of the team, and now have to deal with the possibility of a great season being ruined by the strike, should it happen.

How do you feel about a possible baseball strike? Do you care? Were you one of those who 'left' as a fan after the 1994 work stoppage? Do you feel that baseball has already been ruined by greed and disregard for the fans?

Not a Good Day for JW's in Republic of Georgia
by Kenneson inan earlier story by radio free europe and justin burke entitled "u.s. embassy asks georgian authorities to protect jehovah's witnesses" proved quite accurate.. http://www.eurasianet.org/resource/georgia/hypermail/news/0063.shtml .
today's georgia times carried an article under the heading "orthodox followers smahed up the jehovian congress.
" it seems that jws were planning some type of convention in tbilsi, when approximately 100 men dressed in black raided the place and burned the building down.. http://www.geotimes.ge/religion_8.htm

Odd how the story terms it an "accident" when in fact "incident" would be more like it.

Eggs
by larc inlife here in our community has been tough lately, so i thought i would put up some fluff.
my question to you is: what is your favorite way to eat eggs?
now, my preference is hard boiled eggs in a salad, an egg salid sandwich, and the royalty of all egg meals - eggs benedict.

jack2
Moe, you cutie, I love the egg pic!
I'll take mine sunny side up, or scrambled. I like them with pita bread and a type of arabic cheese on the side (pronounced: ah -reesh.....gutteral sound on the r.)
