i owe this one to palmtree (from an outside conversation):.
i had forgotten it, but way back in the late 1960s, when all the "real annointed" were pretty old, and the whole organization seemed to be run by the "other sheep" - i think somewhere between 1966 and 1968, i first ran into this term:.
"cracker eater" - a dispespectful term for the old, presumably senile, truly pre-1935 era jw annointed.. here is my nearly-forgotten story:.
He snidley said a cracker eater
i thought he was a spiritual leader
but soon the truth would be revealed
and so his fate would then be sealed
he traveled all about the land
proud that all his words were grand
One day the GB will arise
and run off with the money prize
the necks of witnesses will snap
when realizing it all was crap
i always loved getting away on winter break.
we usually went to florida and now i live in florida, so i vacation at home!
where did you go for your winter break?
We took a staycation at a local place that had a special tis the season deal. the place was over the top decorated and we had christmas eve dinner and in the morning their christmas brunch. THey also have a spa and I had a relaxing facial so it was great.
are you in a muddle over domestic chores?
ask happy homemaker for practical and up-to-the-minute advice.
you won't be disappointed!.
i wish we could all be sitting at the table drinking coffee, tea or whatever with Sylvia Snowbird. Maybe one day she will stop by unexpectedly and join us with her unique alabamian charm.
again,i want to tell you all how great it is to have you all here.its been an interesting year,with my mom moving in w/me permanently and dealing w/her leaving the jw's {at 83!!!
}.its been nice to come in here and read what yo are all up to,thanks to mr flipper and his beautiful mrs flipper,dreamgolfer and all of the others who have made this place so interesting for me.i think we are the true embodiment of what the dubs wish they had.unconditional frienmdship and support.so,i hope you all have a wonderful christmas,kwanza,festivus,or whatever,and remember,if anyone is ewver in maine?usa?let me know.id love to meet you!i live you all..even you,shamus!!!!!!lol!.

have a wonderful christmas and a perfect year
i never have.
i seldom get the "flu" and if i do, it usually happens after everyone else has gotten it.. i know of many people who regularly get the flu shot and they seem to always still get sick..
I have a very strong immune system and don't get sick that often so no i never get a flu shot. However, a very strange thing happened once Me and my husband went to a park that was full of ducks and we sat near them on a bench and they were everywhere a couple of days later we both were flattened with a horrible flu and we both just laid there immobilized. i suspect we caught some weird bird flu and survived but that was the only flu I think I ever had.
.
a very merry christmas to all jwnet users.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL
i thought dogs slept through the night.
well, all the others i care for do!.

Have you ever seen Bizkit the sleepwalking dog. That poor guy runs and runs in his sleep I'm sure he doesn't get much rest.
hi grace,.
i'm sorry about your family not being around (seeloubelles christmas plann thread) so i thought we could give you hugs here!
not the same but..... a merry christmas to you!
May all the hugs in the galaxy be yours
so what are your plans for christmas.. this year i am not spending it with my entire family.
some of them are doing their own thing/have their own plans, which i don't mind as sometimes those paticular family members can be straining.. so it will be spent with my mum, brother, father, some family friends and a couple of "strays" (people that don't have family to spend christmas with so we invite them over).
there will be a light breakfast shared and gifts opened in the morning.. i'm cooking up a feast:.
Roast garlic and rosemary lamb sounds fabulous
Have a great christmas
hi guys,.
i was asked to give final prayer today after the field service meeting.
i asked for jah to bless and comfort the families of the newtown, ct massacre.
The reason the wtbs thinks its wrong is because they're preparing jw's to accept the slaughter of 7 billion humans with a happy smile. So now you start by viewing "worldly" people as expendable. It's a horrible transformation from a caring human to a cold unfeeling jw.
