We bought land!
by Aussie Oz inwe bought land!.
some of you might remember a delema i had a couple of months ago over buying a house... and gave lots of great advice.. well, we ended up buying a large block of land (modern developers would cram 8 houses on it) one hour outside the city in a really nice little town of only 250 people.
the block has an 1860 ruin on it that looks like an old school or church.

Bro. Farmer (a very nice and gentle guy. His wife rocked some matching hats with her suits)
Bro. George (single CO. Sisters lined up to get him to reconsider his single status)
Bro. Brayboi (sp?)
Bro. Hawkins (who died I believe either last year or 2 years ago. He was very outspoken and ruffled some of the friends feather with some of his comments and speeches. lol)

Translation: I am really celebrating my birthday by getting pissy drunk at da club. Just don't want to bring reproach on Jehovah by openly admitting it and getting reproved on it by a super dub. I am such a hypocrite!

For the JW converts- What drew you in?
by serenitynow! inwannabfree's thread about being ashamed of being suckered in to the big lie got me to thinking.
i wish my grandma was still alive so i could ask her what it was that attracted her to the jws.
she was raised methodist- our family still has a small church in her birthplace, got a degree back when it was rare for black people to do so.

I came in at a vulnerable time in my life. I just graduated from high school and didn't know what to do with myself. I was also dealing with depression and living a somewhat wild lifestyle. I needed some kind of direction. When the jw's came to my home, they were studying with my uncle. The teachings appealed to me, therefore, I entered into it.
Oh, if only there was such a thing as a time machine.......

Frugal Ideas for a Beautiful but Inexpensive Wedding!
by StAnn inas i've proclaimed so loudly, my oldest son is getting married next year.
we have a small budget (about $5k) and they want a wedding with three bridesmaids, three groomsmen, and a catered reception.
thus far, my son is going to load his ipod with music.

LOL @ St. Ann. I understand, but when money is tight, sometimes, ya do what ya gotta do.
However, it wasn't my wedding. lol. I had nothing to do with it. Perhaps you may inquire of the club about their catering service, if they have one, and how much it will cost.

I am not married (sniff) but my bro and sil married at a justice of peace and had a nice reception at hall at a local university. Friends brought food and the tables were decorated with modest things like candles, some lace fabrics and personal wrapped party favors. She had a good DJ and all went well. I believe it was under $1000 for the whole affair.

DVD "JW's Faith In Action, part 1 Out of Darkness" Omits! Omits! Omits!
by Wasanelder Once ini've been watching the new dvd and it is a bull fest about russell.
i haven't even gotten half way and they already excluded one very important bit of information.
you'll recall that russell "lost" his faith and "turning away from church creeds and searching for truth, russell examined some leading oriental religions, only to find these unsatisfying".

I forgot about it. I was invited to a friend's church on that day. I don't think my parents went either. They went to a cookout (thank God).
