ok, not really, but i had to much to do on thursday to post.
so who are you picking?.
i am glad to see my 49ers back in contention, though i believe that seattle will give them a run for their money.. my superbowl picks?
Go Cowboys!!!!
*I was so sad yesterday. What an exciting last couple of minutes... and then to win in the last three seconds... and then... sadness, sadness...*
Yeah that was crazy!!! I couldn't believe that. They kept putting the camera on Barron too LOL. I kinda felt bad for him. He had like three holding calls last night!!! Washington fumbling the field goal snap reminded me of Romo from a couple years ago.

That Cowboys/Redskins game was a beauty. I feel cheated. That Dallas game was the only game I saw yesterday. I passed out for a good 6 hours or so after the meeting. That will not happen again! Especially since we've got the early meeting as of now. Come the beginning of the year, our meeting will be at 2pm, so I'll miss quite a few games. You can see Mike Shanahan's influence on the Redskins. I've never been a fan of Washington, but I'll be glad to see them competative again. Mike Vick looked good from what I saw on SportsCenter. I'm glad Wes Welker is back. I hated to see him go down last year. The Titans are gonna be a problem this year. If they carry over the momentum from last year after losing the first 6 straight, they're capable of being contenders.
at facebook, i just saw the photos of a jw wedding that took place today (9/11) i would not want to get married on 9/11.
your thoughts?.
Personally I don't see anything abnormal about it. I went out in field service today, and ran into a guy who's traveling to one of the Carolinas with his girlfriend. I saw people today walking their dogs, shopping, spending time with family. I don't believe life should stop on the anniversary of a tragedy. Especially a happy occasion like a wedding.
the title pretty much says it all.. it's true that there are many classics that simply can't be topped but it doesn't stop people from trying anyway.
and what do ya know; occasionally someone does succeed.
here i will post at least one notable example.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-o9gf_sofbm&p=301f39587863d18d&playnext=1&index=3.
One last one and then I've gotta crash.....this might be somewhat off topic as its a hip hop song that sampled a hippie song. The way the sample was flipped is serious business though.
The band was called Potter St. Cloud with the song Open Letter........

Here's the Clipse song that samples Open Letter, called Freedom..........I had this on constant replay last year.

Good thread. The Cramps had a song called The Most Exalted Potentate of Love. I couldn't find a studio version of it, and the live versions sucked on You-Tube. At any rate, Queens of the Stone Age covered it. Love this tune.

Another cover I like is Rage Against the Machine's version of The Ghost of Tom Joad originally by Springsteen. Here's Bruce's orginal...

And Rage's which I liked better......its somewhat monumental to me cuz during that time of my life I was going through some things.
jehovah could read the hearts of david and bath-sheba and see their genuine repentance.
taking.
such a factor into consideration, he judged them accordingly, in a merciful and loving manner.. .
I was discussing this briefly with Garyneal a week or so ago. Its always been said that the victors write history. If Joe Blow Israelite did what David did, they would have stoned him in front of everybody. David was like the Israelite version of O.J. minus the white Bronco. Granted one might say David suffered the rest of his life watching his family act like a soap opera from hell. His son trying to kill him, his lovechild dying, his right hand man betraying him, etc.. That had to have been stressful for him. At the same time though, gangsters and powerful wicked men throughout history have went through similar situations, and there are no holy books labeling them as being righteous. Thats what leaves me bewildered to some degree.
jw serving elders ... did any of you have to handle the part at the sm this week on why jehovah's witnesses are not a false prophet?.
this part made me livid.
our most corporate elder handled this part and i felt my self wanting to refute everything he said.
Going back to that part being kind of strange for a Service Meeting part, let me ask you fellas a question. Have you ever been hit with a question like that in field service? I can't recall ever being hit with something like that. I mean I've been hit with doctrinal questions that hit grey areas. I've heard cult accusations. Been threatened. But never, has anybody raised an issue about JWs being false prophets. Its quite strange now that I'm at home and thinking about it all. What generated this part?
just a quick poll if you will.... i personally hate to cook.
it's not that i'm particularly bad at it, i just don't have a whole lot of patience or motivation to do it.
i suppose it has something to do with my having to live alone?
I like to cook at times. I was gonna bake cookies tonight after IsaacAustin got me that old recipe from the Awake. I'm just kinda tired. I like cooking and baking, but I'd much rather find a wife who'll do it for me.
i'm thinking of sweetbabycheezits and his wife right now...started wondering about not only their situation but also related situations.
then i started thinking about our esteemed elders on this board.. you gotta wonder, at these jcs for "apostasy," if any of the elders that sit in judgement have concerns/questions about the borg of their own.
did any of our current or former elders on here ever have some uncomfortable situations on jcs where you were dfing someone for "apostasy" yet you knew the brother or sister was actually 100% correct?
Thank Jah, no i have not ever had to sit on a judicial case based on the A... now...knowing what I know... I would recuse myself on some made up grounds.. I couldn't sit on it under any circumstances
Me neither. I wouldn't do it. My conscience would get the best of me on that. I still struggle with a measure of guilt every time I click the submit tab on this forum. To sit in on an apostacy case with the potential to ruin someone's life, knowing what I know, and posting on here...........I'd rather die. I just couldn't live with myself after doing something like that. I mean that, I'd rather die. Another thread dealt with a similar theme along the lines of being a company man yet being an undercover apostate too. Several including myself mentioned that there's limits to the amount of hypocrisy you can openly display in the name of spiritual subterfuge, for lack of a better term. We've got families we're trying to salvage too. Some of us agree with many things in WT land. At the same time, there's limits to what we'll support, and if push came to shove on a judicial case of apostacy, I'd personally have to excuse myself. I just couldn't do that. I'd have the self esteem of Judas Iscariot if I took part in something like that.
