It looks like a fun day! A suggestion re. picture #1, teach him to watch how he places his left hand--the thumb is close to the slide--a little closer, and it would really hurt (no need to ask how I learned THAT lesson, which I will never forget!).

If you are an ordained minister or counselor you need to have a liability insurance
My question is, how much training, experience, etc. must they have before the insurance company would issue the policy? Insurance companies have high standards for professional liability policies they issue for doctors, lawyers, architects, civil engineers, and so forth. They wouldn't insure a barber who wasn't properly trained and licensed. I doubt that ministers are an exception to that practice.
With the WTBTS having no formal seminaries and limited training for elders, I would be surprised if insurance companies would accept the average elder as a client.

I need some moral advice?
by trex2strike inokay, i like to hang out with these twelve other guys a lot, but recently one of them---i call him josh--(to help protect his identity) as started being a bit of a jerk.
he just decided that he was the leader of the group, and i'm not 100% comfortable with that.
and he expects us to treat him like he was god or something.

I walked into Starbucks yesterday
by crmsicl inyeah, without thinking, it was pouring rain and i had a mani/pedi appointment a few doors down.
i was going to go through the drive through but i thought it would be faster if i went inside.
wrong choice.

Of course, Witnesses aren't branded so how would I know.
Who else shows up at the coffee shop in a large group, all (including children) wearing their suits and ties or "meeting dresses", on Saturday morning? If they're too young or too old to be the high school debate team, it's the witnesses.

We can only hope that, on his death bed, he finally realized the error of his ways and repented for what he has said and done. As for protesting his funeral, Phelps had his 15 minutes of fame, why should anyone give him more?

Congratulations to your son, he has done very well. He certainly set some ambitious goals, and has realized them! Be optimistic, the best schools will try to make the finances work for the students they accept.

I'll keep going to the only coffee shop, post office, and hardware store in this little town on Saturday morning. If I see them, I'll say hello, and if they want to reply and chat, that's fine. If they don't, that's fine too. My life is not under their control.

C. T. Russell: facial hair, celebrated Christmas, did not go door-to-door, "unscriptural" divorce from Maria: brazen conduct, indeed!

Sledgehammer subtlety: The insidious reworking of Micah 6:8
by rory-ks inmicah 6:8 might be - or have been - a favourite verse of many.
the verse used to read:.
"he has told you, o earthling man, what is good.

Another word that doesn't fit the context is "loyalty." Chapter 6 addresses dishonesty and cheating, it is not a call for loyalty to the leaders (leaders whose corruption was condemned in Micah 3). From the NABR translation:
"You have been told, O mortal, what is good,
and what the L ORD requires of you:
Only to do justice and to love goodness,
and to walk humbly with your God.
Only to do justice and to love goodness,
and to walk humbly with your God.
The LORD cries aloud to the city
(It is prudent to fear your name!):
Hear, O tribe and city assembly,
Am I to bear criminal hoarding
and the accursed short ephah?*
Shall I acquit crooked scales,
bags of false weights?
You whose wealthy are full of violence,
whose inhabitants speak falsehood
with deceitful tongues in their mouths!
I have begun to strike you
with devastation because of your sins."
