from all the "annual general meeting" notes floating around, one quotation stands out in particular:.
many older ones already are telling the younger ones how they regretted not getting an education, pursuing a lucrative career, saving up money or not having a retirement plan.
the sad truth is that such ones are like the murmurers of israel when coming out of egypt.. what does this remark tell us?.
It's funny how it's okay for them to plan, but it's wrong for the rest of us to save up for a rainy day. I don't want to have to be cleaning houses in my 80's thank you very much.
I know an older sister who recently lost her husband. They took all his retirement to pioneer,and now she is worried she will lose the house they built.
What a "brazen" comment for them to make,is all I have to say.
okay, i wanted to know more about the jws, so i went to the website and filled in my name and other info.
i was finally contacted, set up an appointment and visited.
the first two people came and they were nice, but one of the fellows looked uptight and avoided eye contact.
Actually, it is the focus to get householders in the "Bible Teach" book,and that , is probably what they are trying to do. They want to start a regular study with you.
When three egocentric elders ganged up on a troubled teen,a close friend of mine, and decided in an instant I should shun her. They wanted to make an example out of her. She was just a messed up kid. I so get that looking back now. It's just so stupid. Two of those elders were removed. One got his position back. But, they are all still cocky jerks.
...lets just say the witnesses are correct in their assertion that the gb are not prophets and subsequently are not under deuteronomy's definition of a false prophet.. this begs a question for me.. when, in god's entire scheme throughout the bible, did he run things without a prophet?
when did he run things with leaders who didn't speak for him?.
-sab.
What disturbs me most,is that they expect blind obedience. They equate being obedient to the organization is the same as remaining faithful to God.
Despite the fact, they change their understanding of what is expected of us.
At the meeting Sunday, the point was to "just be obedient" even if, we don't fully understand why at the time.
That is disturbing on so many levels.
has anyone tried online dating?.
i travel constantly and feel like i'm only home on weekends....tough to meet anyone near me..... any success?
waste of time?.
Like everything it has its pros and cons. It does help you meet people you would normally never meet. I never really joined an on-line dating service,but I met someone on-line. I would have never met him otherwise.
But, it couldn't hurt to try,just make sure the first time you meet the person,you do it in a public place. And don't give out too much information at once, until you feel you can truly trust the other person.
My relationship didn't work out,and we recently broke up after a year and a half,but that doesn't mean you won't have success.
Mr. Flipper and his wife met on-line.
So, just consider it another way of meeting people,but don't give up on meeting people the old-fashioned way either,like across a crowded room. lol
Maybe they have been rejected and had their heart broken one too many times.
mouthy says hi.
she still cannot post.
she asked me to let everyone know that she is still here with us just that she cannot speak.. just letting you know what is going on with her and why she has not been posting.
The same thing happened to me a few months back. I couln't sign in at all. But,then, a friend told me to download firefox and try that,and it worked for me.
And sometimes, I can't sign on with my aol browser,but when I sign on to firefox it works. Just a thought, I'm certainly no expert on this.
today's been somewhat of a strange day for me, but what concerns me is that i can't provide an explanation why.
i awoke a couple minutes before my alarm clock went off, as i always do.
its rare that the alarm wakes me.
I'm going through something similiar right now. I think it might be a combination of realizing half my life is wasted waiting on the new system. And the anxiety of trying to play catch up and not knowing where to start.
I did have a bit of a panic attack Thursday and still feel shaky a bit inside. So you aren't alone.
Maybe after getting enough rest this weekend and a couple of strong drinks, you'll soon be feeling better.
okay, i'm trying to think of a relatively inexpensive weekend getaway.
i really need a vacation, it's been awhile.
i don't count the conventions,ugh.
Thanks for the ideas cameo. I did think of driving North to see the fall colors.

Okay, I'm trying to think of a relatively inexpensive weekend getaway. I really need a vacation, it's been awhile. I don't count the conventions,ugh. I could visit friends,but it turns into hanging out at their house and doing things I could do in my area anyway.
Plus, I don't have anyone to ask to go with me. It's hard when you're fading, and my closest friend is in the process of moving, so she's quite busy right now.
Any suggestions? In the U.S by the way.
