It just occurred to me that this the sort of nit piking, tweaking that attorneys do. Also, I've written a few policy and procedure manuals for HR and we tend to go through the language in the same way.

it always made me think when i corinthians 11 was read at the memorial, when jesus said "as often as you keep doing this..." i would think"hmmm, once a year isn't really very often, the other churches are a lot more often than us.".
great to see that they fixed that to "keep doing this.
" wouldn't want any doubts, now, would we?.

this is a very lonely time of year for me i admit it.
i'm suppose to be going over my aunties house wednesday after work.
but going to christmas/holiday parties and get togethers, i still kinda feel out of place.. i really wish i grew up celebrating the holidays more.
Try to make this holiday season about who you are right now, not what you were in the past.

just wondering on whether jwn gets more newbies that the wts gets bapstisms?
are there any statistics?.
this site's newbies usually lurk for a month or two, with no interaction with us.
You're right cantleave. The nice thing is that most folks are on Facebook and there's a ton of ex's on there with links, and blogs and websites. Oh my.

"albert" was 55 years old, and the fifth-born of seven children.
i am the second oldest and babysat him often while he was growing up --- and while i was still at home.. yesterday, albert was out taking his usual morning stroll around his small town, when he collapsed on the sidewalk.
the doctors said it was a heart attack.
I am sorry for your loss. Strength and love to you.

had this conversion with my dad earlier today, hes an elder...both my parents were laid off during the recession, however, they saved and lived a decent life.
How lovely that you and your dad have such a good relationship. It's also nice that he feels comfortable enough to share his real feelings with you.
