  A question for my friends in the USA about cowboys.

  by punkofnice in

  as a kid growing up in the uk we used to play 'cowboys and indians' and watch high chaparal and bonanza along with other cowboy films.

  later, in the 70's kung fu would be shown with caine going through the 'old west'.

  we even had a chocolate bar that was marketed with a 'cowboy' theme...milky bar.. as far as i know the 'wild west' as shown on tvdidn't actually exist.. are there people that believe it did?.

  The hardest part about explaining how we come to 1914 is explaining why jehovahs witnesses use 607bce as the destruction of jerusalem when everybody else says it happened in 587

  You didn't kill him. He had a chemical inbalance in his brain whereby he couldn't handle critisism the same way as a normally functioning brain.

  Perhaps, but I don't buy into that theory 100%.

  it's all a big show. His parents wanted him to be their status symbol and they shamed him into a place where his only viable option was suicide.

  Shame on the parents and shame on the watchtower for treating people worse than animals.

  metropolitan witnessing is standing beside a cart only for the very elite and public witnessing is standing beside a cart for the average publisher.

  correct me if i'm wrong.

  so lately my wife and i have been arguing alot.

  not big arguments...but more of a bickering.. you see, over the last year i have stepped down as an ms and we moved halls.

  last november was around the time i woke.. during this time we still have family studies....but only from the bible.

  It's all about status. the wife of a good friend of mine was blaming him for her not being happy. It was his fault she wasn't happy because he wasn't an elder or ministerial servant. her dad, brother and brother in law were all elders but her husband wasn't so it made her unhappy. So he left her and told her to find an elder in the congregation to marry her and make her happy.

  Does money buy happiness and a longer life? You decide...

  i poured over time magazine's sep 8-15 2014 edition article "who we are" and put together this spreadsheet on the results from their poll.

  i found the statistics quite fascinating.. most people would say that "money doesn't buy happiness", but this poll seems to me to indicate the exact opposite of that.

  it also correlates education levels with higher earning that result in that happiness.

  I liked the book the millionaire next door. I know a lot of people who live like this, people who have a high net worth but live a modest lifestyle.

  I'm of the opinion that once you have your first million anything after that doesn't matter.

  If you are at a place in life where you can choose what you will work at, own your house outright, have a reliable vehicle, can afford good food, health care what does the rest matter. Life is good
