why gary?
i don't know...that name just seems right.. i am not sure exactly what the rules will be...not too many.
i do know that i want a position that has some power.
I am not sure exactly what the rules will be...not too many.
I hope we have the ability to cast spells that involve healing, love, harmony, wisdom and creativity.
also it would be nice if we all believe that nothing is fixed or permanent change is always possible. and maybe some tolerance of those whos beliefs are different from our own...
candidlynuts....that's too funny...
this is by no means an original idea, but even if the jws have been right all along, i don't care.
if pleasing god means not knowing what to think or feel without checking with headquarters first, then i don't need him.
who would want to be caught up in an eternal nightmare where the entire population was a braindead mass of clean-cut yes men?
When my honey presents his version of Paradise, which seems to involve endless book studies sitting on my picnic blanket in a prim dress and heels, I give him a resounding No Thank You. For me, that would be an endless nightmare.
Were we supposed to keep studing even AFTER we made in to the pardise?.
i have tried to put on a brave face lately but i think i need to release some tears and emotion.
(ok, it's starting already... .
(i have made posts lately as formerout but i am now back on as outbutnotdown, as i had been for a year and a half earlier...password lost.
What a sad and sick women. I do belive that actions have consequences; so our lives are conditioned by our past actions she will have to live with what she has and contines to do. But then again what a b*tch!
so........Karma..baby....
Stay strong for your children. I wish you the best. Keep us posted...
i feel like screaming right about now...........the dickhead who takes our bookstudy group just came over and said "...i wonder how many brothers and sisters died in the tsunami disater.
" while that's a natural concern, his next comment blew me away "....it figures that the media hasn't bothered mentioning jehovah's witnesses helping out in this disaster!
" i looked at him stunned for a minute and said "and why on earth would they mention jehovah's witnesses?
My mother went to the Sales on Monday with a friend of her's. She told me that they were queueing in a shop
and her friend noticed all the people with bags and bags full of stuff, her friend made the comment that "it was such a contrast to see all these people with so much while those poor people in Asia now had nothing" and words to the effect that it was part of the sign of the end, the usual Witness bollocks.
So I simply asked my Mum how much he friend had donated to the appeals for these people in Asia.
She went quiet and then said that there would probably be a collection at the KH.
I told her that if her friend was as concerned for those 'poor people' as she claimed she would have given
something already rather than making pious declarations about how bad it was in the Time of the End.
Mutz,...... anyone....has the witnesses ever taken up a collection for a disaster? I had never seen or heard this before...just wondering???
i really don't mean to be a bummer on christmas, but i just needed to vent.
even if nobody responds i don't care i just needed to let it out.
if it was any day other than christmas i'd call up a friend to talk about it but i don't feel right calling anyone to pout on christmas.
your mom flipped you off.....hmmmm...well alrighty then....

i awoke this morning to the sound of creaking and breaking tree branches in my neighborhood, one after the other, due to the heavy accumulation of ice from last night's storm.. unfortunately, one of the trees in my backyard is a complete wreck, and it fell on my power lines, breaking them.
i drove around the neighborhood a bit and the tree carnage is like nothing i've ever seen.. also, in a span of 3 to 4 hours i saw probably 8 bright green flashes of power transformers popping.
i probably will not have power for at least 3 days, probably more.
ewww....it's everywhere,...
.
i have found some adorable santa images on the internet and i'd love it if everyone shared their favorite santas!
(please no naked santas!).
(please no naked Santas!)
dagnamit!
we are so busted.
i learned tonight, from my source, that someon saw our christmas tree and reported it to the elders.. rats, our days of anonymity are likely almost over.
starting tuesday, the local congregation has the circuit and the district overseer, before their ca next weekend.
Yes, we have Caller ID, but they can block their ID from showing up. My friend whose husband is an elder, has "Private" showing when she calls me. Lots of people here have that feature.
Then you have to do one feature better then that......
Some phone companies provide Anonymous Call Rejection. This programs the phone to reject calls from anyone who blocks their phone number -- sometimes called "Block the Blocker." Callers hear an announcement that the subscriber does not accept blocked calls.
Individuals can purchase devices in stores that do the same thing as Anonymous Call Rejection. Instead of allowing the phone to ring, the caller hears a recorded message stating that they must call again without blocking the number.
