i guess no matter what country you live in, the costs of food and everything are going up.
it's certainly no different where mrs cedars and i live, and we're noticing a huge increase on our monthly spending for basic commodities - especially food and drink.. normally when we go shopping i tend to stock up on drinks - mostly beer, wine, and fizzy drinks like coke, fanta or sprite.
i tend to be quite picky with my fizzy drinks, and i can't really tolerate cheap "store brand" imitations.
We like Izzes. They don't have refined sugars added. They're 70% juice in sparkling water. We love 'em. And while fruit juice isn't that great for you, it's better than carbonated drinks.
Maybe add some fruit juice to your mineral water, see how it tastes?
an experience told at the october 2, 2010 annual meeting.. sarah: she was raised in the truth by her mom in california, but a turning point was when she was 11. she had planned on just swimming and taking it easy that summer, but her mother suggested that she should read one of the older publications, and she chose babylon the great has fallen.
after working through some heavy-duty prophecies, she recalled thinking, this really is the truth!
no one could make this up.
So, she based her entire life's course on the comprehension skills she had developed as an 11-year old.
Brilliant
so my boyfriend sometimes goes out on service on weekday mornings.
(he usually works evenings.
) he said that in three hours out there one day last week, not one person answered the door and the only person he saw was a door to door salesman.
Keeps the JW busier than ever believing they are saving the last few righteous ones in their territory.
terry was admitted to the hospital yesterday.
he has a severe case of cellulites which has affected his neck glands.
his face and neck are very swollen.
YAY !!!!!! You survived.
yet another video effort by the society to be apparently pulled off jw.org and given an audience on youtube.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbohitd8goi.
my observations.... despite obvious attempts to garner praise, the feedback robert gets from passersby is far from glowing.
at best, it can be described as neutral, with none of those chosen to comment seeming to know anything about jw beliefs.
poor poor Robert... he's been at Bethel a looonnnng time. Hopefully one day he stops marching to WT's drum.
Just like all of their other media, it is designed for the witnesses themselves. Thus the ever urgent reminder that this doesn't replace their door to door ministry.
Overall, very weird video. And pointless.
gosh... i cannot believe i have been disfellowshipped for over a year!
its so surreal.
because of my ingrained belief that the jw organisation is the one and only true religion, i often think about everything that has happened quite often.
Congratulations on taking control over your life, Timothy.
Here's to many many more JW-free years.
one of my strangest memories of going to the kh was when a young- maybe 18-20, pimply young man got up to talk about jhvhs view of masturbation during a service meeting.. of course, it was impossible to think about him not masturbating.
i was just hitting puberty and found the whole thing very uncomfortable- i think my dad was even critiquing him (what is that called when elder gives the feedback).
looking back now i can see that to publicly condemn masturbation, especially when a young man is delivering this admonition, is- well- hilarious.
00DAD too funny!

It sounds like you're on your way, Terry (even if slowly).
so much has happened the last few days in my world.
i am handling it all very well don't worry!.
my daughter left her mothers home, so very hard to do and she has been so very brave and strong.
I agree, have her take a cop along to get her things. And yep, she is lucky to have you there leading the way out of this cult.
have been in the austin area for a little over a week in the midst of trying to start over.
i was df'd recently after being in the truth my entire life.
everyone has abandoned me, and i am lost out here.
Hi there, Hargitay. I'm in the Midwest but just wanted to say, hang in there.
