  i freely admit that the above sounds too good to be true (no side effects??

  ) but it makes for interesting reading.. metatron.

  my wife passed away 2 years ago we had been married over 30 years, i have since remarried and my new wife is younger than 3 of my children from my first marriage.

  i just wondering if there are any more like me out there.

  i stay in excellent shape for my age, work out almost daily eat good and have absolutely no medical problems or at least none i can do anything about, bad knees, but my vitals are excellent, and i am known as the teenage because of them when i have my yearly medical checkup.. so was wondering if there are others out there like me, and what some may think about it, just for the record i am extremely happy once again, and we have a 18 month boy who delights me, have a whole new outlook on fatherhood and child raising.

  I was shocked recently when I went to a congregation BarBQue, and noticed this odd couple. A older women in her 7o's, married a young pioneer in his 20's. She was a widow, and developed an interest in this young man who was her tenant. I guess being free from paying rent has it's advantages. But something was missing. there was no romance, no holding hands, no laughter, no honeymoon. Maybe, that would have made the guests sick. She was inactive and he was a regular pioneer. Do you think that their are some hidden agendas in this one?

  brother of the hawk, newly enlightened & gojira, recorded an elder's meeting on 5/7/03.

  both does a great job of defending me and making the elders look foolish!.

  A very good video, but once the Elders find out, it may get censored. I appreciated the counter arguments from the brother and sister.

  This shows just how judgmental the cong can be. The elders, although sincere, needed this humbling experience of talking to someone that were intelligent. I did appreciate the comment of one Elder who stated that some new matters were brought to his attention that he didn't think of before. He was showing concern for the family at the end. It was a good Awake magazine that was the Ace that the couple had up their sleeve.

  Thanks for posting this

  Going to the territory you live in - in your area?

  A KM did address this matter. It stated that each individual must decide based on circumstances, which congregation to attend. But, if there are no good circumstances, then they will emphasize that you go to the one you are assigned to. Some congregations in Canada are so packed that they give you the option to go to another one. I don't exactly remember where that KM is.

  Servants who don't go to where they are assigned, will be dealt with, and you may not receive any privilledges, if you attend an unaasigned cong.

  Now this really must be the end. Fearful things in the sky. Senior Citizens flying with their new cadillacs just above you. Maybe living in a basement appartment isn't so bad after all.

  I slightly remember the 2009 Drama on the Prodical Son. Wasn't the father in the drama so cold in comparison to the kind father in Jesus's illustration?

  Thanks for the update.

  I can just imagine how the DVD will reinforce the rigid rule of treating family members who have DA, or DF in a cold manner. At the end of it will be a singalong. "Listen and Obey", but this time adults will sing it, along with Caleb's parents.

  Well, we have a problem already.

  The heart scanner is a downloaded app for an Iphone. You have to download it for $2.99.

  But, the problem is that you can't use your Iphone out in the ministry.
