i remember my parents getting bent out of shape when gas finally reached 11 cents a gallon.. 1971: my wife and i traveled to southern california to visit friends and family.

Why can't the US and other arctic countries develop the oil fields that lay untouched? Oh, that's right. The country is so pristine it's natural beauty might be destroyed. Who the Hell ever sees it???

Rembember the oil crises of the late seventies? Remember the interest and development of solar energy? Does the sun come up every day or what? It's almost impossible to find interest in solar energy these days. Oh, that's right! It will cost MONEY! Okay, stay status quo. Just stop whining about it!

Mispronunciations at the meetings

by TR in

moxy raised a point in the "exaggeration" thread that aggravated me at the meetings.

mispronunciations.

moxy mentioned the word 'hyperbole' as frequently being mispronounced.. another one that bugged me was 'epitome'.

I hate it when realtors say re-lator.

We had a brother give the whole Sunday morning talk saying viligent instead of vigilent in prayer. Hubby corrected him afterward. The brother was the Ministry School Overseer!

Pets

i have noticed in a few posts lately that there have been negative articles concerning being owned by pets.

the only bound volumes i have are 1991 through 1995 and the only things i can find in the index are a few snippets in watching the world except for an article in the 1/22/93 awake which was quite possitive.. the negatives that i read are that pets take time and money away from service to our dearly beloved printing society.

can anyone give me some quotes?

Thanks, Blondie. That was what I was looking for.

And Freddie you would be so much more fun to pet if you had fur on your head instead of those godawful horns.

Jesus Exaggerated a Lot (Hyperbole, Folks)

by metatron in

jw

next time you're at a kingdom hall, or during a watchtower study,.

or book study, make the following statement out loud:.

"jesus exaggerated a lot!".

kilroy

Does anyone remember years ago the Watchtower's elaborate explaination that "yes, a camel can be put through a needle's eye if it were broken down to basic cells, etc. blah blah"?

Geez! How dumb was I?

I just put my kitty down today - BW-A-A-A

there is this great big hole in my heart.

he started acting poorly last wed. he stopped eating friday and went downhill steadily.

i raced him to the vets.

kilroy

Oh, Trot, I am SO sorry!
I am sitting here bawling out loud with tears streaming.

I am remembering our little old 20 year old lady. Long blond hair. She collapsed at my feet one Friday night. I guess it was a stroke. She was already deaf and this blinded her.

Hubby still streams tears when he hears Neil Diamond's "Hello, My Friend." Thats what was on the radio the next night as she lay dying in his lap. She was gone by Sunday morning.

It took us 14 years to get another one. I have to stop now.

I don't know if it ever heals. She was sure one of a kind. They all are no matter what anyone says.

100 Good Samaritans needed

two of this board's, and h2o's before it,long time and well known participants have fallen on desperately hard times.

if they could set up pay pal accounts and enough of us could contribute say $20 - $50 per month it would help them though their hardship.. these two people have helped many escape from the wts and i know for sure have given money and other material help to those in need, even when they could not afford it.. if you can help, send an email to: [email protected].

you need not include any particulars of who you are etc, just an indication that you could support this and how much you could send.

kilroy

Okay, now I know how to send to Farkel, but how do I send to AlanF for Maximus? Is there an address. I don't know computer stuff so it will have to be snail mail.
