Hi folks. This is the first time I have celebrated Easter since I was a tot. I have some vague memories of getting an Easter basket way back then. I loved it from what I recall.
Yesterday we went and bought the ingredients for Easter baskets for my wife's grand daughter and for my newpews and niece.
Please excuse the crappy shrink wrapping, but hey, it's my first time in 35 years...
Chris-
i can rememebr many such silences growing up in the wt.
one that comes to mind was back in the mid 80's.
i was a young twenty something fellow and had gone to the dc in fresno, ca with my parents and my brother.
My dad always used profanity, even when he became a witness (he used to be a sailor). He never cursed in front of other witnesses, but he did at home all the time. Especially when he was talking about brother so and so he didn't like. One time when I was about 6 years old there was this brother my dad didn't like named brother Colhorn. My dad's pet name for this brother was "brother Cornhole". LOL. Anyway, one saturday we ended up in the same car group as brother Colhorn. Well, I got mixed up when it was time for me to say a greeting to this guy. I said "Good morning brother Cornhole!"...I'm pretty sure everyone in the car group knew what the word 'cornhole' meant. My dad's face turned red and he quickly corrected me saying "It's brother Colhorn Chris"...After that there was an awkward silence. Nobody said anything else until they had to decide who was going to the next door. I think they all just chalked it up to me just mixing his name up by accident. I wonder what ever became of ole' brother Cornhole anyway?
Chris-
hey, i left when i was 19 about 21 years ago over evolution.
dad encouraged me to look up the references in _life: how did it get here?
by creation or evolution?_.
Jesus is busy with his facebook freinds...
Chris-
ok, so the mega millions jackpot is at half a billion dollars.
if you won and decided to take it in a lump sum, you automatically lose 40%, then there's state and federal taxes, so you'd actually get a 'meazly' $240,000,000.. what would you do if you won that kind of money?
other than donate a chunk to the world-wide-wit-lessing-work..........
One thing I might try if I had that kind of loot would be to offer to buy my parents a new home, car, and give them a generous living allowence if they both turn in letters of disassociation...Money talks. Another thing I thought about would be to try and buy as many parcels of land situated next door to kingdom halls and open a chain of strip joints.
i did!
most jws that i know of love to drink.. interestingly, i noticed the heaviest drinkers were bethelites..
One day I was over at an elder's house and we were having lunch. He had some elder freinds over and they were drinking whiskey early in the day. I was his employee at the time. I worked in the basement of the building he owned repairing vacuum cleaners for him. I took out some trash and found an empty case of beer with a receipt dated for that day. Later I went upstairs to his kitchen (he ran a buisness and lived in the same building) to get a soft drink from the refridgerator. There was no beer in there. I think they drank an entire case of beer during my work day. I thought it was strange for them to be heavy drinkers since he was an elder. He also used to play video games on his computer that were full of magic and witchcraft. I remember him being the one to give a talk at the hall about how bad video games like that were. He is a hypocrite to be sure...

i have not put either of these on my apartment door, yet (amazingly, no jw's knocks here), but thought i'd share these signs i made.
sorry they're fussy, didn't want to upload huge images.. .

Here's one I made a while back.
this is a song thread that will take a little thought.
i'd like for you to share songs that sound atmospheric and conjure up feelings of night air or a smokey room, the energy of the ocean's roar or capture the joy of a party or celebration.
the songs can be transportive and take you other places by their sound and the visuals they evoke from the stories they tell.. my first one is from tim mcgraw.
Truly majestic...Total eargasm-
