2000

what do you think was the single most high impact event of 2000?.

1 choice per person.. m2u

Both parties are crooked: No doubt about it. That's why Jebb Bush told his brother it was in the bag. That's why the Republicans didn't want a state wide recount, because of crookedness in north Florida. That's why the Democrats didn't want a recount in Dade County, because of their crookedness.
Government leaders have been thieves from time immemorial; we try to control it with three branches of government as a balance of power and a free press, but it's hard to keep those maniacs in check.

Now on to a more important subject, women golfers in skimpy outfits. This will probably never happenen, so I have to ask you a pregnant question. Who are your favorate female athletes? I like gymnasts. They are a little thin, but they sure are agile, and I think that's an important quality in a
woman if you get my drift. As far as body build, I am partial to female swimmers. I think they are fine.

Well, it was nice to share my private thoughts here with you with nobody else around. Please keep our conversation confidential.

Dear Yeldell2,

Zazu is my wife, and I thought you would like her. She and I were engaged to be married when my mother had her last bad episode. My wife loved my mother dearly. I say Loved because my mother his since died. I am 60 and my wife is 59.

Those symptoms you mentioned about all the sounds around you being amplified and confusing is typical of your condition. Hang in there sis, I have much hope that things will work out for you.

We think of MDS as haughty; he thinks of himself as self assured. I think that MDS is very intelligent and certainly knows the scriptures. However, his way of thinking is quite out of sink with ours. Even though I find his posts to be convoluted and tedious, I hold no bad feelings toward him.

MDS,

You may, in fact, that you have special insights that escape us. If you want to communicate to us in the future, I think it would be helpful if you would give a precise statement of your conclusions and only provide the proofs if someone asks for them. I know this is not your style, but you have to consider your audience when you write.

I also think the advice provided by Ianao is useful. Step back from it all for awhile clear your mind, then go back and read all your owns posts to see where you want to go next.

we people here in ohio have a certain panache.. the tornado in xenia, ohio this summer missed my daughter's house by a block and a half.

RHW - Where are you? Got a story that might get you to land here.

Last summer I tryed to get up on this horse, and although offical government policy is to say no to drugs, I was thrown and drug. My wife came over to try to help. She hadn't ridden in 5 years. She was drug free. You know, I think I would have been killed if the manager of K Mart hadn't come over and unplugged that thing.

This has turned into a North-South newletter. I was hoping to get news from other places. I know that the people on the East and West Coast think that people from the midwest and south are just a bunch of hay seeds, but I'll tell you what if you coastal folks get on our case, we'll be on you like a duck on a June Bug....ooops, I think I just used a hay seed phrase.

Waiting,

Well Ryan Brewer did it. He ran and caught passes for 214 yards, scored three touchdowns and was voted the games most valuable player.

I have a quote from yesterday's paper: "Brewer has been inundated with phone calls and e-mails wishing him luck. He said, 'I have a couple friends that are Ohio State fans, and they all called and said, heck with Ohio State, we're going with the Gamecocks for this one."
I just wanted to let you know that I was not the only Yankee that deserted the Northern cause that is Ohio State.

Earlier on, I posed some questions to MDS that prompted him to state his beliefs about himself. It is clear that he considers himself to be appointed by God to deliver a special message. We might consider him to be grandiose and mentally imbalanced but let me assure you that nothing we will say to him will change his mind.

Dear Yeldell2,

It is tragic to be hit with a physical problem and a mental problem at the same time. I hope you stay in close touch with your doctor regarding your mental symptoms. If they remain or increase at all, you might be well adviced to go back on medication. It is pretty well known today that these symptoms are a result of a chemical imbalance in the brain, and are not a sign of lack of faith. You might ask your doctor for pamphlets that explain your condition to give to others if they don't understand. My mother was manic depressive. Her first episode occured when I was ten, and she had severe reoccurances about every 5 years until she got on lithium when I was 25. After that she was symptom free. She was a very zealous Witness and so was never deemed spiritually weak. However, some in the congregation may do this and suggest that more meetings and more field service is the answer. It is NOT the answer. Do what you can comfortabley, but don't feel pressured to do more than you can handle; that will only make matters worse. Although medication may be necessary, your prayers to Jehovah are certainly valuable too.

I hope these words are of help to you.

All these long posts tire me out. I don't really care if I can't figure out the nature of God, and I don't think he cares that I don't care. I remember a wll known xjw, one who had written a book, got into a long discussion on the internet about the trinity. At the end of it he wrote, "While we spent considerable time on this, how many poor people did we help." I think that's a good perspective.

JW Dictionary

warning !.

the following "dictionary" may be very discomforting to true believers of jehovah's organization.

if you ask too many questions about these things you are told " jehovah will make it all clear in time.

Your fresh idea is also called "running ahead of the organization", which is not hard to do when they are moving at the speed of a glacier.
