"we have made it very clear that israel should be allowed to defend herself," bush said in washington.
"we've asked that as she does so that she be mindful of the saniora government.
it's very important that this government in lebanon succeed and survive.".
That's funny big. Some German (1st generations JWs) in Upstate NY always called Germany "The MOTHERland."
Speaking of Bush, I like the way his and Blair's conversation was unknowingly recorded today and re-broadcast around the world.
"Yo, Blair!!!" (yes, this was the actual greeting)
"Hezbollah needs to stop this shit."
among other goodies.
well, i been "living in sin" for about 5 days now and aside from an elder asking if i was gonna still do a talk i was scheduled for this past monday (i told him no of course.
he knows i moved out and only asked about my literature) i finally worked the nerve to download the application for this season's america's next top model.
i've been modeling for some time now and i figured what the hell...i have nothing to lose but $3.95 in postage.
hi there.
Make sure to make your appliation stand out. Talk about your recent escape from a mind-numbing cult, LOL.
Glad you are doing well after 5 days of sin.
what year was this bible translated?
it doesnt even say who translated it.
did this russel guy get bored and want to start his own religion or something.
stealth do you mean Firpo Carr?
I like to call it the "New World Transmutation" when talking to JW. The shock value is priceless!

Welcome to the rest of your life.
Do you need any practical advice on setting up 'shop'. so to speak, or transitioning?
Do you have a job skill that is allowing you to earn a paycheck at this time?

last week at the meeting, the po, who has very close connections to bethel, said that he never thought he would see the day that bethelites were being sent home.
he said that the biggest two reasons he thought bethel were cutting back, was automation and a massive decline in contributions.
looks like you're right metatron about the contribution aspect being their achilles heel.
Of course, as another poster alluded to, if they really thought Armageddon was any day now, they would sell off their property to care for those who have given so much in "Jehovah's Service."
To the extent you did this to the least of my brothers.....
so thing's are going well in dubland and the call comes down that my bookstudy is to be moved to a different congo.
instead of a 30 minute ride to the hall we will be forming a new congo and use the hall only five minutes from my home.. great because gas has just gone to $3.00 per gallon right?.
we meet the new po and he breaks the real news.
Must suck to be alone but I'd say being a Pharisee and super-fine Apostle really does have a down side.
too true.
U/B thanks for posting that revolting book. I used to sell a TON of them for $2.50!!!!
In all sincerity, when we were young people we would always go and visit the older ones. There was one young chick who always asked questions that were not her business....like the time she asked Ed Halstead what kind of operation he was having. (Ed was the UBM of an older sister, he hadda be like 75 and he was a hard working farmer, not the hospital type).
He told her he had something wrong with his penis. If I had a nut, I would have busted it laughing.

i have been successful at keeping my true feelings from my wife and others for more than 15 years.
i came to understand a long time ago that this was just the way things had to be.
but for the most part, i live my life the way i want to live it.
Some would say I act paranoid. But are you being paranoid when they really are out to get you?
what a lot of effort to be a normal human being...pox on WBTS
woke up this morning to find that someone had broken into my house while i slept.
all that is missing is my billfold (didn't have much money, but replacing the cards will stink) and my cell phone (with a couple hundred numbers).
i wonder why they didn't take my laptop and camera?
Woke up this morning to find that someone had broken into my house while I slept.
That happened to me 7 years ago, big difference I was not home and my neighbors sons literally took everything except for the sofa and beds which they must have been in too big of a hurry to get.....
I was pissed!!!!!
I went out the door with my baseball bat and went to their house "politely knocking" on the door. The man who is now my husband dragged me back by physically lifting me and carrying me home (think cave woman style) but not before I swung a couple o times. LOL.
I had insurance, but like you are finding it is just a DAMN BIG inconvenience!!!!!! Sorry about that.
OFG those dogs look ready to die for you.

a few points from the 2006 biannual c.o.
meeting w/elders & ms. the theme was "take a personal interest in others"...phil 2:4,5. shepherding work.
we have lives in our hands.
WTS is NOT involved when JWs go in service. That is why the WTS must immediately be involved if there is a auto collision... because they are NOT involved. In fact, that is how incredibly NOT involved they are! They are sssssssooooo NOT involved, they get involved first!
so nice......I love it.
I don't blame them about not wanting the brothers to be mistaken for 'other elements.'
I have heard a rumor that there is a new motorcycle gang, The Kleen Kut Krew. These boys are known for their conservative haircuts, lack of facial hair, and the tassel shoes, which combination quickly identify them as a member of The Krew. They can rip your town to shreds by appearing to be clean cut. Then when they dismount, they roll up their Brooks Brothers suit sleeves to reveal their tatts.
Almost immediately after the tattoo is exposed, they are known to utter such foul mouth language as "Millions now living will never die" and "The end is any day now."
Be careful that you do not let this crew invade your town. All heaven will break loose. Keep your women anc children safe.

Today is a good day for satire Class
i havent posted that much these past few months, i still read the topics daily, but i guess i dont have the desire for the daily chit chat like i used to.
i dont have regular computer access, just my webtv, so i still have to go to the mall to post whenever the urge hits.
i havent done any picketing in almost a year now, but i might do something special this weekend at the dayton ohio convention.
well thank you for saying so, because I wondered what happened but I couldn't remember your 'name.'
