had a patient that was a study... need i say more.
Kingdom melodies SUCK. Always have and always will. And now with the hypocritical goofy choir music, it's just kicked the suckage up to "11".
My mother will walk around with an ipod listening to the choir songs and singing along to it. The result is that you begin to envy Helen Keller.

That was gold, Ray. Gold!
I always found it hilarious when some new guy qualifies for microphone duty and on his first night he gets all washed up and spiffy looking. wears his finest suit and spends 30 minutes polishing his shoes. You'd think he's giving his first public talk. His face is beaming and he rushes all importantly up and down the aisle, making sure the microphone is delivered speedily and efficiently.
Well, by the 3rd or 4th time he does it, he realizes it's one of the lamest jobs you could do. And by the 5th or 6th time he's assigned to do it, he's already trying to get out of this "privilege". When you're Reaching Out TM you are on theocratic fire and nothing's gonna break-a your stride, but after a man gets appointed, you can watch his spirit crumble. Next thing you know, you've crawled inside a scotch bottle while listening to Tom Waits in the dark. Brutal.

wobble -
they only gave me the job of scheduling attendants for the meetings, and as I was "in charge" of this, I got to walk about , and stand at the back for f**k**g YEARS ! And I was in charge of opening the windows ! What POWER !
I'm curious. Did you print out the Society's directions on KH window procedure, hold 18,000 meetings about this with all the attendants and then apply certain scriptures to back up your window-related counsel? Because that's what they would do in my Hall.

FollowedMyHeart -
It would hardly be noticed as a problem.
I have a suspicion that the more incompetant I became the more they would probably praise me. "Ohhh, look how hard Bro. Falcon is struggling! What an example he's setting!" Idiots.
Cheez - what slappin', homey?!
My elders hand stuff off to me like it's a privilege but then I find out later that I was like the 3rd person they asked.
there was one elder who had the balls to ask me via phone call if my wife and I had committed any "inappropriate acts" in the bedroom. If you have such an elder and you know this elder will be involved in cleaning the hall on a particular weekend, I recommend taking a giant dump in urinal and leaving it for him to resolve.
I'll leave him the "upper decker". I shant describe it with ladies present. My wife and I have committed inappropriate acts in the bedroom. She once made our bed with a sheet set that didn't match the color of our curtains. This was wildly inappropriate.
Okay, so I have 3 votes for Mr. Falcon's sexiness. Oddly, all three votes were from men.

SixofNine - good point. The fact that most minsterial tasks can easily be completed by a blind and armless chimp will make my strategy difficult to execute. I like the razor idea. It will appear as though O.J. Simpson gave me a shave.
Falcon, you sexy beast
For this you are being awarded a million hit points and maximum charisma.
Mad Sweeney - you're right about the leech part. Also, your other ideas have filled me with inspiration. I will implement these at my earliest convience.
Star tiger - yeah, but Rand could've made it a tad shorter. Just a tad. The copy I read was like 1,089 pages.
P.S. your screenname kicks ass all over the place.
the may 2011 km has an article on page 2 entitled, "could you share in the ministry on sundays?
1. it was the sabbath, a day when most jews in philippi rested.
paul and his companions were visiting the city during one of their missionary tours.
i couldn't tell you that last time that I went out in Sunday service. And I checked my crystal ball* and I don't see myself going out any future Sundays, either.
*actually a bottle of Thunderbird that I stare into.

Mr. Falcon, you are some sort of crackhead.
please be more specific. Am I your average back-alley dumpster variety or am I the country-bumpkin meth-lab sort?
AnneB (who is truly awesome...see above)
your awesomeness knows no bounds.

Terry - I understood the message of the book, and I actually believe that Rand makes some valid points. One point I really dug was that if don't reward a creative person and just expect him to serve us with is ablity/talent/etc., he/she will fail to have any motivation/reason to create. (that's a lot of slashes I used.) I thought that was an incredible point she made.
I guess I just didn't quite like how Rand seemed to dumb down anyone who was not some gifted genius and refer to them as "looters." At least to me, the book had a bit of an arrogant tone. As if a person without super-genious ability just is a moocher. Can't stand Rand personally. But damn, that woman could WRITE! Damn good book, sir.
don't get all excited...i don't mean lastnight.
spankings were a regular occurence in my family, and don't think that was uncommon for born-in jws.
my parents loved the line "we spank you because we love you.
Were you able to create a happy face that would appease them? Or did you just start desperately trying to enjoy the services?
nah, couldn't do. Just got beat harder. Pop was gunning for elder and his son's discontent was obviously hurting his campaigning.

I got the shat beat out of me for any infraction during the meeting. Got my ass handed to me even for sitting there during the talk and looking unhappy. Yup.
