sitting this evening with friends chilling out as you do, most of them anti-global capitalists and coca cola came up into the conversation.. you know, we couldn't come up with anything that essentially this giant corporation was doing or has done that might affect adversely other people elsewhere.
all they produce is one bloody great drink that everyone loves.. anyone else heard of or have something on this corporation?.
here's cheers to coke!!.
I need my Diet Coke! Coca-Cola absolutely rules!
(I will admit that Lemon Diet Coke is just a 'mix' for alcoholic drinks and is only drinkable by itself when one is desperate. Also - Cherry Coke was and is a joke/mistake.)
The original versions RULE ! If it ain't broke - don't fix it!

i just wanted to get a little dialog going with some of the members here who workout.
i know reborn works out quite a bit and i've been doing fairly well as of recently in getting back into a regular exercise regimine.
so far i've worked out everyday for the past 17 days, i usually try to do weight training at least 3-4 times a week and i usually do some cardio everyday.
Hmmm, growing up, I always ran: track n field; relay, then volleyball, softball and soccer. Nowadays I walk alot, do yoga and pilates, swim when I get the chance and weight train at home. I'm planning on taking up a little jogging soon.
Oh, I run for the bus and jump through gov't BS hoops too.

my sister just called me at work to let me know that her husband (until recently, unsympathetic to her doubts) is thoroughly confused and pissed off by the new 'worship' book!.
he has been comparing it with the 'united' book, has noted the obvious differences (3 missing chapters), and has begun examining it word for word...now he is raving looney about it.. to top it off, they were at bethel within the last few days, somehow ended up in brother larson's personal office, and were astonished to find a model spanish galleon replete with huge crosses, and a huge portrait of good ol' max towering over the watchtower itself.
she said her husband thought it looked like a propaganda poster for 'big brother'..... finally!
Well, gosh, it's about bloody time something 'within' the borg pissed it's own recruits off. This sounds huge. Talk about the missing link? Now we have the missing chapters. *Poof* The GB must be into that devil magic disappearing stuff that they warn everyone of. Oops, but of course, it's ok for THEM.
What a bizarre world the GB must live in eh? Do they consider ALL their slaves to be idiots and not notice the missing chapters? Ah, get out the back-hoes and let them dig their own graves.
We're trying to show people the error of the troof, but hey, if the GB is gonna start doin it - Praise Jah! LOL
All the villiage idiots are in Brooklyn; no bout a doubt it!

when i became associated with the jws in 1968, i was working at a machine manufacturing plant in california.
Amazing and Naebs - those were really touching accounts - really. I just stared at the screen for awhile after reading them, caught up in both of them.
I truly believe we learn lessons from every single person we cross paths with.
Amazing, I hope you don't see it as time wasted but lessons and perspective gained.
Naebs, how did you feel that day when that lady said that?
hugs to both of you - always enjoy your posts anyway

has anyone thought of putting leaflets on car windscreens at the district conventions that are coming up?.
all good jws should be at the convention - if they are using public/football ground car parks, then it will be easy to target their vehicles and put a leaflet on them.

first of all...hi mozzer!!!
please check your hotmail account for mushy love notes...there are pics in your work email once you get there monday!
second of all...just thought i'd tell everyone else we made it safely to latvia.
Andi, it is SO good to hear that you arrived in one piece and were welcomed with grace. Your descriptions are incredible and I can practically feel the joy popping through your post.
Please continue to keep us updated as possible, and send greetings to the Latvians from us.
hugs,

I've thought of things like that. There's one prob with it though - and that's that they would have some good dubs go out with a garbage bag and dispense of all our hard work so as to keep the other dubs inside in the dark.
I've thought of getting a permit to walk with (gawd I dunno the name of them) those large two-sided board signs that you wear. That way, there is NO way anyone can stop those who want to read the message from reading it. And if one were to do it in a fashionable way, so as to actually ATTRACT their attention and get the thought in their heads before they realize it, that would be even better. Maybe use a part of their message so they think we're 'them', until it's too late and they've read it ALL.
I've thought about getting some people together and using this method at the local Kingdom Halls, especially on busy streets, so it also attracts drivers-by, or by passing out leaflets, as you said, at a supermarket parking lot - to educate the masses and perchance a few dubs in the meantime.
teehee, my bad (or good) as the case may be.

i didn't know where else to post this or whether or not this had already been posted.
this was so outrageous, i couldn't pass it up.
wt aug 15 02, back of mag, article: "do you know why i'm returning your money?":.
Omg. These stories just kill me, and even while a die-hard dub, these stories irked me. They obviously forgot about the story of the good samaritan. Moral of the story - it isn't only God's supposedly chosen people who have consciences and morals.
i am a "newbie" that has been "lurking" and commenting on a couple of posts over the last six months.
i was somewhat intimidated by some of the comments on the board so i didn't feel comfortable in introducing myself.
since simon seems to be dealing with some of the more "aggressive" posters i felt the time had come to introduce myself.
Welcome to the board Patricia! Pull up some comfy pillows and spill your worries. Those who care will definitely be there for you. The rest - nevermind them.
I had a hard time with prayer after my separation from the borg. Try the books other posters suggested, and in doing so, you'll be able to separated actual prayer from the horrible experiences you went through. It WILL come back to you, when you are ready. I now pray from my heart, and pour out my heart, when my heart needs such - not just for the sake of setting a good example etc.
I'm looking forward to getting to know you. I'm in Canada too. Nova Scotia exactly. My email is open if you want to write.
Welcome,
Mimilly
