'Worldly' is definitely up there as is 'organization'.
'Field service'
'Pioneer' (where DID they get that term? It has zip to do with the actual meaning of the word.
(and all the adj. given to Pioneers)

Gawd these bring back memories. Ven - I broke into tears laughing at the pecker incident. Thanks for that!
My stories are versions of what has already been shared except one. When someone mentioned cracking their head on the car getting in (or out) - ouch - memories! And the ice! The brothers had is so easy. Here the sisters were, in their 'dresses or skirts' and healed boots, sliding all over and landing... all over. Also had my share of dogs to deal with, mostly german sheperds. Sneaky creatures they are
While I lived in Val Cartier, service was in French, so we had to try, learn etc. (damn near became bi-lingual there) It was all great until one sister, new, and during one of her first tries in french at the door, told the lady in french, that she was a prostitute. (householder, in disgust, slammed the door and we lost it) We spent the rest of the day at the coffee shop.
s'all fer now.

I certainly don't want those being held captive to be hurt anymore than they have been but I think it's safe to say that the special force isn't going in for 'them'.
This is only a snippit of the war on terrorism. Had this happened before 9/11, there would be no special force sent in.
A very harsh reality. Abu Suyaff (sp) is wanted by the USA, and this is their chance to put some people in there. I'm not questioning their motives, only saying that those kidnapped are not the real reason for the deployment. If rescued, will they be thankful? Nah - Jehovah saved them. He only used the army. (rolls eyes)

Listening to Freedom
by Victor_E inis what i am saying being heard or are you wondering why i am speaking this way?
to hear me you need a silent mind.
if you are wondering why then you have not heard.. how can you bind a man or woman with less than a single strand of silk?

Mimilly
Ah yes, the negative side of imagination, and the danger of allowing someone else the keys to yours.
I love your posts Victor. Absolutely love them - keep them comin' !

HOW DID YOU COME INTO THE"TRUTH"???
by minimus inwere you raised as a jw, like me, or were you converted (at least i have an excuse)?

I was 17 years old with a brand new baby girl who had travelled to a brand new country 5000 miles away from my Mom that didn't speak English to be with new husband who was gone 3/4 of the first year due to military exercises. (wow! can we all say 'sitting duck' here?!)
Two sweet gals came knocking on my door and heck, I still remember her - Sabine - she eventually went to the Ivory Coast even though she only had one kidney. Anyway... due the the fact that I already disliked holidays due to my father, it intrigued me when they told me to get my own encyclopaedia and read up on it. I was amazed, really. I started to study.
I should've known something was wrong when I had my second child. Due to the doctor telling me I was having another C-section, I said "tie them while yer in there cos I'm not going through THIS again'. (c-section thing) The elders got quite upset and I was only approaching baptism, not having done the questions yet.
When they heard we had been posted back to Canada - they wanted to make sure I was baptized before I left Germany, just to make sure - and so I was, at a German assembly, with German questions (they asked the questions in English just for me) sigh. They also made sure someone was waiting for us at both stops on our way home - in Trenton, Ontario and in Oromocto, where the 'troof about the truth' would eventually sink in.
That congregation, in Lahr, looking back, was quite wonderful. We often went on picnics, which was great with the german countryside. I don't doubt things have changed there, as the Canadians no longer are there (on the base). But I often think of Sabine. She was one of those very soft personalities and she wasn't in good health. Last I heard she had left the Ivory Coast and was at Bethel.
Really, when one thinks about it - what BETTER way to spread 'the good news' than to get military folks involved. They're moving all over creation anyway.
My story - stickin to it, cos it's the truth
