PC hardware is one of the easiest things for a basic A+ Technician to diagnose and fix plus cost of parts but software and OS problems is where they can milk you. If you have a business and a LAN then the cost just doubled for an enginner to come to just look at it for you. Thats just how the business is, yes that last guy was trying to cheat that customer but like other posters said the other places were just charging their flat rates or incompetent. Kind of like a doctor, I pay a $15 co-payment to go see him for 5 minutes and get a prescription. God knows how much my companies health unsurance is billed for 5 minutes. Or a plumber.....I once paid $75 for a guy to come and remove my toilet off the wax ring to take out a toy my daughter flushed and it took him all of 30 min. After watching him I could have easily done it myself but I figured I have the money so why bother. Either pay or learn to do the work yourself...

Comments You Will Not Hear at the 12-17-06 WT Study (Sacred Gatherings)
by blondie in: the special assembly day, the two-day circuit assembly, and the three- or four-day district convention.
q9) how can we show our respect for sacred gatherings by our dress and behavior?.
- how can children show that they respect the sacred nature of our meetings?.

What Did YOU Do At A Typical Witness "Get-Together"?
by minimus indid you sing kingdumb songs, take turns reading the bible, play bible games or did you have "fun"

Depends on the crowd at the particular gathering. If I am with other elders I spend my time trying to avoid them. If its with the few "friends" I have then we talk, drink, bash some of the elders, watch TV. Then there are the times when we get invited to "sister single pioneer in her 40's or 50's that moved to the cong. to help" and we spend time discussing how wonderful pioneering is and its so nice that she is here to help.. Then occasionally we get invited to "Sister elderlys" home and usually its ok, I feel bad for these lifers who gave up all for the org. so I am VERY nice to them and listen to every story the tell me.

I think the GOP will win again if the dems put in Hillary as the candidate. I am doubtful that a woman will be elected, not that I care either way but this country isnt that liberal yet. Personally I would like to see a minority or female Commander in Chief soon, we're overdue.

Why is it so many Men agree to take on the Position of an Elder?
by restrangled ini just wonder because with the stresses of earning a living, taking care of immediate family, and getting in little free time that is available, why would anyone want to take on this extra job at no charge, answer to more bosses, and be submited to endless critisizing behind your back for decisions.
it just seems crazy.. r..

It all kind of fell into my lap at age 25, far too young as was already mentioned. I was too brainwashed to say no. In all honesty I was doing fine as an MS and I wasnt even reaching out persay.... It was because I was pioneering at the time and the cong. had a need I guess. Now I want out so bad but I know it will knock down our social status in the cong and my wife cant bear to have that happen. So I stay for that reason. Pretty sad huh??

Elders and shepherding calls
by sspo infor all the years you were in the borg, i was wondering how many of you received a friendly shepherding call from the elders?
.
that was part of their responsibility as elders but in over 30 years i never received one and i found that was the case with many in the cong.. did you regularly receive a visit?

2 Elders Tell My Mom That She Should Take Me Off Her Health Care Assistance
by minimus inmy elderly mom had 2 visits from the elders.
she requested hospital liason help because she frequently has been having to go to the hospital, her blood count is low and doctors have told her that because she's a witness, there are certain procedures that make it difficult to attend to her without blood.
when the elders visited her , they recommended that because i "could" decide to give her blood, that i should not be the first person called with rights to give her life saving treatments.

Call those elders up and tell them that she isnt getting a blood transfusion but if she needs it, she may get 100% of the allowed fractions of blood....only all at the same time though. Since most fractions of components of blood are now allowed they can't argue with that logic can they??
(Acts 15:19-20) 19 Hence my decision is not to trouble those from the nations who are turning to God, 20 but to write them to abstain from things polluted by idols and from fornication and from what is strangled and from blood.
ab·stain
Pronunciation: &b-'stAn, ab-
Function: intransitive verb
Etymology: Middle English absteinen, from Anglo-French asteign-,absteign-, stem of astenir,abstenir, from Latin abstinEre, from abs-, ab- + tenEre to hold -- more at THIN
: to refrain deliberately and often with an effort of self-denial from an action or practice <abstain from drinking>
- ab·stain·ernounSo based on their own translation is taking components of something abstaining? Example: I am abstaining from sex but I will allow my wife/girlfriend to masturbate me or provide oral stimulation...

THE BACK PEDDLING HAS ALREADY BEGUN......
by Mary inas i mentioned before in another thread, my dub aunt, along with several other witnesses, told me that they were specifically told that the governing body let it be known that tract work would trigger the beginning of the end by infuriating the other religions and somehow causing the governments to "turn on babylon the great".
this was supposed to start before the end of this year.
one thing i mentioned is that they were smart enough this time, not to put anything down in writing, but simply let it get around by "word of mouth".
