  well, if there is a God, maybe He's getting His own private show now.

  Sometimes i thought he went too far, but he always made me laugh and think. God bless- or not

  If there is a heaven - he's up there raising hell.

  What do you know about 'CHEMTRAILS'?

  by Gill in

  what do you know about chemtrails?.

  i understand these are toxic chemical trails left by aeroplanes that are sent up by the governments and not the same as the water vapour contrails.

  some believe that in the long run our governments may be intent on ridding the earth of the majority of us by using poison gases or infectious diseases and are getting used to leaving these unusual trails inthe sky.......but i've wondered what they are for a long time and the uk govt has already admitted dropping pesticides on at least one part of the uk as an experiment on the people.. i have googled and u tubed a bit on this concerning information but want to know if there is something to worry about or not?.

  Uncaring Attitude of the Society

  i just read the account of a an elderly lady who passed out in a distict convention in canada today (06/20/08).

  it seems that as some of the attendees were trying to help by doing cpr, the "brother" on the platform a few feet away speaking did not even pause.

  when his talk ended a few minutes later and the lady was still being tended too, the platform folks just announced the next speaker as if nothing was happening.

  I'm not exactly sure about he laws on this one, except that if you disrupt any function you can be ushered out. It is a public place but so are restaurants and they usually have a sign that says they can refuse the serve anyone- they don't have to have a reason. Once you get cross ways the locals it can be really hard to get into an assembly or local convention. I recall as a young person seeing an apostate physically picked up by some big guys and literally thrown out the door. They live for this stuff.

  I would say try going somewhere you are not known and maybe pretend to be a local news channel. I don't care enough to do any of this but if you are intent on it you might check with some of the older "apostates" . There body of work in this is unparalleled. I also recall , i believe it was randy Walters who flew over a DC. lol wish i had been there.

  They are so paranoid.

  I know there are some really strange relationships in the org. They used to encourage women to put up with anything and everything. They would tell them , how will you take care of yourself? ie, better to be abused but not homeless. This is one area where our entire society has let women down. thank goodness it is easier to get help now. Many times people do stay in dysfunctional relationships due to not having skills to survive.

  George from Seinfeld used to say that he "was a product of his parents staying together". sad but true.

  My thoughts exactly as the prior post. Did this sister not have one jws friend or elder who cared anything about this loyal man? My mom was a loyal jws but even she said, , they don't care about their elderly or disabled & .they will leave them to rot and go off to find more "sheep":. Doing the Lords work you know.

  a Christan's duty is to help the sick , poor, elderly. widowed, and orphaned children.

  Dinner guest- When you bring wine shouldn't they offer you some?

  by Witness 007 in

  i've gone to many a witness dinner where i would bring one or two nice wines, hoping we would have some with dinner.

  {to numb the boring conversations} only, to find the couple say "thanks" put it in the cabnet....and serve up lemonade..... and it's not an alcohol thing....two different brothers brought out there own "home made" vino instead, which taste like a mixture of fruit punch and vineger!

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dinner_Party_(Seinfeld_episode)

  was an entire episode about bringing wine and cake to a dinner party.

  I am sure customs vary but here it is considered polite to bring wine or cake. I have usually served the wine that was brought. I have been a quest and brought wine and had the householder ( ugh they ruined that word for everyone) look at me like i had two heads. I guess they did not get the memo .

  Wednesday,

  :What about the title?

  I'm not very good at that stuff. How about "Buy this Book so I can make a WHOLE BIG BUNCH OF MONEY!"

  That isn't very good, is it?

  I'd try doing a search on that, I think someone may have tried that already. lol

  have you ever listened to the guy who does logically critical? I love his style. If you look at the title to his episodes , you might find a tip for a title.

  I so agree with what Lee said. There is an entire group of disgruntled people waiting for you. Money can really come in handy.

  What about the title?
