After a Hall is paid off, the Society then owns it! Pretty neat trick huh?

a while back three local halls (same building) donated their saved up money to a new hall being built in a nearby town.
appearently the new hall could not get a loan for the work.
well the other halls got together about 50k and gave it to the the new hall with the promise that they would be payed back as the donating hall needed to use the money within the next few months for repairs.

i can't stand unappreciative people.
when you do something thoughtful for a person and they either seldom acknowledge it or half heartedly say, "thanks".

i was reading the other day, that people have become less supportive of natural disaster relief, because they are happening to often.
think about it, since december of last year i think we must be nearing at least a half a million people dying in natural disasters.
we had the tsunami, the hurricanes, the mudslides in central america and now this earthquake in asia.
You ain't seen nothing yet if this so-called 'Bird Flu' hits. Major disaster!

whatever i drink from the fridge, i put it into the microwave for 10 seconds so that it won't be too cold to drink.. .
whenever i drink ice cold liquids, it irritates my tongue/mouth and often triggers a sore throat.
now you have additional proof that i'm weird .
I can type on the computor, drink a coke, watch TV and study my Watchtower all at the same time. Sometimes though, I forget what the Watchtower says.

when i left the witnesses, i picked up a bunch of christian books on what the bible says.
isn't it weird that you have to have so many books, just to tell you what another book is saying?
anyway, i went through this phase where i still wanted to argue scripture with people.
People have and continue to argue doctrine. And for thousands of years nothing changes. What is effective is your own experiences (your testimony) and who can argue with that? If it happened, it happened!
For me leaving the WT took a heavy load off and I'm better for it. Problems, oh yeah, still have them and I miss a few different individuals, but go back, never!
I personally read and believe the Bible, but most Witnesses could care less about your personal reasoningsand beliefs, until that is, 'their own ox gets gored'!

DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THE 'LUCKY FISHERMAN'?
HIS WIFE HAD 'WORMS'!
my wife and i went out for breakfast this morning, as we usually like to do.. however, today we were in the mood for ham with our breakfast, so we hit our "ham" breakfast restaurant.
we have different restaurants we frequent depending on what we feel in the mood for eating.
this little restaurant is in a small town next to ours, on a side street, and if you didn't live in this town, you probably would never find it.
When I used to go out in 'Service' I always looked for the restaurant with the slowest, worst service. Usually gobbled up at least an hour and a half. Who cared if the food was good or bad, as long as they were slow!

i really wish i would have transported the library of information i had, when i moved here.
but alas i didnt, even if i did, i'm sure i still would not be able to back as far as i'd like.
i wanted to know where i might be able to find literature ranging from the mid 1900's up to present day?
I HAVE QUITE A LOT OF OLDER PUBLICATIONS. SO, IF YOU NEED SOMETHING CHECK WITH ME BEFORE I SELL MOST OF THEM.

anyone have any suggestions on effective spanish language audio/video/web materials to deter a spanish-speaking christian lady from continuing her study with the jws?
the jws have been visiting her for 3 or 4 months, but the indoctrination has not yet kicked in, apparently.
according to my sources, she "loves jesus" but was hurt by some people in her local church.
