  We got up fairly early - maybe 7:30 or so. Drank coffee on the front porch until 10. Made some breakfast, then went out to work in the garden. We spent all day out in the yard. Got my blackberry and raspberry bushes moved, got the dead cherry bushes pulled out. Dug up my rosemary, sage, and oregano and moved them into pots to be replanted on the other side of the house later. Started some more seeds. Planted the kale I bought yesterday since I couldn't find any seeds. Had a nice dinner of bratwurst, baked beans, and potato salad. So not a lazy day at all, but a pleasant, productive day.

  i just heard this within the last day.. i had no clue that the society had a travel agancy within its offices!.

  anyhoo, in the area i live they called numerous hotels for deals for the convention and the gm whom i know through friends told me that they play hardball in getting the maximum commission possible for refering people.

  he said the average is about 10 to 15 percent of the room cost.

  we had kh cleaning last weekend for the memorial and it felt just like old time and brought back soo many memories...i share my struggles, my joys ...everything with my bros and sis... they are my friends...i really truly do love them...how can i leave?

  that feeling just made me feel like abandoning all this reasarch and go on living blindly .

  I understand. There are several people at my former hall that I was very fond of and loved to spend time with. However, I can't pretend to believe something that I know to be false just to keep a friend. That's not real friendship anyway. For someone to be a real friend, there has to be honesty and respect going both ways.

  I know it's hard, I stayed in for several years just because I couldn't imagine giving up my friends. But in the end, when they began to see me as spiritually weak, they all pretty much dropped me even though I still attended meetings. It's pretty hard to put on a convincing act long term, and it's terrible for your mental health.

  A funny thing happened to me yesterday

  i needed to go under my dresser for a dropped item, and came across my scale.

  two things i really don't like are mirrors and scales, so i usually avoid them at all costs.

  i decided to step on it for a change.

  I can sympathize with the pregnancy induced nausea. The last time I was pregnant, I lost close to 60 pounds. granted, I was still plenty fat, but it was a miserable 9 months of nausea and indigestion.

  well it's that time of year again and the invitations to another pointless memorial aka reject jesus party is now in full swing.

  I wonder if anyone will dare approach our house to bring us an invitation. We got a card in the mail on Thursday inviting us to a congregation get together tomorrow - Just Ron called and declined.

  Everlasting life on a paradise earth? Unlikely!

  by yalbmert99 in

  2. beliefs

  the watchtower of january 1st, 2010 p. 22-23 pretends that "all who respond favorably to gods warning and bring their life into harmony with his righteous principles (meaning jehovah's witnesses) will be granted salvation and enjoy everlasting life on a paradise earth.".

  but is it true?.

  astrophysicists say that like other stars of its type, our sun will become a planet-engulfing red giant.

  I suppose that if there was a sentient being powerful enough to create the universe in the first place, relocating humans to a different planet would be easy.
