  What is WRONG with people? (Looters, shooters, et al)

  by AlmostAtheist in

  i'm sitting here in awe, just having read that evacuation helicopters are reporting being shot at in louisiana.

  shot at.. looters are seeing an opportunity to take goods that will probably be destroyed or paid for by insurance anyway.

  it's dirty and nasty and wrong, but i can live with it.

  I'm sure their "prayerful consideration" didn't come from watching your appearance on TV. Hmmm, I think the "holy spirit" was watching MATLOCK that night.

  as numbers and meeting attendance statistics continue to decrease in western lands, do you think the wtbs may someday relax it's current clothing and grooming policies to facilitate better attendance and make the meetings more comfortable?

  please share your opinions of why/why not.

  I don't think they aren't allowed, I wouldn't really know for sure. But I do understand why Preston might not be accepted wearing them... hehe, I was only teasing him.

  he he.... I got the joke. Actually spaghetti straps were in my congregation spoken of in the same tone as sacrificing to idols.. they were that verbotten. I didnt see what they big deal was, I thought they looked very stylish.. darnit, I was envious! - Preston

  My Dad Isn't There Anymore

  it really struck me last night that my dad is pretty much gone.

  he has advanced alzheimers, and is slowly dying of kidney failure from 40 years of diabetes.

  the family stepped in and said no to dialysis, because it would be 5 hours per day 3 days per week - minimum, for limited return on quality of life.

  I'm sorry Brenda,

  I am glad that your family has showed foresight in this matter. I hope he's not under a lot of pain.

  they'll be having dinner with us tonight.. in a couple of hours' time... and i know their computer access has been almost non-existant over the last several days.... so how about sending them a virtual hug and a big hello, which i will print out for them before they set out on their journey again!.

  I'd put a sheet over my head, impersonate the holy spirit, and make them take my orders......

  What.......think it'll work?
