  Hurricane Irene and a KH build

  by PaintedToeNail in

  1. social

  the northeastern usa is under hurricane warnings, evacuation notices, people are being told to have emergency supplies and that the east coast will have possibly 10 million or more without power...and yet they are still planning on doing a hall build in our area.

  we are listed in the 'to be hit by irene area'.

  does anyone else think this is a ridiculously foolish thing to do?

  The fact that these brothers will be able to escape being labeled "irregular" without actually doing any preaching at all is a loving provision from the governing body...

  Wow. That Privilege™ of being able to count time without actually going Door-to-Door™ used to only be reserved for Circuit and District Overseers™, Elders™, Regular and Special Pioneers™ working at conventions or on construction sites. I used to get so annoyed when they asked me to spend a morning making sandwiches, snacks and baked goods (paying for it out of my own pocket, too) and then delivering the food to the construction site plus serving it and cleaning up afterward, and then find out that some of the Brothers™ were allowed to count their construction related time, but I was not. Assholes.

  Nickolas:

  I've recently finished reading "The Selfish Gene". The book is 35 years old already but it blew me away. Insights into how evolution works I never had before. I am now into "The Greatest Show on Earth - The Evidence for Evolution" and it is even more mind expanding. The more and more you learn about evolution through natural selection the more you come to realise sentiments like the one expressed on your modified Awake! cover are right on target.

  I've got a few of Dawkins' books in their audiobook format, including The Selfish Gene, The God Delusion and The Greatest Show on Earth. I find them even better that way, with Dawkins' himself narrating, along with his wife, Lalla Ward, rounding it out for many quotations. Their enthusiasm and love of teaching/explaining evolution is made clear in the narrations - Dawkins is instrumental in unlocking so many of the thought-stopping creationist babble that I was surprised still existed in my mind. Currently in the midst of Unweaving the Rainbow on my e-reader, and loving every bit of it, but will definitely be getting it in audio format when it's available.

  His history in Salt Lake City, UT and the navy would suggest that he was more likely to be Mormon than JW.

  I bunnies!

  In French, dandelions are called "pisenlit" (piss-in-bed) because they are mild diuretics and they can, if eaten, make you have to get up in the middle of the night to go pee.

  it has been over a month and a half since i have even been on the board, and that really only to ask about gps units (got a tom-tom) and mention the new job.

  way too busy with life - post jw now 4 years.. of course, the new job has benefits, health insurance, etc.

  (including unlimited use of the company car for personal use and the company pays for the unlimited gas for about a $25/week out of my check -- huge benefit) and this has enabled toni and i to finally after a two year engagement, to get married.
