  I love Da Jesus Book... Esther 9:1-19.

  Da Jews Win

  91On March 7, da day da guys dat hate da Jews wen do wat da king's firs rule say. An dey tink dey goin win ova dem. But now eryting change, an da Jews get da power ova da guys dat hate dem. 2Da Jews come togedda inside dea big towns inside all da districks wea Xerxes stay king, fo go agains da guys dat like do bad tings to dem. No mo nobody can stand agains da Jews, cuz all da odda peopos scared a dem. 3All da ali`i inside all da districks, da leadas, da governas, an da guys dat take care da work fo da king, dey wen help da Jews, cuz dey scared a Mordecai. 4Mordecai wen come one importan guy inside da palace now. Erybody inside all da districks hear bout him. So he get mo an mo power.

  5Da Jews wen use swords fo kill all da guys dat hate dem, an dey do wat dey like to dose guys. 6Inside da strong walls Susa side, da Jews wen kill 500 guys. 7Dey kill Parshandata, Dalfon, Aspata, 8Porata, Adala, Aridata,9Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai, an Vaizata.10Dey wen kill da ten boys dat time, dat get Haman fo dea fadda (da same Haman, Hammadata boy, dat hate da Jews). But dey neva take dea stuffs.

  11Dey tell da king da same day, how plenny guys da Jews wen kill inside da strong walls Susa town.

  12Da king tell Queen Esther, “Da Jews wen kill 500 guys awready inside da strong walls Susa town. Dey wen kill Haman ten boys too. Wat dey do inside my odda districks? Now, wat odda ting you like? Wateva you aks, I give um to you!”

  13Esther tell, “If you tink az good, let da Jews inside Susa do da same ting tomorrow too, an let dem hang Haman's ten boys mahke bodies on top poses.”

  14So da king make one mo rule fo inside Susa town, fo hang Haman's ten boys mahke bodies. 15Da Jews inside Susa wen come togedda one mo time on March 8, an dey kill 300 mo guys inside Susa town, but dey no take dea stuffs.

  16Da same time, da odda Jews inside da king's districks wen come togedda fo take care demself, fo no let da guys dat hate dem bodda dem no moa. Dey kill 75,000 guys, but dey no take dea stuffs.17Dey do dis on March 7. Den March 8, dey res, an make big party an stay feel real good inside.

  Dey Make Da Purim Ho`olaule`a

  18But da Jews inside Susa town still stay fight da peopo dat stay agains dem on March 7 and 8. Az why March 9 da day wen da Susa peopo res an come togedda an make party, an stay feel real good inside.

  19An az why da Jews dat live da country side stay make March 8 da spesho day fo feel good inside, wen dey make party an give food to each odda fo gifs.

  Has the rebranding worked?

  it's been several years since the start of the rebranding of jehovahs witnesses.

  i believe it started with the website change.

  ever since then the religion has moved in a more modern direction.

  Avoiding an apostate in the D2D work was very simple, with a notation on a DNC slip. The carts however, that's almost impossible to do with the public approaching you, and a lot harder to walk away from.
  

  I don't hear of that many negative responses to the carts, but there are plenty enough. I've recommended TedTheAtheist on this board, and he battles JWs at their carts quite a bit.

  Had I the time or interest, I suppose I could stand silently next to them with a tent sign that says RELIGION IS A SNARE AND A RACKET. Or I could debate the case between 607 and 587 BCE, or the authenticity of Genesis and Acts. Or I could bring some creepy marionettes and just hang out.

  Planning my next steps...

  i work a little over 40 hours per week, but i recognize that all good things are due to end.

  i actually got to meet my company president this week, and she's a very nice lady who is very nicely offering $5000 yearly scholarships to her employees and their families.

  i don't have a degree, though i did get a nice college experience before i dropped out, and i'm considering online university.. for starters, i could probably afford the computer science undergrad program at university of the people.

  That said, please listen to your children. Not all are college material and not everyone makes if big through college. Keep an open mind and listen if any of your children tells you that (s)he has no interest in college.

  Forcing kids to college is as bad as denying it for those who do want to go.

  That's true. I understand that. My words are more an expression of sincere will. Once they're adults, there's very little that I can rightly do.

I don't have a degree, though I did get a nice college experience before I dropped out, and I'm considering online university.

  For starters, I could probably afford the Computer Science undergrad program at University of the People. There's a lot of automation coming to my line of work, and I'd be interested in what hybrid opportunities a CS degree could get me, if any. My wife could use the scholarship for her own degree, and I am genuinely serious about selling plasma to help pay for school.

  More artistically, writing a book sounds like a lot of work-fun, and I'd love to pursue Aikido if I can manage the time in a dojo. Tai chi, too.

  Our kids are going to university. Period. No questions. They'll grow up with a regard for religion from their mother, as did Marcus Aurelius, but they will go off and learn for themselves about the world. I'll even start investment accounts in their name so they don't have to worry as much about cost when they're 18.

  I still remember learning the truth about evolution in a basic college biology class. I should never, ever have dropped out.

  Circular reasoning. Very bizarre.
  

  Insight on the Scriptures is littered with circular reasoning. Their whole foundation is logical fallacy.

  Not much of a rock to build on, is it?
