this friday, december 7th., is our 28th wedding anniversary.

her ladyship and i intend to visit our favourite restaurant, dimitri's, for a slap-up greek meal plus a considerable quantity of excellent wine.. its a time when we like to reflect on our life together, the lows as well as the highs that we have experienced over the years.

mainly, our life has been one of laughter and fun.

They shun you--Do you love them?

by ashitaka in

for all who have, are, or will be shunned (which should pretty much be all of us), do you still have a deep love for those who now shun you...now, not familial love, but an active love that yearns for that person's companionship?.

i have several regrets; one of them is the friends that i've lost.

how about you guys?.

Counting Time... Is It Part Of The Rot?

by ballistic in

how many here have pioneered?.

be honest, what was predominantly on your mind, telling people this wonderfull good news or was it counting time?.

an elder once said to me, "you know, it's strange how when pioneers quit pioneering, they're hours don't stay the same, they don't gradually diminish and they don't even drop by half... they drop practically to nothing.".

``Quality Time'' in Field Service: Fact or Fiction

by Room 215 in

based on comments in various threads, it seems that many of you are acquainted with the various ``dodges'' jws use to strech out their field service time: foot-dragging, driving around on return visits from one far-flung end of the territory to the other, the skilful avoidance of contact with housholders, coffee breaks, etc.

etc.. do you have any impression of how pervasive these time-wasting such practices are, and what proportion of the time reported by jws is actually bogus and not spent productively?

or, put another way, how rare is is to encounter who just loves to go out and who uses his/her time efficiently from beginning to end?.
