lol.@ airwlk ..I gotta say one thing
EEEEEEWWWWWWW!! Yuk!
i was just thinking about the snoozefest i used to go through with each new gilead class.
the introductions were the worst!
im not sure you get the same feel from the doctored up articles in the wt, but listening to the couples was just maddening.. there was always at least 3 or 4 couples that would say the exact same thing: well, i wanted to be a missionary but couldnt go without a partner and my husband/wife was in the same predicament so we got married and here we are.

"Pitiful"
Description in time
of the
fine lines
that crackle
the surface
and chip
and peel
and wear
away,
Comlacent
in the thought
of the dream
from the night
of yesteryear,
Droning in
seas of
relentless
emotions
that have
not been
able
to come
to conclusions;
Pitiful is
the soul
that holds
these to
heaving bosoms
with flickering
smiles
that they
are
happiness
1998
"Conclusion"
I've been bent
before
on certain
circumstances
that led
me to believe
that my
thoughts and
random synchronized
values
were of misunderstood
proportions
and are not
properly
determined
with the
correct
conclusions
1999
do you think these people, who come in here, on this board and defend jws are for real?
do you think they really are good little jws?
do you think they really want to help us, or just start trouble?
Well I don't think we can lump them all into one category.
1. I say some are one their last leg in the WTS and want advice, help, suggestions and friends that know what they have gone through.
2. I think some seriously think they can somehow "save" us by trying to throw bible quotes that are misinterpreted at us.
3. I think some are here as spies...to find out who among us are dangerous
4. And some I think aren't even JW's and they just are bored and want to start up fights. This would explain why most of the ones in this category never answer any legitimate questions we post and instead argue semantics.
I am officially going to stop posting to those who I feel are in 2 or 3 or 4 as they are only a waste of time and energy that can much better be used to twiddle my thumbs among other things.
earlier this morning i had a moment...and had a bit of a temper tantrum.
i want to thank all those that let me know i wasnt alone.
i have been going through some tough times and noone gave me grief when i yelled about it.
Perfect kindness
acts
without thinking
of kindness.
----Lao Tse
Be afraid of nothing-
you have within you
all wisdom
all power
all strength
all understanding.

I wish the day when I can say that this is happening to me. I know it will come and until then just know that your words have inspired me. I always love reading your posts as you are always filled with kindness, compassion and love and this one is no exception.
May your days be ever brighter as they come.

it seems like unless you're incredibly wealthy or lucky that its impossible to have both at the same time, especially if you're a working stiff.
right now between my wife and i we make a fairly decent living, however we don't have a lot of time to do things together (or alone) until the weekend comes around.
and we all know how short weekends can be, not to mention if a lot of errands need to be done that can eat up your time fairly quick.
Lets see one quote comes to mind..."money cant buy happiness"
Id rather be happy with all the time in the world than unhappy and filthy rich.
i was just sitting here, reflecting on my day.
the last month has basically been pretty crappy for me and a rollercoaster of emotions.
i knew i was in bad shape when my landlord told me i could have absolutely no pets in my apartment.
rainbows
rainy days
a good book
my beautiful kitten
a stormy night
grapes
having time to enjoy all of them
everybody has their own cure for a hangover.
i was talking to a guy last week, and he suggested taking two advil and drinking a glass of milk as soon as you wake up.
somebody else i talked to suggested drinking ginger ale.
Dont mix your liquors...drink lots of water.... and take a vitamin B-12.
i saw this on a tv programme a year or so ago and thought of it today for some reason:.
a wages clerk at a small company was working on the payslips when she noticed a mistake with one of the employees wages.
as it was his day off but the wages had to be paid into the bank that day she decided to ring him up to check on whatever the problem was.. he answers the phone and she says "hi" and starts to explain the problem.. for some reason though, he is amazed and keeps asking how show knew he'd be there !?.
That is freaky....thanks for sharing Simon!
