dear givers of the benefit of the doubt,.
i recall that in discussing "love believes all things," the aid book stated that we should give our "brother" the benefit of the doubt until we have good reason to no longer do so.
that's the gist of it.
Hey Stephanus. Happy Birthday!!
Thanks man! It's tomorrow, BTW.
Hey!
LOL Don't worry, Jayhawk - one of the items on my "To Do" list, should I win Powerball, is "Build annoyingly large and impractical model train layout. Plus I watch "Working on the Railroad" on the How To Channel.
With a knife as his avatar, I'm guessing that our newbie friend's hobbies are in the knife-making/gun-smithing realms.

I visit a couple hobby related forums
Uh oh! A guy who plays with model trains. Do I smell a T....? LOL

point-out the changes that have taken place are nothing more than .
adjustments in understanding.
Here's one. I borrowed this book from MY P.O. Nice try but no cigar!
What've you been smoking now??

"british intelligence and law enforcement officials have passed on a grim assessment to their u.s. counterparts, "it will be a miracle if there isn't a terror attack over the holidays in london," a senior american law enforcement official tells abcnews.com.".
sounds pretty serious.
Well, so much for the scary "inevitable" Christmas bombing.
from as long as i remember the watchtower society has painted an idyllic rural scene for their future existence on the planet earth, free from the non jehovah servers that live now.. my mother regularly talks about her 'little donkey and cart' that she's going to own in the 'new system of things'.. so do the jehovah's witnesses dream of living in an 'amish paradise' minus the amish, of course?.
do they have any idea what kind of nightmare existence that entails, especially adding on top of that five meetings a week, continuing fs, studying etc?.
I've been watching the Canadian TV show How It's Made lately, and getting my youngest to watch it too. It's amazing how much infrastructure, technology and energy goes into some of the simplest stuff we take for granted, eg. bottles of milk and sliced bread. I get the youngest to watch it so that he realises just how much the modern lifestyle he enjoys is tied into our industrial/technological present reality. That "smaller" and "simpler" wouldn't necessarily be "better".
The division of labour was mentioned before. And that would of necessity happen. Dubs growing wheat would want bread, and someone would probably have to specialise as a miller, to grind the flour. Someone would have to tame the tigers and wolves, and such a job wouldn't leave much time for farming.
i hear tell that there will be yet another brochure campaign.
it will be in an upcoming km !
that is all i know.. i bet i just fell into some sorta trap but what the hell..
Do you have a source for this interesting tidbit? Oh wait this isn't wikipedia....
LOL
I blame Bush!
okay, so a guy friend told me i was intimidating.

wendy.
Gosh, now I feel like the devil herself. I am most sincerely sorry for what I said. Here I take a chance and try to be saucy and all I am is rude. Sorry, Golf, I had no idea.
I thought it was kind of rude, even before Golf told his sad tale. I find women doctors to be generally more thorough than male ones, and a little more dilligent. And even the young ones don't tend to be terribly Bimboish and sexually dazzling.
oh.... how the saga goes on!!
i swear we could write a novel about our life exiting the watchtower!!
ok..many of you read what happened..our house was egged and so was my sisters car that was parked here, and "frosty" was attacked!!
I weep for Frosty's cold, dead heart.
the following account is 100% true and all of the paranormal activity was experienced firsthand by me.. i work in a converted garage.
there is a side door, with a window, and a back door with a window that leads to a swimming pool.
both doors have cloth canopies to keep out some of the sunlight.
The wind calling your name.
Since I started on the current meds, I now dream vividly pretty well every time I drowse, if only for a moment or two. There's been times I've nodded off in front of the comp screen for just seconds, only to dream something like someone calling me or a noise in the house or a knock at the door, then I'll snap awake, check everything, ask if anyone heard anything and then I'll be sure I dreamed it.

Makes me wonder who's been killing all the frosty's in my neighborhood!
Some years back in Brooklyn there was a wave of arson attacks. The target? Christmas wreaths! With the proximity to Bethel, I theorised that some over-zealous Bethelite was taking his anti-Christmas beliefs too seriously.
