I love California. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area. I think this is the best area in the world. I know things are expensive, but if you don't have any decent job, any place is going to be expensive to you.
Yeah, we could have big earthquakes, but not every year.
just wondering what sorts of things give you the "spiritual high" that you may have previously gotten from jw.
another form of religion (within christianity or some other religion)?
meditation?
Doing good deeds to the needy ones. It always makes me think of Christian quality.
...are still hanging out here.
so how the hell are y'all?.
ps, i've still not read the guidelines before posting.
Well, I have been pregnant. How about you?
ps - I never read the guide line, either.
yes, it's true.. the last concert i went to was 30 years ago: george benson, and only because he was a "brother.".
last night: john mayall.
kate .
I'm glad that you enjoyed the concert, onacruse.
I went to Elton John and Billy Joel's concert one time. It was my first concert other than classical music. I enjoyed it very much.
my mother told me the other day that if push came to shove, she probably wouldn't go to my daughter's wedding if she knew she would be removed as a regular pioneer.
she said that pioneering was something she chose to do over the last 40 plus years.
if my daughter chose to marry an "unbeliever", then that was her decision.......obviously, some things are more important.
The bottom line is that these programmed JWs are battling their "Bible-trained consciences".
You mean, "Pseudo-Bible-Brain-Washed consciences"?

quote of a witness, while discussing the jan 1, 1989 watchtower versus the 1989 bound volume:
"the apostle paul was spearheading the christian missionary activity.
he was also laying a foundation for a work that would be completed in our 20th century.
Typo my foot! I saw them editing and inspecting several times at Bethel.
No, I wasn't a bethelite. I went there for a tour.
i just got home from the store.
there is an armed stand-off on my street, one block down.
there is a man with his child and wife.
My prayers and thoughts to those children!
By the way if he got the custody of children, why is he doing this?

Hmm...yeah, she doesn't look too innocent to me, either.
i don't know if this has already been posted??.
according to the uk may kingdom ministry, there will now be facilities in place to accept donations by credit cards and debit cards at all english language conventions.
as far as i am aware this is the first time that this happened in the uk, although it have have been introduced in other countries at an earlier time.. i suppose that the gb are hoping that the dubs will be so overwhelmed by the "whole convention experience" that they will get themselves into debt, paying money they don't have into the society coffers.. i am also sure that at every break, an announcement will be made explaining exactly where these credit card machine facilities will be.. also another first, next to each contribution box will be a big wad of the gift aid forms, so the wt will get an additional 22% on top paid for by the goverment.
