I'll tell you what bugs me more than anything to this day - at the Watchtower study, how they would take a section of scripture and try to apply to them - how horrible things were and then in the end Jehovah would vindicate his people. It didn't matter what section of the Bible it was, they would screw it up to their advantage. Hence the name I call the WT Study - Twisted Scripture!

Lets say you went to a meeting, list what would irritiate you...
by JH in.
in my case, it was always the length of the meetings that bothered me.. no matter what meeting it is, you have to get there prepared, and that means lots of time reading the darn literature.. another thing that would irritate me, is all the magazines that come in faster than i can read.. i'll let you guys add to this list.. .

Rent vs. Buying a house
by Elsewhere in.
i have started thinking about buying a house again.
something that drives me nuts is the fact that i can't seem to get a straight answer out of anyone as to whether or not owning a house would be financially better than renting an apartment.. things to take into consideration:how much i pay in rent.how much rent increases each year.how much i pay in renters insurance.how much a mortgage would be.how much pmi or an 80 / xx mortgage would be.how much i would have to take from or borrow from my 401ks and iras for a down payment.how much i will have to pay in penalties for taking money from my 401ks and iras.how much money l will loose by not having that 401k money earning interest.how much maintenance on the property will cost.how much insurance will cost.how much i will be paying in property taxes.how much in "freebies" i will get from the seller (they will pay $xxx in closing costs if i use their mortgage company).other crap i haven't thought of yet.. it seems like everyone i talk to has their own agenda and they all give me different results based on they want me to do so they will get more money from me.

Renting has its perks - if you totally hate doing any type of repairs, it will be done for you. If you buy, you can put the hole in the wall and not have to worry about getting your security deposit back. I rented for over a decade until my marriage and I see both sides. In the end - buying is better because you have an investment.

Oh goodness, I could only watch that once. Looks like a news crew filming her and she got busted. I think that lady who did the punching got busted soon after the incident.

I read this nutrition guy's blog on the Internet. www.donlemmon.com - He's married to Asia Carrera, former porn star and Mensa member. They have the cutest baby Catalina and are expecting another in a few months. What does one have to be to be in Mensa? (IQ wise).

The Big Four-Oh Today...
by Confession inso i'm 40 today.
wow.... not only have i never celebrated my birthday, but my "date-of-birth" (april 20th) has always coincided with that of adolph hitler's and, more recently, the 1999 columbine student massacre.
furthermore my daughter has just informed me that today (4/20) is also inernational marijuana day, apparently to coincide with the term "four twenty," which stands for pot.. anyway, although age 40 has traditionally been one of the major mile-markers in peoples' lives, i feel great!

They've been distributing Bibles for years...I still have the New Testament I got in elementary school. You had to have a permission slip from your parents to get one. The King James version has Jehovah in it 3 times; one of them being Psalms 83:18. They primarily leave their Bibles in hotel rooms, schools and prisons - they have been doing that for years and years and years (1899). My great great grandfather, Samuel F. Hill of Wisconsin was a founder of the Gideons in 1898.

Here's a plan for next year's Memorial....great fun if u have the guts!
by AK - Jeff inpicture five or six apostates filtering into a kingdom hall where none are known.
they do not visit with each other, but just mingle in the crowd.
when the time comes to sit down and listen to the sales pitch, they all sit in seperate areas of the kh.
