Stretching field service time to the max - those pioneers in the congregation were good at it. They'd go to these little old ladies who would welcome them with open arms and visit with them and then they'd share a scripture and be off their way. We could blow an hour just sitting in elderly women's homes.

by Lo-ru-hamah ini don't know if any one else here has made this observance but..... today as i was running errands around town i noticed quite a few witnesses out in the ministry.

Guantanamo Bay Suicides - a PR Move
by eyeslice inquote from bbc website .
a top us official has described the suicides of three detainees at the us base at guantanamo bay, cuba, as a "good pr move to draw attention".
colleen graffy told the bbc the deaths were part of a strategy and "a tactic to further the jihadi cause", but taking their own lives was unnecessary.

The government is only telling what it wants to hear; I'd probably commit suicide too if I were stuck in Gitmo Bay with a bunch of GI's telling me what to do.

Is This Kind of Behavior at a Concert Acceptable?? Need Your Opinions.
by Seeker4 inyesterday i attended a music festival.
ten hours long, maybe a dozen or so acts.
when the next to the last act appeared, james mcmurtry, the son of writer larry mcmurtry and a hell of a songwriter/musician, his fans were invited to "dance in front of the stage and in the aisles.

I've probably been to 50 concerts in my lifetime (my first was Cat Stevens and my latest was Glen Campbell) and I can tell you people standing happens at every concert. When you're on the floor, you can't see a thing, but if you sit in the balcony, most people sit. At Paul McCartney in 2002, there were guards around so you couldn't too close to the front. I remember one concert my friend couldn't see the performer so she literally kicked the girl standing in her way. I almost died laughing if I hadn't been so high because of the pot smokers around us!

Thank you, JWD!
by AuldSoul ini just wanted to take a minute and express the appreciation i feel for this place.
simon and angharad, thanks to you two for putting up with the crap necessary to keep this place available to disenfranchised outcasts like me.
also, thanks to the forum administrators who work to keep the place relatively cordial and welcoming.. but really, this forum would be nothing without the posters.

How sad. There was a woman in our congregation whose husband was killed in service. I always thought it was an urban legend.

What's your nickname?
by Country Girl ineveryone seems to have some kind of nickname or pet name that their family, friends, or spouse/significant other calls them.
some of the names were acquired in childhood and just "stuck" and some were acquired later in life.
what is/was your pet name, and is there an interesting story behind it?

"Cast Away" is my favorite Tom Hanks movie. Cried when he was talking about being on that island at the hotel after his party.
"Forrest Gump" - Jenny shouldn't have died. She could have helped him on the shrimping boats.
"Philadelphia" - great movie...do we see a pattern here?

Remember "Brian's Song" (the original with James Caan and Billy Dee Williams) - that was the first movie to make me cry. I was so young, I cried for 2 hours. Mom wouldn't let me watch it after that.
"Born Free" - I cried during that slurpy song.
"The Sound of Music" - I still cry when they're going across the mountain at the end.
"Witness" - the scene at the end of the movie with Harrison Ford and Lukas Haas is so sweet.
