I had visions shortly after I ate a toasted bagel with green butter
Mariah Carey sucks!!!!
whether in the congregation or at bethel?
as they release the 9/11 tapes for all of us to renew the horror of that day again, i feel my anxiety level raise almost as much as it did that very day.
i watched the face of the man i worked for stare in disbelief as he came rushing into the room to watch in absolute horror as the trade centers fell one after the other killing his close friend inside.
as he collapsed on the couch, i knew i would never forget the look on his face for the rest of my life.
I'm glad DE addressed that comment. It also needs to be noted, that 60 years ago, there were no precision laser guided bombs, no strategic air strikes (as we know them now), and the doctrine dictated a different approach.
Had the bomb not been dropped, we would currently be fighting a terrorist insurgency in Japan, as well as Iraq-leading to more deaths than what actually happened on Aug 6 and 9, 1945. After all, kamikaze=SVBIED driver (Suicide Vehicle Borne Improvised Explosive Device).
They call war hell for a reason
a priest said: "when you add up all the things that jesus spoke about in the gospels it comes to two hours".
however he said," it was his deeds that counted more than his words".
did you ever hear that before!
tell us about the results, the fun, the friendships you made and those that broke.
did you meet your current spouse there?
what was your team captain like?
yup. West Virginia as a matter of fact. There actually was one guy in that hall I enjoyed meeting.
We learned that all preachers will only be respected if they drive around in a big white Caddy. That was what the locals expected. (One of the elders who went with us had one. He met much "success.")
It was kind of like JW's-Real World. While everyone was friendly with each other at the hall back home, everyone got annoyed with each other within 12 hours of arriving at the hall in WV.
My pops was team captain, so I never had a problem.
I also remember it being hot as hell.
Every householder had a huge black velvet painting of Elvis.
There was one dude sitting on his porch about 500 feet away from the hall just jammin on his banjo. That was pretty cool.

soon to be a major motion picture, starring noah wyle as timothy, and james woods as philetus..... .
just a little bit about myself before you answer:
i was raised a jehovah's witness by my mother, who got "the truth" by studying with inlaws who were already members.
my father had been disfellewshipped for joining the army a few years before i was born, and has nevered returned to the organization.
well, my life is about to change over the next week, the anxiety is running high, and the adrenaline is going full blast, i hope i make it .... just a reminder of what has happened ... last summer my wife went to ontario and stayed with her sister, at the time me and her were not doing to well, and while she was there she screwed around on me, and her sister laughed about it.
it's been 11 months, i've did the counselling, and i've tried to forgive her, but i'll tell you all something ...... "it just eats at you everyday, no matter how hard you try.".
so i arrive on saturday, and day 1 will be taking care of this guy, i just hope i don't k--l him and spend the rest of my life in jail.
here in quebec, one funny expression people say is "donne a manger a un cochon, et il viendra chier sur ton perron" .
word for word in english this would mean: feed a pig, and he will shit on your porch.
in other words, sometimes you try to be nice to people, and they don't always try to be nice to you in return.. .
tetrapod: I say : SACRE MERDE= HOLY SHIT!
To my wife I often say: "You're an IDIOT"
To my 14-month old son I say: "You're FAT"
To my first line supervisor I say: "Shut up, ya damn bald headed ARIAN"
To all females I say: "What do you know? You're just a girl!"
To my older brother I say: "BORING"
I guess it all depends on who I'm talking to.
