Does it say anything in the bible about being a “spiritual head” or the head being responsible for everyone’s “spiritual growth”?
by My Name is of No Consequence inmy wife is really getting on my case about not being spiritual and leading the family spiritually.
at this point, i really dont go to meetings anymore nor do i have the desire to go.
i guess its not enough that i work 50 hours a week and pay the majority of the household bills with no complaints.

If she truly wants to live a biblical life argue the converse of male headship. Tell her she is clearly under your headship and should obey you in all matters. Then tell her as her head you expect her to follow all your commands to a T. See how fast she crawfishes away from the idea of a biblical life. -

Okay, I am almost forty and outside of my wife I haven't had a friend in decades. Sure I have tons of people with whom I am friendly towards, but they all share something to do with work or business.
I remember thinking last year I had no one who called just to talk. I have people call me constantly talking about work related things, but no one ever called me just to say hello.
I live a pretty simple life. I am either at work or with my family. This limited my ability to meet people. My life schedule combined with my natural introverted personality made meeting new people difficult. I decided to change this so I needed a venue other than work to meet people.
I looked around and found a volunteer conservation group I could get behind and joined. I met another guy who was a tinkerer (a tinkerer is an individual who likes to build and work on random things). He works out of his shop at nights and one the weekends. I have a shop I work in doing all kinds of stuff and we soon joined each other on various personal "fun" projects.
A few days ago he called and we didn't talk about our conservation club or our projects we just talked. When I hung up the phone it felt weird. I then realized he called just to talk. Besides my wife it has been decades sense some one has called just to talk.
It was a nice feeling. Wish me luck on my new "bromance".

Excuses to miss the meeting that won't raise suspicion of a fade
by kairos inthe first step to fading is to begin missing the meetings.. "if" anyone misses you, a quality excuse must be at the ready.
this will produce empathy toward you as opposed to suspicion.. 1. car problems ( don't mention that you caused them ).
2. stuck on the phone resolving insurance, billing, etc issues.. 3. sick ( of the meetings ).

"Every time I sit at the meeting I have uncontrollable urges to____________________."
A. Masturbate while looking at your mom.
B. Beat people whom ask me questions senseless.
C. Finally answer Jehovah's constant voices in my head.
It's easier to fake crazy than sick.

V idiot. Testosterone has a bad reputation because of the anti doping campaigns put out by different groups through out the years. Yes "roid rage" is possible, but that is caused by athletes abusing the steroids. They will literally use 10 times the amount of normal levels. My personality is much more laid back now I have my levels back to "normal". We have no qualms about women using estrogen to keep a since of normalcy during menopause. Why should we view it differently for men wanting to keep normal levels during andropause. -

A few months ago, I was in a downward spin. I was sad and having panic attacks. I finally went to the doctor. I should have done it months ago, but I was nervous about the stigmata. Yeah, I know that's not rational, but people are sometimes not rational beings. So, I go to the doctor and he asked me am I still working out because its a great way to deal with stress. I say no. I have worked out for years he found this surprising. I said it just hurts to bad now. If I hit the gym I am sore for a week. His eyes get big and he says he needs to do some blood work. I said okay and he gave me the test and told me to go home and wait for the results.
He called back a few days later and said to come into his office. I was a little nervous but he said everything was fine just come in to the office. I get there and he tells me I have low T. He said not to worry thats why we have modern medicine. I started to get injections once every two weeks. Wow. The transformation was phenomenal. Within a month, I was back to my old self. Back on top of the world. If any men are experiencing any problems it is worth looking into. I feel 18 again. I can workout with almost no soreness and can repeat a muscle group in only two days.
Also, I started running. I think I found my old man sport. I love getting to challenge myself in a new way. I am running a 5k five times a week and I am looking at my next goal of 10k.
Don't just sit there like I did in pain for another day. Get up and change your life. Go see a doctor.

Brother Knorr's Cadillac and other secret perks
by tim hooper inback when i was a wee lad, my dad told me that the brothers in brooklyn had voted to purchase a cadillac motor car for the sole use of the then president, nathan h knorr.
he'd got this information from the london bethel, him being a chum of the then branch overseer, pryce hughes and his pal ron drage.
religious leaders of non-profit sects are supposed to take a vow of poverty!.

A 402 is a lead sled. I hate them. My Baron is not as big, but I would take it over a 402 any day. I don't think a 402 has been manufactored in 30 years. It's not a bomb shell. Now if they owned a BBJ that would be a big deal.

I have one..................... Oh, I thought you wrote "Green 1961 VW Beatle" One could be fun and actually have a value. The other is a poorly written excuse for a bible translation.

Line 4100 cash. In 2006 about 50 million. In 2013 25 million. It's interesting to note in the year 2011 they started donating 10 million per year to charities. Who thinks that 30 million decline in cash on hand went to mother?
