no one partakes of it?
out of the many memorials i have been to, i only recall 1 when a bethelite came to give our talk and he was of the anointed and partook of the emblems.
but anyway i've read a post on here and heard about a person in my local area that partook of the emblems and their "anointed" status was questioned.
SweetP,
It gets worse. Not only do the Dubs ignore the Take this ALL OF YOU part, they also ignore scripture that says they should do this
" Corinthians 11:26For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes. "
According to scripture and JW doctrine, they should have stopped celebrating the Memorial in 1914 when Jesus came.
i am talking a 3to 4 ft hornet nest in a tree that if you make any movement near it they sworm by the thousands.
how do you get rid of a nest that big?
the nest is actually on the land next to me , only about 10ft from my polebarn , i know of the person that owns the land ,he has no home there just uses it for hunting.
Poke the darned thing with a six or seven foot long stick, whack it a few times for good measure.
i have been inactive for the past 5 years or so.
i just could not bring myself to sit through meeting after meeting of the same thing any longer.. however, my wife and children are still regular and as such are preparing to go to the district convention next month.. for the past 4 years i have been able to avoid going to it with commitments to work, etc.
unfortunately this year it is not the case and my wife has made it very clear that she expects me to go with her.. how do i express to her that i don't want to spend 3 days of my life in uncomfortable clothing, sitting in a hot arena, listening to information that makes me want to stab pencils into my ears?
You can do it, you just can't do it without pissing her off....Sorry.

Blobby, I arrived at the tail end of summer, it started cooling off shortly after arriving...like about a month probably it was that hot. And don't be fooled, there IS a lot of humidity in the desert when you're 40 miles from the ocean.

hell week aka vacation bible school at the church behind us is almost over.
there are approximately five more minutes of screaming left, followed by a "free carnival" at 5pm, then nothing until sunday when we'll be gone anyway.
yay.
They give the kids "Jesus! toys!!"
Beats the hell out of the kids being given "Jesus Juice"
Hell Week AKA Vacation Bible School at the church behind us is almost over. There are approximately five more minutes of screaming left, followed by a "free carnival" at 5pm, then nothing until Sunday when we'll be gone anyway. YAY I understand, really, all I can say is YIKES!
I use quotes on the "free carnival" because I have to wonder, is anything really free? Nothing is free, but sometimes YOU don't have to pay. It makes me so angry when they go out of their way to invite MY children without consulting me first. This is underhanded and should NEVER be done, I abhor it. Obviously we despise them, we've made that quite clear. If not before, then now. They still try to suck us in via the kids. BASTARDS! So now I get to be the ogre who has to tell them that we won't be attending the "free carnival" this year. Nice, huh! Of course ALL their friends are attending so the tears come. PIZZA HUT!
We have attended in the past only to be sought out by the youth pastor who introduces us as the people who live there (pointing at our house) who I've told you about. Well, that can only mean one thing. IF such an introduction is made again, confront. "REALLY< WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN TOLD?" The only thing he'd be able to say is that we are the ones who come over and tell them to shut up, they are lousy neighbors, woke us up at 5am Saturday...etc...etc..etc... 5AM on a Saturday, there aren't quiet hours in your community? Steve was steamed last time and we have avoided them at all costs. Plus the church ladies give me nasty looks and all the carnival give aways are Jesus toys. D*mned insidious b*st*rds! Sorry, hard to commesurate with you on this one issue...like I said above, it's better than Jesus Juice.
DON'T BUY A HOUSE NEXT TO, IN FRONT OF OR BEHIND A CHURCH. Unless you like the church and it's schedule. Imagine how the priest of a Catholic Church feels, he lives right there at the church.
i took the wife and kids to see i, robot with will smith last night....great movie.
my son is a real issac asimov fan.
he said asimov would have hated the movie, but that he really enjoyed it.. come to think of it, i'd be hard pressed to name a will smith movie i don't like.
wild wild west (please yeru, tell me you didnt like this one)
OK, this is probably his worst one yet....but it was bearable because I saw it for free while traveling around in Bosnia bored to tears for three weeks.

Hit it with a big stick!
we have so many vocal posters here, on both sides of the fence....any of you actually involved in your candidate's campaigns?.
how many of you are working to get your presidential candidate in to office?
how much time are you devoting and how?
Since I work for the government I'm limited in what I can do, but yes, without going into detail, I am supporting Bush's re-election efforts.
