  there comes a time when everyone needs a break.

  that time has come for me.

  i enjoy corresponding with one and all, but due to having so many other things to do; i feel the need to get busy doing them.

  if your boyfriend refuses to go to college, what do you do?.

  for his job, he really needs a college degree.

  but he said that there is something about "being at school".

  My husband had the big college fear as well. Partly because of severe dyslexia, partly because of fear of going to an American college. It took a long time before he got over those fears and he started going to Junior college last year. I guess what I'm saying is that it takes time. I leaped into college immediately after leaving the borg, but just because I did it that way doesn't mean everyone else can. I had to learn a lot of patience in this matter.

  From 1989 to 1994 - Five years. I worked so hard at it too, conducted several studies, brought people in the truth. And it was all a scam.

  i remmember the idea that god has been around forever, to be a bit confusing as a witness.. does this really make sense?.

  heres two reason why it doesn't.. 1.what was the first thing god did?.

  so either it wasn't the first thing , if there is not a first thing god did see point 2,or god had a begining.

  The problem is that we think too much in terms of time. And we think of God too much as just a more powerful version of ourselves. It doesn't work that way. It's beyond our human comprehension.

  Just go and grieve in your own way. I've gone to funerals since I've been shunned and I've just had the mindset that no one else is in the room and I'm going to honor this person's life as well as mourn their passing. I've sat and cried and thought about them and ignored those who would shun me as well as the talk and just thought about them. Being able to bring closure and grieve someone's passing is very important and I wouldn't deny myself it.

  They're having layoffs yet they're expanding construction all at the same time. Sounds like a big corporation to me....

  It's true about women in the business world. That's why in business management they have the term "front office" and back office" girl. The front office women look all attractive up front where they have to deal with customers and they put the smart, but ugly ones in the back. As far as I've seen they don't do that with men!

  See, the key to beating the system is to become absolutely necessary and then you can do what you want within reason to prove a point that this front office / back office stuff is a load of crap. The week before I had to go out to Omaha to begin initial specifications for a new software package for a customer, I dyed my hair Bright Pink! There was nothing they could do but hand me my plane ticket. Who else was going to go?

  JW article in major Canadian newspaper today...

  by Pathofthorns in

  2. friends

  i almost didn't have time to read the morning's paper, but a banner at the top of the front page entitled "cheerleading for jehovah" got my attention.

  interesting comments in the toronto star can be read here.

  the article has obvious input from the society and seems to be a pr type move in light of recent bad canadian press (calgary blood case) and likely future canadian programs exposing jws and child abuse.. interesting comments:.

  They're gonna be kicking themselves in 10 years when they realize they can't make more than minimum wage...

  Or, to quote SYN, they're "baby factories on legs".

  Hey! I thought Rock concerts were evil - what were they doing at a Dave Matthews gig?
