WT goofie phrases.

i used to get into trouble for making light of the these phrases that some elders have told me are to be used only gods people.

lol that you all may know maybe:.

"well, brother that is very "commendable," just before the meeting ends the po says to those in attendance "brothers the time left is reduced," i once heard a co say to those seated during one of his talks "well now, we don't want to die at armageddon now do we, well of course not.

Acsot, you and I must think a bit alike! You've made some other posts that I agree with too.

I've always hated "happifying", "appreciated", and "ones". Especially "ones"! That drives me nuts! I always made a point of NEVER saying it in talks.

"Bees that were molested". Man is that a riot or what?? Every time we sing that, my wife and I just start laughing! We can't help it!

Pepper, that really cracks me up! "we offer this prayer through our reigning winger dinger, Jesus Christ. Amen."

God has never failed me ...

by CoolBreeze in

just wanted to share this personal thought.

god has never failed me, but every religion has.. .

god has always been eternal.

Hi Rob! Glad you're up and feeling spunky!

Everything you said makes sense, however like Reborn said, it does seem rather arrogant for some to claim divine intervention in their lives as though they were more special than others who apparently didn't receive it. Much has been said over the years explaining why God chooses to help this person or that person, however when one looks at the randomness of life and the fact that "time and unforseen occurence" do indeed befall us all, it is difficult to believe that he singles anyone out.

But if a person has faith in such things, I admire them.

That was COMF's point! The child did NOT choose! Yet bad happened to it anyway.

I have to agree with at least your third paragraph Reborn. (oops, now it's your fifth)

But hey Anton, to each his own (said the old lady as she kissed the cow).

Financial Help.

hit my posting limit and am using my second account..... i don't know if anyone can help or not.. but i am in a desprate situation whereas i have to swallow my pride and seek out some help.. i am behind rent as well as my morgage ( i own a moble home on a lot rent).. need food as well.. phone needs to stay in service since i am deaf and need it as part my text communication for hopes of landing a better job.

sister can email me to let me know if a employer calls, so i can drive over and find out what's up from there.. i work at wal-mart and alot of us have our hours cut to 20+ hrs a week, so this is hurting me fianacially.. job hunts is hard since i am deaf since most employers seems to prefer hiring a hearing person.. i know of a deaf friend who is unemployed and he went thru 20 job interviews in a month.

none of them ever called or emailed him to say he got a job.. family can't help since they all have their own problems to deal with.. i can post all the info you need if anyone needs it, such as my landlord's address and my morgage address if anyone wants to mail a check directly to them.
