it was announced recently, that "bro.
z is no long the coordinator(76 years old), bro y(60) is now the new coordinator of the body of elders".. you see, bro.
z has been an elder for 43 years and 35 of them as the cobe/po.
It also, maybe unreasonably, makes me angry that they promote apple products that are so dang expensive.
Those older folks are likely on a fixed income and could buy comparable devices in other brands that are much less expensive.
It seems like they're just adding insult to injury, especially if these devices will cause frustration and remain unused.
this is mine....watch "coolio ft. l.v - gangsta's paradise (official music video)" on youtubehttps://youtu.be/cpgbzylnz7c
"Brain Stew" by Greenday from the album Insomniac
I can do some major insomnia and sometimes nothing will knock me out.
Story of my life: never getting enough sleep.
My workweek goes like this: Monday is good. I've caught up on rest over the weekend.
Tuesday I'm tired, but I can still function.
Wednesday I'm really dragging. It's hard to do my job efficiently and well.
Thursday I make it through the day in a fog, and know I will have to nap after work to be able to get up Friday. However, in the past few years I have no longer been able to nap during the day. I am a zombie.
Friday the alarm goes off and I think I'm going to die. No way I'll make it through the day. I usually do, but am utterly miserable and unproductive.
Saturday I can sleep in a little, but I still don't catch up on all my lost sleep from the week. I'm mildly productive at housework.
Sunday I sleep in and finally catch up on my sleep. I feel energetic and get stuff done in the afternoon.
Then it all starts over again.
I really do often feel like "my eyes are gonna bleed" and that "the clock is laughing in my face" at night.
i finally had the guts to create a profile to be able to post.
i've been lurking for a few months and have read all your experiences and comments dutifully.
you have been a great help in my process of waking up from this cult posing as the one true religion.
Welcome. I'm also on the east coast. Near DC and Baltimore.
right smack into (what looks like) the front entry!.

this was in australia, but the khs i've seen (in the us) are designed so that you'd have to almost intentionally want to ram a building to cause this kind of damage.
My MIL sleeps and drives, but our state doesn't have mandatory retesting for older drivers. She won't voluntarily give up her license. There's no public transportation here, either.
She's not allowed to drive any of the grandchildren around, though.
first week focuses on utilizing videos in combination with tracts.
for the wtbts, this is a low cost approach to placements and prosyletising.. .
second week focuses on those who are ill. this is somewhat surprising in that the subject was discussed recently in the wt study (dec 15 2015 edition - "jehovah will sustain you") considered at the end of february this year.. .
i would probably collapse laughing.
My parents would just assume it was the Great Tribulation and the work would be driven underground. They would find like-minded people and meet together in their homes.
Just because the organization collapsed wouldn't mean they would give up their faith.
i had my previous toshiba laptop plugged into the wall five days ago when a sudden electric storm drove a jagged bolt of electricity earthward and fried my hard drive.
i posted my sad status on facebook.
guess who saw it?
Hope you didn't lose any important files.
Yeah, these Chromebooks are what our school system uses for the middle school population. They do the job.
Maybe invest in a surge protector?
hey y'all, .
i'm not sure about you, but i occasionally get those days where i feel a bit down, as if i have no friends.
i do have a number of great friends, though, and am very thankful for them.. i think it might have to do with the residual programming of having a "worldwide brotherhood".
Yes, crazyguy, exactly this!
My parents moved congregations and I would ask them about so-and-so from the old congregation whom they had known for decades, and I'd get an answer something like, "Well, I think they're doing okay."
It was clear they hadn't spokem to them in a long while.

People who think they don't know any homosexuals shouldn't be so sure.
I think it's more likely that everyone knows a homosexual, they just don't know that they are gay.
Being in the closet is still a thing.
a devout christian had his buttocks mauled by a lion after challenging the big cat to a duel in order to prove the “lord’s power over animals”.. alec ndiwane, who has been described as a “prophet” in african media, was on safari at the kruger national park in south africa when he confronted the pride.. determined to prove to fellow tourists that god would save him, ndiwane is said to have gone into a trance and started speaking in tongues before opening his car door and charging at the lions.. but the lions were quick off the mark and bit him viciously on the backside as he clambered into the vehicle.. a warden managed to scare the big cats off by firing a gun in the air.. “i do not know what came over me,” ndiwane told ghanaweb.. “i thought the lord wanted to use me to show his power over animals.
is it not we were given dominion over all creatures of the earth?” he added.. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/6994224/devout-christian-has-buttocks-mauled-by-lions-after-challenging-big-cats-to-a-duel-to-prove-the-lords-power-over-animals.html?cmp=spklr-_-editorial-_-twitter-_-thesunnewspaper-_-20160311-_-news-_-394160343-_-imageandlink.
Sometimes I challenge my house cat to a duel...and he wins!
