how about this one:
"Its a good thing so and so died before Armageddon. At least now they have a second chance."
a c.o in one of his friday night talks noticed when he was invited for meals at the brothers and sisters homes that everyone has their chairs and sofa's pointed at the direction of the television set and asked why do people do that.
then he went on to strongly suggest that everyone change this and either have their furniture pointed somewhere else or get rid of the television.
what a total moron!!

i was told this a lot growing up, anyone have similar experiences, either from family or elders ???.
i remember telling my mom, well you didin't marry a jw and got married in a catholic church, of course that was different !!
Yep,
My parents made it very clear to me that I was not to date date or marry anyone who wasn't a JW. Funny thing is, I did. Boy were they mad.
this is a sign that i'm getting older, all my friends are becoming parents.
one of my buddies just emailed me, telling me he might not be able to make my bachelor party because him and his girlfriend have to go out of town to her parents' place, and let them know that she's pregnant.
surprised the crap outta me!.
Nosferatu,
I'm in a simaialr situation in that all my friends have kids and I don't. No big deal though. I have a good job, I've spent the last 8 years enjoying my hubby all to myself, I was able to build a nie house, I have extra money to spend on me. =). Geez I'm selfish!
any particular reason for such decision?
i have health fears, so long ago i decided against having children.
sometimes i feel afraid of growing old alone and lonely, but lately i've realized that having children is no guarantee of any future situation.
I've been married for 8 years. I have no kids, and don't plan on having any. I love children, but I have no desire to have any of my own. Niether does my husband.

Mad World - Gary Jules (Donnie Darko Soundtrack)
All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow
And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world mad world
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me
And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world ... world
Enlarge your world
Mad world
my mother knows i haven't been going to the meetings lately.
we haven't officially had a 'heart to heart' yet.
well she calls up today (sunday after about lunchtime) and immediately begins asking 'where were you yesterday, i tried to call you 5 times?
She probably called you a hundred times yesterday because she wanted to to invite you to the special talk. My parents rarely call me. Yesterday they called three times. I didn't answer the phone because I knew the only reason they were calling me was to invite me to the kingdom hall.
well i went last night...........did anyone else notice how the talk focused almost exclusively on the 144,000???
jesus was barely mentioned.
the first couple of minutes talked about when the israelites left egypt and the passover was instituted.
"Did anyone else notice how the talk focused almost exclusively on the 144,000??? "
I sure noticed. What a boring talk. They spent a total of 3 minutes talking about what the eblems meant and why they observe the memorial. The rest of the talk was about the 144,000 and who should or shouldn't partake. At the end of the talk they announced that there would be elders waiting at the exit doors and all those who want a bible study were to line up and give thier names and phone numbers to the elders. I thought that was a little inappropriate for the occasion.

in particular orlando where i'll be june 19 - july 3 (yes i'm getting out of town before 4th july .
apart from the obvious theme parks where else is good to visit?.
If you want to get away from the crowded touristy places, visit the Bok Sanctuary. It's cheap, and well worth your time. http://www.boktower.org/visiting/singing.html
