i have already gotten an email from someone stating that their gift arrived safely in the mail.
i thought it would be nice to start a thread where we can post what we got (for those nosey like me who want to know!
) and a thank you.. as for me, i haven't even begun yet!
Yeah, I was wondering why people were already opening their gifts, but Scooter made sense in what she said. (Scoot, you're pretty cool.)
Anyhow I was wondering about this very thing when lo and behold - someone started a thread.
OH it's too exciting! Hey, even hubby got in on this because he wants to include something special...and I ain't telling...nahnahnahnahhahahahahah

i have a friend that works at diablo canyon nuclear power plant here in california.
pg and e hooked up a load of nuclear fuel to a defected hitch.. (inside sources say that they were well aware of the defect) .
they drove about 40 feet away when the hitch broke and the trailer dropped!.
Reborn, that was too funny. Personally I'm not sure if the biggest morons are those in government or those who continually put their faith and trust into organizations that promote the very things that kill humanity on a daily bases.
I can just hear some people now...but we need government...we need prisons...we need someone else to take responsibility for our inability too take action...blahblahblah. What many morons could probably use is a swift kick in the arse for starters. It's one way too begin reclaiming our power for govering the government(s)...Isn't that OUR responsibility?
your harsh criticism of the watchtower is not helping matters.
instead of criticizing the problems, why not suggest solutions?.
this is pointless, provocative and designed to ignite a firestorm of followup attacks.... "the borg's disfellowship policies totally sux!!!!!".
Francois, I particulary appreciated how you expressed the "truth" of the matter.

i feel very happy and proud of myself as i went to the shop and brought my very first christmas cd the other day!.
i have been playing it today.. very cool!
i love singing along to the tunes.. not that i can sing!.
Farkel, thanks! I don't think anyone's explained the entire episode as JW quite as wonderfully as you did. Especially that damned Babble' book. Gawd, I hated that shit...anyhow you gave me a chuckle early this morning.

hey everyone...tink is spending the night at her younger brothers and called me a few minutes ago with an update i thought you would be interested in.. the tornado was ranked as an f3.
two people died in coffee county (manchester,tn).
one 10 year old and an older man around his late 40's.
Here, too, I hate hearing of such tragedy, but know life brings sorrow as well as joy. What always brings joy is in reading about how we do reach out to strangers in those times of hardship. That's the spirit I believe in. That kindred spirit that knows no boundries...just love.
My husband and I have done volunteer work for quite a few years now, and it does bring such personal reward. We also understand that returning like for like is important in order to keep the magik flowing. Ya know, that do unto others type thing. It could be any one of us left standing naked for a myriad of reasons...we would want our kindred to offer assistance. So we continue in our work. Now that the big holiday season is upon us, things are really getting busy so I'm gonna remember that 'prayer' someone posted here because people are still just too wacked out for me somedays.

good morning all, i don't usually allow myself to get too sentimental, but this was sent to me by my baby sister (not a jw) and upon reflection, i wondered if i got so wrapped up in myself that i often forget about the concerns of others.
alfie .
heavenly father, help us remember that the jerk who cut us off in traffic last night .
That was very nice, thanks. I'll try to remember this as I go about my day shaking my head in disgust with most adults I see wondering around in some kind of mental fog. I think we humans do forget to live in the moment.
Time to stop and smell the roses.
granny
first, thank you, lucy, for replying to my other post regarding my wedding.. it was a very tough and rough to reach "the wedding ceremony".
as my mother-in-law put it, "it was a struggle".
some of you may know my story from my previous posts.
Congratulations. Yes, enjoy your new found freedom. Gosh, a whole new beginning...how exciting for you. That's cool.

i am beginning to wonder if there is some kind of physical brain wiring that makes some people more likely to accept religion, even when believing in a certain supernatural paradigm presents numerous absurdities.
christians seem to be able to convince themselves of the following: .
) the god described in the bible is real, yet the god(s) of other religions are not (a variation: other religions are satanic deceptions).
Ah, Christians! Their minds are made up. What they have, everyone should have or else miss out on sooooo much.
And of course God is always described in the male gender...oh well, "live and let live." Just leave me the heck alone. I've had enough religion to last me many life times, and I'll just go with what makes me happy. And, accept full responsibility for my decision, thank you very much.

even syria voted against iraq by voting for the un resolution.
wow!
and china did not abstain as they have in the past ... the full 15 member sercurity council gave the usa/uk what they want ... while there are no automatic military triggers, the resolution does allow for unilateral action by member states if iraq continues "material breach" which is significant language in un speak.
