Using a stamp with an American Flag on it.
I said, "Well, what about money??? It ALSO has an American Flag on it."
I was told, "Well, THERE you have a choice."
But not really.
There are some coins that don't have a flag on it.
So technically, you could stop using money and use only coins...

My family is very helpful to me.
I've been a dub for 15 years and just now started celebrating birthdays, etc.
The other day, it was my mom's birthday.
My dad calls me up, and said, "Did you forget your mom's birthday."
I told him yes. Then he says, call up your mom.
So... Here I was, hanging up with my dad who called me on the cell phone.
I call my mom on the home phone 2 seconds later. And my dad answers "OH!!! HELLO!!!"
Making it seem like I just called.
It was pretty funny. -

Swearing on the platform
by sleepy indid you every hear anyone say something really dodgy from the platform when giving a talk?
i heard a couple of stories of people getting really enthusiastic when giving a talk or pray accidently swearing.
one time in my book study group a sister called someone a dickhead in her answer, it was very hard not to laught.

Personally I never have.
But it was one of my greatest fears. Me doing it, that is.
Actually, now that I think about it.
I once heard the C.O. say Shit and he recovered really fast. Kind of said shoot instead.
It was during a meeting for field service that he said it. -

I remember one WT on Greed.
A few days before, some young kid died in a freak bungy jumping accident.
Anyway, by Sunday, it was front page news that the parents were sueing the bungy jumping operation.
Bottom line was, some goof in the audience raises their hand - brought up that incident and said, "See. That's greed (that they were sueing). -

Hey guys,
Just wanted to take the time to give my 2 cents here.
For 10 years, I've neglegted my family.
For the "sake of the truth," I would have my family revolve around THE WT MEETING schedule when they would visit.
Many times, they would make long trips (over 12 hour drive) to my home just so I could say, "Can't do this, because of bookstudy - or can't do this because of that meeting."
Well, this is my first family visit since I've stopped going to the meeting.
WOW!!! I've really been missing out.
We cooked Blue Crabs. We drank beer.
I play "karate" fight with my 6 year old Nephew.
They played X-Box.
I tell you, it's so different because everyone is themselves - rather than this "fakeness" of putting on a front of being "Holy."
So much lost time!!! -

...they neither marry, nor are given in marriage...
by Tashawaa inone of the hardest doctrines of the witnesses that i couldn't wrap my little brain around, was the teaching that the resurrected would not marry.. i remember one assembly, a whole talk was spent on the resurrection, and emphasis was placed on the fact that they would not marry.
the couple sitting in front of me (obviously a happy couple, 'cause this distressed them) whispered how they just couldn't believe it.. here's the scripture they use to back their doctrine:.
matt 22:22-33 specifically vs 30 "for in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as angels in heaven...".

Best South Park episode, cast your vote
by DanTheMan ini have only been watching sp for the past year or so, so i'm sure there's a lot of episodes i haven't seen, and i'm obviously a little late getting on the bandwagon.
but a couple of weekends ago they did a "25 most outrageous episodes" thing, and one of the episodes was where cartman had this j-lo hand puppet where he recorded songs and did some *ahem* other things involving ben affleck.
i don't remember laughing at anything so hard in my life.. oh, and of course the episode with mr. hankey and his drunken, verbally abusive wife.. so what's your fave?

Dan the Man,
