New Light on Higher Education
by seeitallclearlynow inmy son made a point to tell me that they had what was to him a very interesting, different talk on the service meeting this week.
the presiding overseer gave a talk on the society's changed view of getting a college education.. he used the scripture which admonishes the reader to "acquire a heart of wisdom" and applied it to getting a 4 year college education for the sake of being able to support oneself at double the rate of pay with one's degree upon graduation.
this of course is only for the purpose of being able to then pioneer, only having to work a few days a week, thereby having the time for the field ministry.. such an annoying change - finally!

Has anyone ever personally written to the Society?
by seeitallclearlynow ini've been listening to marlene mercado's audio testimony on jwinfoline while reading and posting here today; and it reminded me that i had written to the society once, years ago, and i received a response.
the response made me angry with them, although they were agreeing with me on something that i was complaining about.
what made me angry was that they made no acknowledgment that they put a lot of pressure on the brothers to reach out and even after they have attained an office of oversight, a lot more pressure is put on the elders and servants to do more, do just so, etc....they claimed that it was my elder husband's own fault that he was barely ever home, and when he was, he was in his den or on the phone with someone who couldn't make any decisions on their own.

Son came home last night with a new "Faux-hawk" haircut - I LOVE IT
by seeitallclearlynow inthat's right - he's been needing a haircut and laughingly said as we parted ways to go to our respective salons, "mom, we seem to basically have the same hairstyle right now.
" lol!
it was true - we both needed a new "do".

The Society's Videos
by seeitallclearlynow inwhat does everybody think of the various videos produced by the society?
i have one in particular in mind that i could not stand even while i was still "in".
had a really "bad attitude" when i tried to watch it in preparation for one of the service meetings in that series when they were covering some of the videos.

I Give Up - Where Can I Find Some Good Beef?
by seeitallclearlynow in.
folks, i know that good tasting steaks and ground beef exist - all the years of my youth and when i was raising my family, beef tasted great.
now no matter where i buy it, whole foods, ralph's kosher, black angus, etc, the beef tastes downright nasty.. vons has pretty good beef, and i haven't tried an actual meat market, but where do you find good beef?

Insider info given to me by a very loyal, long time brother
by seeitallclearlynow inas mentioned in the topic title, a very active, very positive, "faithful" brother talked to me out of the blue at work last week.
it was a highly unusual opportunity - i happened to be in a secluded area, captive to my task, and i saw him passing so said hello.. he's a wonderful person with a well-known, fantastic sense of humor, known all over the circuit and district.
former pioneer, elder, fill-in c.o.

You know you haven't had enough sleep when....
by seeitallclearlynow in.
...you pick up your coffee cup and at the same time pop your earrings into your mouth as if they were vitamins you were going to take.. ...you then put one earring in and a couple seconds later when you go to put on the back, you're confused about why there is already an earring in your ear.... nightmares sure do interfere with the sleep pattern i see.. sheese!
lol well, i'll take a nap after work!.

A Pic of my son - really this time - tell me if you can see it?
by seeitallclearlynow inwell, this is obviously rupert everett, but when i ran across this pic of him while playing fmz's "gimme" game here, i was surprised to find how much they resemble each other, from this distance, anyway.
same face shape, brow line, hairline, coloring, build, hair color, height (i think - he's 6' 3").
so you can just imagine him on the way to the convention (minus the cuff links).
