what the heck is wrong with some ppl?
i went to get lunch at my normal place, everyone there is hispanic and they all speak english.
today i walk in and start to order my food in english but the girl that was there to take my order replied in spanish so i just started to speak in spanish.
You did the right thing, .. and you are the better person. Be proud of yourself.
It reminded me of a sister in our hall my wife enjoys visiting. She is overweight and she knows it. At lunch one time she was at
a mall and wanted to try a Cinna-bun (spelling?) ... the guy standing behind her said: "Do you think you really need that?"
She through it away never ate it and broke down in tears. Has not had one ever. Its too bad .. she really is a nice person.

i was musing about being a jw the other day.im not scarred by it like many,i dont hate anyone in my old cong..theres a couple of idiotic elders of course,but in the main my biggest thing when i think of my past life is the farsical nonsense of it all!.
meeting attendance,knocking on doors...oh dear.. one of the stupidest things was being required to do talks.i mean,come on who really used to listen to that drivel..i mean really listen?.
i was an ok speaker,nothing briliant,competent ..even gave a pub talk once when all the elders were on a jolly up at elders school.. it occurred to me how robotic bros and sis were when it came to giving praise!no matter how crap the talk was,one would always get a "i really enjoyed your talk brother".every time.without fail.i know they were being nice,i used to say it all the time too.my dad once said it to me and i asked him what he liked most about it?he admitted he didnt remember what it was even about.i dont remember in 30 years man and boy ever enjoying a talk.. yep,its a nonsense religion alright.full of braindead robots.. did anyone actually pay close attention and really enjoy the "food"from the platform?
This brought back a number memories
and I don't miss those words either.

this week's service meeting had a part about how wonderful and awesome the theocratic ministry school is.
one guy said "this is a school that has been going on since jesus walked the earth.
" .
LOL
Thats what I did when I read it. ... How did you not laugh out loud?
LOL
.
has anyone ever written a thick description of a witness meeting?.
i think i am going to give it a go.
slim.
repeat
Repeat
REPEAT
How many times do they say the word SOON?
comments you will not hear at the 09-17-06 wt study (august 1, 2006, pages 26-29)(be happy).
(1 timothy 2:5) for there is one god, and one mediator between god and men, a man, christ jesus?.
despite his busy schedule, paul was always eager to do more in jehovah?s service.. notice how using an ot example leaves jesus out of the picture.. [picture on page 29] fear of god is a precious heritage that parents can pass on to their children.
Great review
checked our plants today, will be picking when I get home.

(sorry hit enter a little early).
so, i looked at my cell phone today, and i had a voicemail from my mother.. i called my voicemail and listened to it:.
"hi richie, this is your mother, just wanted to say i hope you're doing ok, and i love you.
Richie
Yeah not good with the brainwashing.
Show her you want to be family...its the cult thats holding her back.
I sincerely feel so sorry for you...but I know first hand about the brain-washing.
if not today try to see her this week-end. Deep breath.

A New Friend ?
Always welcome....and a big Hello
i know of very few that would "dare" tell off a co but elders were different.
having been an elder for many years, it was very easy to go back and forth with a fellow elder and basically tell him he was dumb.
Proud to say:
Yes I have.
Could that ruin a reputation.?
.
how many houses have you sold?
what was your experience like?
did you have a realtor or not?
I have done both...fsbo and with a realtor
By yourself, .. should you get an offer, .. make sure you have a real estate attorney with a title company.
When you sign with a realtor, .. no more than 4 months, .. and, .. make sure they are "active" in the business.
I had the biggest dead-beat one time who was forcing the issue with me until I signed with him. Only to find
out her pushed for sale by owners, ... then sat back and let the co-brokes work on it and collect his half FOR DOING NOTHING.
I fired him, .. and had to let the final weeks of my 4 month contract run out.
