Uh oh. Is Prince setting an example for witnesses to follow?
by catchthis inhttp://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20040504/ap_en_ce/music_prince&e=1
can anyone read between the lines here?
while prince stresses he holds no bitterness, he clearly does not hold the music industry with much regard.

Were you ever "rewarded" for your faithful service?
by Jonty Parkin in"rewards" for faithful service sometimes used to come in the most unlikely manner.
to illustrate; the "privillege" of being a young microphone handler occasionally yielded its wholesome dividends of an unexpected nature.
for example, when i was once on microphone duty as a young aspirant ministerial slave, i was rewarded with an edifying flash of theocratic tit when a sister leant forward to give her comment.

When Smart People Do Really Dumb Things
by Euphemism inharvard professor weldong xu has confessed to raising $600,000 on the false pretense that the money would fund sars research in china.
his reason?
he wanted the money to invest in a nigerian e-mail scam.. obviously, scientific knowledge does not necessarily translate into common sense...

Asking for money on the doors.
by Jonty Parkin inwhile i was still a faithful slave of the organisation in the uk, a change came into effect that must have broken their corperate righteous heart!.
because of some law to do with registered charities and solicited contributions, the wts in britain were forced to make all of their publications (including videos and cassettes) available at no cost.
cool!

Did you ever experience "Joy"?
by Pork Chop inone thing that always struck me was the rather dour nature of the organization.
i know people laugh, and at seem to have a good time, at least occasionally.
however, one thing i just haven't seen is a real outpouring of joy, like david dancing like a crazy man or some of the other occassions in the scriptures when it seems like people were almost overcome with joy.. anyone here ever feel real joy as a witness?

Worried about work :S
by Elsewhere into give everyone a brief history.... i started a 4 to 6 month contract to hire position in early feb. the hope is that i will eventually become a permanent employee.
a few weeks ago i had a little chat with my supervisor asking him how things were looking for me to become a perm employee... he responded that there was currently a hireing freeze that was just put into place and i needed wait.
he added an ominous comment that i could look for perm work elsewhere if i wanted... but added that i was doing a great job.. today i came into work to find two new *perm* employees setting up in their work areas .
