  If I were never a witness I would've. . . .

  . . . taken school, my grades, more seriously. I would have moved from my parents and gone to that college in Colorado to become a Mechanical engineer. I would have been able to date that worldly girl that really liked me a lot, the one who I wanted to ask out all through out middle and high school, the same one who went to that school and is now a Civil Engineer. I would not have married the first witness sister that said "hi" to me at age 19, who is now the material of my nightmares, who can find any microscopic flaw and magnify it to the size of a mountain, who has a dozen bro. and sis. that don't work and that rely on my paycheck to make it. I would have less stress in my life. I would have better health, because I would not have attemped to take my own life by drinking antifreeze. I would have hobbies and a life. I would have true friends. Thats about all that I can think of right now.

  In town witnessing . . .A young brother and I were in service on Halloween day and we got candy at nearly every door. Out here cargroups made up of young brothers were often spent four wheeling on hills in and out of town (because most of the service cars here are jeeps and four door trucks). When I worked with my parents we usually spent the service morning at garage sales in and around our territory and calls.

  Witnessing on the Navajo Reservation . . . Well nothing is like working the rural territory of Hiway 666 (its now renamed to hiway 241, I think). Out there its not called door to door, its Hogan to Hogan. It was always a lot of fun spending and entire day driving through streams, valleys, hills and desserts (hence the reason for the 4X4 service cars) only to do a dozen doors. It was always nice to drive by the Shiprock, through the Lava Wall, in the badlands, to get to Red Mesa. A beautiful valley where the dirt is made up af different shades of red and pink. I remember at one group of homes coming back to the car and there was a goat standing on the roof of the car. Forget mean dogs, keep away from the geese. Once our cargroup was able to climb part of the Shiprock (the remaining core of an inactive volcano), which is a big no no, a federal offence, because it is very sacret.

  No, I did not have A LOT freinds, fiends maybe, but not friends. Growing up in the Borg, many of the young ones ignored me. Now that we all a little older the only difference is that they are now ignoring me as married couples.

  I can say that I only had 2 true friends. One moved away and the other got df and married. I thought that I was doing the right thing by shunning him. I feel so bad. One of the people that didn't ignore me that treated me like a human and I shunned him the second he was df. However, since January I have contacted him and we have been catching up on lost time (4 years or so).

  While living at home, we would usually stay up and watch the ball drop. All of us in our PJ's eating ice cream yelling at the TV "5, 4, 3, 2, 1 yeah!!!" And then be in bed by 12:05.

  The last time I was at my parents New Years Eve was in 1999. We were all a little worried about the big Y2K bug. We were waiting for something big to happen, like the power going out right at midnight. We had some of the high school teachers telling us that it was the end of technology as we know it. Electricity, water, gas, traffic lights, cars, food were all going to be affected. Stock up now with food, water and batteries. Take your money out of the bank. Run for the hills, Y2K is coming.

  No Nabisco? That means no Oreos, Ritz Crackers, Cheese Nips, or Chips Ahoy. I've never heard of that before, but I'm not surprised anymore. A couple months of reading posts on this board and you learn a lot.

  As far as working for a church, my parents were in a similar situation a few years ago. My parents needing the $ and a Catholic Church needed their floors striped and waxed. They talked to other brothers about it and found out that it would be ok if they were contracted for the job through a worldy company, rather than bidding themselves. Parents decided not to do it because in reality they would be working in the church either way.

  announced our circuit overseer last night in his talk about the urgency to preach because of the times.

  followed by a silence that was broken with ohhhs and ahhhs.

  he said that a couple of times throughout his part, simulating a beating heart with his fist.

I don't think that I have ever heard the message about the upcoming doom of nearly all life put quite like that. His comments bothered me but what disturbs me more is that almost everyone there seemed all too happy about it.

  I don't know, what do you all think. Have you heard comments like that mentioned from the platform?

  "It?s the end of the world as we know it (and I feel fine)" by R.E.M. running through my head now.

  I better get back to work
