well, here in tx, it is almost 6am.. i have been up all night....i have had a lot of insomnia lately, ack...and since i went to bed really late friday(actually saturday morning about 5am) and didn't get up until the afternoon saturday, i figured it would be better to just stay up all night and try again to sleep like a normal human being sunday night.. ack....how about the rest of you?.

i am listening to tori amos and surfing the web in between loads of laundry hahah.

What a Prat!

this evening mrs ozzie and i went to our favorite local restaurant - it's out in the outer suburbs, a lovely small thai restaurant - well, any food eaten with chopsticks is okay with us!.

anyway, we entered and there at a middle table sat a family of three - father, mother and daughter.

nothing unusual about that except, well it was the badge card that caught my eye.

Uhhmmmm.

I see people walk around in suits on Saturday...... (mainly real-estate agents and people who work on saturday)

I don't see the problem ozzie, I walk around in my netball uniform on saturday, cause I go to the shops on the way home, people are like "ohh did you win today?"

the jw just wanted to eat lunch somewhere, i'm sure he didn't look that stupid, just stupid to you.

which JEHOVAH'S WITNESS SCARE TACTICS kept you from leaving?

by Ms. Whip in

meeting jehovah's witnesses at your door was a fresh, new experience.

they were nice, friendly and smiled real big.

along with your bible study you received an instant life.

I don't like the idea of being BIRD FOOD!!!!

Well, I am the sort of person who in the past placed trust in things, and in the end had my trust broken, it happened to me several times. Now I struggle to completely trust in something completely, I will never let my guard down again like I used to, i don't let myself get to deep into things.

So if i was to become a Jehovah's Witness and placed my trust, and fully trusted the organisation, I would be afraid to get kicked out, if I did I would emotionally fall apart, and may never trust again.......

I would be one of those Witnesses, if cornered and had my religion proved wrong, I would be totally ruined.

It's cool to live near a church

by Cygnus in

i don't go to church, but right now they're playing god bless america and i can hear it and it's just cool.

i like seeing the parisioners walking in and out when i drive by and seeing them fire up the huge grill on saturdays for cookouts.

just something i wanted to share this morning.

Evanescence

I live near a Catholic church

and further down the street is an Anglican church

One of my friends live down the street from Church of Christ

And...

Another one of my friends lives down the street from the Kingdom hall of Jehovah's Witnesses *she didn't know until I told her, and now she never hears the end of it from me! *
