  QUOTE OF THE DAY: IT'S OK TO CRY

  by nvrgnbk in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  crying doesnt make me any less of a man, said the 1-12 commander, lt. col. morris goins, who tears up as he recounts how one of his soldiers drowned in a canal, trapped in his bradley fighting vehicle.

  to not show emotion, youre an idiot, or youre living a pipe dream.

  if someone were to tell me not to show emotion, id hit them in the lip..

  NBC News shows no integrity

  by M.J. in

  i'm pretty upset after watching the crap on msnbc last night.. they kept milking the story about their package from that psycho, constantly flashing his photos and videos on the screen--just the way he envisioned it.. repeatedly the psychological experts they interviewed told them that this course of action would only serve to encourage others.. meanwhile they interview the president of nbc news, who talked about the "careful" consideration about what to do with the contents of the package, deciding to "immediately" turn it over to investigators.

  (but apparantly not until they copied some of the videos and photos).. for their rationale on their decision to air these materials, all they could offer was, "if we didn't do it, some tabloid would have done it".

  they were the only ones that got the stuff!.

  The next phsyco is watching, he doesn't know he is, yet his plan is to beat 32 dead.

  Sorry folk's, that's life and we thank the media for bringing it to us!

  My condolences to those who have lost someone recently and in the future.

  this is a popular one, and i'm intentionally rewording it in the hopes that it can't be easily google'd.

  (hopefully i won't also screw it up!

  let's say i'm in a generous mood, and i invite you to choose from three cardboard boxes in my living room.

  I would stay with my first choice. I have never been given a second chance if I was right the first time. It doesn't make sense.

  Billy Graham was returning to Charlotte after a speaking engagement and when his
  plane arrived there was a limousine there to transport him to his home.. As he
  prepared to get into the limo, he stopped and spoke to the driver.
  
  "You know" he said, "I am 87 years old and I have never driven a limousine.
  Would you mind if I drove it for a while?"
  
  The driver said, "No problem. Have at it." Billy gets into the driver's seat and
  they head off down the highway. A short distance away sat a rookie State Trooper
  operating his first speed trap.
  
  The long black limo went by him doing 70 in a 55 mph zone. The trooper pulled
  out and easily caught the limo and he got out of his patrol car to begin the
  procedure.
  
  The young trooper walked up to the driver's door and when the glass was rolled down, he was surprised t o see who was driving.
  
  He immediately excused himself and went back to his car and called his
  supervisor. He told the supervisor, "I know we are supposed to enforce the
  law... But I also know that important people are given certain courtesies. I
  need to know what I should do because I have stopped a very important person."
  
  The supervisor asked, "Is it the governor?" The young trooper said, "No, he's
  more important than that." The supervisor said, "Oh, so it's the president." The
  young trooper said, "No, he's even more important than that."
  
  The supervisor finally asked, "Well then, who is it?"
  
  The young trooper said, "I think it's Jesus, because he's got Billy Graham for a
  chauffeur!

  I drew pictures on the inside covers of my bible, over the dinosaurs, and in my song book. I had dinosaurs eating Adam and Eve. I daydreamed a lot and slept with my eye's open. I chewed my fingernails and when they were gone I chewed a layer of skin off all my finger tips. I sometimes grabbed strands of hair and pulled them out. Thirty minutes into each meeting I purposely went to the bathroom. In my teen years I knew it was irritating the have someone bump your seat while you were sitting, so I would intentionally do it to some one in front of me at least once just for some reaction. I was a writer even then and I wrote many thing's I didn't want my dad to see. Of all the challenges I have sought or accepted, the kingdum hall was one I had to endure.

  My wife was disqualified from donating to the Red Cross because she was underweight. Can you imagine a woman being depressed because she was underweight? I can because I lived it.

  I never heard any questions about tattoo's. I was asked when I had my last cigarette and I had to wait an extra 20 minutes before they would take my blood. Something about body temperature. My blood is very popular so I donate when the need is/may be high. Hurricane Katrina was the last time.

  Writing and photography courses are great. I took writing and plan to do it again in the fall. I also took stained glass and I am now set up to do it at home.

  Crumpet, I missed something on the Vegas trip. ?. I was talking to a Texan friend of mine and he informed me that it was still legal to shoot people who trespass on your land between the hours of sunset and sunrise. Be careful where you wander after dark and have a good trip.

  It's a very slow site IMO. Hard to navigate too. I still don't know how to e-mail someone privately there. I was hoping to find a meetup close to my area in the northeast USA. A ten hour drive was the best I could find.

  A few tidbits of knowledge from my congregation

  by TooBad TooSad in

  2. friends

  when one comes to the realization that the wtbs is not even close to being the true religion,.

  sitting thru the mind numbing and butt numbing meetings can be painful and unbearable.

  thru them by laughing to myself at what is said from the platform and from the audience.

  I remember the butt numbing meeting's, I learned how to sleep with my eye's open.

  1. Was he a democrat or a republican when he was voted in?

  2. I go to Dunkin Donut's 1.5 miles from my house and pass four church's. The nearsest kingdum hall is 20 miles.

  3. Proof that when religion becomes unbelievable, people turn to drug's and then become JWs because it's FREE rehab.

  4. Suicide is quicker if you want to escape the wickedness and pain experienced in life.

  5. There not angels. They are survivors from Revelation 18:2

  5A. Excuse MY rant, I'm on my fourth beer this morning. Who luvs ya?
