i want to head down south a bit where it is warmer and not to far away from the ocean.
definately on the east coast... i don't want to live in nowhereville but i don't want to live right smack in the middle of a city like boston or new york either... any ideas?
Layla33: "About Georgia, aren't they experiencing a severe water drought? I'm just curious."
Yep. They are. Something about an environmental law to protect the habitiat of some endangered mussel downstream in Florida.
Keeps them releasing water from the lake. That is a major cause for the problem, that and piss-poor planning on the part of city developers allowing
uncontrolled building over the last 20 years.
I'm all for protecting animals...but not at the irrational expense of people.

some women i have known speak of their desire to have the person they marry to also be their best friend.......other's relate that they already.
have a best friend in the form of a longtime girlfriend, and would rather have their husband be their "husband".
so.....which is ladies?
"Are you sure your 37 years old?"
I'm not sure if I should be offended or flattered..........

or is it another control bs thing.
also anyone figure out why they are suddenly calling themselves christian congregation of jehovah's witnesses?
they seem to be really emphasizing they are the christian congregation of jehovah's witnesses a lot recently.. .

i remember an elder once giving a talk about technology.
he asked what kind of warped mind thinks and designs this stuff.
some even get a thrill from it.
Yep, it seems that with every technological advance, the WTS has to slam it in some fashion. I've noticed that, while these things used to be accused of being SATANIC, it seems that nowadays, the emphasis is put on how it "takes away time" from serving God ......the bOrg.
Personally, although I COULD live without all my tech.....I would'nt want to. God gave us a brain for a reason. We should'nt be criticized for using it.

i thought it would be fun if we all shared some of our best ways of circumventing our field service time.
i have some funny ones and then interesting one where i realized what a lot of the higher ups were doing in the "field" service.. my best one was with my brother and i, when they made us "work together" and went to different streets.
we would go to one door, walk real slow and not do another door on that street, not one.
"What I learned when hanging out with the PO one time and I can't recall how this happened is that he would go out with the group, chat with a few, have breakfast and take as long as they wanted, and then come back and that was it."
Layla33, I agree with that one. Want to fluff in the mininstry? Hang with an elder, or better yet, a circuit overseer.
They have so many built-in excuses for cutting it short, it's ridiculous.

i'm sure everyone remembers the "stellar" prayers that are offered from the platform before the start of the meetings.
at one point, it was customary for the brother to pray that jehovah "hasten the feet" of those on their way to the meetings.
after all, with family responsibilities etc.
I remember it being said that "to be late for the meetings was a sign of selfishness"....being more concerned with how you spend "your" time rather
than "giving" it to others at the hall through fellowship.............well, count me selfish then.

Do women REALLY want their husbands to be their best friends, talking of their fears, hopes, and desires?.....OR does this have the unfortunate
effect of taking the "mystery" and "strong, silent type" aspect away..... and eventually, your interest in your husband?
Please help educate me. I welcome any response...

Yep. Them crazy Chinese do this last year WITHOUT notifying anyone, leaving the space equivalent of the EXXON VALDEZ......and THEN bitch about US doing the same thing. At least our pieces are football sized and will burn up in the atmosphere.
Go figure.
