I will admit to being materialistic.Thats why I work my ass off.
What is hypocritical is the envy and jealousy directed at you by dubs when you achieve a measure of material possessions.
The Elders in my hall almost avoid me. Not that I'm complaining.
Does make you question the whole brotherly love, natural affection claim.

"Want to get out of going to meetings with her? Make a deal, for every meeting you attend she must attend a church of your choice (hour for hour). Problem solved..."
Unless she calls your bluff. Then it's back to 3 meetings a week for you. ( Plus another church until January)
Now that would be FUNNY!!!! -

by Witness 007 inwhats the deal.
i moved to a new congregation and wanted to slowly each weekend invite all the brothers over to get to know them.
the drill was we had a barbie with red wine and music.

I'm in the same boat.
Moved to a new hall a four years ago. Have had over half the hall over for meals.
Been invited to just 2 families homes.

Did you ever really have true blue friends being a Witness?
by Cheetos inlooking back i don't think i really ever had any good friends being witness, cause if i would have some out of all those people and so called friends i thought i had, you would think one of them would have looked me up over the years.
what a farce.

When I was active, Most of my childhood friends were overwhelmed with jealousy at my career success.
Now I would say the only ones who still consider me friends will ignore me once they find out my stance. -

750 billion bailout plan
by loosie inok i am not a major in economics but i have a better idea than bailing out the major companies who lay off workers anyway.
i don't see how that is goign to help the economy.. there are 301,139,947 people in the us according to the gov library.
if you divide 750 billion by the population of the us you get 2.49 million dollars.

There was a similar e-mail being sent around 2 months ago where the math was wrong.
The real # would be not much more than we got from Bush last year and that did nothing. -

I mean that it is all paper.
The people getting it don't see more than a ledger sheet.
If the ledger sheet goes negative it feels far different than you or I losing everything we have.
The people receiving this money also have very little personal responsibility for it.
As evidenced by the Auto industry, they only decided to sell their plans after congress gave them grief about it.
There was no sense of financial responsibility prior to them being shamed.
You or I would have made changes in our lifestyle long ago because our money is real.
