World Cup 2010 - I cant wait!
by lepermessiah ini am so excited for this weekend...... any predictions on winners, players to watch, etc?.
the usa/england match will be interesting.. the media in the states is trying to rile up people by showing the liverpool fans who burned the us flag.. http://msn.foxsports.com/foxsoccer/worldcup/story/american-flag-burning-by-liverpool-fans-should-incense-yanks.
frankly, from what i can tell, american ownership has been a bad thing in the premiership.

Did your congregation have "Talent" Shows?
by lepermessiah ini saw this video on youtube and didnt know if i should laugh or crawl into the fetal position.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abm0t-qhllc&feature=related.
.
we had several "talent" shows over the years in my original congregation - it was the only annual gathering more nauseating that the meetings.. my friend and i would always bring our walkmans and blare heavy metal in the back - hoping to block out the embarassing crap on the stage.you always had a few older ones get up on stage and slaughter a kingdumb song.

John Wooden (1910-2010) The basketball coach of OUR generation!
by lepermessiah injohn wooden passed away at the age of 99 - he was a great coach and seemed like a true gentleman!.
he retired way before i started watching sports, so i never saw him coach.. http://sports.espn.go.com/los-angeles/news/story?id=5253601.
now - if another john wooden was born yesterday and lived to be 99, the end might come in 2110. .

Has anyone had a WT literature burning party?
by lepermessiah ini keep staring at the bookshelf full of wt literature in my house and keep having visions of a red-orange glow as the flames crawl higher and higher.
my goal is to gather it all together, douse it with lighter fluid, and watch it go!.
ultimately, i dream of my wife being the one who strikes the match and joins me in the celebration.. has anyone had that experience?

30 minute C.O. talk against the phrase "Take It Easy"
by lepermessiah inmy buddy and i were recalling some of the worst talks we ever heard.. one classic we remembered was one by a new c.o., who gave this talk on his first visit.. the guy was an arrogant tool, and he thought he was the voice of god.. we couldnt remember the title, but all we remember was a 30 minute rant against the phrase "take it easy".
we thought it was supposed to be talk encouraging pioneering, but it quickly took a turn for the worse....... "we often hear worldly people use the phrase "take it easy" - as christians, we do not take it easy!".
"we should never hear the phrase "take it easy" here at the kingdom hall".

Anyone watch USA vs Czech Republic game last night?
by lepermessiah ini am so tired of usa soccer.. i keep waiting for this giant step forward, but the national team has been stuck in neutral for years now.. ever since the excitement of 1994, i have been expecting a gradual improvement on the world stage.. everytime they play a quality opponent, they get exposed as a 2nd rate team.
it has been that way for years.the defense last night was horrific, and even though they scored twice against petr cech, both goals were from sloppy set-pieces.. the commentators last night even suggested before the match that the usa has a golden opportunity vs england in the first round of the world cup.....yeah right.
i remember the same chatter in 1998 against germany, and germany annihilated them (score was not indicative of the domination) you can throw the rankings out the window - the usa is still not a player on the big stage.. (now watch them come out blazing in the wc2010 - lol).

this book was published in 1969. notice what mr. rogerson (a non-jw) observed in his research.. .
jehovah's witnesses do not expect the literal destruction of the.

Any cases you know of where an active JW donated blood?
by lepermessiah ini am so curious about that topic.. i would love a committee to drag someone in the back room to disfellowship them for giving blood, and then hope that the person simply says "well, i wanted my blood to be used to donate fractions for my brothers and sisters!".
