are you a fan of harper lee's "to kill a mockingbird"?
i read the book as a child and have read it many times since.
miss lee obviously wrote the book to entertain us, and she accomplished that.
I purchased my Kindle version of the Watchman. Am about half way through. Forget for a minute the racism in the book, did you notice what she said about certified public accountants?
...Mr. Stone, except that he possessed all the necessary qualifications for a certified public accountant: He did not like people, he was quick with numbers, he had no sense of humor, and he was a butt-head.
As a CPA, I am highly offended.

j.w.org flags flying at the 2015 r.c.
in fribourg, switzerland..
I pledge allegiance t the flag
of the governing body of the society
and to the organization
for which it stands
One cult and a website. Indivisible
with misery and injustice for all.
the awake oct 2015 is now up on jw org.. one article talks about young adults returning to their parents home and tries to give them some advice.. one of the highlighted comments are these magical words.
<<remember, more important than what you do is becoming proficient at what you do.>>.
i don't see how it's more important to become more proficient in that window washing job than working towards a more interesting and better paying job.
hello, all.... i posted something here under 'friends' but i couldn't find a way to change it to 'experiences'.
sorry for the inconvenience.. brian.
would it really affect them?
how would it affect volunteers at any construction project since that work would now be taxable.
any materials they buy would be taxable.

because of the may broadcast about how funds are down, our elders have been in their talks "encouraging" or pressuring everyone to donate more to the world wide work.. it freaks me out how we already give them a set amount of $600 a month, plus what is contributed by the congregation(usually $400 to $500 a month).
heck, our local congregation bank account even got below $500 for the first time this past may since i have been doing the accounts(4 years now).
for june, we raised a whopping $2400 to send into the branch.. the most amazing part, is that only a select few contribute on a regular basis every month.
So why is there the push for money? The simple answer is because the strategy works.
after mentally awakening to the idea that jws don't have the truth i strangely found myself delving into all encompassing conspiracy theories.
not that i believed them but something about them seemed quite fascinating.
i was especially drawn to the idea of a new world order/one world government.
The greatest conspiracy theory ever told id the one where the great Jehovah allows a Satan power over the world. Thus, everything we do is a part of this overall battle for the vindication of god's name.
If you can believe that you can believe anything.
personally i think this is wonderful.
i have nothing against gay people and wish them only the best.. but of course i'm in a minority of one, the jw's around me are posting away on fb the most homophobic vitriol imaginable.
a lot of them are even saying that it's the start to armageddon!!.
This is just one more proof hat the end is very near. Don't buy any green bananas; that is how close we are.
Well, maybe not...
i was considering getting another copy of one of ray's books and was shocked about the market value.
is ray's book worth $1,000?
perhaps, but it is a bit shocking.
