call me crazy or what, but theres a recurring issue that i have regarding my son's wish to wear his hat in the house.
i've never been certain regarding the reason men were to remove their hats when petitioning the almighty, the issue of headship and being respectful of it and the common custom in the west for a man to remove the hat upon entering one's home or church.
even in the military during basic training, the issue with regard to hats was a predominating theme, to the degree that we were taught that at the instant your head was no longer covered by a building of some sort, your hat was to be immediately placed upon your head, but once open sky no longer covered your head and you walked into a building of any type, that hat was to be removed !!
As anyone familiar with the military knows, hats off indoors (unless under arms). I remember my drill sergeant telling me "The same goes for when you're in civies! If I see any o' you sons of bitches out 'n about with a hat on inside, I'm gonna smoke the shit outta you!! I don't give a shit where you are!!!
I should say that these aren't exact quotes, he did use the f word about 14 times in those 3 sentences.
was reading the older posts and noticed a christmas display with smurfs, why don't jw's like smurfs?
i guess i wasn't informed about that one.
Here's a thought: Smurfs, as a few of you know originated in Belgium, a french speaking country (Les Schtroumpfs). The Smurfs are also one of the more popular comic strips in France. Is it possible that this rumor of smurf demonism was encouraged by the borg itself in retaliation for France's attitude toward evangelical cults? And wouldn't France's tax levied on dubs qualify as retaliation against them for lost sales, wages, etc., resulting from the dub's ban on smurfs?
Anyone? Hmmm? Hmmm?
this could be a lot of fun!

i bought an atari 2600 off of ebay (you'd be surprised how cheap they are) and i hooked it up tonight and played some of my favorite games of old... pac man, combat, berzerk, donkey cong, frogger, etc... and guess what... they suck!
i thought i was going to go down memory lane, only i forgot just how bad those games were.
wow, i remember my dad paying over $100 for one of those when i was a kid... what the hell were we thinking??
you should have played the old commodore 64 games...Hardball was by far the best baseball game ever. The stuff they got today is too complicated.
I tried downloading the c64 programming with games to play on my pc, but to no avail. anyone have any suggestions on how to do that?

I bet they did some backward masking. Play it backwards and you'll hear:" Elders don't get chubbies after counselling married couples", or "All religions are stupid except for us", or how about "We never cover up sexual abuse by elders", better yet, "Education and self-improvement is a waste of time"
jehovah's witnesses are a nosy bunch.
they watch to see if anyone might be offending another person's conscience.
they listen for any negative comments that could bring "reproach on jehovah's name".
I have to admit, one will find those people all over-I don't think that there has one place of work that I have been where those types of people exist. Although I also admit that the borg's members have that extra element of moral superiority. "If they don't shape up, they're not going to be in the new system!!!"---

bet you never knew i was a problem drinker, huh?
well, it's true.
no, i'm not an alcoholic but i have been drinking too much and too frequently.
everything in moderation....even moderation
sorry about the double post, i had problems with the computer....
before i go into some parts of the program, here is the program for the following weekend.. .
circuit assembly program 2004-2005. .
sometimes I think to myself how wonderful it would be to go to the assembly and listen to this garbage in person.
then I would walk out laughing, and before I walk out the door, light up a cigarette and yell out "you guys are a bunch of knuckleheads".
I don't know, there's dozens of scenarios I run through in my mind. maybe I just have too much free time...
the new testament only records the execution of two christians, annanias, and sapphira his wife.. they lied about the amount of money they made when they sold their field, and secretly kept some of the price back.. acts 5 tells the story.... acts 5. .
1 but a certain man named ananias, with sapphira his wife, sold a possession, 2 and kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet.
3 but peter said, ananias, why hath satan filled thine heart to lie to the holy ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?
I really never cared for the apostle Paul (pummeling his body and leading it as a slave and all). He seemed to go 'beyond the teachings'. Who's to say he didn't inflate the account of Ananias and Saphira?
the only jw i still have contact with is my mother, mainly due to the fact that she is close with my 12-yr old son.
she is single (divorced actually), cleans for a living, if that's what you can call it and has no other children.
while she doesn't shun me per se, she certainly isn't overly friendly and keeps most of our communication limited to grandkid info.
I'd take her in, it's good for your kharma
