i have three children and a wife who at times has severe back problems.
i have worked two jobs just to stay ahead of the bills and provide for my family.
Dear Frenchy, I'm sure most men would give a massage, being men and all.
I guess what got my undivided attention was that SC PAID another person to give HIS WIFE a massage, along with an afternoon with her friends, and he actually took care of the kids for her at the same time.
Come on.......is this guy great or what?
sc, (cont'd).
(didn't mean to start a new post, man i'm really messed up this morning!).
and then there is this statement in km 3/85 p.4 remember that all mankind not serving jehovah are "alienated" from god and so are considered "enemies.
Dear Frenchy, without entering this discussion, I felt that the Society's quote from this Watchtower was worth printing out, which I did.
Thank you.

Tomcat or Missy?
Whenever a roaming feline comes to my house (in the country) I get a litter of kittens.
However, when a roaming tom comes to my house - I get a litter of kittens, too.
What's with cats? Welcome here - come stay awhile!

Hey, SevenofNine,
I noticed that Sevenoften, shortened, is 7. So, to distinguish the two poster, I'll call you by your computer given name. Couldn't pick a short one, huh?
Friend made a comment somewhere that he had looked at all the sections that were in this forum and had deduced that Bible Discussion was just that. And....if posters wanted to do other things beside discuss.....he assumed they would go elsewhere besides Bible Discussion.
Never thought of it so black/white - but it's a good point. Perhaps we can explore Simon's forum more? See ya (and good to hear from ya!).
for anyone who's ever written something of a private nature or asked clarification on certain beliefs have you ever had the unfortunate experience of the elders calling you in the back room or a sheperding call ?.
the reason i bring this out is that newer brothers or sisters don't know that everytime you write the society the society sends a copy of your letter to your local cong.
elders.
Why, yes, Friend, I do feel better. Thank you for asking.

Dear Path,
Friend has put forth a good argument on taxation. So has Red Horse and yourself, Frenchy and myself and others. We all have opinions - they are all valid, are they not?
This is a sticky situation - not because of the taxation laws - but because of the religious ethics touched upon. We all agreed, from the very beginning, that no laws were broken by WTBTS and the other religious organizations filing the Friends of the Court brief. Everyone was looking out for their own tax benefits - legally.
In my opinion, whenever a lawyer touches religion, and whenever a religion touches law - ramifications occurr.
Not everyone agrees with the ramifications. Even lawyers don't agree - and they, presumably, know the laws. Why should we have to agree? No laws were broken. We all agree. Ethics, they're opinions, aren't they? And everyone has one.
Perhaps that's the answer. We just agree to disagree - being civil.

dear truthbknown,.
don't be so afraid to let the truthbknown!
devoting yourself to men and their rules puts you in a precarious position with jehovah.
Dear Carmel,
Oh, thank you for saying that my not-actual-quote wording was not worth getting into it over.
It's such a relief not to have to see my words in those little lines then remarked upon.
Your a good guy.
i have pioneered for over four years.
i have three children and a wife who at times has severe back problems.
i have worked two jobs just to stay ahead of the bills and provide for my family.
Seeing that people in the rest of the USA don't consider California mentality like theirs, this comment will be ok. At least in the redneck south.
I have never met two liberal men at the same time. It boggles my mind - words leave this woman.
At least one of you is lying.
That's my opinion, and I'm sticking to it.
okay, it appears that some of you are venturing forth onto the literary scene.
i feel it my obligation to present to you a few basic faux pas that should be avoided if you are going to survive in this very volatile environment.
today, the emphasis is on being politically correct.
Hey, 7!!!!!!!
Good to see from you, girl! I'm not good at the stuff Frenchy does - you better get your skills ready......

Hey, Friend,
Frenchy's our notable poet here. I note quotes:
"There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened."
Douglas Adams
Just because I don't want a teacher, doesn't mean I need a teacher. And even if I did need a teacher, I wouldn't choose you. I would look to someone who could teach without tearing down.
