  i was usually honest about my hours for the most part.

  but there was this one time..... i was auxiliary pioneering back in april of 2000. that was also the month we had planned to go down to south carolina to visit my brother, was living there at the time.

  the trip was the last week of the month.

  Throw your WT and Awakes in the garbage, believing that a homeless person will dig through your trash, read them, and count them as placements :)

  Witness to your pets for extra time. If you have no pets, then stuffed animals or invisible friends will do.

  Pin a tract on a cork board and multiply five minutes times the approximate number of people in the area.

  Someone on here mentioned the old tape it to your car window trick and drive around the city. Easy way to count time!

  Mail tracts to your MP (in Canada). Postage is free!

  Tape tracts to "postage paid" cards and stuff them in credit card envelopes. Just think of how many people you can reach for free!

  I've noticed something different at this years district convention

  not sure if this was the case elsewhere, but i noticed that the contribution boxes with the people attending them stayed out in the hall ways throughout the entire session.

  they used to be set up only before and after sessions and during lunch......times are tough!

  The WTS doesn't need contribution boxes. Jehovah will provide for his earthly organization :)

  found an interesting article by some Canadian guy with P133.

  Oh, you mean my old garage jukebox with the 4 DVD drives? :)

  BUMP

  I was out of town for the week, and it looks like my video's been getting a bit of help racing its way to the top! Keep the votes coming!

  BTW Black Sheep, I did some recording in an abandoned Personal Care Home with nice reverb. I'll probably be putting the song up on my blog in the next little while. It's a cover tune which I did NOT use a karaoke version for, and it sounds really nice. I already like it more than the original.

  Aw come on! It took 25 years for the WTS to put out new music. They're doing better than The Big Bopper, so give them a break.

  I read something somewhere that if your hard drive starts to fail, put it in a cold environment. I can't remember where I saw this, but a guy put his laptop in the fridge to get his HD up and running long enough to pull the data from it.

  Flash drives are somewhat touchy with their reliability. Apparently they're only good for a certain number of writes before they go kaput. That's why I have my OS and my music on seperate drives. The OS does more writes to the drive, but that may be debateable with the Linux OS since it runs in RAM and writes one backup file on shutdown. I'm mainly using a flash drive for reliability in Winter.

  Oh yeah, and BUMP. My video has fallen behind the guy who thinks LAMP environments are cool.

  Just finished listening to "Last Date" by Floyd Cramer. What a great tune! I also love Music Box Dancer and pretty much anything by The Ventures. Oh yeah, and don't forget Nadia's Theme. Regardless of it being a theme song for a soap opera, I love the song.

  What are your favorite instrumentals?

  Friday night is usually a relaxing night for me. I'll sit back, watch some TV, sit on the net, have a beer, then goto bed.

  Saturday morning, I'm up bright and early. I get my little boy up and we go Garage Saling. We stop around noon, get some McDonalds, and head home. The afternoon is usually spent doing yardwork or something outside. In the evening, I get all cleaned up and go sing Karaoke.

  Sunday is house cleanup day. Laundry, dishes, yardwork, and usually grocery shopping.

  Theocratic parental horror stories

  so i am reading my new favorite book "i'm perfect, you're doomed" and the flashbacks have started.

  this book is like my childhood all over again.

  anywho, it reminded me of the horror stories my parents would create.

  My mother's favorite saying was "Don't do it for me, do it for Jehovah." Whenever she needed me to do something, I had to do it for Jehovah. When I didn't want to go door to door, she'd give me that line.

  I remember the Saturday morning I didn't want to get out of bed and go in field service. My mother told me "Don't do it for me, Do it for Jehovah." This particular morning, I didn't feel like doing it for Jehovah. She came back and said, "Let me put it this way, do it or else you're going to GET IT."

  Right then I knew doing it for Jehovah was all bullshit.

  Most Detested WT Publication

  by Nosferatu in

  2. friends

  what is the wt publication you hated the most (i mean besides all of them?).

  mine was that faggy pink "listening to the great teacher" book.

  my mother tried to teach both me and the neighbor's worldly kid lessons from that book, and you know how embarrasing it is for a boy to be put straight by a pink book?.

  i

  just manage to get the new greatest teacher book with all it's new illustrations not pink anymore and very good for kids.

  
  
  WTF? Are you smoking crack Reniaa?
  
  Great for kids my ass. I absolutely LOVE the "Just ignore the bully and he'll probably leave you alone" advice. I did that and I continued to get my shit kicked in. Not only that, more bullies joined in on the fun.
  
  As for the Revelation book, yeah it got rehashed a lot, but I actually like the messed up pictures in it. Perhaps I should track down another copy of it for blog fodder.
