  So, is Hortensia the mediator now? Or just the missing link to the mediator?

  I still want to know when choir practice is.

  this is interesting.

  a new study has just been completed by the pew forum on religion and public life.

  the study encompassed more than 35,000 people, a very large sample for a survey of this type.

  This was published in our local paper last night; any thoughts on what might go into a letter to the editor to draw attention to it?

  so it hadn't escaped my attention that two weeks ago i was melting faster than a snowman on a lava flow path.. i had to do something.

  i ended up in hospital.

  i hoped this would mean i'd get help, not just medication, which i've tried for 6 months and hasn't really helped.

  i just spent the weekend with my diehard witness parents.

  they try hard not to 'show' interest in information i know before they do.

  mom has wondered how i know before they do.

  being dispersed from bethel to become pioneers in other territorie is because a major announcement is coming up and the gb is worried about how the r&f are going to take it

  I think the elder just made that up. Haven't we heard other, more "plausible" explanations? (Efficiency, cost reduction, etc.)

  Two valuable rings were stolen during a move; one of the "brothers" helping us was an elder, the other ms. I'd just checked to make sure I'd put them back in the jewelry box in another box. Of course, I decided at the time that I must have been the crazy one. I suspect it was the elder that took them.

  If you decide to be generous and let her in, be very careful. She may very well want to get to your wife and the baby with "the truth." She'll have all day to subtly preach and get an in with the baby. My mother didn't want to visit with me but wanted to take my young children for the summer. I knew all too well they'd be brainwashed and had to say no.

  Please let us know how this works out.

  i was wearing a cotton bathrobe this weekend and went to the gas stove to adjust the coffee pot.

  suddenly there was a burst of flame on top part of my sleeve.

  tore the bathrobe off, threw it to the floor, and stomped it out, although the fire caught on another part of the bathrobe and i had to keep stomping.

  Frightening; I'm glad you're OK.

  I used to have a robe with big droopy sleeves that caught on the handles of pans; nearly dumped hot food all over!

  My daughter recently got a letter from my sister that included an "article" and photo about my mother going out in service with an oxygen tank. Toward the "end" she couldn't get out of the car and go d2d but sat in the car and kept track of placements. ugh My sister wrote the "article" and told the bro's to feel free to use it in the asleep mag. The writing was like an fifth grader - so much for that college education from reading the Awake. My mother would have hated the photo; it was morbid. But what an example! (she was only 82, though)
