I just get sad when people don't learn anything, and especially when it comes to things that I actually have some experience with, and try to tell... I will just pet Mazzie! She casts out kitty cats!  |

Dictionary definitions for "organisms." I still dont see how the F&Ws fit the description...can anyone explain it? I see more dis-similar things than similar... or·gan·ism (ôrg-nzm) n. 1. An individual form of life, such as a plant, animal, bacterium, protist, or fungus; a body made up of organs, organelles, or other parts that work together to carry on the various processes of life. 2. A system regarded as analogous in its structure or functions to a living body: the social organism. organ·ismal (-nzml), organ·ismic (-mk) adj. organ·ismi·cal·ly adv. The American Heritage ® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition copyright ©2000 by Houghton Mifflin Company. Updated in 2009. Published by Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved. organism [ˈɔːgəˌnɪzəm]n I can explain it, but I am in a hurry, so I will make it quick: Like Paul wrote all members of the body (of Christ) are different. The hand is not the eye, etc etc, but there is one body. Kinda fits the definition of organism to a tee, unless you want to get all complicated and spill a few ®'s out there at the same time...  |

People here really can't see how the body of Christ can be an organism? Amazing, it is worse than I thought...

I sure do have a difficult time wording things correctly. Either they come out wrong, or I leave parts out. I should start every post with "This does not mean you specifically"... I am trying, I'm trying... see I aint so bad, I used to be, but I am trying to be my self that I would like to be... I wonder if William Irvine was trained by the masons on how to speak to people...  |

If I had more faith, and more consistently, I would be happier... But you'd be surprised what miracles you can see and still not change your life nearly as much as you'd expect yourself to do... for some folks, like myself, I am just glad to make it through the day... Goodnight everyone... P.S. The caption that I had to type in order to post as a guest was "eat drink and be merry" |

Just reading Brad Lewis's web site... he makes a lot of good points... I also saw William Irvine's dog... Mazzie is cuter, much cuter, but most doggies are still good doggies... Mazzie just got lucky and turned out to be a yellow Yorkie, not very many Yorkies can do that! But she was solid black when she was a puppy...
Things change...

I have grown personally in some ways since last going to meeting. I have learned about myself. I used to admire this certain professing friend so much that I tried to be like him. But now, I am no longer pro-choice (like he is). I am pro-life, if that is such a thing... He used to say that if nobody wants the baby, it is better that God take care of it than it grow up to live a miserable life unloved... I look back now and can't imagine that I fell for such nonsense... Also, he had another personal vendetta that I adopted for no reasons of my own. I guess someone had broken his windshield wiper putting a flyer on it, so he would absolutely never again even look at any flyers that were ever placed on his windshield... Today I am putting flyers on windshields.. And another thing that I adopted from him that causes me to look back at now and ask myself if I ever had any views of my own, he "couldn't stand" people that were always fighting for the "principle" of the thing... Now I figure he probably just heard that argument from someone on the radio and adopted it himself. He listened to radio alot... The principle of the thing is why we even have pro-life folks like me...  |

I wish that I had studied a hundred websites and read 6 or 8 books about the 2x2 sect, and also knew in-depth the history of the religious world so that I could devote myself to making page size posts on such things and blah blah so that I might get a little respect around here, but unfortunately, I have simple, yet very deep views. I see through a glass, darkly... lol And there is so much more, I am just reluctant to share... |

Being a worker, you are supposed to eat what is set before you. But what if the very thought, smell, or taste, and even the looks of mayonnaise can literally make you sick? Then what do you do? Because that stuff is most likely going to sat in front of you on a regular basis... The friends are not going to stop piling heaping helpings of potato salad on your plate, and you are panic stricken, starting to sweat, butterflies soaring and souring your delicate belly...
You can't just say, "uh, no thanks", because it is going to happen all the time...
What do you do in that situation?

Well, hello Mr Ride Free! That was pretty good, I have to admit, but I was being serious. Way back when I was thinking about offering for the work, that was very important to me, and I couldn't get a serious answer from anyone, well, maybe because I hadn't offered for the work, I dunno...

Think about it. Chicken salad, macaroni salad, tuna fish...hamburgers... the stuff is in so many things... it becomes more important when it is you in the situation, I guess..

Why do they call them mason jars? anything to do with the masons?
Mayo comes in mason jars. You buy the mayo, and the jar is free. It is a "free mason" jar... ;D

If Mayo was an issue for any worker, simply being open with the friends and letting them know would probably work just fine. They could substitute Miracle Whip or perhaps horse radish whenever a recipe called for Mayo.... You know..... being single and all perhaps there is still time to offer for the work. In fact.......... I happen to know the overseer down in your neck of the woods pretty well and might be able to set up a meeting for you with him if you would like. Scott

Scott That's mighty kind of you, friend... I'll get back at ya on that But horseradish, specialty mustards, hollandaise, Miracle Whip®, sour cream, they are all in the same category, and it doesn't end there, cottage cheese, cream cheese (except in some cheesecakes, yummy), yogurt... it is a pretty big list... |

Well many of us have struggled with whether or not we were called, but if all we had to do was to consult our list of dietary "issues" and say "no, the list is too long, I can't go"--well, that would take all the blood, sweat, and tears out of the process. Could have saved myself a lot of second guessing! |

(I said I might be able to set up a meeting with him) As a matter of fact, it was Lyle that I asked for gospel meeting info and contact numbers that I passed on to you some time back. I am sure that he wouldn't mind at all getting a message from you. You might want to sent it a bit more privately than a post here on the TMB though.... Scott

Okay, you got me. Although I still wouldn't eat the stuff, I would have faced that as it came. Truth is, I am a gleaner, I pick up the scraps that were dropped by the harvesters... Sent, but away from Jesus.. I actually know my place, believe it or not. It comes to me when people ask questions... |

Of course, I could have just walked into the nut garden ;D ... that would be a lot less interesting than me actually being a gleaner, though, don't you think?
