coming in and stealing all the cash offerings and it went on for years, so anything is possible.
A pastor is a servant. Does this behavior sound servant-like?

Our Pastor once said
In response to the local newpaper asking if we were holding any fish frys for Lent:
We are fishers of men, not fryers of fish.
Well, I thought it was funny!
I cannot shut up *LOL* - JUNIOR's restaurant..sm
which is ON Flatbush Avenue when you first get into BKLYN.....it's on the right going towards Prospect Park - it's been there for 50+ years and has some of the best food in NY......Junior's......(remembering all kinds of cheesecake....*lol*).....
That's sad; I've seen a pastor (sm)
disregard feelings of the older members, courting a younger crowd and basically telling the older people if they didn't like the changes they could leave, but I haven't heard of someone basically practically giving a building and contents away like that. That's one reason I won't ever be a member of an independent church; I kind of like an individual pastor not having so much power to do as they wish.
Unfortunately, I think the folks who have donated things that have been sold probably don't have any legal recourse. It might be worth checking with a lawyer, though.
My DH is a pastor, and this is just wrong .... SM
no matter what the denomination. It's not HIS church, and these are not his material things to be done away with. 
Some women never move on from junior high.
I cannot deal with drama queens, so I have only about three close female friends. I have lots of male friends, though, and I love it. Much less maintenance.
Junior clothing size conversion..
How do you determine what size a junior 15 would be in misses? How do you convert that? Just trying to get an idea.
Thanks!
This guy has to get a clue. He isn't a pastor. He has no church. If he did sm
he'd have members. This guy thinks he's leading, but he's only taking a walk.
I kind of feel sorry for him, though. I am in the ministry. If the people don't support you, you have no ministry. This guy has no support. If he did he wouldn't have had to do what he did. He probably didn't bother telling anyone because these people aren't committed to attending his "church" anyway.
If it were me, I'd cut my losses, pray for him and move on. Don't call the police, just move on.
One of the biggest problems facing the church today is bitterness, resentment and unforgiveness between believers.
One day our pastor stopped by for a visit
and my son, who was 5 then, was talking to him. The pastor asked my son what time his bedtime was and he replied, "it's s'posed to be 9 o'clock, but mommy says we piss 'round till 10." I almost died of embarrassment. Unfortunately, pissin' is a word I use quite often and never realized how much kids picked up on it. Thankfully, the pastor laughed and said he understood completely as he grew up on a farm and there was a lot of that going on there.
I remeber during a choir concert while in junior high
our director (she was one of the coolest teachers) forgot to turn on a microphone and when she came on stage to turn it on she said. The kids went wild. It is funny though, it seems like I stopped hearing it for a while (guess when my kids were younger) but now I hear it all the time.
Need $3-$5 gift ideas for junior high age kids
I know it's not much to spend, but I didn't make the rules about this gift exchange. Need something that would work for boys and girls. I was hoping to be a little more creative than Mickey D's certificates. Thanks for the ideas. It's greatly appreciated. :>)
Middle school/junior high was the WORST 3 years

One of my all-time favorite sayings from my pastor: Givers always sm
have enough. Takers never have enough.
Both me and my husband are big givers- to the church, our family, our friends, strangers. I love to entertain and open up our home to others and this summer, every single Wed. we invite at least 4 families over to come swimming in our pool and just do whatever they want to do to "get away" for a while. We live pretty far out from town.
We love to give and give our time and love, too. It keeps us young, happy, and fulfilled.
The truly happy in life are happy because they give of their time and their life to helping others. When you do that, you really don't have time to harp on the negatives in your life or wonder "why doesn't anyone do that for me?"
Want to be happy? Get over yourself. Go across the street and help your depressed neighbor.
That explains better why you would post here. Pastor's wives are often isolated from friends. W

I've heard of tops and also heard it is a good group.
Just heard
Very sad indeed.
Never heard of it until now....sm
it sounds like something you'd find in the south. I'm not sure if I like the sounds of it or not!
wow, never heard of it, but thanks!
x
I heard, so sad. I liked him.
yep, once heard it said that if you
expect nothing, you are never dissappointed, so I have learned to expect nothing, and in return, I am always surprised, which makes even the smallest of niceities someone does or says much more appreciated by me. We are to be happy givers, actually expected to give until it hurts, and not to expect anything in return, amen.
You have heard exactly what I have
over the years. I have heard so much of this I probably would swat my children out of their seats at the table if I ever heard these gross sounds. I also hate to hear yawning while dictating. Reminds me of the time I used to work outside my regular job and had a physician who was a terrible dictator in the hospital and at his office (this was a group of physicians, otherwise would not just have worked for him) and one day he dictated a letter to his bank about his account and you got it, every word was letter perfect, perfectly understandable. I think most dictators find the job of doing their reports not high on the totem pole. That is why we as transcriptionists have to put up with all this crap noise they send our way. Sneezes, snorts, eating, drawing on a cigarette (yes, years ago that 1 for me), coughing, smacking, chewing, and yes, that occasional bowel movement thing-- my mother would have killed me if I ever did this!! I learned well at her knee, still am very cognizant of others in a family/social setting.
You said if you really WANT to, well heard the
same subject on weight loss from my aunt. A lot of elderly people's appetites wane and now she talks about a person, all you have to do is push away from the table. Hmmm, sounds a lot like what you are saying. If you really want to. Ok, I am trying now- I want to be beautiful, thinner, rich, and so on and so on. Hey, I really want this so I guess it can come true, right? Like I said, lot of people just do not understand. Maybe she has a good friend somewhere that will understand.
From what I have heard,
they have great personalities. I believe that smaller dogs do need to go out more frequently for a longer period, but if you work at home, maybe this won't be such an issue.
That being said, any puppy takes a lot of time and attention, and if that is going to stress you out, say you have kids and a busy life, the puppy stage can be rough. Thank goodness puppies are soooo cute, LOL. My neighbors are working with a puppy, and unfortunately they got it at 6 weeks. They were really bleary-eyed there for a while, and thought we were really smart to get an adult dog.
Make sure you go to a good breeder. This is a good place to start:
http://www.bichon.org/breeders.htm
They are not more expensive than a "backyard" breeder who is out to make a buck. The less responsible breeders tend to give themselves away by using terms to make their line sound special, but usually mean they are outside the breed standard, or breeding for looks over health. Depending on breed, they may use words like "teacup" "giant," or even "hypoallergenic." Bichons may cause allergies for fewer people, but that doesn't help if you or a family member just happen to be allergic. So what out for such buzzwords designed to sell. A good breeder is going to have questions for you about how ready you are to take on a puppy of their breed, and they will also tell you that if at any time, for any reason, you need to get rid of the dog, call them - not a rescue, not a shelter. They will always take their dog back because they really care about the dog.
If you get one, we want to hear all the puppy (or dog) stories. :oD
Never heard of this...
but will go to Lowe's tomorrow and check it out. That might be something that works in conjunction with the other ideas.
you *heard*???? LOL.........
You *heard that AL Gore's documentary had no facts in it*? And I quote you on that.
Believe half of what you see and nothing of what you *hear* - go do your own research for crying out loud!!!
At least Gore CARES!!
Has anyone heard (sm)
how the poison got into the wheat? Last I heard it was a poison that is not used in this country. 
Just heard from my son
they are finally on the bus and on their way home. We live about 1 1/2 hours from Tech. There is where my son plans on going to college. He actucally told me he loved me on the phone.
I heard that
 on the local news - it is utterly unbelievable!
Um, TOM? Never heard of it.
No hits on my abbreviation site, either.
No, have not heard.
Don't remember the 1997 thing either. Well if it worked back then, I would give it a go, but I feel it is a lost battle. I hate the prices where they are. $2.77 for me at the Gas N Go in NJ. $35.00 just the other day to fill her up.
I heard that!
Also have 2 boys and 1 girl - she is the middle child and has been a challenge since she was a baby. Tonight is the PROM! OMG will I be glad when tonight is over! With my son, it was rent a tux, order the corsage take some pictures, have a good time, be careful with my new car.
With my daughter, it is shop for dresses, shop some more, pick one out, have the store hold it, forgot a 50% deposit, go pay in full, wait a month for them to press it, shoes, slip, find a belly button ring that doesn't show quite so much through the fabric of said dress, purse or no purse, order flower for boyfriend AND also corsage for daughter because boyfriend doesn't feel like ordering corsage and his mother won't do it for him, nails, hair, makeup, be careful with my car (boyfriend is 17 and does not have his license).
Did I mention I will be glad when tonight is over. Truly love her to death, but yikes! Talk about high maintenance.
I have heard it's not at all
uncommon for an older child to go back into diapers and back on the bottle when another baby comes along for the same reason - a plea for attention. My husband is only a little older than his sister, and that's what he did.
So your son simply needs more of your time and attention. I hear 4 and 5 are the most fun ages anyway. :oD
I heard that too...sm
Boy, I hope not...that'd be too weird. I won't watch it either if that happens...
I have never heard of her. I just
read on a spoiler thing something about her and was wondering who she was?!
Never heard of that . .
just the Plott, which was just recognized by the club. It is a short-haired beautiful hound. You may be right, as there are unusual breeds, not yet recognized by the clubs. If you ever watch Crufts Dog Show in England you will see some dogs we do not yet recognize in our clubs.
Thanks for this, I have never tried it but heard about it
and now of course never will try it. I never thought of the fumes, probably would have if I had tried it.
Never heard of it. Do
you get them in stores or have to order them?
Tell me more, have not heard about
NM
Well, actually have heard of this before
so maybe just not able to obtain vitals and so therefore declared?
I never heard of
Curvelle. Is it an appetite suppressant?
Anyone heard of this
before. My best friend (a male age 50) began to experience severe headaches two days ago. He has been under a lot of stress. Then about a day and a half ago he came down with flu-like symptoms with violent vomiting. His headache became so bad that he took himself to our local hospital. They ran tests and diagnosed him to have an aneurysm. He was rushed to a big hospital in Chicago via helicopter earlier this evening. After running tests there it was determined that it is not an aneurysm but just a "bleed". The doctor said that it is normal for males between the ages of 46 and 60 to have this occur. Have you ever heard of this ? I am worried sick about him.
I was a fan before anyone had heard of him
did a short-lived Fox series - can't even remember the name of it now - but this may have been accidental. He apparently was having difficulty sleeping and told friends that 2 Ambien was not working for more than 1 hour.
I heard that, too.
You are supposed to keep them in the carton inside the refrigerator instead of in the door b/c the door is not cold enough to be a safe temp.
I have heard it all
As dictated:
The patient states her is unable to keep anything down. 
Thanks - Never heard that - (sm)
Nice lead singer - (woohoo again)
I had heard somewhere
that women only have 2 or 3 hairstyles they look good in anyway. I know - that's about all I've had my whole life (I'm 49). I keep mine above the shoulders becuase I have a long face, and it pulls it down otherwise.
I have heard this too
I sure wish I was middle class.
You may have heard
As you may have heard, the Bush Administration said each of us would get a rebate check to stimulate the economy.
If we spend that money at Wal-Mart, all the money will go to China . If we spend it on gasoline it will go to the Arabs, if we purchase a computer it will go to India, if we purchase fruit and vegetables it will go to Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala, if we purchase a good car it will go to Japan, if we purchase useless junk it will go to Taiwan and none of it will help the American economy.
We need to keep that money here in America . The only way to keep that money here at home is to spend it at yard sales, since those are the only businesses still in the US
Has anyone heard of this
I work for an ENT doc and he was seeing a patient that had "multiple synechia" in each side of the nose due to putting green onions in his nose. I was just wondering why the patient was doing this?
Thank you. Never heard of that! NM
xx
I have heard enough, too!
I always felt they planned this stunt. They wanted to do something to get their 15 minutes of fame. I feel sorry for the baby.
Oh, you heard that one too!...nm
