ok! I need help everyone! My girlfriend's sister and her husband are stuck in NY at Laguardia with no where to stay, and no one to hang with. They had to come from Arizona to the Stanley Theater...

socalgal Jul 11, 2007

brotherman Jul 11, 2007

Yeah really, according to you and a few others NYC will be utopia in the new system. They should go tour that peaceful area called the Bronx. LOL!!!

I used to work with Mexicans at a supermarket. They cussed at me in spanish all the time. Guero and Gringo were widely used. Hahaha...

socalgal socalgalOG 2003

hahaha did they call you "gavacho" (sp?) thats the lowest of the low for a white person. lol

B
brothermanOG 2004

Oh, they called me lots of nice things. Some were pretty disgusting. I actually met my ex-wife by calling her a cuss word in Spanish. How romantic eh? LOL!!

socalgal socalgalOG 2003

did she even know what you said?

B
brothermanOG 2004

I had to tell her. She didn't seem too happy about it. LOL!

socalgal socalgalOG 2003

We used to used the loudspeaker and say things like, "Chata vargas, please call the Deli". LOL!! I don't remember what that means. I hope it's not bad. Haha...

socalgal socalgalOG 2003

chata/chato is short/stubby. lol i assume vargas is a last name. lol

B
brothermanOG 2004 socalgal

Hmmm what else... They used to call me the spanish term for a woman's you know what on the loudspeaker. They'd be like, "C..... come back to the deli". LOL!! Those guys were nuts.

socalgal socalgalOG 2003 brotherman

and your manager would let them do that?

B
brothermanOG 2004 socalgal

The Mgr was oblivious to what they were saying.

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003 brotherman

B
brothermanOG 2004 juicymango

Sorry, we're talking about Spanish. That sounds amazing and all, but the "C" word in Spanish is just way funnier. ;oP

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003 brotherman

yes but when i was little and just came here from Poland and we were in a crowded place and i was calling my aunt in Polish.. and then suddenly people were looking at me weird and my aunt told me it was a bad word in spanish.. that wasn't fun.

Ok, that is kind of funny. Haha...

i know a couple people are going to be reeeeeeeeeeeeally annoyed. but brotherman is right i just heard a talk from our CO not too long ago. Again, there isnt a set scrip reference....but he pointed out that the 1st builder of a city was Cain, the second was Nimrod. The CO said these men are known as "Two spiritual losers. With his purpose of populating the Earth, the logistics are such that we can assume large cities were never Gods intent for the Planet." He said it fosters the haves and have nots. Used the insight volume as a refernce.

Yeah, since our little discussion a couple weeks back I've discussed this with a number of people in my congregation. None of them thought cities would survive. Also consider what Jehovah did to Sodom and Gomorrah. They were thriving cities of that time. Jehovah destroyed them along with the wicked people. So it would only seem logical that he'd pound NYC, LA, London, Rome, etc. to the ground as he did those cities. Can we honestly say those cities are any more moral than their predecessors? I think not. They are probably worse. And again, what good are cities without businesses? Not much. I think it's safe to say money won't be used in the new system. I think gatherings and recreation we enjoy in congregations today is what we'll continue in the future, not broadway shows or major league baseball games and other entertainment.

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003

i like this because you used things like "i think" and "safe to say" and "would only seem" instead of things like "this is fact"

yay!

B
brothermanOG 2004

I guess a little more tact works well, but in my mind I think it's fact. And it seems most others think the same. We have to remember Lot's wife. She merely looked back on the splendor of a city and died. It's a good lesson for each of us. Would looking back on NYC at Armageddon, be a life and death situation for any of us? Personally, I'd rather see NYC become a tropical island than have mile high buildings. LOL!
