I had a good JW friend and since they don't believe in earthly governments sorta and therefore don't believe in taxes, sorta; they seem to have a number of businesses that can be run at minimal cost except for tax deductions. It seems one was put an advertisement on your car and so as you drive to work you are actually advertising to the community - part of business and therefore deductable. As usual, before going too far consult your tax accountant - preferrably a JW one I suppose. So is previewing all these comments business or liesure, or is there really much coming through? So is this sort of blog good money? I know a guy who had his computer tied into AOL with advertising or hosting or such and paid for his mission that way. You probably hate hearing stuff like that huh? Josh,

People who say that know either don't know anything about a business, want to justify an uneeded purchase, or have no concept of cash flows. You had me at the Jerry and Kramer exchange, however. Love that scene. Amen. People who say that know either don’t know anything about a business, want to justify an uneeded purchase, or have no concept of cash flows.

I just got a call from the <a href="http://www.alexsautohaus.com" rel="nofollow">Audi repair shop</a> after taking it in yesterday, and they're saying to repair my heater, A/C, and cruise control is going to run me about $2,000. I've already spent $5,000 on it in the last year and a half, so I'm not too keen on that, but I kind of need a working heater right now, and in the summer I die without A/C. You ain’t kiddin’ me.

She used to do the bookkeeping for my father's business, and I could see the vitriol in her face as she talked about him just telling her to "write everything off" as though it gave you all that money back. It seemed like she and I were the only ones in the conversation who got that concept (probably because we're the only ones who have done our own taxes).
