  by flipper in

  2. friends

  i decided to do a couple fluff threads tonight as my threads have been way too deadly seroius lately !

  so if someone told you to pick one song that was your all-time favorite, what would you pick ?

  i'd have to say for me it has not changed since the 1971 hit by led zeppelin, " stairway to heaven ".

  i have a cat that cannot stop purring when he is with me, when i carry him or put him on my lap he drools saliva all over me.

  he cannot stay still on my lap.

  he moves all the time and demands to be petted all of the time again and again.. this is the only cat that i have ever owned.

  Underage Apostates

  i told my parents that do not want anything to do with jw's when i was 15, i stopped going to meeting (not that i was really going anyway), stopped going to assembly, even stopped the memorial.

  at first it was guilt trips, crying, the whole what did we do wrong why are you doing this.

  then the threats started, i will pull you out of public school and get rid of all your worldly friends that are a bad association, then it was well if you want to act like an adult then all you get is room and one meal a day we do not support those who turn their backs on jehovah.

  Muslim helps Jews attacked on New York subway

  new york (cnn) -- a muslim man jumped to the aid of three jewish subway riders after they were attacked by a group of young people who objected to one of the jews saying "happy hanukkah," a spokeswoman for the three said wednesday.. friday's altercation on the q train began when somebody yelled out "merry christmas," to which rider walter adler responded, "happy hanukkah," said toba hellerstein.. "almost immediately, you see the look in this guy's face like i've called his mother something," adler told cnn affiliate wabc.. two women who were with a group of 10 rowdy people then began to verbally assault adler's companions with anti-semitic language, hellerstein said.. one member of the group allegedly yelled, "oh, hanukkah.

  that's the day that the jews killed jesus," she said.. when adler tried to intercede, a male member of the group punched him, she said.. another passenger, hassan askari -- a muslim student from bangladesh -- came to adler's aid, and the group began physically and verbally assaulting him, hellerstein said.. "a muslim-american saved us when our own people were on the train and didn't do anything," adler said.

  adler pulled the emergency brake and the train stopped at dekalb avenue station, where police came on board.. the 10 suspects, ages 19 to 20, were taken into custody, said brooklyn district attorney spokesman sandy silverstein.. askari was first handcuffed alongside them, but he was released when adler told police he was not an attacker, hellerstein said.. alder was treated at long island college hospital for injuries that included a fractured nose and a cut lip that required several stitches, while askari suffered a black eye, hellerstein said.. .

  Beards and dress clothes...

  by B_Deserter in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i often wonder about the unwritten rule in kingdom halls that a witness should be in dress clothes and brothers cannot have beards (the beard rule i think is pretty much us-only though).

  sure, they won't stop you from coming to a meeting in your work clothes and they might even treat you fine.

  but, if you want to go anywhere in the congregation (i.e.

  Christmas commercials

  by Hortensia in

  2. friends

  it isn't even december yet and i already hate that commercial where the woman goes into lowes or home depot and asks for christmas ornaments using body language.

  i've seen it too many times already!!!!

  and it isn't working, obviously, as i can't even remember which home store it is advertising.. i like christmas - the excitement, color, lights, food, parties.
