My find at an Antique Shop
by orangefatcat inyesterday was a nice day so i took out my scooter and i went over to the library and also decided to go into the antique mall just across the road from us.
i love going to antique shops, so i was browsing at some old books and i seen this old purple paperback book and i picked it up and it was called ; the truth shall make you free, at first i thought this sounds like a jw book but why so old as a paperback .
upon opening it i was suprised that it was indeed a paperback book by jehovah's witnesses 1939 and it pretty good shape.

Sounds to me like you guys are having your own private party in this thread....lol
Can I play too???...lol...
I have a
longlittle antique story I can share....About 10 years ago, I was a single mom for a brief time and had very little money .My big excitement was to get up on a Saturday morning and go garage sale hunting. This particular Saturday I slept in, so I was pi$$ed that I had missed the local church bazaar....It was going on till 1:00 in the afternoon but I knew all the good stuff would be gone...I headed up there anyway?s to maybe catch a homemade pie and a hotdog for the kids lunch...
Once I got there, they were packing up...They were basicly packing the stuff up to send to local charity...My son(only 5 at the time) spotted a box of toys that he wanted...I was not giving in to him as we did not need anymore toys...
The fella that was packing the box up said, "come on mom, give me a buck and you can have the hole box" At any other time I would have said no way but there was a shaped ball in it and it had all the pieces with it..( Remember the blue and red tupperware balls with the odd shapes in it??) Well, I had been looking for one of those balls for the kids because it was the only thing I had as a child that I enjoyed....I also still had mine from being a child but, it was missing pieces....
Once I got the box home, I decided to go through it before the boys got it because I had seen some plastic play guns in it and I did not want them have any guns....As I went through the box I came across this plastic bag at the bottom of the box...I unraveled the bag and these two long neck REAL guns fall out of the bag....At this point I am in awwww...I did not know what to think...I wrapped them up very quickly and put them back in the bag...I took them over to my mom and dads place for my dad to look at them and he said I had a gold mine...Keep in mind, that at that time I did not have much money at all....My dad ended up taking them to a dealer and we found out that they were wroth over 900.00 a bucks a piece.. That is what the dealer offered us right on the spot, so I knew they must have been worth a lot more....
I ended up taking them back to the local church to find the rightful owner as I knew they were worth big bucks....it turned out that they had belonged to a lady that passed many years ago with no surviving relatives and her stuff just got donated to the church.....The church took them back from me and thanked me for handing them back in...they were sold for a couple of thousand dollars I was told and the money went back into the church....
The church ended up sending me a gift certificate for 400.00 hundred dollars( Walmart) and also told me I was entitled to "Free" daycare for a month if I needed some "me" time and they also wanted me badly to come to their church....I thanked them but declined there church service as religion had already left a bitter taste in my mouth...
Anyway?s that is my little gold mine story...it does pay off to hit up those garage sales at the end of the day.....

Disgusting wasteful behaviour
by Simon in.
what a great world, we are throwing good food away because we are too lazy or dumb and don't value it while millions elsewhere starve to death.. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4443111.stm.

by love11 inwhat's been your experiences and would you go to one if they were in your area?
if you don't have any official gatherings for ex-jw's then what have you and your ex-jw friends done for fun?
hopefully curiousity doesn't kill this cat.

I saw Motley Crue this weekend
by Dustin inso, i went to see motley crue at the same place where i used to go to the district convention this last weekend.
it's such a strange feeling walking into those places for the first time since i permanantly left the jw's behind.
the first song they played was "shout at the devil".

So I looked at her and said "What smells like poop?"
OMG!!!! lmao @ Dustin...... I just spit my juice all over the pc......
You should have asked her, What do you want on your hamburger? A hotdog?
I am sorry but, chunky chicks belong in panties...
BTW, I saw Motley Crew back in the early 90,s and they rocked!!! Did Blink 182 open up for them this time?? Heard that they where going to this year....

I'm not one to get into celebrity gossip but,
by heatherg inwhat do you all think of prince charles and camilla?
i think it's horrible and teaching a horrible lesson.
look at us, it' okay to cheat on your spouses, because in the end we'll get each other anyway.

morty
And also why knock Charles - he knows like the rest of the nation that William is as related to him as I am and yet he has raised that boy as his own son.
NO WAY!!! Don't tell me this is true......Who's da babies daddy???
