  .

  just had to share this one with you.... i was offered a job on the next series of survivor, working with the cast and crew for 3 months during the shoot.

  i thought i was going to have to turn it down because misspeaches wedding is in the middle of it, turns out, they might be able to give me work for 6 weeks instead of the full time, fingers crossed, that would be awesome!!

  what does wt say?.

  if it reached at least the top of mount ararat, in theory it would have reached the sky.

  Just out of curiosity, I wonder how long Noah was sitting ( doing crosswords/knitting) in the ark before they actual started to float...like where they sitting for days, or hours before they were off floating??...

  I also wanted to know if they cooked on the ark? I assume there would be a lot of work going on just to feed all the animals never mind trying to get a meal cooked for themselves..

  Is there a number of actual humans that were on board as well?

  Celebrating holidays

  by dobbie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just wondering if you still abstain from celebrating christmas birthdays etc or if you do celebrate them how long did it take to feel comfy with doing it after you'd left the jws?i'm fading at the moment but although me and hubby have talked about spending xmas with our nonjw families and i told him i was going to start sending bday cards to my family, the thought of it scares me like its a big huge sin.does it ever feel natural to celebrate holidays?i used to love all that sort of thing before i was a witness but when my mum and stepdad wished me happy bday last month it felt really odd and i was uneasy.i find it v confusing cos i can sort of see that jesus wasn't born in dec. but maybe he can have 2 bdays like the queen!also not being able to send fathers day cards this year was the final straw for me i felt so bad about it so i have lots of making up to do but just hope i can enjoy it all without feeling bad.

  i know they say some bday things have pagan origins but there are things jws can have or do that also are pagan.wedding rings for example.thanks

  My first christmas was at 19 and my first b-day was 18...It was a little wierd doing the christmas thing with my family but, quickly adapted to it...love it now....favorite time of year for me!!!

  One thing I wish I had experienced as a kid was Halloween,,,Use to burn my a$$ as a kid to go to school after everyone had trick-or-treated the night before....They all had cool treats and great bragging stories for the next day and here I would sit with my lunch that had a healthy apple, carrot sticks and peanut butter sandwich to boot...not to mention a lovely thermos full of milk!!!

  bitter?? hell no!!!...

  anyways, I made up for it with my kids....they always had the best costumes and the best decorated house on the street and everyone yacked about it at school....

  What one thing reminds you most of being a Witness?

  by free2beme in

  the mind is full of all kinds of things that can trigger memories.

  it could be the taste of a certain spice that reminds you of a now passed relative who liked to cook.

  it could be the smell of a perfume or cologne, that reminds you of a lover you once could not live without.

  Yup...those white little polo mints...

  dad use to have pockets of them when we went to the hall...( he was trying to always give up smoking)...I always stuck my behind right beside him as I knew he had loads of them tucked away in his pockets ....

  Do you have issues with attending anything on a regular basis now?

  by free2beme in

  2. friends

  i was asked a few months back to teach a class locally on tuesday night at 7:pm.

  i thought it would be okay, and i started doing it in april.

  as it was not something with any time frame and more of a class that could go on for as long as time allowed.

  do I ever have issues with this one...( and I have been out for 20 years++)....

  exsample:

  having been told that I must change the oil in the car every 3 months...something simple, but I hate when I am told to do it...

  : having to attend weekly home and school meetings for my kids...

  just anything in general being told to be there for in time and on time really bugs me....
