  Worst Pet Peeve

  so what annoys you the most?.

  i can't stand when people don't use their turn signals and then jump in front of you and make you slam on your brakes.

  i try to refrain from road rage but i do cuss under my breath.

  PEOPLE WHO POST EMAIL IN ALL CAPS AND DONT USE PUNCTUATION

  People who talk druing a story on the news, and then try to pass off what they said over the story as what they heard on the news.

  Starting the car when it's already started.

  Weather bulletins in the last minute of the game.

  People who say, "Well, it can't get any worse."

  When the body you drop in the lake won't stay down.

  Checks that take forever to clear.

  Parents who expect 3-year-olds to behave like 23-year-olds (Often seen at conventions)

  When you get dumped with the qualifier..."You're a nice guy, but..." Fact is, you're probably shot down becasue you ARE a nice guy.

  Apartment neighbors who narc on you for your outdoor/patio grill.

  People who poke fun at women leaders/businesspersons/athletes for thier looks. The only time that a woman's looks should be up for scrutiny is if she is employed as a model.

  Friends who insist on getting drunk for every outing, even little league games and paying the light bill.

  THE WORST: Turning to a radio station and catching a song you LOVE and is NEVER PLAYED just as it ends.

  I'm at about 70% now...miss once a week, usually make Sundays. I have a roommate now (also still in, but barely), and I'm trying to read him. He has a few doubts, but now quite as profound. He has a big family though. I tend to make more with him around, obviously.

  I'm Single now for two and a half years.

  I miss:

  The intimacy...not just the sex (although that's great, too), but having someone who let you into their life and into their private moments. It wasn't often, but if treasured when my ex let me see her other side.

  Sharing what I have...I love an audience, and someone I can share stories, worries and wins with is really satisfying.

  Support...Again, it didn't happen often, but I was moved to tears by the few times that my ex actually stood up for me and let me know she was behind me.

  I don't miss...

  The clash of personalities...my wife was not at all yeilding, so any time spent in a disagreement never saw any compromises.

  Absences...she was frequently gone, and I always spent time and money taking her to her parents for a week/2 weeks. She never really acte like she missed me.

  Maybe I was just with the wrong person....

  is it true that they have a section for jehovah witnesses in the holocaust museum in washington?

  a jw friend told me about it, and i was like "really?".

  if it's true, why is there a section for them?

  Collaboration or not...a lot of witnesses did die there for their beliefs...They have just as much right to be memorialized.

  After my separation, my workmate and friend moved in. I got no flak at all from the congregation, but, then again, I also didn't get any help from the elders about the separation, either. The few friends I still had in the congregation didn't have a problem, either, and no one has given me a problem about it since I moved out.

  I was considered weak, so they didn't have a cow over it. but if I had still been pioneering, it would have raised an eyebrow.

  Then again, he wasn't a real party animal or a womanizer, so that might also be why nothing was said. I didn't tell a lot of other people, either.

  That didn't really help, did it? Sorry...

  Internet use and the dubs

  by William Penwell in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  just wondering if anyone is aware of a clamp down coming down on internet use with the dubs?

  just talking to my parents tonight and there was some mention that "big brother" wt organization will be shutting down any dub web sites.

  i guess i wasn't to popular as i said, "god created us with a brain to think amd it would be the most divine thing if we used that brain to think for ourself".

  As one still in...it's a conscience matter, depending on where you are.

  You can't grow or process the stuff, or work in a smoke shop...but IF you work at a Kroger as a cashier, selling it is up to you.

  If You Could Write Articles For The Watchtower What Would The Titles Be?

  if you had the power to print millions of watchtowers & awakes and you could see to it that the articles that you wrote got to all the readers, give a sampling of what the articles highlighting "spiritual food" would say.
