  I buy all the time and I agree, there are a couple things to look out for. Lisa hit it right on with the positive rating, I won't buy from anyone with a rating lower than about 98%. But I learned this next one the hard way, look at the shipping cost before you make your bid. Some sellers make their profit on it. After you bid, if you win you have no recourse except to pay.

  Other than that, I use my credit card all the time, in fact I use my debit card as well all the time, and I have never had a problem.

  Yea! Annoying little chicken boy was sent packing! I'm not sure who I'd like to see go next. Perhaps Bucky or Ace, but there are a few others that should be cleared out too.

  I'm hoping to see the final three be Mandeca, Chris, Paris.

  As for me, I wouldn't give them the time of day. If they persisted I would get a restraining order. However being I'm 250 miles away from the congregation I last attended I hardly think they even know I exist.

  I am NOT a taylor fan. In your first picture he looks like he's sitting on the toilet, that expression is not attractive at all, in fact in most of his pictures he looks that way. Just gross. I do, however, think that bald guy is amazingly talented. For the life of me can't think of his name because I don't watch that often. If he doesn't win its because american likes fluff music more than good old rock and roll.

  New user in Pittsburgh, Pa

  i feel a little odd in posting this..... i am a 39 year old former witness, former elder, former just about everything.

  been through much in the last two years... realized not all things i believed were true to me, not all things in the faith work the way i thought.

  no anger about the past... i did what i believed to be true to myself, and what others do is their decision.

  Quick survey for apostates - please everyone just yes or no answer

  by slimboyfat in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  do the other witnesses with whom you associate/once associated in general know that you are an apostate or have apostate inclinations?

  the reason for the phrase "in general" is that it may be the case that one or two close friends know how you feel, but others in general do not.

  in my own case, one other witness knows, but no one else, so i would answer the survey question with a "no".
