folks.
we did the positive spin about being a witness.
now let's see if we can come up with anything negative about being a jehovah's witness....now, put your thinking caps on!
Something negative, hmmm, well I'm not exactly sure where to start. The estrangement from my family? Possibly. Perhaps ceasing my university studies? Always a good negative. The idea that everyone except JW's are worthless? An oldie but a goody. Maybe the fact that I became a freak? That's a keeper.
This is a trick question, right?

....in the organization, that you had?
did you enjoy being a pioneer or elder?
did you feel that you "were just a publisher"?
I thought I would enjoy being an elder, but it was very hard work(yeah most of our elder body took our responsibility seriously and we did really care for the congregation) so I was actually relieved when I was deleted(sounds like a computer error,no?) It was then I realized I enjoyed being a regular old publisher and now I enjoy just being regular.

also known as seasonally affected disorder.
i have been kind of "down" since october.
the lack of sunshine always gets me.. ~aztec
Hi Az- It's really amazing how many people are affected by S.A.D. In my job I work primarily with people with disabilities as well as the elderly, and during this time of the year there is a really noticeable change in the dispositions of a huge number of my clients. Not only do the shorter, colder days cause a lot of depression, but it also contributes to more confinement for them. As for myself, living in a northern clime, I dread the thought of snow as I detest the stuff. Fortunately we don't get much on the West Coast, but even one flake can really cause me to get the blues. No, you're not alone.

mrs ozzie prepared the lunch and i made the drinks!
our visitors were baptist folk, so there was no shiraz today, out of respect for their sensibilities!
we enjoyed our conversation about dateline/panorama/sunday and they are taking a tape of the sunday program to various church groups in the south of sydney.
# 's 1&2 Well, when I learned of the Bible's "promises" as told by the WBTS, back in ' 76,(my wife had known of it 7 years earlier), we both figured that we'd be in the New System within 5 years at the outside. Indeed as each Christmas passed, my darling would reassure us that this perhaps would be the last time we'd have to put up with Satan's world. We're still here and guess what, we had a fantastic Christmas in ' 02. Personally, I'm glad we decided to abandon that New System malarky for a real life.
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!!!! Yes, I know I'm late, but "we were making rather merry",(a partial quote from the movie "Scrooge" starring Alistair Sims)

mrs ozzie and i are enjoying a week in the blue mountains at a convention (no, not a district convention!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
) but we didn't want to miss out on our customary poll, so we're sending this from a very welcoming cafe in scenic katoomba.
check it out on the web.
Hello Oz et al,
Yes there was a time when I truly believed that #1 was the reason that witnesses pitched in and rendered aid, but my thinking for a long while now has prompted me to ask why just to fellow witnesses and few if any others, and why only in times of crises as opposed to regularly. I try to temper these thoughts however, by recalling many witnesses I knew personally, who would show kindness to anybody at any time and reassure myself that these folks practiced this genuine caring in spite of the policy of the WBTS.
