  Have you thought about looking for another job and then quitting once you have other work? That is usually pretty safe.

  I would think if your job was "amended" then your pay should also be "amended."

  I Just Can't Get Over It

  2. friends

  as i was gazing at my quite fetching picture posted here from my (much) younger years...i noticed that i had unknowingly become a senior member!

  now...it is perhaps a coincidence...but this comes very soon after my 50th birthday and i get to thinking: arghhhhhhhhhh...i turned 50 and they make me a senior member????

  good grief.

  does anyone know what jesus age was when he got baptized by john the baptizer?.

  i was baptized at 12 years old and now feel that i wasn't old enough to truly understand what i was doing.

  (i had several friends being baptized and wanted to be baptized at the same time).

  I was baptized at 12 years old and now feel that I wasn't old enough to truly understand what I was doing. (I had several friends being baptized and wanted to be baptized at the same time). I don't believe in infant baptisms and don't think that Jesus was just a child when he got baptized. If the witnesses are claiming to follow Jesus footsteps then why would the allow children (even ones who could answer "the questions") to be baptized? That is another thing. I don't remember Jesus reviewing any questions before dedicating his life to God. The questions almost seem to me to be a test not of whether you are ready to make that sort of committment but rather a test of whether you have memorized the JW teachings or not.....

  Any thoughts on this?

  Movies and TV Shows You Didn't Watch Because You Were A JW

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  this week i mentioned how i never saw the movie "ghost" because it was considered "demonistic".

  i also volunteered that that i could not watch "bewitched", although "i dream of jeannie" was a conscience matter......any thing you didn't watch because you were a witness?

  I was under pretty much the same rules as everyone else, no Bewitched, Smurfs......and so on....

  I know this is music but the one thing that I remember most about my childhood is that my mother wouldn't let me participate in a school play where they sang Yellow Polkadot Bikini......She let me be in the play but I had to be on the side of the bleachers so that I could walk off stage when that song came up....It was "inappropriate"....geez!
