by Latte in

Hi Latte

I have often thought the JW lifestyle to be an unhealthy one, physically and mentally, (not to forget spiritually if you are still into that).

ie Rushing in from work with 15mins to eat, change and be out of the door twice a week, often with the added stress of an item! Then home late due to the "encouragement" to not leave straight after the meeting but to stay and chat, so your propoer meal was often a take-away eaten just before bed.

Hours and hours each week just sitting.

"Encouragement" not to got out the the toilet during the meeting,

Dragging a heavy FS bag round and then the standing holding it whilst talking at a door.

Wearing totally unsuitable shoes for FS because you had to be well dressed. Even low heeled court shoes dont go with farm tracks.

The mental stress of having a "Bible (WTBTS) trained conscience".

No time to have a quiet morning unless you could justify it with illness.

I could go on.

Maybe these things only effect those who truly believed the WTBTS and so tried to it all "properly".

ok, for those of you who were thinking of a novel by salinger: [x] wrong!.

we're talking the best whiskey made with canadian rye.. even the russians agree: canadian rye, for what it is worth, is the best!.

americans have bourbon: they win hands down with their special blend.. scotland, has single malt scotch (dalwhinnie, rayzor's fav!

This is the RYE I know.

Very pretty but not available in a bottle.

MY Wal-Mart Experience Today.

by Yerusalyim in

well, there i was out in front of wal-mart today.

i'm wearing my yellow smock that says "helping the mentally disabled" and "knights of columbus" yep, it's the beginning of that time of year...the time when we pass out tootsie rolls and accept donations giving the money to the mentally hanidcapped.. anyhow, the way our group does it...we offer the tootsie roll to anyone that wants one...even if they don't choose to make a donation.... you wouldn't believe how many people just could not believe that we would actually just give them a tootsie roll without them giving us a donation...one guy just walked away and says "there's gotta be a catch" it took me three minutes to explain to this one woman that regardless of whether or not she gave a donation i would still give her a tootsie roll, even if she told me in advance that she wasn't going to give me a donation.

i guess people really aren't used to getting something for nothing.. sure, it's my hope that after giving them a tootsie roll they'll give a donation...but the other motive is just to get them the tootsie roll that also has the "knights of columbus" name on the wrapper (specially printed for the knights).
