We actually live just east of Toronto and for some reason even though we live right by Lake Ontario, we don't get the severe winter storms like Toronto. Maybe that is why the geese feel it is a safe haven..So they are actually annoying to us.. they never leave and they make a mess with all their goose droppings..

Hi Lady Lee... If you wonder where the Canada geese go in the winter.. they hang around the lake here all winter in Ontario near Toronto..I don't know how they survive.. our winters have been milder each year here though..guess they find food somehow...

lol..I almost thought you were serious that they found him at first..I don't know though.. I keep wondering why they are wasting manpower and money finding Hoffa when they haven't even found Bin Laden yet????

Speaking to an Elder tomarrow, I'm almost free!!!!!!!
by drew sagan inmajor developments in my world, just wanted to let you all know about it.
i'm meeting with the elder tomarrow afternoon.
i'm going to stick heavy to the watchtowers interpretation of matthew 24 and how it is unbalanced, sensationalized and out of touch with any historical evidence or respect for the bible.

Im so happy for you that your wife is in agreement with you.. My husband and I both saw the truth about the 'truth" at the same time and left together. It makes it so much easier to leave and carry on making a new life free from the borg.

When I think how disrespectful it is to begin with to go invade someone's privacy in their home to try and tell them how wrong they are, and then to;add that kind of arrogant response, well I despise the work even more.
Well said!!!!!!..I feel embarrassed to think I used to go bothering people in their homes..I especially remember Dubs loving going out in field service Christmas morning.. laughing that we were going to spoil their Christmas..now I just laugh at the Dubs wasting their lives away in a cult..

Is there one thing that keeps you from going back?
by nsrn ini had email contact this week for the first time with an old boyfriend--haven't seen him in 28 years!
i'm trying to compose an answer...there are a hundred reasons why i will never go back, but how to sum it up?
i'm thinking along the lines of "i just don't believe that the society/gb is god's representative on earth" and see if he presses further.. suggestions, anyone?.

I know how good life is when I can be independent thinking and pursue a life that is best for me and not be controlled by a bunch of old men claiming to have the direction of god., I have no desire to go back to a life run by a cult..

JWs and Small Business Outsourcing
by Stephanus in.
i was struck by a thought last night: if you had a small business and needed window or other cleaning service, instead of looking up the appropriate section of the yellow pages, you could just call the local kingdom hall and ask for recommendations for someone to do the job.. what other services could you ask about, while you're still on the phone?

Cleaning products from Amway
there was a Witness couple who started selling that and they tricked other witless couples into coming over to their house for a presentation by inviting them over for an evening supposedly of " good fellowship".. Dub couples started getting really upset by this.. so they eventually stopped.. or maybe some elder made them stop..

Did you know of any JW's brothers that were "wife beaters"? Were they DF'd?
by booker-t inyears ago when i was attending my old kh there was an elder that was very stern.
bro glen(not his real name) used to be very firm in telling students about their talks not being good, or where they needed to improve.
i know i was "terrified" of bro glen.

There was a MS in our congregation who was an alcoholic ,,,he was not physically abusive with his wife but verbally abusive but he used to beat on his teenage son, the son was friends with my husband (who was a teen himself at the time) and he would tell him how his father would get drunk and slam him into walls . Finally, his wife decided to go to the elders about it.. he was removed from his postion for a while.. but otherwise no other punishment. His wife never did leave him.
