  by Country Girl in

  2. beliefs

  for those of you that are disfellowshipped, disassociated, a fader, or formerly non-baptized publishers.. if you had your funeral in a church, would your jw friends or relatives come to it?

  i was telling him the other day that i want to have my funeral service in my church, and that my jw relatives would *not* come to it.

  he could hardly believe that.. country girl

  I don't know & don't care. All I want is for someone to lean over the casket & say "Look! He's breathing!"

  Strange Bar Snacks

  by Mac in

  i know we've all had the usual salty delights placed along the beer slickened runways of our favorite and not so favorite watering holes...(pretzels, peanuts and popcorn etc....)

  but have you ever visted an establishment that veered just a tad from the traditional?

  i know of a place that always has bags of saltine crackers and squeeze mustard placed along the bar and a tables.

  I'll take some hot wings. Or potato skins. Or egg rolls. Or nachos. Or stuffed jalapenos. Or a blooming onion/onion flower/Texas Tumbleweed. Or Texas Toothpicks. I gotta have the bar munchies.

  Grrrrr... they turned off my cable

  by Elsewhere in

  i have had a cable modem for at least three years now and as a side effect i had basic cable the whole time... today i get home to find that some f. what really pisses me off is that earlier this year comcast sent me a letter saying that because i did not subscribe to any cable service, they were going to add a $10 a month surcharge to my cable modem service... their way of forcing me to pay for basic cable.

  now all of the sudden they want to force me to actually subscribe to the cable service, plus all kinds of "extra" charges that cannot be avoided.

  this really pisses me off.

  DSL, Dude! It beats the tar out of a cable modem. Noth that it makes it any easier to write out that $175-200 check every month to Sprint for the two phone lines, DSL, long distance, and other assorted services (plus, of course, the taxes, surcharges, maintenance fees, and other assorted crap). But all 4 computers tie back thru a wireless network to the DSL modem and we surf, upload, download, and e-mail to our heart's content (and our customers' delight), I like it.

  What would you do?

  by FMZ in

  well, i got done with my taichi class.

  after driving around for a little while, seeing the sights etc.. i decided to head to work early, to get changed then head to the bar for a beer or two before my shift starts.. i filled up on gas, then as i was driving away, i noticed a poor gal (35ish) walking down the sidewalk slowly.. thumbing a lift.

  obviously she had been drinking, though not to the point of totally stumbling all over.. i felt so sorry for the woman, i just had to pull over and give her a lift.

  by kls in

  2. friends

  really i am looking for a 440 big block for a 68 dodge charger.

  now i have a very tired 383. for those who know engines would it be better to rebuild the 383 or replace it with a 440. i am having a hard time finding a big block motor .

  It's getting hard to find a virgin block. You might look at the aftermarket if you have the bucks. Places like Jim's https://www.jimsautoparts.com/blocks.htm and other will have blocks and crate engines for sale. And you can always buy a genuine Mopar crate engine from Chrysler ... right up to 528 cubic enches of Hemi power.

  Either way ... you gotta top it off with the Six Pack. My uncle had a 69 charger with the 440/Six Pack when I was a kid. That car was an absolute blast!

  You are EX-JWs because you want to live an immoral life!

  by Sirona in

  2. friends

  many jehovah's witnesses believe what they've been told about ex-witnesses.

  they say that exjws simply want to live an immoral life.

  they say that exjws cannot live up to "jehovah's standards".

  JWs accuse us of wanting to live immoral lives. By immoral I'd say they mean adultery, fornication, drunkenness, drugs, lying, theiving, cheating etc.

  Do you do these things and try and think you need to justify that by picking holes in the WBTS?

  Honestly, now ... how often do you see me picking holes in their doctrine? The fact that I enjoyed the hell out of alcohol, drugs, and fornication was purely a matter of hedonistic enjoyment in my youth, and has little to do with their bogus teachings.

  Good manners and curse words

  by Maverick in

  one of the comments i have heard many times is what good manners i display.

  i open doors, allow others to cut in line ahead of me, say please, thank you and may i all the time, stand for a lady and many other simple little and often goofy actions that seem to have been lost on the current generation.

  in fact the thing that attracted my present girlfriend was her observation of my good manners.

  Play golf and you'll hear plenty of cuss words and from people you lest expect.

  You know why it's called "golf", right?

  All the other four letter words were already taken.

  orlando, fla. -- a central florida woman was fired from her job after eating "unclean" meat and violating a reported company policy that pork and pork products are not permissible on company premises, according to local 6 news.

  " holfeld asked.

  "we do, we can," kweli said.

  If these Muslims were that worried about someone eating pork, then perhaps they should have hired a Muslim.

  Unless, of course, they bypassed a Christian, Jew, Athiest, Hindu, or any other qualified candidate for the job solely because of that candidate's religious beliefs. That candidate could then file legitimate charges of discrimination against the company.
