  Family Reunion

  by Cori in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this past weekend, i attended my family's annual reunion (scheduled a week before thanksgiving, and they served turkey...hmmm) and became literally sick because they are all jw and talked of nothing else.

  i finally realized how sad the normal jw's life is.

  they really have nothing else going for them, thats why the thought of leaving is so unbelievable.

  Your Dad sounds alot like my Mom. She even uses the same term "get my act together".

  When ever my family gather togther everthing seems to revolve around their religion including the conversation.

  I know exactly how you feel.

  They may never wake up.

  Most COs we had were pretty arrogant, but the one I liked the best was Pedro Hines and his wife, I think they were originally from PA.

  They were young and down to earth and both had gone to college before they went into the curicuit work. They were very good to the young people and they stayed with my family all the time.

  We also had JR Brown, who actually was a nice guy back in the day. He was outspoken about going to college and encouraged me to do so.

  I wonder why he changed.

  I would go with the nose strips.

  Also you might want to tape his snoring one night, he might not realize how loud he snores.

  I also used to have the rule that when I go to bed, wifey must come to bed as well. However after hearing myself snore, I realized that my snoring was cruel and inhumane treatment.

  There was one (might still be there) in Queens NY on Farmers Blvd.

  My sisters in law went there as children and I knew the elder who owned the school.

  He did quite well financially.

  KATE MOSS OR KATE WINSLET?

  by Mary in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just read that kate moss has been given more modelling jobs now that she's been a whole month "clean" of using cocaine which is how she kept her body at skin and bones.

  i hear lots of women say they'd "love to have a body like hers", when we know the only way she can keep that skinny is by using drugs.

  i was told that i was "just jealous" and that "all women would like to be that thin.

  Winslet for me.

  I need the curves and meat.

  Going to bed with Kate Mosss, would be like sleeping with a bike.

  Watch out for the spikes!

  Good for you.

  It won't be easy but knowing the truth is much better for you and your family.

  Good Luck!

  Were the "Pioneers" in your hall treated with favoritism by the Elders?

  by booker-t in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it seems that all of the parts on the theocratic ministry school were given by the pioneers in my old hall.

  also the elders were always complemented on how "sister pioneer" is so zealous and loves jehovah.

  as if sister not pioneering hated jehovah.

  Pioneers were practically worshipped in my old hall. My Mom is a pioneer and she gets special treatment all the time. She also has an unbelieving mate who keeps her well dressed and always pay for her vacations.

  I may have this wrong, but I believe there are certain asemblies overseas that the requirements are that you need to be a pioneer for a determined number of years to qualify to go as a delegate.

  My Mom has gone to Japan and various countries in Europe as a delegate.

  If that's not treating a group special I don't know what is.
