  Watch out for cheating gas stations.

  by HappyDad in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm going to check all the gas stations from now on when i refuel.

  this is from an email i got from a friend.

  there was a report that 1 out of 4 gas stations had calibrated their pumps to show more gas being pumped than what you actually got.. here is how to check a pump to see if you are getting the right amount.. whatever grade you are using, put exactly 10 gallons in your tank, then look at the dollar amount.

  yippyskippy......

  you are a gem and I congratulate you for your decision. This old HappyDad and ex elder wishes every spouse who has come to JWN can have the same happiness as your spouse.

  Your letter is wonderful......but I would wait a day or so until the bubbly wears off a little. Change a few words and then submit it. Let them know you are not a robot.

  Sacolton......this is a dream come true for you!

  A cheap remedy is boric acid powder....preferably blue boric acid powder that I haven't seen in many years. The white will do though!

  Just make a line of powder (like cocaine snorters do) along the baseboards. The ants and other insects have to cross it to wherever they are going and it eventually kills them all. I learned this while working for the Orkin army.

  They don't use because expensive chemicals that act faster bring in more money. That's understandable!

  No More Work on Saturdays at Bethels Worldwide

  by Lost-In-Translation in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a letter was read at tonight's meeting announcing that the governing body has decided to stop work on saturdays at all bethels worldwide.

  bethel workers are encouraged to now spend saturdays with their local congregation in field service.

  the new arrangement goes into effect june, 2009.. what do you think are the motives for such a change?.

  Motives? Hmmmmmmmmm...............

  From what I read here, they have sub-contracted so much work out and laid off (so to speak) so many long time workers that there isn't much to do these days. At least it gives the "faithful" slaves extra time for themselves. I don't think for a minute that they will spend that much time in the preaching work in the congs. they are assigned to but will use the time for having fun.

  Is the District Assembly for the Pittsburgh, PA congs. still held in Cleveland, Ohio?

  The last one I attended was about 3 months after my wife died in 1996. I tried going for one day in 1997 but left after a few hours and came back home. I was mentally on the way out of the borg.

  The only so-called JW family I have are two brothers-in-law (my late wife's brothers). Since I left they no longer have any contact with me. The only way I know anything about their families is through my daughter (also an exJW) who is still loved and treated royally by her "JW for the sake of family" cousins.

  James Gandolfini from the Sopranos.

  Same build but I have less hair. I'm bald on top! And somewhat the same attitude he portrays on screen.

  No Mr. Doe, it isn't tacky to attack someone's spelling. Especially when they think they are knowledgeable enough to have a web page or to act superior over others.

  Spelling is a basic that should be learned in grade school. Just goes to show how bad the educational system is these days. Or could it be that JW's (and others) never applied themselves in school thinking they would never have to work at a full-time job or a career!
