"What the [fill in the word appropriate for the person speaking] is going on here?" and then the second thing, once they look around and see all of the so-called worldly people right along side them would be "What a gyp!"

The first thing out of a JW's mouth
by Nosferatu in.

No, thank you! Like Wednesday, I'm over in Best Of all the time. As a newcomer to the board, it's great having that wealth of information in one easy-to-find place. My thanks also go out to all the folks who posted those threads originally.

Yes, my grandfather claims to be one of the anointed. He's such a monumental ass, that I find it hard to believe that throughout the last 2000 years, 144,000 worthier people couldn't have been found. My mom's take on it is that maybe having a few a**holes in heaven is part of the divine plan. Go figure.

Problem recieving Watchtower & Awake "again"
by Dolllie ini posted earlier in the summer about some "racist" witnesses who told me that i could not recieve the watchtower & awake magazines, or attend the kingdom hall, because i was black & blacks were not able to understand the bible, "it was not for them".. i wrote a letter to the watchtower society & got a response!.
i moved out of that immediate area, a couple of towns(about 40 minutes away).
i contacted the watchtower society after moving here to have someone bring me the watchtower & awake.

As far as racism in Connecticut goes, I can believe that Waterbury would be among the worst places. Nevertheless, I grew up as a JW in Connecticut and your experience surprised me. In my experience, JWs are happy whenever they don't get the door slammed in their face in field service. If they found someone who wanted their
crapliterature, I'd expect them to be rejoicing all the live-long day. -

"Tobacco is the Devil?s weed employed for the purpose of demoralizing human creatures..."
Well that seems like an apt observation from the Devil's organization employed for the purpose of demoralizing human creatures. I guess it takes one to know one.

Dolllie,
You mentioned that you're about an hour outside of New York, so that would put you around Stamford (?). I'm in Connecticut, too, so I'm just curious about where this sort of thing might happen.
Thanks,

Brain surgeon or easy bake oven chef?
by seven006 inwhich one are you more qualified to be?.
mnimus is out of town on business, i'm just filling in for him while i wait for my jeans to finish drying in the dryer.
while i type this (jeanless), my butt cheeks seem to keep sticking to my black leather office chair.

Dave,
Certainly the brain has blood. As for the guts, I'm guessing that one would encounter guts in medical school before becoming a brain surgeon. Like you, I'm not a brain surgeon, so the preceeding guess is exactly that. Although, now that I'm thinking about it, cooking does involve both blood and guts from time to time. Ew, maybe I should just stick with frozen dinners.
As for my boyfriend, he is a ludite and hates technology, including cordless phones. Yet, he also hates spending money, so he refuses to buy a corded phone when we already have plenty (two, to be exact) of functional cordless phones. Plus, I think he just likes to complain. About the jeans, he thinks I have too many clothes in general. Also, he'd like to see me naked more...or so he claims.
I hope your damp jeans soothed your, um, office seat chair. I would imagine there are few things more painful than a burn on an...office seat chair.
Regards,
Margie

Hi Blues,
I just came across this thread today and I hope answering it at this late date isn't a problem. Anyhow, I had ideopathic epilepsy as a child and had petit mal seizures. I was on phenobarbitol from age 8 until age 13. Fortunately, the seizures stopped once I was medicated and I "grew out" of the condition. I understand that the form of epilepsy I had is treated with different medication today and that those treated the with phenobarbitol went on to develop psychological problems (of which I have plenty) at a higher rate than the general population. LOL, draw your own conclusions.
Anyway, I hope that you are doing well now. More is being learned all the time about the treatment of epilepsy.
Yours,
Margie
