I'm living in Kentucky but I'm still Canadian. Hamilton, Ont. I almost feel related to everyone. I have family in almost all the places mentioned. Morris may be you knew my Granny from London, before she passed back in 94? My Dad is in Moose Jaw, Sask. I had to drive to Regina to fly back home a couple years ago. My brother is in Edmonton. Had a cousin in Toronto. My Aunt still lives in London. Does'nt anyone stay in one place anymore?

I FOUND A JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
by Jesika inwell, the search is finally over, i found a job.
i am working for a promotional advertising company, and they are hired by other companies like--crayola, harley davidson, bed bath and beyond, disney, etc to promote new products that will be coming out.
so, someone at my level in the company, goes to area businesses and shows them to people and they can buy them at about 80% off what the product will retail for when it hits the stores.

Free Willy,
From what you say I would think that there would be no reason what so ever to need to tell #1 about #2. You have not agreed to commit in anyway (a few dates does not a commitment make). If casual dating is all you are doing then date away. Now I would think the waters would get alittle muddy if it is casual sex. Sex makes a bond even if not spoken. No need for the neighbour to know you are dating is there? Does she know all your comings and goings? How can you meet all the fish in the sea if you are in a fishbowl with just one? Date away. If you are asked by one or two be honest.

Trying to Send German Comedian to District Convention :-)))))
by GermanXJW inwell, stefan raab is a famous german singer and comedian, maybe comparable to tom green.
he usually harasses big events and let the people there look a little stupid.
he even it made to represent germany at the european song contest with a song that made no sense at all.

I finally found the error of my ways and did it right this time. You got the big 5 from me.
I would have rather won a million dollars though.

This is all I got and I haven't got a clue what it says.
None of it looks like 5 to me, sorry.
Does it say "Congratulations! You just won a Million Dollars?"

Unc,
Just think of the sorrow in those fine peoples hearts when they return home to find all the food in there fridges spoiled because the power went out and you didn't call the electritian. What kind of house sitter are you? Really though most people would not eat in restaruantes if they knew what the kithchen looked like. I try not to think about it. Generally if what you can see looks bad, you can pretty much bet that what you can't see is even worse..............Yuck

by chachasmum ini was just wondering has anybody noticed that there's not as many threads being posted since the new forum was put in place?
i only get to come to the forum on the weekends so i have really noticed this and wonder why?
is it just me not being able to find them or are there really less topics being posted.

I for one have been having a really hard time posting stuff so I have'nt been until all the kinks are worked out. I either lose them or double them
I also am not seeing new posts. It was hours this morning and nothing. Then all of a sudden there is two new pages. I know things slow down but nothing new since last night? I'm just not getting new posts. I'm going crazy......................

i have a "worldly" boyfriend whom i love dearly, and i no longer attend the "meetings".

Welcome to the board Sandy.
Please stay around awhile and don't let the boogy man scare you. There really are not demons around every corner. Yes there are some very very hurt people here, that does'nt make them demons. They come here to heal from their pain. They can vent here and have people who know what they are talking about. The only protestors here I think, are the ones trying to protect the kids from molesters. Somebody has to do it and my hat goes off to those who can. (I personally do not know of any people who have been molested in my little world) but that does'nt mean there are'nt any.
You won't find me protesting anything. I was raised a JW. I was kicked out of the JW's because I was'nt perfect. My biggest gripe is how they take the spirit out of children, they expect them to be perfect little adults. They are children and have an over abundance of energy. They are constantly corrected at meetings for doing what kids do best. They don't let children learn in a fun, age appropreate manner. Did you really have fun in the KH as a kid? I was there. I can count on one hand the times growing up that we had anything like fun for kids. Yes, children should be taught to behave, no question about that, but how? Fear? Were you afraid as a child? I was terrified of God. I was terrified of Demons, I was terrified of Armageddon, I was terrified of being tortured, I was terrified of getting sick or hurt and not getting blood to save my life. How does a small child cope with these fears? There were some fun loving families, but I was'nt in one them, maybe you were? Yes, there were some families that thought of their children as kids and let them do things kids do (very few) but I was'nt in one them. I was in my family (my JW Grandmother) and that is what I learned. Believe it or not after reading posts on here, my life was moderate, compared to the strictness of some. I can hardly tell you how painful it was for me to stand out in the hall during Birthday parties at school, or standing out in the hall for a Valentines party, Halloween party, or Christmas party, knowing I would not have any little cards or cupcakes or bags of candy. I felt isolated, unexcepted, and unloved and I was suppose to wear this with a badge of honor? Did'nt work out that way. In my little mind I could not understand all the little cut and dry answers they told me to tell my little friends, and I surely could'nt feel good about it in my little childs heart and mind.
Sorry, I did'nt mean for this to be so long. I just could'nt do that to my kid. After many years I have found a loving God. Everyone here has a story to tell. Some are very bad. Bashing is a way for them to heal and move on. If you are around long enough you can see many of them healing after venting a few times and getting a few doses of understanding, and support. We won't try to convert you. Ask your questions, we will answer. Don't be afraid to listen.
