i'm so sad to see him gone.. what would you do to jon if you met him in real life?
he creeps me out like nothing else.
Rupert
Jon Hubby does'nt believe such language comes out of me when I hear him say anything. How did he make it so far? And what is with the fingers thing? >-- --<
I feel much better now
I picked Lil in the pool at work. She gags me. She is so useless. I hope Sandra wins. She did so good getting things for her team when they landed. It will be interesting when Rupert has his say. He did'nt take being voted against very well.
i didnt get a name yet... did i miss a thread or something??
?
I have'nt gotten a name yet either. It's cutting it real close for international exchanges. Last I saw Kelpie was begging everyone to get their information in (she provided a list of who had not yet done so).
i don't want to piss anybody off with this post so please don't get offended.
my family always goes all out for thanksgiving and x-mas.
part of that going all out means lots of booze.
I have 21 years sobriety.
The son needs to make the choice to go or not. The family is not obligated to do differant then usual because of one, in my opinion. I went to drinking events shortly after I got out of rehab. I did fine because I chose to. I do remember my then mother in law jumping between me and someone who asked me if I wanted a drink, she said "NO". I think she figured I couldn't say no. I did and still do. If the son can't say no now, then he needs to go elsewhere until he can.
I think a family setting is a good starting place for getting back into the real world. He and only he controls what goes in his mouth. Best of luck to him. He can do it.
please help!
i have a huge power-point presentation due by friday, and need some depiction from the wtbts concerning the "dangers" of the occult or spiritism.
it deals with the tremendous variations of our world and how "evil" is defined and relative to each individual (ex; the i-ching is vital to confucianism, but feared by jw's, the crusades sought to "save" everyone by forcing conversion to catholicism, but tortured and blinded non believers with agonizing hot iron rods, etc.....)
If I'm not mistaken (wouldn't be the first time) I saw on here once a picture of all the spirit things they were afraid of. It struck me as strange that they would put a oueji (sp) board on a picture they would carry around.
after reading sevenofnines post i was wondering........who gets the money?.
who at the top (gb) gets to live in extravagant homes, be driven in limos, take fantastic vacations and buy what ever they want?
my stupidity maybe showing but where does the gb live, bethel?

In a larger room then anyone else? Someone somewhere has got to be living high on the hog from the sweat of free labor and a blanket of tax exemption.
Are they building another Neverland for all the returning profits as in years past? Will they buy out Michael and save some money (just kidding on that one, did they set him up to clear the way? just kidding on that one too) They are not charitable so we know it does'nt go to help others. Over head does'nt take it all back, taxes don't take it, property & building anew does'nt get it all so WHO GETS THE MONEY?
i need it for ajw dating site, i saw someone on there i know!

What is the first song number of the service meeting as listed in the October 2003 Kingdom Ministry for the week of the 27th : so I can join?
I read it in the thread above.
i am a new poster, old lurker.
my hubby is an ex-jw so i am keenly interested in the discussions.
my mother told me she recently caught the tail-end of a television commercial sponsored by jehovah's witnesses.
ok matty and i are having a disagreement (we'll tell you who likes what later after we get some input)... .
when you eat a standard sandwich (made with flat white/wheat square bread with lunchmeat) which is a given: .
1. that butter would be spread on the bread unlesss otherwise requested.
I grew up were every sandwich was buttered, yuck. I don't like butter unless it is melted. I prefer mustard. Tuna gets mayo. BLT mayo.
there were several posters from a couple years ago that i really miss talking to here are a few that i can remember off hand:.
trauma hound.
windchaser.
I miss Mimilly, wish she would check in. I hope she is well.
I also miss Kempo Dragons posts.

two witnesses have the job of standing next to the door and that Bias had this job ''on different occasions.''
Does that mean he did it?
