  Refusing magazines/books from JW relatives

  by JustTickledPink in

  recently my mother dropped in on us and in front of other people, very nicely handed me some trinkets aka dust collectors for my house and some wts magazines.

  the way she handed everything to me at once i just held out my hands and took it all.. i threw the magazines away immediately, i consider them trash and don't even want them around... but then decided exactly what i was going to do.

  i am going to buy a yard sale cross or virgin mary statue and give it to my mom.. i specifically told her i don't want any publications and she slipped them in anyways.... so, on that note, she hates any religious icons, i am going to give her something that she doesn't want.

  And by the way... those garage sale trinkets and dishes she dropped off for me... her gift??? Well, she asked me to pay her $27 for them because she went out of her way and picked me some things up. So I actually was nice enough to pay her for them, even though everything wasn't my style or taste. That's how she gives me gifts, recycled garage sale or thrift shop finds that she charges me for. Maybe that is why I felt a bit snarky about the whole thing.

  Tickled Pink, $27 for garage sale crap? Could that be her way of getting a 'donation' for the wonderful spiritual feast she delivered?

  Off topic, but we have wonderful witness relatives who operate in the same gift-grift style. Is this a standard operating procedure for witnesses, or are we just related to people who have elevated donation solicitation to an art?

  i was envolved about 16 years ago in a committee that sole purpose was to disfellowship a respected member of the congregation for being an apostate.

  we recieved information from the wt legal department and co and do on how to proceed.

  often the co and do would meet with us individually to sort of direct the process.

  Kenneson, I've heard Mamou is great! Real people, family oriented, good food and music. Not a tourist trap like New Orleans. I know it is silly, but I enjoy being on the curb elbow to elbow fighting for five dollar a gross trinkets.

  JWD "clusters" - name one ;-)

  by Pole in

  this is fluff stuff.

  you must have noticed posters on many threads tend to come in clusters.

  whenever one of the members of the "cluster" starts a thread, another few are very likely to post on his/her thread.

  i am looking for any tips that might get me help getting my tubs and spots on my linoleum floor white.

  i have soaked the tubs in bleach water and although it helped some, there still is some staining that i can't quite scrub out, and the same on my linoleum floor.

  Sassy, I have had good luck with Restore4 cleaner. It works on mold, mildew and rust. I think they sell it at Walgreens and other drug/discount stores. I know I have seen it on TV too.

  The $20 Bill

  by Amazing1914 in

  this note bears the image of andrew jackson, 7th president of the us, 1829-1837. as president, he got congress to pass a law that evicted all native indian tribes from all territory east of the mississippi river to the west.

  the cherokee tribe living in the state of georgia chose to file suit against the us government instead of going on the war path.

  the case went all the way to the us supreme court.

  How about Standing Bear, who's court case established the fact that the 'Indian' was a citizen of the US under US law?
