I have a suggestion, here in New Zealand on your birthday you "shout" that is supply morning or afternoon tea for co workers. If you do this for your birthday, they will be pleased with the "shout" and just accept that things have changed for the better.

Tell your coworkers you're no longer a witness?
by Dune inwell, when i first started working at my current place of employement, i was (still am) a witness.
i went through a whole year of having to explain over and over why i didnt vote, why i didnt celebrate birthdays, thanksgivings, christmas and why i couldnt take part in lotteries and all the rest of that crap.
i'm two years into the job and now it doesnt present a "problem" anymore.

Tactic to bring it down, get people in.
by jwfacts ini was just eatting breakfast and thought of an idea to make the congregations less desirable to be in.
if jws can not/don't want to see through the doctrine, maybe filling the congregations with undesirables will make them think twice about going to meetings.
maybe we should do an advertising campaign to the mentally ill, tell them that meetings are filled with people longing to be their friends.. advertise to the cleptomaniacs that there are plenty of trusting people that leave their bags around.. tell young men that there are plenty of gullible virgins that still have a 1950's view of male superiority and headship.. and all they have to do to become a member is pretend to go preaching 10 hours a month for 6 months.

I won a small lottery it enabled me to not work for a couple of years, travel Africa and Europe. Parents had alway taught me not to buy raffle tickets and so I used to give a donation. One woman insisted on giving me a ticket. Mum and Dad didn't say a word. My picture made it to the local paper. I guess I was no longer used as an example on how people are bad and have a hard life when they leave the "toof"

I threw my first. I had just moved into a flat so had my 21st there. As I worked for an electrical firm, so plenty of men, went to the early hours of the morning. Neighbours complained but a good time had by all who attended.

Will Jehovah prevent men from going to Mars?
by truthseeker in.
a few of the friends i have spoken to over the years seemed to think that jehovah would never allow man to leave the planet and visit another.. "we have to get this planet right first", they said.. i thought at the time, perhaps the furthest man would be allowed to go would be the moon.. recently, president bush announced a new space initiative for nasa - first the moon by 2017, then mars by 2020-2030.. what are your thoughts?.

Why would jehovah bother. If he is looking for things to do poverty and famine are still on going and don't forget sickness.

Born in hated it. Left home at 17 stayed in the same town. But at the ripe old age of 27 I won first prize in a raffle, not a huge one but more than enough for a house deposit. So with in two weeks of winning I hit London. Traveled on and off through Europe and Africa for the next two years. Total lenght of stay in another hemisphere 7 Years. I married over there (no crap at my wedding) but to a New Zealander who loves my home town so thats where we are now.
