  Internet credit/debit card fraud

  by Elsewhere in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  saturday morning i woke up and went to my computer to check my bank account to verify that my paycheck direct-deposit had appeared.

  it was there but so were four charges that i could not account for.

  all four charges were for something called http://www.skype.net something i have never heard of.. i called the bank and they said that the charges were from over-seas and that they had complaints from other customers about charges from the same place.. my bank has an internet fraud guarantee, so all of the money will be credited back to my account and they are sending me a new card.. so far there is no harm done to me, but i wanted to give you guys a heads up incase you see something similar appear on your credit or debit card..

  Were You Afraid Of The Elders?.Did Ya Love Em?...What Was Your View of Them

  by minimus in

  i've heard of brothers and sisters saying that they have "prayed for the elders because they love them for their hard work and sacrifice".

  i've also heard of how some in the congregation were petrified of the elders and of course, there were those that said they were either only men or that they were direct representatives of jehovah god himself.

  Vodka anyone???

  1. to remove a bandage painlessly, saturate the bandage with vodka.

  the solvent dissolves adhesive.

  2. to clean the caulking around bathtubs and showers, fill a trigger-spray bottle with vodka, spray the caulking, let set five minutes and wash clean.

  JW OnLine Dating WebSite thoughts

  by Jim_TX in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  okay... i happened onto one of those 'online' dating services for jws.. it doesn't matter which one... i am sure they are all pretty similar.. the first thing i noticed was - in the member profiles... anytime they talk about what they like - and all... when they use words like... assembly... associate... etc.

  the 'online censor' replaces the 'ss' with '**' - don't want anyone using the word 'ass' ya know... even tho one of the apostles had one... or was it... rode on one.... anyway... next in the 'search' options... they allow the prospective searchee to set up parameters to look for... race.... 'drinking' - they forgot 'like a fish'... the closest they get to it is 'regular'.

  'occupation' - ironically, they do not have 'bethelite, 'gillead-ite', 'district overseer' (hey!
