  I've been buying and selling on Ebay for 6 years. I have never had any problems.

  Make sure the person you buy from has lots of positive feedback a higher number is usually better but not if they have a lot of negative comments.

  I'd also make sure what the shipping costs are before you bid because some people over charge on shipping and take advantage. Especially if they are shipping it Internationally.

  Happy Bidding!

  How stressed were you as a JW?

  i don't know about you guys, but it stressed me alot to be a jw.. i never did like talking in public, in front of a group, or going door to door.. gee, i hated the tms meeting.

  the moment i knew that i had a talk, i became nervous and often i had a hard time sleeping.

  just knowing that i had to talk for 5 minutes in front of the whole congrgation got me nervous weeks ahead of time.

  I was not a JW but just trying to act like one to make hubby happy. It was incredibly stressful to me to try and be so perfect and happy all the time.

  Not to mention 3 meetings a week with a brand new baby and the damn sisters popping in all the time when they were out in field service when I was trying to rest or the baby finally went to sleep.

  Plus if we missed a meeting we got 20 phone calls at least and usually a visit the next day.

  Lord help me if I had a single thought for myself without all those good JW's there to think it for me first!

  Are JWs the Ultimate Modern Suicide Cult?

  by Gill in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  jws lives are regularly put on the line by their religious beliefs or by the rules made by the wtbts.. if they become sick or injured they cannot accept for themselves or their loved one a blood transfusion that may save their lives.. if they live in an intolerant society, they may not purchase simple papers that could prevent them being tortured or murdered.. they go regularly to the homes of strangers and speak to total strangers and risk life and limb.

  some have died because of this very practice.. so, are jws the ultimate modern suicide cult?.

  i can't think of any religion, other than the suicide bombers of islam, that believe strongly in martyrdom, as the jws do.. how many jws could be dying every day because of the wtbts instructions?.

  What about Christian Scientists, Amish, and Mennonites? Couldn't you say the same about them? They often refuse life saving medical treatments because they wait on God.

  Aren't they suicide cults too?

  My cousin drives and owns one of those huge monster trucks in all the monster truck shows. It's very cool. He makes a good living doing it and gets to live out his childhood dreams daily.

  Not so easy to park at the grocery store though...LOL!

  Man Shoots Two Mormons Going Door To Door

  POSTED: 7:57 am EST January 3, 2006

  CHESAPEAKE, Va. -- A Mormon missionary going door to door was fatally shot Monday night and a fellow missionary was wounded by an assailant who fled, police said.

  The attacks happened just after 6 p.m. in the Deep Creek area of the city, police said, when a man approached the two, shot them and ran away.

  One of the victims ran to a nearby nursing home seeking help, police said.

  The missionaries were identified by church spokesmen Dale Bills and Michael Purdy as Elders Morgan Young, 21, of Bountiful, Utah, and Joshua Heidbrink of Greeley, Colo. Chesapeake police said he is 19.

  They were taken to Sentara Norfolk General Hospital, where Young later died, spokeswoman Cheri Hinshelwood said. Heidbrink was upgraded to good condition Tuesday morning, she said.

  Police described the gunman as a black male about 5 feet 10 inches . They said he was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and denim jeans.

  Police shut down part of the neighborhood while searching for the man.

  "This is close to home," said Bobby Gatling, who said he has lived on the block for two years. "Nothing like this has ever happened here before."

  There was no immediate word on what prompted the shootings.

  I was born in Petaluma, so the flooding is nothing new to me. I remember the flooding in the 80's. My family is off of McDowell and aside from some water leaking into one of the windows they are safe. Thankfully!

  My mom had a hard time getting home from work in Vallejo to Vacaville, she said that it was flooded in area's out by Travis Air Force Base.

  I miss home, but not in the rainy season.

  We got 2 inches of snow here last night!

  My parents are in Vacaville and a lot of the rest of my family are in Petaluma and surrounding area's. They said that their backyards are completely flooded. I hope everyone on this board is okay and continues to stay okay.
