  Unique but accurate observation about KHs from a "woldly" person

  by Lady Zombie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was out this weekend with a group of my "worldly" friends.

  the majority of them don't know that i'd been a witness in the past, nor did they know that my family still is.. i'm not sure how we got on the subject of religions, but one guy asked, "what's the name of those people who don't have windows in their churches?".

  several guesses were thrown out including amish and mennonites but he shook his head.

  dmv offers 10,000 replacement license platesthursday , june 26, 2008. .

  advertisement raleigh, n.c. .

  thanks to some text message-savvy grandchildren, north carolina drivers whose license plates have the potentially offensive "wtf" letter combination can replace the tags for free.

  i have a feeling i am going to have to explain to my jw folks why i have decided to allow my children to participate in holidays at school.

  theyll probably be wondering too why i will get together with our non jw family for the holidays.. .

  we know jws avoid holidays because of their pagan origins.

  first... i am in no immediate danger of starving damn groceries are getting expensive .

  as an example... i love breyer's all natural ice cream... .

  first...the story of the incredible shrinking ice cream box.... for years and year the box was one half gallon (us)...2 full quarts...then somewhere a couple years back, it shrunk to 1.75 quarts...but in the same size box..... today, i was at the grocery, and seen the stuff was on sale..... hmmmmm...something fishy.... yep... it is now 1.5 quarts.... and i carefully compared the 1.75 box in my freezer with my new 1.5 box.

  Gopher, isn't it possible that the average customer wanted smaller cartons because they didn't finish bigger ones before they spoil? Just playing devil's advocate here. ;-)

  NO WAY! Not when it comes to ice cream! Has anyone ever had ice cream that spoiled? CHOCOLATE MOOSETRACKS RULES!!!!!!!!

  if ed mcmahan were to show up at your door with 1 million dollars do you believe this would help you?

  would your outlook change, and how?.

  1 million dollars would be a major windfall for me.

  Well, I've been thinking about this for a few days----

  1. Pay off all debts

  2. Give some to husband and then tell him to get lost

  3. Help my Mom to get out of her situation

  4. Purchase fuel efficient vehicle

  These women receive free prenatal care including medication, nutrition, birthing classes and child care classes. They also get freebies such as car seats, bottles, diapers and formula.

  It's not fair! I wanted more children and could not afford them even with health insurance! We made enough money to get by but, not low enough to qualify for any kind of assistance.

  my 17 year old son told his dad that he didn't want to be a jw anymore about 8 months ago i think, and doesn't go to meetings or assemblies.

  he's been accepted to one of the best universities in the country and will start this fall, with his dad's blessing.

  their congregation had the summer convention this past weekend.

  All they will do is make him feel bad--they might be trying to use him to get info on YOU! I went thru this when my son was underage and the sneaks would try to talk to him at his job!
