  if a dub needed your help as in a medical emergency or in getting employment/job contract or in getting your support in a dispute with someone on a non religious issue or in some other way such as in a car break down would you help them?

  Two JW midgets around here.

  One is a talented singer and taxi-driver, famous for his karaoke-taxi. (Appeard on a TV-show just a few weeks ago.)

  The other guy is a part time stand-up comedian.

  What does your name MEAN?

  2. friends

  we all are identified by our names here on jwd.

  some use their real names, and others pick a moniker that is their nickname or perhaps a few words from a song they like.. why did you pick your name?.

  for instance,.

  My name is a funny twist on the name of the JW-organisation boss in my country for the last 35 years. His name is Thor Samuelsen.

  actually i have a friend in mexico who wants a green card.

  i cannot see any purpose in marrying a very large, spanish speaking, gay man in order to get him a green card.

  but still he did learn to tell me he loves me in english.

  Name Some Trivial Things That Are Big Deals To JWs

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so many things come to mind to show how silly jws sound in reality.

  for example, being allowed to pass the microphones is a big deal, especially to a young brother.

  or being given the "privilege" of cutting the grass or working on a "quick-build" is really something special to a jw.
