  It would be interesting to compare her IP address

  Not quite sure how this would work - doesn't it vary?

  I sort of agree with you Jeannie, but

  If Holly is deaf, and isolated

  ...she has mentioned having children (don't know what ages they are)....so she isn't ''isolated'' and has responsibilities....and having JWism thrust upon young minds is NOT a good thing, and often has its own consequences...

  I'll be sorry to see you leave Holly - we joined at about the same time and I've thoroughly enjoyed your postings. I wish you well and hope you find what you've been looking for. PLEASE, however, remember your children in this.

  BOBFOC - Body Off Baywatch, Face Off Crimewatch.

  That one's from 'Roger's Profanisaurus' (a takeoff of 'Roget's Thesaurus') in ''VIZ'' magazine - lol - for all those who don't read Viz, it's an adult comic.

  Welcome Kellex

  If you notice, most churches do NOT have windows

  I personally cannot think of ONE church without windows - all the traditional ones have beautiful stained glass windows. (Newer Churches having ordinary windows).

  dubspeak follies

  by what_Truth? in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  what would you think if i told you "last thursday i went to the service meeting at the kingdom hall to hear the presiding overseer give a talk from the platform.

  most of us here know that to mean "last thursday i went to church to hear the head pastor give a sermon on the door to door ministry from the pulpit", a pretty common and straight forward event for a jehovah's witness.

  i asked my pennicostal wife what she thought the phrase meant and she guessed it had something to do with slavery and human sacrifice.

  ''Publisher'' is one I just took as read - until a comment on here made a little ''ding'' lightbulb flash in my head! PUBLISHER - why that word? It's secular (and that's another dub-favourite word). If I didn't know better I'd think it was an 'in-joke' at Brooklyn....

  I was called by a JW wanting a favor...

  by Dawn in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  yep - you read that right.. i had a message on my answering machine - a jw i used to know long ago, left a message, wanting me to help out with some legal matters (i have worked for the criminal justice system for about 15 yrs now).. my husband just about had a cow - here's someone who wouldn't talk to me at the grocery store, but has no problem talking to me if they need something?

  i thought to myself, could this person really be that nieve about human social situations - ie: if you're going to be mean to someone, don't expect a favor from them .

  ok ok, i know - i should show more christian attitude, turn the other cheek, and call this person back.
