on a thread i started awhile back, the following was in the initial post:.
otherwise, the wife recently purchased some fancy gifts for her family members.
ready to send home, i asked her how her df'ed sibling would feel being left out.
JW's never give each gifts, they have no real holiday to celebrate besides memorial time and they don't exchange anything.
The only times gifts were given:
1. Baby Showers
2.Wedding gifts
3 Anniversary gifts
4. Graduation (reserved for the most pious)
Truth is most dubs are broke and cannot afford much, what little they have they donate to the borg.
The gb's take is why buy your little kid a toy when you can help the borg pay for settlements.
ok this is just wrong!.

This thread is an excellent litmus test for determining who the cheapies are, huh. ;-)
I am frugal, and thats not a crime for those of us that like to save $ I would like to give a shout out to all my cheap peeps
ok, the lemonade thread has prompted me to ask does anyone else have any clever and legal ways to pinch pennies, like the guy did with the lemonade?.
.
any other things you have seen?
Learn to do things yourself.
I am by nature prissy and hate getting dirty.
Well then I bought a large home and became a stay at home mom, so I have had to learn to do things around the house in order to save and make money.
I taught myself to use power tools.
I put down wood floors in the formal areas of my house, I also did my sons room.
I learned to miter and did trim work, crown ,moulding in my house.
I learned that used is good!
Clip coupons.
By fruits and veggies in season.
Learn to sew.

Umm ok, that's kinda hard to do while running on a treadmill.DON'T waste money on expensive iPods/mp3 players. Simply think of your favourite tune and hum it. If you want to "switch tracks", simply think of another song you like and hum that instead.
Clam

I thought it was a joke when I heard you never see any stray cats around the garbage bin at a chinnesse restaurant.
Maybe it wasnt.
can a jw be an organ donor?
i have read they can't give blood but can they carry a donor card?
Good question.
I would like to know the answer, they enjoy freedom and take, take, take but I doubt they give.
lets face it the wbts have an ever increasing fear & paranoia of x-jw websites like this forum where the wbts is exposed for all its dodgy business and people can find out things about the goings on with its members, its leaders & embarassing history of cock ups.
one day in a desperate attempt to put a tighter control on this they might make it an official 'ungodly act' to go online and put it in the same category as a 'secret sin' such as smoking or watching porn films.. any opinions on this anybody???.
lfcv.
I have always felt that day will come, at least I am sure it will come before the big A

There are some kinds of "customers" that aren't wanted.
JD,
I understand what your point, but in this case the owner was wrong.
ok this is just wrong!.

SIDE POINT:
Would it make any difference to you guys if the customer was a Regular Pioneer?
*Open Mind exits. Stage Left. Quickly*
That depends

JG,
Is it just me or are Asian resturant owners pricks?
I have seen them talking down to employees and nit picking.
A few years ago a blind woman went to a local chineese buffet and of course she took her service dog, the owner had a fit and kicked the blind woman and her dog out of the resturant, this outraged the diners and the incident made it on the local news and ACLU threatend to sue the owner.
