  A Major Dream Has Been Fulfilled!!!!!

  it has always been a dream of mine to transfer to, and graduate from the university of southern california.

  last year i applied, and about two weeks ago i was accepted.

  that was cool, but i had no way of paying for it, and the financial aid i applied for would not cover enough of the tuition, and other fees.

  Is there a JWD mindset?

  by beginnersmind in

  2. beliefs

  not sure if this is the correct place to post this but i thought it would be better in here out of the choices.

  the title was to hopefully make you at least be interested in this post whereas the politically correct non generalised question might be "is there a mindset of some on jwd?.

  a while back i was browsing the forums and 2 posts stood out.

  The question is a fair one, but the evidence is anicdotal and pretty thin at best!

  Bee Population

  by onlycurious in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  has anyone heard about the new scare about the decline in the bee population?.

  i guess the bees are not returning to the queen bee and they are dying.

  trying to figure out why this is happening but if it doesn't turn around, all of us will be 'starving' in 4 years.

  Honey bees are responsible for less than 20% of the pollinating in the northern hemisphere. IF they all vanished, other dipterans would fill the niche left void. No starving in the offing. carmel

  ok, it's not really mine per say, but i will be learning to ride it and i'm so excited!!.

  as i posted on the daily journal thread - we picked this up on saturday.

  hubby has been wanting a bike for so long, and with the price of gas, and his commute - it will pay for itself in no time.. it's a suzuki boulevard m50, 800cc, fuel injected, liquid-cooled, v-twin engine (whatever that means!!)..

  Disfellowshipping question

  by DJK in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have heard a rumor that an elder or former elder was disfellowshipped because none of his siblings (6) baptized and all left the witlesses when they turned 18.. is it possible?

  i'm afraid to ask anyone who may have knowledge of it because they will tell someone i had asked.. djk, of the leader of the pack class.

  My father was "removed" from his role, can't remember what it was, because of my dfing. But not likely anyone would get the boot for their kids choices... on the other hand, don't most dubbies and other Xtians thing we are responsible for what old Adam ate in the garden? carmel
