  I saw Rollins in person this year. He does a show in a smaller venue in my town every so often. He could fill up one of the larger venues but plays to a more intimate audience. I thought he was fantastic. He even heckled ME because I was getting a little too rowdy. (Thanks to long line of comp'd drinks)

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i wanted to post this research i did that helped convince my husband a few years back that it was o.k.

  to celebrate christmas, despite the objections he was taught by the watchtower.

  hopefully this will help others out there ease their conscience about this particular day.

  elder 1,. .

  i will be in town on xxxxxx, december xxx.

  i'm sure you would agree that my everlasting life is an important enough reason to revisit some of the outstanding questions i posed last year to be addressed.

  I'd ask why you cannot see the policy. Ask for a copy with non-related material blocked out so confidentiality can be preserved.

  That fifth paragraph, man I thought you were describing me there for a second.
  
  *whew!*
  
  Especially the parts about the mothers. They thought I was the best thing under the sun as a teenaged boy.

  That is a bargain brand soda. It has versions of well-known brands.
  
  It used to be served at the summer conventions and it was always warm.

  JW's in Coffee Shop Using ME as a Lesson to their Children

  i am sort of shocked and wonder if i pulled this same kind of sh*t as a witness.

  i already know jw's believe they are better than everyone else, what with being god's only chosen people and all that.. well, i am sitting at my table, minding my own business.

  there is a group of six jw's at the next table, three adults, three kids.

  JW's - Who Started Smoking Once You Left?

  by BBOARD in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for those of you who grew up as a jw (or not) you knew what, according to jehovah/wts, was expected of you in terms of strict morals and conduct.

  how many of you never touched a cigarette or smoked while being raised as a jw but suddenly started once you left for various reasons ie just to be rebellious, to fit in with "wordlings", to overcompensate for your restricted youth etc.

  i know i did and it feels great except for the nasty smoke smell.

  I enjoy my tobacco pipes every so often.
  Have a few cigars in my humidor.
  I carry really expensive cigarettes around in my bag for when I feel the need. A pack can last two weeks or more depending on how generous I'm feeling.
  
  I'm much more into the ritual of smoking than the rote, mindless action of lighting up one after another.

  My prayer for OBVES

  by lovelylil in

  2. friends

  obves,.

  i have joined in on your threads to give you a little kidding now and then but seriously man, i am praying for you that you have true peace in your life.

  reading your threads it seems like you believe in the watchtower version of god who is a very unforgiving, unmerciful god who will destroy men, women and children just because they don't understand a certain bible verse or do not understand bible chronology on a certain topic.
