Who can and can't a JW sit next to at the hall?

by JH in

.

there are so many unwritten laws, but most witnesses know when it's wrong to sit next to someone.. name a few cases, when it's ok to sit next to someone, and when it's not ok?

.

Our unwritten rule was:

If a unmarried brother sits next to a unmarried sister two times in a row (like this sunday, and next one), it means that they are engaged. If for some other reason this should happen, then everybody was sure you were engaged and it could take a long time and a lot of talking to assure everybody you were not.

There were no rules of married persons sitting with someone of the opposite sex, if it were a couple (man and with, next to them a sister could sit next to the brother, no problem).

Talesin, you are right!

I am sorry. I was totally wrong about the prices. I made the wrong pre-euro conversion, sorry.... The cheapest one 9980 euro here.

That would be starting at 13000 $. ( abit more complete or diesel engine one around 15000 - 20000 $)

The car does have airbags, and they are not very unsafe.

In collission tests they score okay. (reasonably safe).

The price is a bit high aroud $40000 new.

edited to add: They have enough room for groceries and things like that. (well enough for us, I do not know about the amounth of groceries americans buy :)

At 6'4" and 300 lbs., I don't think this would be a Smart car "ForMe". Actually that is not a roblem.
If you are 6'4" or 6"2 it is pretty okay, and comfortable. The chairs and rooms feels bigger and more confortable then a corolla also. The only problem, it is overpriced (this model)

Poverty in Poland

im watching the bbc now, and theres a report about ex coal miners in poland.

they have no jobs, and so instead they attack coal trains, hang onto the side and pull the wagon doors open while the train in moving.

then people move in and collect the spilled coal from the side of the tracks.

DannyBloem

It will also mean people coming to Poland, for example there are (I have heard) already a lot of farmers from some of the western countries, because they are still able to find space in Poland, where in some other countries this is very hard.

if someone held a gun to your head and threatened to blow your brains out unless you worshiped jesus and went to church, which christian church would you choose?

no pansy churches like the unitarians though.

it has to be a fundamentalist denomination.

No pansy churches like the Unitarians though. It has to be a fundamentalist denomination. For me I think it would be the Christadelphian's, close runner up being Pentecostal, then the bullet.

hmm, that sums up how I feel at the moment, going to KH every sunday. Jw-ism. If I could chooce he church?
-catalolic church, maybe, youc an at least do almost anything you like. or the raelian church, love those aliens

I am happy poland has become a part of the EU.

Of course some jobs maybe get lost to some polish immigrants, but then then it is a good thing to shear the wealth that we have. In the long run, it will create more opportunities for everybody.
I think poland is really doing very well. It has improved a lot in the last decades.

welcome!

I recently learnt about the Pastafarians (not Rastafarians). They believe the universe was made by Him, the FSM (Flying Spaghetti Monster).

All pastafarians are stupid, uneducated people. It is really a very bad imitation of the real grand power of the universe, the IPU!
