during class the teacher asks "who all plan to go to college?

Don't read it......
yep, it's the october long weekend in new south wales - and the nsw mob are posting like crazy, eh jw83?
it's early spring and it's a glorious day to be out and about - it's 34 degrees celsius and mrs ozzie and i are using our aircon for the first time this summer season.. our thoughts are with the bali victims but days like this show us life goes on.. what's your weather doing?
we hear it's very windy and rain for you country woman, vivamus, abaddon and avengers?.
Well, I'm from NSW and I had to work. No fair esp when the sun was shining

it's not often talked about but in my experience a lot of witnesses have sex (or something like it) during their courtship.
and most of them never go to the elders about it.
recent case in point: my dear friend got married this past summer.
The sad part is do they have sex after marriage.
I heard lots of tragic stories when I was asscociated of people chained in loveless relationships

every now and then, someone posts something that exposes their gut reaction to something, which could be completely opposite to a position previously taken, or taken immediately after posting it.
The gut feeling for me is literal. I get a twinge in the belly when I meet someone and they are no good for me.
As soon as I try to rationalise the situation, it is gone. This has only started since leaving jws. It is never wrong....
Sometimes I have over ridden it to my detriment.

i have some quotes from several respected bible linguists regarding the new world translation: .
dr. julius mantey - "a manual grammar of the greek new testament" calls the new world translation "a shocking mistranslation".
dr. bruce metzger, late professor of new testament at princeton university -"a frightful mistranslation", "erroneous", "pernicious", and "reprehensible".
