  yesterday's news on apple's transition to intel processors, made me.

  nostalgic over the heyday of alternative platforms.

  If you do something contrary to what the bible teaches, how do you react?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so many verses in the bible are so clear.

  example: don't steal, don't fornicate, don't have sex with a person of the same sex....etc.

  some verses couldn't be clearer.

  Saddest cartoon episode?

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  our kids love the simpsons and futurama but one episode of futurama is just soooo sad, i can barely watch it - it brings a lump to my throat every time!.

  the one with seymour, fry's fossilised dog that the professor is going to bring back to life.

  he decides not to do it because he thinks seymour lived a full life after he got frozen and will have forgotten him.. instead, the dog sat waiting for him all those years ... .

  Need Help!!!

  by TadSexington in

  1. social
  2. family

  i need help..... rather, my grandmother needs help..... okay... back story first..... i was (past tense emphasized) in the truth from the age of 4 until about 12 or so, when my parents divorced and my mother moved us halfway across country, and we eventually just stopped going to the meeting and practicing.... i'm not even going to get into how going from being a congregational poster boy (giving talks at since the age of 8, and all ways being the one out in service, having all the other parents say, "look at little brother 'sexington,' why cant you be more like him?

  ) would screw a kid up..... i'm almost 22 and haven't had a birthday party, and i'm still nervous about blood transfusions, and don't get me started about christmas........ i'm babbling on..... long short, most of my dad's side of the family is still the truth (except for him, which is kind of funny now that i think about it, seeing as he was the most gung ho one of us, being the ministerial servant, jockeying for elder status, forcing yours truly to make and deliver talks, and to kill every saturday and national holiday of my youth out in field service.).

  jeez venting is nice..... but i'm going to try to stay on subject from here on out.... so, i'm in the midwest, and my dad's family is on the west coast, and about a month ago i get a call from my grandmother.

  Did you meet any con artist types there?

  by LongHairGal in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  it seemed to me that there were a number of con artist types of personalities i came across during my years there.

  i am not referring to people who were actually doing anything illegal.

  what i am referring to are people who were very adept at getting things out of other people.
