  Two Full Time Jobs or A Balanced Family Life

  by sammielee24 in

  geesh - i didn't think anything could top bush's ridiculous, moronic, arrogant comment about how lucky americans were that they could work 3 jobs...i'd really like to see him do the one he has without taking months off on vacation, but hey, never going to happen.

  right now the government is trying to figure out a way to make the recession a short one and here's a wonderful quote from 2 of the republicans - ...i cannot wait for the elections to come.

  topping congresss agenda as it returns this week is a plan to jump-start the economy and try to shorten the slowdown that many economists say has already begun to take hold.

  Yikes!

  Bush is to blame for everything argument again?

  I heard the left now say the Republicans are rigging the election machines in Hillary's favour because they think they have a better shot at beating her! LOL! Funny!

  So what does a JW think when they read verses like these?

  1. They don't.

  2. The WT has perfect answers to explain those scriptures away that are totally accepted by the Brethren.

  Check out this person's loving Christian answer:

  by ~I ? Pioneering~

  If you really are a witness like you claim you can look in your KM and get the date.

  Here's my response to THEM:

  Typical JW response.
  
  "I Love Pioneering" loves going door to door but a potential inactive or discouraged person asks for the Memorial date and they get insulted.
  
  Nice judging there! Try to love people first before loving pioneering!

  Sick of the pompous, judgmental crap!

  JW.. a Broke A$$ Loving People.

  just telling it like it is.... so you have the mormons.. like there are a lot of rich mormons.

  mitt romney being one of them.. then there's the scientology people.

  yes... also an alternative religion like jw and mormons.. like there are tons of rich scientologists in tom cruise world.. and i know that in jw there are some wealthy people.. but i tell you, in jw the overall feel is that being poor is glorified.. my experience is there is a ton of descrimination in the organization.

  My dad worked for Northrop in a very high paying position, the elders told him to quit his job and apply as a school janitor, or parks department, he didn't so they DF'd him.

  The topic is about having money in the "Truth".

  Your Dad didn't get DFd for making good coin. May I make the leap and say it was probably because he worked for a military defense manufacturer!

  I have a family member who had a talk at a Circuit Ass and was LITERALLY physically pinned against the wall back stage before his talk and told: "Don't think your family money will get you into the new system!"

  australians will be forced to contact their internet service provider to avoid having their access to the web restricted.. .

  the restrictions are planned by the federal government to give greater protection to children from online pornography and violent websites.. .

  No one is asking someone else to teach their kids.

  A little help blocking the crap on the Internet would just be helpful.

  P.S. Still can't believe the inequitable support for total access to the Internet in any family home.

  The best way is to to be smart and teach how to be

  My point was that an increasing number of parents don't give a crap! So why not take measures to try to protect our kids?

  Anyway, as I said last night, I seem to be in the minority.

  So I now agree, thanks to you all, that my 12 and 10 year old daughters should have total access to the Internet.

  Thanks for straightening me out!

  Maybe, if they are lucky, they can even meet one of the stars of Dateline's "To Catch a Predator"!

  Next time a JW knocks at your door.....

  by yknot in

  2. friends

  why not accept the offer to study two jw books, in return that the caller study the franz books?

  it would be fairly easy to set up a study schedule and questions.. what is the worse that could happen?

  someone desparate enough for a study to agree or the caller getting back in the car and marking your house with a big fat red a on the territory map.. thank you for considering my moment of apostate evilness.. y.
