  I keep mine at 78 (F), my average electric bill for my 1650 sq ft. home is $145.00 a month (includes a/c, cooking, hot water and clothes dryer). The air conditioner does not make the air colder, it pulls the humidity out of the air, so the only thing that happens when it's set really low is the evaporater coil freezes.

  The weatherman told us tonight, that the temp was going to go up, so we'll be experiencing severe condiitons just like the Southwest has been experiencing. So far it's only been getting to the mid 90's here Florida. However, I'll take the heat as opposed to the hurricanes!

  Should an Elder be involved in any of the following????

  by pr_capone in

  i am asking for a simple opinion here.

  according to the latest jw "laws", should and active witness, much less one serving as an elder, do any work for military institutions such as the air force, navy, and u.s. army?

  i submit the following link http://besappraisals.com/john.html (please copy and paste).

  The Corp of Army Engineers have a lot to do with the Riparian rights along the coast of various states, i.e. underwater land leases (for marinas and docks, etc.) and is not necessarily a military faction. However I know of several witnesses that were disfellowshipped because they worked for Companies that had Government Contracts working on systems for the Military. So how he got away with this being self employed is a big mystery. But then....the elders pretty much do what they want anyway.

  DID YOU EVER 'EMBELLISH' YOUR FIELD SERVICE REPORT???

  by chuckyy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just wondering if anyone ever did put down more hours/placements etc on their report than they actually did.. i know that i did.

  the reason was that i was pioneering and working full time.

  it just got too much and i ended up adding hours.

  Yes, particularly when full time pioneering in below zero weather! I waited for Jehovah to make sure I was found out....he never did! I felt so guilty about it at the time.

  Should you be afraid of being killed by a terrorist?

  by Elsewhere in

  here is how i view it:

  how many people here know someone who died or was seriously injured in a car accident?.

  how many people here know someone who died or was in any way injured by a terrorist attack?.

  Well, let's see...I know of a number of people that have died in car accidents....however I only knew one personally. I lost two very good friends in the September 11, 2001 destruction of the WTC.

  As mentioned previously...the Irish have lived with terrorism for a number of years (ironically in the name of religion as well as politics), I believe terrorism has been affecting people in Isreal, Croatia and Bosnia for a number of years.....I don't think anyone gets used to it....I think we learn to live around it, because if we don't the terrorists win.

  I think this board has probably saved my life, literally. I faded a number of years ago...have stresses since because there were some things I still believed....about six months ago I came across this board and every once in a while I'd visit and read. After finally becoming a member....I've really enjoyed the posts and yes the debates.....the freedom to be able to ask a question or voice an opinion and not be threatened with death is.....wonderful. these past few weeks I have found the constant, underlying depression I have felt for such a very long time disappear! For that I thank each and every poster!

  Katie, I told you before.....pack up your daughter and your partner and come on over.......Richey may be escaping down here after he turns 18 if his Mum gives him too hard a time and I'm sure other's from the JWD will be stopping by to visit.......I've plenty of room and am always up for company!

  And, unless she is totally anti ex-JW, bring your Mom for a visit, she sounds like my kind of person!

  bisous, please don't pull the old....kidnapped by white people and sold into slavery card out of the deck! The majority of slaves were kidnapped by other tribes during class wars among their own people and sold into slaverynot only but the other tribes, but also by their own leaders...I'm not saying whites weren't involved as they were....but they were sold by their own race more often than not!

  I believe very little of what the politicians have to say.....I didn't vote for George W. and I don't like war.....I know why the original settlers came to this country and I know why over the last 200+ years people have continued to immigrate to this country!

  But thanks for the history lesson anyway!
