this is the word of jehovah: alas!
for that day is a great one, so that there is no other like it.
the sound of trembling we have heard, dread, look!
I have kept quiet for a long time, I continued silent. I kept exercising self-control. Now I will destroy and devour at once, says Jehovah.
Maybe we should call the cops. Sounds like Jehover is about to go postal.
What's up with all these crazies posting crap on this board recently?
the world put on notice!

be ready!
Dude, you need to learn sentence and paragraph structure. Perhaps you are a University of Awake alumni? I couldn't get past the few sentences without being bored to tears.

it's -35 degrees celcius here.
with the windchill, it's -45 (that's -49 farenheit for those in the us).
had to let the truck warm up for a good 10 minutes today, and it was solid as a rock (yes, it was plugged in).
It's cold here too 54F 12C!!!
HAHAHAHA!!! Well to us Southern Californians, it's a deep freeze.
tonight the city council of calabasas, calif. banned smoking in all public places.
this includes outside areas including parks, sidewalks, camping areas, etc.. the only areas one can now smoke is in their private residence, on their private balcony but not in a common area, or in their car (so long as they don't exhale out the window).
(there are other areas but not sure of the full ins and outs of the ordinance).
I believe you can not smoke on the beach in a few So Cal cities now. I'm not a smoker and thought the move was a little bit extreme. But maybe it will help a few more people quit. Most smokers say they want to quit, so the more difficult it becomes maybe they will stop.
I work in LA and wished they would be a little more specific about their smoking in buildings law. We have a courtyard style office building. So people just stand outside their door and smoke because they are outside. Unfortunately, on those beautiful sunny days you can't keep your office door open because all the smoke starts to wander inside.
Ironically I think it's funny that some of the same people that want to stop public smoking are the same people that want to legalize marijuana.

you know all the myspace.com warnings that were on here about elders on a witch hunt searching for active jw's blogs and using them against them?
well the elders didn't search but an old aquaintenance did.
she was disfellowshipped for her blogs concerning all the casual sex she was having.
Those stupid elders don't even follow their own advice. I would just post a blog or send them a letter that says "WWJD?"
in november last year my partner applied to become a police officer.
he received a letter saying he had passed stage 1 and would be invited to stage 2 which was an assessment centre.
stage 3 was a fitness test which he was sure to pass as he has been running 6 miles a night in preparation.. we received a letter in february 2006 telling us that 300 people had passes stage 1 but they only had 192 places at the assessment centre therefore he and 107 others had been 'randomly de-selected'.
Yeah here they have affirmative action. I think the people the originally thought it up meant well but it the way it was put into practice just plain sucks. No one is required to use the policy when hiring, but many public sector jobs do. I just hate the fact that although I am the best qualified candidate for the job, I am passed up because they have to fill a ethnic quota. I say may the best qualified candidate win.
But there's always discrimination. For instance, I was at the mall and walked by the Hello Kitty store. All the employees were young Japanese girls. I know that if I applied there to work, I would most likely be told that I'm not right for the job. Even if I was well qualified.
the other day i was in the break room at work, and the topic of strange religions came up.
i started talking about "the church of scientology" and all the weird things they believe with aliens and ancient rulers, etc.
well i was basically right on in their strange stuff, but the whole time was was calling the religion "christian scientist" religion, which is a more acceptable and less weird religion.
People do that all the time. I heard a very informative report on Christian Science and I actually liked some of the stuff they had to say. The modern forms of the religion don't reject medicine as people would have you believe but now use medicine to compliment prayer. Ideally it is one of those mind over matter things and I like the overall theme that you can acomplish anything, including overcoming illness, if you just put your mind to it. I was telling someone else about what I learned and they were confused with Scientology and they kept wanting to argue.
ok. i've just read this in the march 2006 - i reckon its an out and out lie and i challenge anyone to find a school where this is happening.. this is in the young people ask section:.
'how can i say no to sex at school?'.
"every day, kids are talking about sex.
"At my school, homosexuals do immoral things in full view of other kids and think nothing of it." - Michael, 15.
Sounds like this kid has locker room fantasies.
.
i'm quite new here, so i apologize if this topic has been covered.. the reason i ask this,, i was raised in the midwest.
a majority(more than 50%) of the children at the local congregation were homeschooled.. the end result was that these homeschooled kids had social problems, found it difficult making and keeping friends and were completely out of touch with the world.. as these kids became adults, rarely did they stay on as witnesses and usually went to the other extreme,, you know the old saying,, sex drugs and rock n' roll..
A couple kids were homeschooled in my hall and so I felt like it was the cool thing to do. I was spending almost every non-meeting night afterschool at a local dance studio and homework was really preventing me from dancing. So I told my parents I wanted to homeschool so I can pioneer. I believe I aux-pioneered maybe for one month. But I turned 16 and started working.
Honestly, I don't think it was a wise choice. After getting kicked out of my parents house for coming out to them I didn't finish school. It took till I was 19 and moved out here to California to get my GED, get on my feet, and then finally enrolled in a community college at 22.
