yesterday after school i had to go work on a project with friends.

mom said be home by 5, but there was a huge accident a mile from where i live, and i sat on the road for like 10 - 12 minutes, and was 5 minutes late getting home.

mom was there (didn't go to work- guess why) and she was pissed.

Tell your mom that because of all of the "love" she is showing you had to tell people at work your problems and now they hate JWs because of the fine example of christian love she is showing.

what a fine witness

I left home when I was 16 because of BS like this. It's funny cause things will eventually cool down but right now it must seem like hell. Don't worry, if you pull through this successfully and get on your feet then everything else you do in life will seem so easy. Believe me, I had to work so hard and now I'm making more money than my mom and step-mom combined.

One of the biggest problems I notice is illegal immigration contributes to identity theft. Many illegal immigrants get "fake" social security numbers to get a job, open a bank account, etc. Usually these numbers are actually attached to real people. At the company I work for we get notifications from the DOJ when someone's number comes back as not belonging to them. It's really ironic how the management here will feel bad for them when these people are stealing someone's identity. I heard a story on NPR that said that with the Guest Worker Program, Mexicans will be outbid for labor by guest workers from Asia and the Middle East who will work for even less than what Mexicans are making. People in Mexico make more per hour than what people in China do.

Here's a plan for next year's Memorial....great fun if u have the guts!

by AK - Jeff in

picture five or six apostates filtering into a kingdom hall where none are known.

they do not visit with each other, but just mingle in the crowd.

when the time comes to sit down and listen to the sales pitch, they all sit in seperate areas of the kh.

I remember there was always extra bottles at our memorial. Probably some alcoholic elder getting the congregation account to pay for his wine.

Daily Text with comments from my crazy mom

do not be loving either the world or the things in the world.

if we find delight in jehovahs word, the desire of the flesh and the desire of the eyes and the showy display of ones means of life will lose much of their allure.

She should send her writings to the borg. They would probably want her to write for them.

Holy Crap! My bank account has been emptied by fraudsters!!!!

by nicolaou in

a few hours ago i went to put some fuel in my motor and used my debit card to pay as i always do.

"sorry sir, your card has been declined".

how embarrasing is that?!

It's happened twice to me in two years with my old bank. I would get my statement and notice transactions at gas stations in Utah and other places I've never been. My old bank sucked. I would call and they would question me like I was the criminal. It would eventually get solved but it was annoying.

Insert Commercial Here: I switched to to a new bank and it is great!!! I can check my activity everyday and I can call an emergency number the minute I notice strange activity. The bank also calls to verify transactions when they seem strange (IE: expensive airline tickets, electronics, etc).

My Memorial Experience

by XJW4EVR in

i take public transit to & from work.

i walk past a "historic" theater on a daily basis.

as i walked past this theater, there were about 8-10 j-dubs waiting for the theater to open so they can get the "best" seats.

Wow didn't know they use the Alex Theater.

i remember very few of the details, of when, where and exactly what took place, however a few years ago i was told the story about three elders that were walking together and the middle.

elder was struck and killed by lightning.

the other two elders went to his house to help out his wife and discovered 'apostate' material in their home.

I heard a a child bringing a smurf doll to the KH and halfway through the meeting the smurf got up and ran out!

Smart smurf!

I heard a story of a couple of pioneer sisters who took a sharp turn off a windy road ended up at the edge a cliff but an angel prevented their car from falling off while they got out.
