i always assume that people with real pics for their avatars are pics of that poster.
obviously that's not always the case.
i'm curious about whose pic is really them.

i'm worried because i sent a christmas card plus had a gift sent by ups over the internet about 7 days ago and haven't heard anything.
i would feel really feel bad if my person didin't receive their gift or card.
so i think we need to have an official post place.
My package is sent!
It's staying in the US, and I sent it 2 day priority mail, so even if it's really delayed it should get there by Christmas.

the wt website now has an article on burning incense.
yes - pretty soon i'm sure they'll be telling you how to trim your toenails.
i'm surprised that they still allow dancing at weddings actually, since we know that dancing was so paganistic and led to wild, animalistic sex.
Burning incense was strictly forbidden when I was growing up. Demonic, even.
Good lord.

Welcome, winnie!
Wow, that's quite a story! Unfortunately there are many similar stories here.
Nice to have you here!

i will be 54 years old by the time i have spent more of my life as an exjw than i did as a jw..

Well, at least I didn't wait until I was 74 to get out!

Bikerchic - You sent me a gift??!! This is so much fun! My first Christmas! GGG
anyone hear remember the old police academy movies?
remember the black lady who had that soft sweet voice, that almost sounded like she was breathing in helium, and how people would not respect her?
i work with a woman who sounds like this, and for a long time i thought she was doing it to play the cute woman game.
My voice is pretty normal, I think.
Did you ever chat with someone online, and imagine what their voice sounds like, only to discover that it's nothing like you thought? Although some people get it right every time!

well i worked for many years in low paying jobs-fast food,motels, delivering pizzas.
i started working in a law enforcement field nearly 8 years ago, and have been there ever since.
i always was interested in law enforcement and fire/rescue when i lived in kentucky, so i finally entered the corrections field in 1999. it's a decent paying job with benefits galore, i have lots of sick time built up along with lots of vacation time.
I know someone who worked in the Corrections field and is retired now. His pension is amazingly high!
On the other hand, it's nice to enjoy what you do. You've gotten some good suggestions so far!
Good luck with whatever you decide!

well, after years of indecision and inability to settle into any real career, i have finally decided on a viable, meaningful one for me; and it's one that has endless potential (for work, at least).
i am doing research now and will probably take some courses and apply for sbc grants to start my own small-scale recycling business.
i already have a few potential clients in the people for whom i currently work, and will hopefully have references and other clients from them.
Good for you!!!
I hope all goes well with your new business!!
