i'm sure this topic has come up before but i'm new here :-) since many of us are offspring of the baby boomer generation or of a generation earlier, i've noticed a trend.

my parents and their siblings who largely grew up as witnesses are now entering or have entered retirement age.

although my parents were generally hard working and responsible people, they have little retirement savings.

How very sad this it. My parents are just now trying to build a retirement fund and there in their 50's. I hope I will be able to help myself.

"Oh Man. Should I respond? Of course I should damn it! Who would know I was even on some apostate site? What are you saying Bobby? Jehovah would know! Damn it! Get a hold of yourself Bobby! This is silly. Just like the time you were leafing through Stuff Magazine and Pam Anderson was on the cover and you thought Bro. Mackenzie was knocking on the door but it only turned out to be housekeeping. No problem! I can do this...just type the stupid reply about how it sucks that you turned down that scholarship to Yale to "serve God" full time in Bethel and now you're being sent home with a couple of the newest releases and a pat on the back! Come on, you idiot TYPE!"

Assemblies: Were You Always on the Prowl for a Mate?

by prophecor in

it was usually encouraged that we try to remain single somewhere during the assembly, especially the summer conventions.

some of you sisters were so hott with your summer dresses, hair freshly done.

though i went for the obligatory meeting attendance, it was nice to be able to go on a fishing expedition for sisters, if that was your choosing.

Evita! How true! It was all just one big social popularity contest wasn't it?

The sisters with the elders fathers and ms got all the "spiritual" brothers tongues wagging. Then you had the sisters who you knew were kinda "worldy" and that was an adventure of its own.

Hey prophecor? What's with the new pic? Men. They can never make up their mind can they? Football or basketball? Camen or Pam? Nachos or Wings? Stop the Madness!!!!
