  i do.... i have a weird sort of radar.... i'm out of my normal stomping grounds because i am helping to set up for our company christmas party.... i stopped for lunch because i am early...and at the restaurant a group walked in...3 women in heavy coats, all wearing skirts...and one guy dressed in a suit and tie.

  one woman was older, one middle aged...both white...and one younger (early 20s) black woman.

  the guy was mid 30s...could have been on the cover of a watchtower.

  kingdom ministry for october under: how can we help?

  ..."when donations are earmarked specifically for a certain disasters, it is necessary in some countries to use such funds only for the purpose specified by the donor and within a certain period of time, whether the needs of out brothers have been cared for locally or not.

  (is this true and if so, isn't that the whole point of donating to natural disaster victims?

  It means they want the money, but do not want to have to account for how they use it.

  how far from where you grew up do you live now?

  did you leave to get away or to take ownership of your life and create a new destiny?

  did you leave before or after you figured it out?.

  Born in Boston... while I was a dub I lived in New England, California & Florida. I'm back in Massachusetts now, about 15 miles from where I grew up. I'm a New Englander at heart... no place else felt like home. I very rarely run into any jws... Life is great...

  I probably wouldn't hire that company... but if I saw that truck driving down the street.... I would be talking about it for days. There are probably people who would hire him just for is sense of humor.

  My friends experience at elder school

  by Grouper in

  a friend of mind went to elder school recently and i convoy the following for him: .

  the co asked him previously if he could assist with a demonstration showing the superiority of wtbts education to university education.

  my friend holds a few masters' degrees and will be starting a phd program soon so the co thought he would be an excellent candidate to demonstrate the superiority of wtbts education, but there was a little problem my friend he said no.

  I actually went to college 1969-1970...with my dad's encouragement. (he was an elder who believed in education....1 in a million) No one dared challenge him in the congregation.... I was an idiot and quit to get married.... I never partied in college. I lived at home.... had a 3.8 gpa. I did learn the art of critical thinking while there...it just took a very long time for it to kick in.

  Let's play a game - Follow the WTS $$ trail

  by watch the tower in

  2. scandals

  a huge question that i have in the back of my mind regarding the wts is where all of the money ends up.

  no one really has a conclusive answer to that.

  i think it would reveal a lot if we were able to find out.. i know there have been various threads in the past where it revealed a clue here and a clue there.
