Grammar aside, I was more offended when my high school, unbaptized, not even studying ass was referred to as a "JoWo". My first religious persecution, and it was just for being in a family with one baptized grandma and her somewhat sympathetic children.

Did you get offended when people would refer to you as 'a jehovah witness'?
by Pioneer Spit...oh, i mean Spirit inand correct them and say, 'no no you hump, i'm one of jehovah's witnesses', as in, 'i'm not alone fella, i'm one of many.
you mess with me, you mess with all of us.
do you not know that at any time i could summon a legion of other witnesses?'.

How Many Have Written a Book? Or Are Considering it?
by AK - Jeff ini have the budded starts of maybe 4 of them in my hard drive.
i have been encouraged to finish them, but don't know if i ever will.
some of my writing was cathartic in purpose, and that cathartic crutch seems less needed these days.

Do NOT confuse his resurrection with his ascension, 40 days later.
Resurrection - physical body
Ascension - spirit -

Untolerable, Unheard of and down right Unbelievable experiences
by REBORNAGAIN inhas anyone experienced something really outrageous among the jw's that you want to share?.
we once had a couple of jw's follow us (policeing us) as we were on our way to my (then, he's now my ex) husband's boss's home.
his boss wanted us over for an end of the year party and didn't consider it a christmas party because he knew we didn't celebrate christmas.

How Would You Do in a Debate Against a Talented JW Apologist?
by Open mind inhow good of a debater are you?.
i was recently reading some old threads on jwd back in the days when a poster named "youknow" was here.
(2002) he would stand toe-to-toe (or at least he thought he did) with the likes of alanf, refiners fire, seven006, and many others.

One reason why I simply use things that the Bethel lawyers and Governing Body members sign.
Court papers, UN applications, etc. -

Brother Prince
by The-Borg ini went to see prince in concert at the o2 in london last week.
i didn't really want to go, he's not my thing but my wife wanted to see him so i went along for the ride.
he is actually an extremely talented guitarist and pianist and he can sing too.

Possible/probable justification:
(as an event planner/manager, I have to admit that they have a point)
It causes less trouble if he is secluded, than if he is like a "regular guy." There would be a mob scene if he walked the floor. -

YAY!!!! I got my finals back from my financial class!!
by FreedomFrog inand i passed with a b!!!!!
most of my grades have been above a b but with this class even my friend told me (who is a number cruncher), they gave us an unfair advantage because they threw in all kinds of variables that was a bit too advanced for a person starting out.
the college is going to change this because they realize it is a bit much for "beginners" but we weren't so "lucky" to have it changed for us.
