  I did when I was little and then stopped cause it was such a BAD THING to do, ya know...

  But now, I just can't get enough of the Halloween spirit

  I'm having so much fun deciding what my 14-month old will be next month. I can't decide between Nemo, a ladybug, a skunk or Yoda... What do ya'll think?

  Did You Ever "Tell Off" An Elder or Circuit Overseer?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know of very few that would "dare" tell off a co but elders were different.

  having been an elder for many years, it was very easy to go back and forth with a fellow elder and basically tell him he was dumb.

  Nope, but I was damn close once. I stopped in mid-sentence out of respect for the fact that this guy was as old as my grandpa! I just couldn't say anything that rude to an elderly man.

  "Are the rules that hard to follow?"

  by rebel8 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  often i hear jws claim that people leave the borg because they cannot follow the rules, implying that anyone who leaves lacks character, self control, and/or moral values.. often i hear jwd posters--me included--say the myriad of rules in the borg is one of (not the only) reason they would not follow the org.

  virgochick said it well in the "how do you feel about the name j----?

  " thread:.

  Yep...and that's what wore me out.

  I was in 4 different cong. in 10 years and the rules and regulations were different for each one. If this was supposed to be "the chosen org." then shouldn't EVERY cong. be uniform in it's policies. It was so depressing because I was looking for unity and to be a part of something good, but I up killing myself just trying to fit in.

  Yeah! A nascar thread!

  Yes, I love Tony Stewart as well. When I first started to watch Nascar a few years ago, I didn't like him at all. He seemed arrogant and was always having issues with other drivers. BUT now....everyone is in fights all the time and it can be mildly entertaining I think he has matured some and man...he's such a good driver. When Tony won the race in his hometown last year, I was so happy for him. Last year I couldn't decide whether I wanted a Kasey Kahne (another cutie), Mark Martin or Tony hat. This year, I've decided to get a #20 hat when they're back in Atlanta. Wooo- hooo. You should visit so we can go to a race together!!!! It's unbelievably addicting!!!!!

  Tony and his chubby self can drive me around the track anytime
