this is my first halloween as a free man .
so i looked up the word halloween and discovered some really cool things.
for instance, the word comes from "all hallows eve", because of being the night before the feast of martyrs (all saints day).
Hey Kristyann
Sorry if I didn't explain that clearly.
Stevenyc is someone from the forum. An ex-jw like us!
He's throwing a holloween party this saturday in brooklyn ny.
The link to his post on it is at
http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/19/100001/1.ashx
He's got nothing to do with 6-flags. I figured since you said your by there you may be close enough to go if you wanted to. If your interested pm steve for the details.

words women use.
fine.
this is the word women use to end an argument when.
WORDS WOMEN USE
FINE
This is the word women use to end an argument when
they are right and you need to shut up.
FIVE MINUTES
If she is getting dressed, this is half an hour. Five
minutes is only five minutes if you have just been
given 5 more minutes to watch the game before
helping around the house.
NOTHING
This is the calm before the storm. This means
"something," and you should be on your toes.
Arguments that begin with 'Nothing' usually
end in "Fine"
GO AHEAD
This is a dare, not permission. Don't do it.
LOUD SIGH
This is not actually a word, but is a non-verbal
statement often misunderstood by men. A "Loud Sigh"
means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she
is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you
over "Nothing"
THAT'S OKAY
This is one of the most dangerous statements that a
woman can make to a man.
"That's Okay" means that she wants to think long and
hard before deciding how and when you will pay for
your mistake.
THANKS
A woman is thanking you. Do not question it or faint.
Just say you're welcome.
Oh, and before we forget ?
"Whatever"
...it's a woman's way of saying *!#@ YOU

just wanted to say hi.... its my 1st time on here...it looks good.. are there many here from aus??.
i am 37 - male - was a jw all my life until 2 years ago.
used to pioneer regularly and was a ms. thankfully i questioned everything in the end and found out who god really is and the history of the jw's....my wife and i were shocked after reading coc and c/freedom.
I'm not from Australia but always wanted to go there.
Hello from NYC!!!

my sisters came home yesterday and said someone was following them home from school, they got very scared and ran the rest of the way home.
they also told me that these two men had also followed one of their friends home a few days ago.
should i call the school and report it or should i call the police station?
How about the particular block this happened on? Busy or no one else around?
They may just need to avoid that alleyway. At the least walk across the street if not go around that one block.

Halloween is my favorite time of year!
What's fun? How about the party stevenyc is throwing this satuday in nyc?
Kristyann you said your by six- flags? You and your bf should try to make it. Write to steve if you'd like to go.
What else do I love? The village parade in manhattan on halloween night. It's one of the largest in the world. Hours and hours of people in costumes. It's even on cable some years.
Halloween has to be lived. It's no fun if you do nothing but tons of fun if you do. Bars and clubs here are a blast this weekend too. Hmmm, maybe i'll go to one friday, go to the party saturday, and the parade halloween night.
Hope everyone has a blast

Are they taking a faster route home but has less people around? Ask. If so tell them to go a longer way home but on busy streets. It may take longer but less likely to be a problem. Men seem to attack on less crowded streets. The faster way may not be the best.

my last 2 posts have been so sad that i thought i would tell you about something that i remembered once when the jw"s came a calling.
i guess it would have been funny if it wasn't so darn embarassing!
when i was younger i was trying to 'get fit' and had taken to doing aerobics in my loungeroom.

Well let's just say....That I would love to go back in time and first kick her a$$, and then mine!
Oh how i'm with you on that! Oh if I could go back in time and kick my father's ass...
in another thread i started someone askedi still believe in jehovah, but now, i'm having doubts about his name???
is jehovah really god's name?
if he wanted his name to be known, he's all-powerful, omnipotent... i know that he has the power to make sure that his name is used correctly.
Hee!! Hee!! Hee!!Thats a good one...
Go away. Let us big boys talk.
you're in for the same surprise as a lot of us had when found out the truth about 'da troof!'
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey guys, be nice!
Don't take us serious Steve. I'm new here too and we likes to poke fun at them there newbies- not to mention true believers. Stick around and thanks for the input.

That passage is one of my favorites. Have you ever read different translations of the whole passage?
It's so poetic and beautiful when you find a good translation.
would someone still mistake you for a witness?
Not when I used to have 5 earrings in one ear and 3 in my right. Oh, not to mention I had my hair down to the bottom of ny chest. Now I look like the pic you see so I guess I do look a little like them again. I tend to wear dressy cloths now....er, maybe it's time to go get me some earrings and grow my hair again.
