my result .
results of "the test" do you have a cheating heart?.

Clearly I expect high standards, this moslty includes infidelity involving real people (wether that be in person or over the internet).
I would not consider more fantasy situations (porn, strippers) to be cheating - as long as it did not affect my every day life.
occasional porn - im fine with
Friday night in NZ now (for your benifit stilla ), no meetings, obviously, but best of all no field service tomorrow!!!!! Yay, yay yay!
Good luck with sorting everything out, a year ago i was still at home and still at the meetings, but now im in my own place and waking up the the truth about the "truth".
man i'm so stoked i dont have to go out bothering people tomorrow...
song 5. note: congregations are not to move their service meeting for the week of january 2 to an earlier night unless the circuit overseer is visiting.
in every congregation, the convention insert should be considered on the service meeting as scheduled.
if there is a circuit assembly this week, book study overseers should announce the convention location and dates at their regularly scheduled book studies.
This whole idea of booking hotels from an aproved list is news to me, this is one idea that never made its way down here. If you had to travel to the convention city then some from the cong got together and booked at the same place, but im not aware of any group bookings or approved lists. Crazy!!
hello all just got our pro wedding pics thought i would share a few...it was really hard to pick the best ones.
enjoy .
luv es .
gorgeous!!!
i had some serious goals!.
i was going to skydive (hey, nobody dies in the new system, right?).
frolick with grizzly bears and swim with great whites.
I was going to have a tiger, to ride on, like He-man. Awesome.
And i was totally going to get all buddy buddy with Noah.
i have been trying to become a member of this site for weeks!
i started "lurking" soon after andersoninfo's big news.
i couldn't believe my timing!
Welcome!!!
From one islander to another
i have had a quick look and found no references to this, so - here goes..as in the mag we picked up on sunday.. worldwide % increase over 2004 = 1.3%.
memorial partakers 8524 (compared to 8570 in 2004).
most european and nth american lands show pretty static figs - britain 1% increase, canada 0%, germany 0%, france 1%, usa 0%... but spare a thought for the inhabitants of zambia where 1 person in 90 is a reporting witness, must be hell going down to the local market!
I remember as a publisher being encouraged to report informal witnessing, but this seemed only to aply if the time spent was at least half an hour.
Recording 5 miniute episodes here and there sounds like an awesome way to inflate world wide hours.
When i was a kid you bought tickets at convention which you could then use to buy food (like watchtower monopoly money ).
The most fun thing about the entire convention was scrounging around with your friends looking for enough lost tickets to buy a lamington!
if you were to attend say a wedding or a funeral that was being held in the kingdom hall would you make an effort to be presentable according to jw standards or go as you are?
(we aren't talking about violating codes of human decency here).
would you say a woman going to a funeral should have to wear a dress or a skirt?
I have never even heard that you shouldnt wear black at a funeral, that one must not have made its way to New Zealand.
Funerals - I would probably wear dark clothing most likely end up conforming to JW dress standards
Weddings- allways dressed up for these, dresses that were not meeting appropriate and one time wore dress pants. I probably would not dress any different now for these occasions, even as an exjw
overtime, overtime!
the thing that was a kill-joy for me was going overtime, just ask my wife and kids.
my entire day would be ruined.
We had the book study at our house so i hated how there would always be the same people every week who would hang around for ages afterwards talking about crap (probably, i was generally spaced out).
What i did love was when the visiting brother doing the public talk got lost/didnt show and they would just do the watch tower and we got to go home early. THAT was awesome
well here i go with my annual holiday stress thanks to my jw relatives............if you are wondering why i'm on this forum after not being a jw myself for so long, there's your explanation.. i realize they have their beliefs against the holidays but it is soooooooo inappropriate to subvert others' participation in holiday celebrations, isn't it?
(rhetorical question there) i mean, if i did it to them they'd claim i was persecuting them!
i have decided i am going to tell them to stop persecuting me!
I remeber what use'd to really bug me was the way when ever some one wished us merry christmas we had to launch into how we didn't celebrate christmas and why. I cant even imagine how annoying this must have been for all the various check out operators, shop assistants, teachers, friends etc. I was a pretty bad wittness though - i would just wish them a merry christmas back.
