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.
I like everbody's comments, like the guys that sit in the front and cringe their neck and look back not only when people were late but during the meeting, it was so annoying.
I HATED when I was sleeping through the meeting and one of the brothers would go wake me up. I would give them a look and go back to sleep.
That's it for me, other peeves have already been expressed here.
i heard that it was scarce at the kingdom hall last thursday night.
the speaker was asking those in attendance to look around and see who was missing and to call them and encourage them to come back to the meetings.
interesting huh?
Apostate kate, thank you for welcoming to the board. Well I didn't convert anybody while I was a JW, so my conscious is clear, but I hope god shows the way to the people still trapped.

What is the deal with the old men and young boys???How sick!
I know, I saw a special, I forgot what channel, was it CNN? NBC? I forgot. Well the reporter went online and pretended to be a 13 year old and made a date with these men. There was a hidden camera. There was like 10 guys that showed up, one of the was a pastor, another one was a teacher, and the other one I think it was a doctor, and one of them fell for the same trap the next day, how pathetic. I wonder how many people are out there like this? I wonder how many of them in the JWS? in other religions? on this board??

I was raised a JW since I was in Mexico, my dad wasn't till we came to the US. He was pressured into it, he was a bad man, but found power and respect in the congregation. I lived with him, so I knew it was only LOOKS.
Good think I got out in time.

I'm an ex mexican JW.
I'll tell you why the rise in hispanics.
My people are easy targets, especially immigrants. They are in a foreign country and need a mental refuge. Most of the immigrants are ignorant when it comes to the bible and do not know the history of the WTs, also do not have resources like the internet. Also most of the brothers I knew had low paying jobs, and I could tell they liked the respect and admiration of the brothers. Also, I met brothers that joined the organization because of the sisters they saw, they saw an opportunity to meet women. They feel they are part of something.
for the next year, 2006, i predict that:
1. the us will have clear victory in iraq.
2. there will be a devastating sutnami in japan around june.

3. A devasting Earthquake in California.
4. The Watchtower will come out with another end of the world date.
5. Bin Laden will be capture and brought to the US for execution.
6. The stock market will be better than the last 10 years.
7. Gas prices will significantly lower due to strict goverment intervention.
that's all I predict for 2006, what are your predictions?
hey everybody,.
was having a discussion with a co-worker about the new kk movie.
he asked if i saw it already.
mrsjones5 Yeah, I did meant some,not all, and you are right everybody is predujice againts others, maybe on different levels than others. If it's not race, it's religion, or how we dress, so on and so on. I just think that calling the King Kong movie racist is going a little bit overboard, just like the Lulac called the taco bell dog commercials racist. I can understand people getting offended over bigger deals, like direct racial slurs, but a movie, a dog commercial? Come on people.
my 5 year old son plays soccer.
he's no beckham or pele but he is learning the game and he loves it.
i can barely get him to wear a helmet to ride his bike and now this.. massachusetts will be the only state in the u.s. to have this rule if it passes.
Why can't the helmet wearing be optional...up to the parents who have chosen the option of putting their kids in soccer?
That would be something, imagine a boy with a helmet and a another without one have a head to head collision. I would think that helmet would hurt more than the head, no?

I have to say this.... Why do blacks NOW complain about racism. They call racism when a white person offends a black person, but when a black person offends another race, it's just "funny". I know everybody has their own experiences with different races, here is my experience with black people.
First of all, I'm Mexican. I went to a dominant black high school. The first day I just told myself I would just mind my own business. The first day wasn't so good since I got "jumped" by five of my fellow black students. I sucked it up and had patience for two years till I graduated. In that time I heard so many racist slurs coming from the black students towards me. I just wondered that was ironic. The last people I thought I would face racism, since their people have been there. They always complained about how the white people were racist and that they tried to keep them down, and here they were treating me as lower than them, I swear it was the same students that were stereotyping me. I remember that in English class they spent the whole class talking about how stupid white people were. I wanted to say something but I wouln't have survived the rest of the year.
Now, I don't have any problems with people stereotyping me because those people don't know me, I choose the people that show my true self to. In fact, yes it's a fact, most of the steretypes are true, not in all the people but most of it, there's a reason why it's a stereotype.
The point is that there are a majority of (black) people that crie "racist!" but they are racist themselves as well.
I do not hold a grudge againts black people, I did make three real good black friends that were not part of the stereotype that was in that school.
STEREOTYPES EXIST FOR A REASON. The key is to know not everybody fits a stereotype, and BE TOLERANT.
