most normal people i know and am around, look forward to the weekend and nice weather.

even though i have not been a publisher for several years now, i still associated weekends with taking the group out in service and baby sitting a lot of the kids from the hall, who the parents dropped off.

what a pleasure monday mornings were when i could go back to work.. also, nothing was greater than a stormy blizzard in the winter, or a thunderstorm (.

maybe our researchers out there can break it down for us.

i do not think the line about how looking at porn is not a judical matter made it to the wt .

it is pretty common among us humans to have an issue with one of the big two.

we either have a discomfort with them, or just dislike them all together.

personally, i am not real against being around either, but if i had to choose which one i see in a more negative way, it would be spiders.

Weird Dream
by Wordly Andre in
1. jw
2. experiences
maybe a little influence from this website.

i had this really strange dream last night, that i wrote a letter to my parents old congregation that i last attended with them, well in my dream my letter was to let them know that i was never a jw, and that any records of me they have to shred or destroy.

i went to the hall and told some elder what i wanted to do, he asked me if i was baptized, i said no, but still wanted to do this, some other guy said "ok you will need to follow me", i walked down a long dark hallway and he opened two double doors to this big room that looked like a basement or bomb shelter, there were large tables in the middle of the room with papers and awakes and watchtowers all over them and a bunch of people who looked like half dead people you would see in scary movies just working away down there.
