  If you plan it, they may come.

  But sorry to burst your bubble on the coining... the word "Apostapalooza" has been used before:

  I thought the 2007 Toronto 'Fest was Apostapalooza, apparently I am wrong about that.

  Throw out a date and location. Who knows? You might get something started.

  It *is* weird. It popped up on game I was playing and I did a double take. I used to have everyone one of those books - and then some. I think my 1975 book is still in my garage somewhere. And my '73 book was more worn than the one in the photo.

  Finally Awake - feel free to report it to whomever you chose!

  Wonder if a JW is contracting with classmates.com for their web presence...?

  Why did you pick the name you have now

  by label licker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just wondering if your name describes what you saw, how you were treated when you were "in" or now "out", maybe your personality, ect.... i'm label licker and the why i picked this name was because of all the licking up one side of elders and down the other to either be an elder or ministerial servant.

  one time i was standing right in front of this brother who wasn't made an ms yet and he totally ignored me and talked right over my head speaking really loud trying to catch the co's attention.. got sick of watching the poor elderly sitting all alone or standing against the wall like a wall flower with noone to talk to and yet all these label lickers would take turns picking up the elders elderly parents and take them shopping and do their groceries at least four times a week while out in service, yet, there was noone there to take a meal to a sister who just got out of the hospital with a heart attack.

  when i had shown up at her apartment with a meal she asked if i could wash her private and change her bandages.

  It's the closest thing to free counselling. Might not be a perfect fit but might give you some insight and an outlet for feelings.

  I received my gift on Monday. Thank you, Santa! My little 'sun-bathing snowman' is so cute and proudly sitting next to my monitor in direct line of the sun beam.

  On the other hand, I ordered the gift for my recipient 2 weeks ago. Unfortunately, it is still out-of-stock. If it does not ship in the next couple of days I will cancel and send something else.

  I feel soo bad that it did not make it in time for Christmas. Really I do!!

  Good Reasons To Hate Every Weak And Ex-Jehovah Witness.

  by AuntConnie in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  1. my husband's time is finite, it's wasted on spouses arguing over money, sex or family mattters with stupid home visits.. .

  i hate people's constant open hand for money, it's the weak individuals asking others to pull their weight.

  my family worked extra hours instead of begging the strong members for district assembly money, cat food for seven cats or tiny little rag-a-muffins weiner dogs.. .

  @Hortensia - Good catch. I noticed that, too. One of those things that raises an eyebrow.

  Troll or not, I prefer to not label and let the conversation progress. Who knows but that newbies and lurkers get something out of the discussion.
