do you think the ministry school helped you in your secular life?
that is, in business or sales, or in communication with customers or suppliers?.
of course the society was trying to make a good salesman out of me for their agenda but i had to 'quit' their job.. outaservice .
Yes it did. I own my own business and it was all thanks to having no fear going door to door, and business to business talking to people. All those years my parents forced me to go out in service made me unafraid of talking people into buying computer services.
Hell if you can sell someone the Watchtower you can sell just about anything!! In fact I have more success selling computer services than I ever did getting people interested in the Watchtower.

she recently went on a rant about how i need to go to meetings and that she knows the wts is not perfect but its the closest thing.
she kept trying to gode me into spilling everything... i simply put it to her in an illustration and it made her really think.... in response to her telling me that its the closest thing to the truth i told her my feelings: "if i was eating a peice of delicious chocolate... and then the baker told me she picked up dog poop with her bare hands and didnt wash them before she made them... would you still eat it?
sure it still may taste good, but would continue to eat it?".

She got my analogy and was just silent the rest of the night. I hope that it sunk in. =D

i was looking at ebay for old jw literature and ran across this.
i have never seen this in my life, and i don't think this is a standard release package.
is there a copy of it on the web somewhere where i can look at it without having to spend $100+?.

(P.S - I am not affiliated with this auction, so don't think im trying to promote anything.)
some big and small news are floating around about.
prince, out to help mj.
michael jackson, back to the goodoldusa, will he stay?.
The millers are from Kalispel MT. Wonder if im related... Have tons of aunts and uncles, grammas grampas, parents in Kalispel and surrounding area in da Troof, dont even know any of em, or most of their names. LOL. Hmm... maybe i should make some phone calls.
by the comments of the scrutinised and the ex-jws it is obvious that a person can see or figure the lies of jwism and then get themselves in very hot water simply by reiterating or repeating the "inconvenient" information that the org itself has provided - without any external input or external information or external scrutiny.. is that a fairly unique condition for such a group these days ?.
If I am not mistaken I beleive scientologists are similair in this respect. In fact I think they hide alot of their books until you have "advanced" aka coughed up more money. I have heard some crazy stories about members trying to leave too, but they could have been just tainted JW scare stories....

what has been your experience with pc repair?
This was an awesome video! I will have to share it with my business partner, he will get a kick out of it. I have been a Network Engineer for 8 years and tinkering with computers since I was 5!! I will say that alot of those repair shops are a rip off. I even have a price sheet for geeksquad. Did ya'll know they charge $149 to install a video card... that doesnt include the price of the card!
or show up half-sloshed???
or even a really bad hang-over??
lol..... at the pique of my "rebellious" phase when i was about 16-18, i often smuggled in a small mickey of drambuie or baileys then snuck off into the library for .
I remember when I was 18, a buddy and I went down to TJ to drink.... We were so extremely drunk we had to sleep in the car for like 6 hours before we could drive.
Anyways, we made it a point to go to the meeting that night... I showed up dressed in a suit with no shoes and socks on.
From that point on people called me "brother shoeless"
Pretty amazing that I was never talked to about that situation, and ppl didn't know I was sooooo buzzed at the time.
so there was a brother that i have know for some time that bought a little truck.
i wanted to buy this truck and he wanted to sell it to me, but might at the same time want to keep it since his son is almost of age.
so i borrowed this truck for a while, about a month, and the brother told me he put it on his insurance and it cost him a whopping 25$ a year since he had been with his insurance company.. well long story short a lady cut me off and i rear ended her at about 5mph... not a very hard collision... but when i call the brother (who is a ms) he says he doesnt have insurance and denies telling me he ever had it.
I love how people say that I am whining. I am not saying that It was not my fault. Nor am I saying that I don't want to pay restitution to the owner. In fact I am trying to do just that... But i don't think its fair that I was lied to saying that the car was fully insured and covered any driver... Then I get in an accident and he doesnt have it, and decides he is going to sell it to me but back date the title since he knows he lied and doesnt want to take the fall.
And no I have not yet accepted the title, and I am not going to give him the info to put on the release of liability since I know that he is going to try and backdate it. It is still registered to him.
And yes there is a police report... they happened to drive buy shortly after we exchanged all the info and started documenting it all.
