as a witness/pioneer, did you ever falsify or lie on your time card?.
abr.
Never lied but I was taught to be creative. The time at the coffee shop while out on ministry counted. Why? Because we would place a magazine at the table we were sitting at.
Any passerby that observed our literature could aproach us, but none ever did. Still, they were "preached" to.
Q.
had someone from pc world install mynew computer.. he had story to tell about jws.. .
when he was about 13,he attended re classes at his local school,they were told in class about bible contradications,next day some jws called and they looked at bible verses.. when he asked them`this is the word of the lord,he pointed out contradications on either the next page or two pages up.. he didn't see them again!.
Congratulations on your new computer !
Must be nice to use internet at home. My connection at home is "dial up" which is very slow, so I use the internet at work.
I envy you !

i now have a life beyond jehovah's witnesses.
i am able to impact kids in their development into young adults who have risen above challenging circumstances.
these children are always impoverished but may be challenged in other ways, as well.. my job is to mold them into productive citizens, contributing adults.
Good for you Auld Soul !
Nothing better than doing something satisfying !

a very nice lady and very pretty who has been coming in for a few weeks now, is starting to become a fatal attraction.. she comes in for the most idiotic requests and has asked me out numerous times.
i keep giving her some excuse for not going out.. i can't tell her i am gay as that can destroy everything at work here.. any ideas?
i don't want to hurt her feelings or stop her from spending her money here as well as sending her friends and neighbors.
Just thought of something else !
In conversation with her you can perhaps let slip a comment like " Oh, my life partner is interested in getting a car just like yours. How do you like it."
You would just be making a coment and hopefully she will get the hint.
Q.
i'm a newbie on here.
been away from the truth for nearly a year now and have just got my divorce from my violent ex who is stil serving in the congregation.
found things hard and still am, as the 'truth' is all i've ever known....so am on here for some well needed support, if thats ok?
Welcome !
Sorry about your troubles, hope we can all make you feel welcomed.
Even if you just lurk, you will find out how much it can help you to get through this change in your life.

Hambeak, I agree with just telling her you are flattered but in a relationship allready.
People are so wacked it is as if guys nowadays tend to try to find the married gals and then they have a better chance at getting something and getting out of the situation. So strange....
That's because men figure there is a reason someone else wants to marry her and they are sorry they didn't get to her first. I wear my wedding band, no one hits on me.

just wondering if any one else but my self uses jwd during work hours.. my dial up at home is slower than a snail slithering through molasses.
at times i want to tell my clients to sit down and wait while i post something on jwd, but i can't.
hopefully i'm not being monitored !!
WOW ! Thank you all for responding. There are more of us logging on to JWD from work than I expected. Even if you work from home I would consider it "work hours".
I had the weekend off from work so I couldn't log on untill first thing this morning. Missed lurking around and seeing what's going on.
Have a Great Week !!

after a year or so of being a "lurker" (since i know some of you despise that word, say, instead, window shopper?
), i finally signed up.
for the last week or so, i've come to the sight every day and i've learned a lot and also remembered more than maybe i wanted to.. so here's my issue: i've been married for 1 1/2 years, together with this man for 5+ years.
Hello and welcome to the forum.
Here you can ask any question such as the one you have and get 100 different answers.
Today I had a chinese fortune cookie and I would like to share it's wise advise.."To find ourselves, we must first lose ourselves."
Let yourself go of all the old thinking and what we were taught to be right or wrong. How do you feel about it now ? If you are not comfortable with it, let your partner know. Perhaps you can work something out between the two of you that will satisfy you both.
