  UN-BE-FLIPPING-LIEVABLE chance JW meeting moments ago...

  by Confession in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  this is trippy.... the set-up: every weekend, 45 weekends per year, a company flies me to a different city in the u.s., and has me lead group presentations to families of college-bound high school students.

  we then offer to sell them our college preparation program.. a few weekends ago we were in fresno, california.

  he asked which organization it was.

  That will be pretty bizarre if the stuff shows up in the mail with out him asking for your address. Creepy dub.

  i talk a lot?

  at first it's exciting to meet posting milestones.

  after a while you look at that vast, accruing number and place your tongue in your cheek.

  How I sent my letter

  by truthsetsonefree in

  now that some time has passed i can say how i made my protest to watchtower.

  i mailed that letter using the "special blue" envelopes used only for judicial correspondence.

  so i know that it did not go through the usual channels for correspondence.

  Where do you see yourself in next 5 years??!!??

  by zagor in

  well have some time so thought to write this.... i went today to uni to speak to my supervisor and he asked me a question that locked me in my chair for few milliseconds.

  he asked "where do you see yourself in next 5 years....and beyond that" then he went "... or better still imagine yourself in time 5 years from now, what would you like to have achieved?".

  though knowing full well what two 'things' i really wanted to have in my life more than anything i was really locked into this moment almost powerless, because his next question was that 'one inch' punch which blew me off as if struck my bruce lee himself, he asked "...and what are you doing now to make sure that really happens that way?".

  Do you know what your last name means and where it comes from . . .?

  by Justahuman24 in

  i have always been interested in what last names mean and where they come from and if someone famous in the past is related to us because of the same last name.

  my last name comes from greek but my family is not greek.

  it dates back to the year 700ce and it was around the time in europe when people were starting to get last names - i'm talking about the general people not monarchs.

  My maiden name originated in Wales, meaning son of John. My married name is French, meaning overseer of the farm.

  Bumping into J Dubs

  by beautifulisfree in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  is it just me or does anyone else get that 'sick' feeling when they see a jdub?

  i live in a fairly small town but i knew alot of dubs from all over the state.

  i can (gladly) go months without seeing a single witness...but then sometimes no matter where i go they are all over the place.

  I like running into them now, I love to see their faces. They look so freaked out to be in the presence of a DF/apostate person.

  this thread is for those of us that are single and hate everything that this day is about.

  i was using the atm at albertson's this morning and all around me i saw men buying candy and flowers and i seriously wanted to stab them....**note i would never actually hurt someone** sooooooooo i left the store and came right to work where i will be safe from ppl and teddy bears and candy and flowers.

  so if you hate this day as much as i do, feel free to use this thread to vent.. lola ** of the bitter table for one class** saying a big f*ck you to today..

  I am not a fan of the holiday for all the reasons Gill mentioned. I think it is cute for kids to make valentines and all that jazz but its not for me. Plus, my husband hasn't a romantic bone in his body. I guess its a good thing I don't thrive on romance.
