  Vacations and internet worries

  by greendawn in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  my holiday is drawing to a close on 5th september, trying to find internet places to post is not that easy most here are too expensive at 5 or 6 euro per hour, some are reasonably cheap but filled with cigarette smoke or too noisy due to music played at too high a volume or too many kids playing games while shouting and giggling.

  and hopefully the connection will be reasonably fast, the keyboards wil work properly, and the monitor will not make your eyes dizzy.

  i missed the internet at home being on line in peace and quiet and in a smoke free environment.

  she hasn't had a birthday party since she was 7 (she turned 47 today).

  she was in the borg for 25 years and this was the first time in 25 years she got to celebrate.

  Possable "New Light"?

  by 2112 in

  with all the "buzz" around the up-comming october anouncment, i have a question.

  i have thought about this for a long time, is it possable that they would tell all those married to non-witnesses to divorce their mates?

  it could be for the reason of "unevenly yoked", and/or keeping spritually clean.

  I reckon the announcement could be that all jw's should get rid of their computers.
  
  The GB are afraid that the rank and file are reading too much common sense on sites such as this.
  
  Just a thought.

  Drop Dead Gorgeous!

  back when i was attending kingdom halls, our circuit had a lot of 'drop dead gorgeous' women, many whom were married to the geekiest looking guys.

  i always asked myself, "how did these 'dorks' do it"!.

  was this because selection was limited, or was this just a peculiarity in our area?

  I know soooo many gorgeous girls married to total geeks.
  
  Usually the geek has a great personality and the gorgeous girl is about as vivacious as a wet mop.
  
  A match made in heaven?

  in the past whenever you went on vacation (holiday) did you try and find a kingdom hall to attend and also try and put in some service time?.

  The only time I ever went to meetings or on service whilst on holiday, was when my ex husband and I went and stayed with some jw friends in spain. We were poor pioneers and had no choice.
  
  We actually attended all the meetings over the course of 2 weeks and went on service twice. Uhhh!!
  
  And we didn't understand a word of it.

  Remember the Written Review

  by 30girl in

  what exactly was the purpose of the written review?

  it was extremely helpful that the society warned you on the calendars which night you had to skip... we had those boards that they passed out so you had a good writing surface, often covered with witness grafiti like, jesus or jehovah or something biblical.

  remember the little grading sheet on the back; excellent, very good, good -- was there a poor?

  Oh my god, I'd actually forgotten about the written review. I used to like the true and false section.
  
  My mum and sister always used to swat up and get all the answers right, freaks!!
  
  I always used to run out of time and had to guess the last few. I never paid any attention at the meetings beforehand so for the questions that required long answers were a complete mystery to me. I didn't know they'd ditched the written review. They just keep making stuff easier, like reducing the pioneer hours etc.

  My son is in love with a puzzle

  by mrsjones5 in

  2. friends

  yesterday i bought my son (he's 2, soon to be 3 tomorrow) a $1 puzzle of united states.

  i bought it because we have a much bigger floor puzzle of the us but it's too big for him to keep trying to put together, it gets in the way.

  he instantly fell in love with the puzzle.

  It just goes to show that expensive gifts are not a way to our children's hearts.
  
  It's the simple things they love.
