Where are you on the map? New Maps
by Lady Lee inok there are so many americans on the map now i had to split you all in half.. valis was kind enough to let me place the maps on his website until i found a new home for them.. photobucket seems to be a good option - at least for now.
so i have uploaded the new maps which have been updated to include everyone who has asked.. so if you were wondering where we are from.
or how close you are to other jwd posters in your area just take a look.

Do Your Witness Relatives Want You To Be Happy?
by Englishman inor do they want the world to fall in around your ears so that you might "turn back to jehovah"?.
do they think that if you had less happiness in life you would be driven back?.
my mum once exclaimed very bitterly that i had "landed on my feet" too many times and that i would probably have been back at the kh if things hadn't gone so well in my life.. englishman.

Hey y'all. Jill and I will try to make it. Jill's brother is dying of cirrohis of the liver, Hepatitis C and his last remaining kidney is no longer working so the family is on hospital alert. He's only 49, poor sod. PS Pinadas are fine by me, but I'm lame duck at the brewery now so my opinion doesn't count, actually I'm not that sure it ever did - but the first round of drinks are on me if we make it!

Tired? When will you stop talking about Jehovah's Witnesses?
by Joker10 inanybody would agree that talking about jehovah's witnesses over and over, and then over some more can get anybody tired and sick.
except, of course, those who are obsessed over them.
don't you think there will be a point when you won't talk or even mumble about jehovah's witnesses?

Good question. I must be obsessed with it. But my wife and kids have let it go, in fact they are rarely interested. I was in for 18 years, a convert. This is my 6th year out and I still am interested in talking about it. And I do have a job and other interests so it's not like I have tons of time on my hands. I guess being an XJW is a hobby.

What little things used to excite you as a JW?
by doodle-v ini would get excited when i was younger and would study the watchtower and see that this weeks study only had 19 paragraphs.
(made the study seem shorter,lol).
when a meeting would get canceled because of snow (which was rare) and i would get to stay home and watch a cheers or the cosby show.

I used to get "excited" when the PO would go to the podium during announcements, it meant someone "made" servant or pioneer, ..... or disfellowhipped. I think that's sick, but I hope I am not the only one "excited" by that.

Nah, can't claim authorship. I was looking for DubJokes and found it. I don't seem to be able to format my posts properly, they come in one lump - like drinking the contents of a spittoon. There was another JW one I saw, "Shit happens after Armageddon".

Apparently in the US it's a $12 billion business, and the number 2 crop in Oregon. So let's legalize it and tax it. Then we should tax religion and in the case of unpaid salespeople for relgious publishing empires tax those firms (eg the Watchtower) for social security (pension) funding and with the rest of the dough pay to end the war in Iraq and we can all get on with our lives.
