What was your favorite Beatles song that you remember ?

by thetrueone in

jw

for myself growing up in the 60's it was mostly the beatles that drew my attention as well as many others.. as for the entire body of work by them, there might never be another four piece musical group like them.. sad to think that the younger generation today only has thug rap/hip hop trash or britney spears to listen to.. the quality of music may have diminished itself when it started to become more of a visual expression of art rather than .

purely audio form of entertainment.. just one of my favorites out of many.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfrk4ca0dlg&feature=related.

Outlaw, hee hee hee

Times are tough, so I didn't leave the tip.

Our Newspaper company sent an insert letting us know who are delivery person was....and that they work very hard. It kind of ticked me off.

Do you tip these workers? I didn't know what to do. My Yard guy has been great, and I have given him a few tips throughout the year. Today was his last lawn day before Christmas. I asked several people and no one had an answer.

He left a nice Card from his family, now I feel bad that I didn't give him a little extra.

So do you tip all these people, and what percentage?

Do dubs intentionally mess up other people's holidays/birthdays?

by rebel8 in

mine does.

goes way out of her way to stir up trouble, conflict, and manipulate the former and non-dub relatives into not having a nice holiday.

goes to extremes to do so, and is at it again, right on cue..

restrangled

I knew a lot of dubs that took special joy in disrupting the holidays. (We know they'll be home) etc. etc.

Thankfully, my parents always thought it was out of the question to go door to door on those days.

Apostate Brainstorming Session

by AllTimeJeff in

i have been meaning to bring this up for a long time.. sometimes, i think we (former jw's) who are very rightly concerned about all the lies of the governing body have some great ideas about how to expose jehovah's witnesses.. some of us have very passionate and distinct ideas.

not a few of us have websites with our own personalities evident.. i don't wish this to get personal.

even if i disagree with some presentations or rhetoric of some, i know that it is sincere.

Jeff, I think you are correct in thinking that it is based on a slow demise:

I do think that information needs to be continually put out to expose JW's. I am at a loss as to the best way. I truly don't believe, cynical as this sounds, that the public at large cares about the demise of Jehovah's Witnesses. They figured out JW's were nuts well before us. We are just catching up. So imo, to depend on the public's help in a groundswell of support, without a tsunami size scandal to help, is not realistic.
It just needs to be a quiet infiltration of information and experiences. You are correct, the public at large could give a rat's axx. As time goes on, more and more witnesses research, despite orders not to, find their way out. That's why this forum is so important. Look at the new members since it started.
