  To be honest, the price of gas doesn't really bother me.....its nice when its cheap, but its not that much more when its not.....5 bucks here, 10 bucks there....milk is more expensive.

  `Finished Mystery' 1918 edition sells for $61 on Ebay

  this recently concluded sale on ebay prompted a question on nature of the secondary or ``collectors'" market for old and out-of-print wt literature.

  apparently, it's become a fairly well-established collecting speciality.

  as do collectors in the more established collectible sectors of, say, coins and postage stamps, one would imagine that in time the players would sort out issues relating to ``fair market values" of the various old books and other material, their relative rarity, etc., and that collectors guides, reference sources or price lists would begin to turn up.

  i just told them where i work as a volunteer, that i am going to a workshop for those that have left a cult tomorrow.

  they were all fascinated and wanted to know which cult i had belonged to.

  i said jw's and this one guy said i he used to be one of them.

  inactive or weak ones sometimes are the worst people to deal with, because the guilt level they have inside is so great, the are actually in some cases MORE annoying than JW's....

  However, I don't think the argument that "The WTS has a hold still" is valid, because I think they have a hold on all of us....whether you believe that or not. We are posting here bitching about them....seems like they have a hold in even little ways still.

  Prats with microphones

  by Jonty Parkin in

  in your congregation, did you ever have macho-wannabes on the microphones, strutting up and down the aisles handling the mikes as though they were aka assault rifles?.

  we had a few tossers like this.

  in fact, i might even have been one of them.... jonty

  It used to drive me nuts how they thought doing the mics was such a privelege....I hated when I was on the schedule. I was once removed mid-Watchtower because my suit jacket did not match my pants....i think it was tan pants / black jacket type thing. We also received a written instruction sheet on how to handle mics.....pretty bizarre actually.

  This site has been the most incredible help to me-UNTIL TODAY

  by ohiocowboy in

  2. bible

  reading through some of the recent posts, ie; the topic of lazarus and the gay issue, i was flabbergasted at what i was reading.

  i can't believe-well maybe i can, that some people on this site are calling gay people "faggots", and telling that person that they are going to get "what sodom and gomorrah got".. this site has been a godsend to me, and have been telling my friends how nice it is to be in with a group of people who can relate to my life, my feelings, my insecurities, and my fears relating to the org.

  and not being a part of it anymore.

  I think the people who are prejudiced against gay people - whether on this site or not - have serious issues. I wouldn't classify the whole site as anti gay or anything like that....some of us are actually open minded....most of us actually.
