Candidilynuts... they don't grade anymore. Last I heard. Well I'm glad they didn't stop before my brother joined the school. If they had, my 7yr old brother wouldn't have been told to try again on his stupid bible reading part twice. He might not have been so discouraged and would have never decided to never try again. And might actually be a witness. - God Forbid.

Editted to say he wouldn't have been told PUBLICLLY to try again on his stupid bible reading part twice! Yeah humilating a 7yr is real cool. And no they did not show alot of tack and loving kindness. It still pisses me andmy mom off to this day, but she say's Jehovah will hand it it. Whatever!

Comments You Will Not Hear at the 9-17-06 WT Study (BE HAPPY)

by blondie in

comments you will not hear at the 09-17-06 wt study (august 1, 2006, pages 26-29)(be happy).

(1 timothy 2:5) for there is one god, and one mediator between god and men, a man, christ jesus?.

despite his busy schedule, paul was always eager to do more in jehovah?s service.. notice how using an ot example leaves jesus out of the picture.. [picture on page 29] fear of god is a precious heritage that parents can pass on to their children.

What does OT stand for

Why do you move around so much?

I hear Arizona has great weather. Hot, but dry heat.

i used to let the jehovah's witness in week to week!

i used to enjoy my studies and take it all in,they used to be there hours talking to me, they was wanting me to go to the kingdom hall i was not ready to make that step, but was very close to giving my life to jehovah's witness!then one night i decided to go out for a few drinks with my friends.

and tragically on my way home i was attacked and raped.

earthtone

Welcome Paula

I'm so sorry to hear about your tragic experience. I don't understand why they would not give you time to heal! I'm glad that in the end you no longer talk to them.

Blondie, That looks like the whole reasoning book! lol

I didn't say anthing stupid but something stupid happened.

I am embarrassed to admit when I was younger (early teens) I was almost never prepared for conversation at the door and regularly winged it. I would stand there and pray that no one would come to the door.

Well one time I decide to just pretend to ring all the doors with doorbells when it was my turn. While the lady I was working with kept getting people answering the door. No one of course answered mines. So I go to this door and ring the bell (pretended), just as we are about to walk away. This lady walks out the door (silently I'm screaming) to leave. And my partner explains how she's she came to talk to her even though she's on her way out. The householder looks kinda confused and is like excuse me? So my partner's like yes we came to talk about blah blah blah. And the householders looking like I have to go. So finally my partner get's it that the lady is leaving and was not coming to talk to her. And then my partner, embarrassed say's I'm sorry we thought you were coming to talk to us. We rung your doorbell. The householder say," You didn't ring my doorbell" and then press it to see if it's working and ... ding dong. The loudest bell I ever heard. I wanted to crawl under the porch.

All white girls are.........

by Gill in

friends

my daughter has been 'going out' with a black gentleman for the last year.

they are very much in love by the looks of things and have long term plans.. however, opposition has recently come from somewhere i did not expect.

it turns out that he has been very upset with his mother since she made several unpleasant remarks to him.

earthtone

Your right Gill. I think her feelings probably stem from bad treatment from white's in her native country. It will be hard for her to see the difference without actually meeting a white person who treats her nice. I'm sorry that this is happening for them. I firmly believe you should be with who you love and treats you good, no matter what race they are.

I hope that his mother changes her mind.
