I wish my area was a cold calling exculsion zone. Someone is always trying to sell me the tribune or get me to buy candy bars for some lame school activity (drama, soccer, basketball, debate team). Enough already!

Interesting, I wonder if this will apply to JW's too?
by BritBoy incold calling exclusion zones are springing up across the uk as householders try to deter door-to-door callers, including the latest strain of doorstep "seller" - the charity fundraiser.. the town centre has become their roaming ground, but lately, or so it seems, those insistent young fundraisers known to many as chuggers - charity muggers - have moved from high street to side street..... .

I guess I finally have seen the light thanks to yall
by hambeak inwhen i found this forum i was skeptical, even a few of my topics may have been a bit biting, but i have learned a lot.
after 33 years in the org.
and swallowing everything hook line and sinker for absolute gospel and feeling dirty over nothing wrong.

Isaiah I:18- It goes something like " Come and let us make matters straight, say's Jehovah. Although your sins are scarlet they will become white like snow, though crimson they shall be like wool - something like that. That's a favorite of mines. Everytime I felt down and out about meeting up to all the WTS rules, I'd read that.

Ditto Material Boy... I can't even watch a scary movie still, I'm so scared still.
Also skirt length. I've seen many skirts and skirt suits that were just fine, but because they did not go below my knee when sitting, I was always made to feel like a big sinner or immoral for wearing them. Oh and having to wear nylons all the freakiing time!

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 incomments 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.

Why do you move around so much?
I hear Arizona has great weather. Hot, but dry heat.
