I am against it. It is violation of my rights. Why should I have to be stopped and searched if I am innocent? I think too much is being socialized in this country. We should not be stopped and searched without cause and fyi I do not drink and drive and have never received a dui. But I resent having to wait in line and be treated like a suspect without reason!

What were your seating habits at the hall?
by JH ini would always leave a space between me and someone else.
i hated when someone was seated right next to me.
didn't feel comfortable.. i also loved sitting in back of a tall person, that would hide everything, like that i could close my eyes and the speaker wouldn't notice.....lol.

Look really at her face and eyes. If she looks sideways and laughs or gets nervous, she likes you. If she looks down or away and has a half smile, she is trying to nicely tell you no.

A funny JW gambling story

I have to tell a funny gambling story. I love to gamble, but have slowed and stopped recently because it has hurt me. But here is the story. I used to go and gamble a lot. On several occasions I saw an elder (I believe he is an elder but maybe just a well respected older JW) and his wife in this gambling town. Now there is not a lot to do in this particular town but gamble. So for the first several times I saw them his wife would tell me "we are not here to gamble but have this or that business deal to do". I knew better.
One day, I went to my favorite little ghost town casino, put a few dollars in to start playing, tipped my chair up to my machine with my bottle of water propped on my machine, then went to the bar to get me a glass of wine. When I came back, here was this Sister of the brother or maybe I think Elder sitting at my machine playing. I cheefrully said hello ..... She looked at me and said "oh hi, I came up here with .... (hubby) to finish the ...deal, we are not gambling. I said, oh ok, but you just played my $5. She gave it back to me.
Several times since I have seen both playing the machines, little amounts, I give in to that. But they always tell me why they are not gambling. I like them. They have always been nice to me. I feel sorry for Mr. because he is so embarrassed each time. I don't really care. But I remember once my Mom told me that it made MR. feel sick that wasn't active anymore. It makes me laugh and makes me sad because they are nice people and I don't think they are doing so wrong but they are in such denial. They both are actually very fun. Believe it or not, I originally met them in a little bar. But I feel they can't just be fun and happy because of an act. Just sharing tonight.

Hi, I have a problem with drinking. maybe it is more with depression. Has anyone out there been able to conquer this without the whole institution, 6 week program? I don't really want to check myself into a clinic but feel like I am kiiling myself in the meantime. How did you stop or make it moderate on your own. Feedback very appreciated.

Newbie needs help
by Kaytam ini have been depressed, drinking and just got myself in a mess.
i know i can pull out of it, but feel that spirituality is important to me.
i don't believe the witnesses are the answer and will just add to my problems.

If I could just move past the thoughts that it is wrong to go to another church or organization.

Hi, I need some help here, if possible. I have been depressed, drinking and just got myself in a mess. I know I can pull out of it, but feel that Spirituality is important to me. I don't believe the Witnesses are the answer and will just add to my problems. I have been wanting to go to a Church that was recommended to me by some clients. It seems really upbeat and fun and may just be the answer to help me. I guess the service is less than two hours half consisting of singing along with a live modern Christian band. This really sounds like something I could enjoy. Here is what I can't overcome...every Saturday I decide I am going to get up and go Sunday, but then I just can't make myself, because I think what if this really is wrong or the unforgivable sin, etc. etc. I have also just thought about getting a second and part time job to fill my time, but my current full time job is not really predictable and what ever part time job I got would pretty much have to let me be very flexible. I feel getting involved in a Christian Church would be my best answer but just can't do it. Has anyone out there overcome these feelings and how? Thanks for any input.

What Did You LOVE About Being a Jehovah's Witness?

I loved the breaks during field service. Hot donuts, coffee chatting away. I liked riding around doing return visits on cold mornings, because mostly nobody was home and it was just social hour. I liked compliments on my talks and dressing up...and wearing slits as high up as I could. I felt kind of naughty lol. My Mom used to pin the slits low then I would go to the bathroom when she wasn't looking, take the safety pin out and cross my legs with the side slit riding way up, then swing my legs. I loved that. My little rebel side. lol

letter about relying on bookstudy
by Kaytam inbeen out for a while and still a little confused.
i was just told that a letter was read at this week's service meeting saying that witnesses should be prepared to rely on their bookstudy groups.
natural disasters were mentioned and i guess some folks are feeling that this is due to approaching persecution and banning.

thanks all. Just read the thread from Allen F about knocking. It reminded me of the first times I started researching. It is so easy to doubt oneself when you hear about things like this letter and still have family in. Then you read that post and you remember why you first made the decision that you should leave. If anyone has not read that thread, they should
