  Oh that looks sooooooooo good! Yummy!
  
  I love the china too! I had a small bowl of it I had purchased from a sale. I kept my butter in it.I loved it, but it broke! Your table looks so pretty with the linen too! I've never tried a crab apple pie. I bet it's good! It makes me think it must have a tangy taste, like rhubarb pie.
  
  I miss the apples from the north! We're from Michigan and always went to our favorite orchard. There are no apples like those grown in the north where the cool crisp nights work their magic!
  
  Enjoy the fruit of your labor!!!!!

  Here are two scriptures I couldn't shake. They made me question the way we as jw's were taught. They helped me leave.
  
  Matthew 18:20
  Jesus said,"Where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them."
  
  Hebrews 5:9
  Once made perfect, (Christ) became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him.
  
  Jesus is there for us. The slant we were taught on these scriptures doesn't match the spirit of these scriptures. He is with any two or three, not just jw. He is the source of salvation to all who obey. Not for only those who are jw's, and following their rules. There are so many people out there who genuinely love God and worship him and live their lives according to the bible. The songs that praise him and mention him in the country music I like to listen to, always made me realize how heartfelt these "worldly" people felt. How was that wrong? It's not. Their faith is real and I loved to listen to it. I hope this helps. Don't do anything crazy, like going to the k. hall.

  Employers to Fire Illegals

  by skeeter1 in

  1. social
  2. current

  employers check potential employees documents (social security card, etc) when hiring a new person.

  illegals use bad social security & other documents.

  many times, it is stolen information.. employers get a "no match" letter.

  This is a problem that really bothers me. There are so many ways that they are being catered to. The schools provide translators, they have to learn english in class (slowing down the teachers and other students progress), they are given health care our own citizens are denied and stealing identities.
  
  There are so many down here, I am starting to wonder if my great-grandchildren will be speaking spanish instead of english!!! It feels like an invasion and it makes me mad to see them waiting in the parking lots of stores that cater to them, to be picked up to work "cash under the table". They are stealing from us and not following the law. We couldn't go to another country and expect to disobey the laws and find a reward for it. Why shouldn't they be brought to justice? It was their decision to break the law willingly. If their children suffer by being removed from school and sent back to their parents homeland, that is the parents fault. They made the decisions and must face the consequences of their actions.
  
  Americans have pulled together before to keep this country going in times of war (food rations, gas rations, victory gardens, etc...). It may be our turn to pull together like our grandparents and great-grandparents did to hold onto our values and livelyhood.

  Omg! You poor dear! God's people will suffer unjustly for righteousness sake!
  
  
  Did you have the most tatoos of anyone there? I am so sorry you had such a terrible experience. I too believe you lead a life that has no room for boredom! I am also very glad you have so many family here that you know care about you.
  
  
  LOL at Mouthy! Should've called Granny! Her little boys and girls can do no wrong in her loving eyes! She probably would have brought a rolling pin to knock anyone out who disagreed with her! She is too cute! I loved her post to you!

  Lurking has its faults

  by RisingEagle in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've been researching prior postings gathering info but mostly reading because i've been 'out' for almost 14 years.

  i still have numerous relatives that are still 'in' and when we get together those still in seem to get a sort of kick out of discussing super double secret goings on with 'new light' and changes in the cult.

  it's been fun to be able to say, "oh you mean the change in length of the sunday talk?

  Let's make JW-friendly greeting cards...

  by exwitless in

  1. social
  2. humour

  did you ever think about the fact that when you were a dub, it was pointless to buy a box of all occasion greeting cards?

  it annoyed the heck out of me, because you couldn't use the ones for birthdays or most of the sympathy cards (because they often said "lord" or "god" in them).

  so what would a box of jw greeting cards contain?.

  exwitless,
  
  That is hilarious! I so remember feeling that way. There would be the cutest cards, but by the time you figured the price after throwing away the ones forbidden, it was ridiculous!
  
  I love the ones you came up with. I think you are very funny! Don't sell yourself short, you are very witty! I can't think of anything myself right now, I have 4 kids running around the house and can't hardly think to type straight! Oh I got one:
  
  For the one accepted to Bethel: Congratulations on your new job! Isn't it great to move down several tax brackets?
