by TopDog in

this is a great site, thank you to whoever started it.

i left the "truth" about 6 years ago and like many i still feel guilty about it.

my older brother lives in dominican republic, he moved there about 12 years ago to help where the need is greater.

Hell explained

by AgentSmith in

the following is supposedly an actual question given on a university of washington chemistry mid-term exam .

the answer by one student was so "profound" that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well.. .

bonus question: is hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?.

Too funny! By the way, thanks for the explanations in parenthesis! I never got to go to college and broaden my mind! Kitten Whiskers

Hey anonymouse, Boy, you've got spunk! I can see you know how to pick yourself and keep going. What a gift. Keep it up!

I've seen them and had a couple. A sister from another hall would compile all the information on the computer and then get ring bound copies made. Nice books. Made it super easy to take with you on vacation, doctor appointments,etc.

I found last year that a book binding company in Canada, i think, sold them for around US $16.00. The company specializes in rebinding old books and binding The Reasoning book and bible together, Leather binding songbooks, etc.

This was in the northern U.S. that I saw this. Many in surrounding congregations ordered them from others that were making them for around $20.00. You didn't have to bring so many books to meeting any more! What a load lifter! You would think the society would print them and reap the profits. It made so much sense to have them.

Respectfully yours,

Dear Swan,

I just want to thank you for sharing all you have. I gained alot from you being here while I was lurking especially. I almost went away too before joining. There is the pull to move on, but as mentioned, THIS IS A VERY ADDICTIVE BOARD.

Hope you enjoy the peace and contentment you have found. Again, thanks for helping me! ((hugs))

Campfire Ghost Stories and Jehovah's Witnesses

by The wanderer in

jw
friends

campfire ghost stories and jehovah's witnesses being in the organization there were always stories, rumors, and gossip.

that ran rampant throughout the congregations.

from time to time you.

What a thread! I forget some of things we heard!

I do remember when I was little hearing about two jws out in service. They go up to a house and it is full of dogs and cats. There may have been loud music playing, memory is fuzzy. Don't remember much other than apparently a dog came walking on its hind legs to answer the door and started talking.

Also, a married couple of jws are driving to their house and see a couple going in that looked just like them (you know, demons taken on human form). Even had the same car at they drove.

Another, an old sister in service at door by herself. Criminal answers door. Sister gives presentation and he doesn't harm her. Police ask him later why he didn't and he answered, "well, she had a huge man standing next to her" .

Smurfs: Apparently a jw father took one outside and put it in a burning barrell to burn it but couldn't set it on fire. It got up, climbed out of the barrell and walked away.

I heard most of them when I was 10 years old or so. Hard to remember them all.Hope this helps!

i have a great neighbor who has always looked out for us and sent over very expensive pet food at no cost because she is in the business.. she has been a great neighbor all around for many years.

her daughter and my son are very good friends.. just this week she asked my son to take care of her pets.

he went surfing today and asked me to cover.. when i went over i was so alarmed, and came back so depressed i do not know what to do.. it is an 800 square foot house with 2 dogs, must be 8 fish tanks full of turtles, a cat,and a parrot sitting in a dusty cage in the dark.

Hi Restrangled. I don't know what to tell you. My grandmother is a pack rat. She has a small house and has always had at least one dog. There is barely a pathway to walk through she has so much junk!!! She cannot walk in to a room without having to twist your body to conform to the small spaces to walk. She has even injured herself falling over it. Before my grandpa died, she had to move a bunch of stuff so they could walk down a four foot long hallway to get to him. But this is her. When she had a bird, a pigeon she nursed back to health, it flew all over the place and pooped on everything. Including our hair. GROSS GROSS GROSS Her home is her business. Most family will not visit her because of it. There is seating, but always covered with junk, so it is hard to visit her with 2 or more people at a time. Maybe your friend lets her bird out to fly freely when she is at home. Her home is her haven, even if you are repulsed. My grandma loves her animals. She will alter her life to care for them. Left my sisters wedding reception early to get home to take care of the dogs. But I loved going there as a child. And she has a way with animals. Your neighbor must too if they are all healthy. I understand your recoiling at her home. If I had never seen my grandma's growing up, I couldn't believe people live like that. To each his own. All I know is my parents dread the day they will have to clean it up when she is gone. But she is happy. Her animals are her social life. Hope this helps. Kitten Whiskers
