it's been a while since this topic has been brought up.
use it as a chance to see if there is someone you might know from years past.
1973-1976 --- lakeside, ca??
I am getting a headache trying to remember the Borg bounced us around so much.
National City, California, 1961-68
San Diego, California, Orange Ave. 1968-1974
San Diego, California, Naranja St. 1974-1979

tell me what jeans mean to you?
your first pair?
your favourite pair?
Jeans don't have to be expensive, I bought my last pair for $10.99 (In 1969 dollars that would be about $1.96) at WalMart, they look like the one below at Macy's for $125.00.

what's your fav?.

"no smoking".... it defiles your body and goes against scripture.. so as a witness, when pushing this train of thought, did it ever occur to anyone that when ever you dug in to those fried eggs, bacon cheeseburgers, and gallons of icecream, you were doing the same exact thing?.
smoking over a long period of time can kill you.
eating artery congesting foods over a long period of time can kill you.
My excuse was you have to eat or you die. No one has to smoke. One or two cigarettes, it is probably no worse for you, than that double cheese burger. Doesn't the Bible saw moderation in all things. Yes, you are defiling your body if you eat too much and that you can not hide. We all need self-control.

the main split in christianity (between catholics and protestants) is the issue of who tells you what to do and how they tell you.
the catholic church has staked out the "chain of evidence" theory which is sacred tradition.
the church has all authority in faith and morals.. protestants (since martin luther) cling to the assertion that the bible alone can give instruction directly, or; sola scriptura.

this should be a proud and happy time in my life as a mom.
:( on top of everything else in my life these days...im in the process of planning a sweet sixteen party for my little girl for may 12, and my oldest son graduates from high school on may 18 followed by a party i am trying to have for him on may 26 followed by my daughter's four dance company recitals the weekend of june 1. also my youngest sons birthday is this sunday..... so...i spent days designing and mailing out gorgeous graduation invitations to everybody i know and all our wacked relatives.
i wrote to the jws in advance and asked if they would please put their differences aside for one night to celebrate my son's achievements.
there are probably alot of us using the small spiral shaped compact fluorescent lamps in our houses.
i did not realize they have mercury in them and can be a bit of problem if one breaks.
it is also illegal to dispose of them in our regular garbage cans.
There is more mercury released into the enviroment from the power plant generating the electricity to run your incandescent bulb, than in the fluorescent bulb.
I have compact fluorescent bulbs that bought in the late 1980s that are still in daily use.

a newssource today quotes singer sheryl crow, an anti-global warming (which i applaud) activist, "i propose a limitation be put on how many squares of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting.
now, i dont want to rob any law-abiding american of his or her god-given rights, but i think we are an industrious enough people that we can make it work with only one square per restroom visit, except, of course, on those pesky occasions where 2 to 3 could be required.".
not being a woman i don't know about that -- i have my doubts.
When I was about 5 years old, I aunt told me that you should never need more than 5 sheets of TP. I tried it didn't work and I disregarded those instructions. I will use what is required to get the job done, how much I use is nobodys business.

i am new to this forum, and am just starting to get over the guilt of reading posts here.
i was raised as a witness, was disfellowshipped last year.
all my brothers and sister left too, so my parents were devastated when i left, as i was the only one left going to meetings.
Welcome to JWD, I hope you find what you are looking for here.

i'm doing this well in advance so that all the wonderful people on jwd can look back later and see just how close they were to the actual number!
(it is possible the wts might stop publishing the partaker numbers) in a few days, i will duly record the link to this thread for future reference.. remember that there were 8524 partakers in 2005 and 8758 partakers in 2006, an increase of 234 partakers.
so how many remnant will partake in 2007??.
