i only heard some sorts of musical instruments.
(although there were a few jw females i once knew who just happened to be wider than the shoulders in a place somewhat lower than the shoulders.
do you like females with huge butts?
Thank you Farkel, another gem in the vein of your past articles (visit to Beth Sarim, etc). You realize, I suppose, that you bear the heavy responsability of remaining the last storyteller on this site. Thanks, and carry on entertaining us in your abrasive way.
This is also a call to GaryBuss, who promissed a following to his Okies stories
i have 1 friend since leaving the borg.
1 friend who lives an hour away.
we talk through out the day, everyday but we only see each other about once a month.. i just found out my ex boyfriend who was trying to win me back and have me come back to him got a girl pregnant about a week or two after we broke up.
Hei, Jen,
if your departing from your husband has anything to do with the fact that he is still a JW and you are out, and provided you still have a measure of feeling for him, my opinion is that the difference is not worth breaking a marriage and you must not let a religion split your family.
this "news" is months late and i post it now simply because i don't want to let the moment slip by.
these are direct quotes from david pesch at the edmonton 2009 "keep on the watch" district convention.
they were startling enough for me to make notes verbatim.
It is the very first time I hear about JWs participating in the elimination of the wicked. We were more used to the Stand still and see the salvation of Jehovah discourse.
Once a friend of ours asked my, then, little daughter how Mum and Dad were looking. Mum is brown and Dad is pink she replied.
Hei, Grace,
I do hope you feel comfortable in your new place, is it that you had a repressed desire for bethel life ? Please don't take it bad, I'm just joking. I do wish you the best, with your family and friends around you.

you'd just never know it
I'm under the impression that someone, within battalions, must know, though

IMO, this general, as a former high ranking NATO officer, knows one thing or two about what is expected from a soldier for the purpose of active combat and he definitely thinks that "socialization" of the militaries doesn't obey the same logic as keeping them fit for war, which is after all what they are meant for.

having read a lot of threads on how difficult it can be to deal with parents who cannot understand why a child leaves the jw's etc, i decided to post about my mother.... mum joined the jw's in the early 70's.
she had 3 children, about 8,10 and 12. after divorce and remarriage she had two more (twins) when i was 15ish.
we three first children all left home, older brother d/f first, younger sister d/a years later and i left my wife and was d/f too.
Aussie, that's a very moving homage you are paying to your Mum, comes out from the heart. I wish you be able to open up and tell her. When I got married, I was thousands miles away from my non JW parents and I took this opportunity to write them a letter to thank them for what they had done for us, their children, I think they appreciated it. Out of decency, one often assumes that it goes without saying but it goes even better with saying it.
http://www.freeminds.org/blogs/musings-of-a-watchtower-insider/thousands-die-each-year.htm l. this blog article is solely my personal opinion, but i have tried to present important material for your consideration because i believe that one life lost to this blood-ban is one too many and there have too many deaths since 1945 and it's time something is done about it.
however you think on the subject, just wait until you read the conclusion of my blog article.
oh, by the way, all points of view are important to me and most welcome so i look forward to reading them here on jwn .
TD,
thank you for this information, like all statistics they have to be handled with caution. I won't criticize them since I know nothing in the matter. Still, I remember very well what we called in France the contaminated blood scandal, where stocks of HIV tainted blood, collected in prisons, had been wilfully sold because manufacturers convinced the political powers that the financial loss incured by destroying these stocks was unbearable. Didn't happen in Rutherford time, just in 1985, and I can't see any reason why it wouldn't occur again in poor countries where it is so easy to corrupt decision makers.
