  years ago, when i was studying with the witnesses, my bible studty conductor's sister in ohio died.

  of cancer as i recall.

  so he flew back to ohio ( from san diego ) to be with his family .

  Navytown you ask if anyone else has heard a Dub make similar comments as to whether someone who died was a JW, where do I begin with how many instances I (and everyone else hear I'm sure) has heard that.

  I'll share the Sept 11 story with you, a sister who used to be my hairdresser told me the next week after it happened when I had a appt with her, we started talking about the events of that day and she said "it's been confirmed that 8 JWs were in the Towers and lost their lives". Well, I don't know how accurate she was but, ummm, no sympathy for the other thousand of folks, just the blind followers of seven old guys in Brooklyn.

  And yeah, one of the main reasons I don't go to her anymore is I couldn't take hearing her JW customers talking about how the JWs are such a busy people, and discussing who goes to this Cong now and who has talk coming up and all that !

  Oh, so now the Dubs are saying those that commit suicide will now have everlasting life? I remember when they said that was a definite no-no, no everlasting life you if you take your own life, when did this new light come about?

  i like so many americans left my parent's house as soon as i could (age 19).

  i would see them maybe one or two times a year for the next ten years.

  when i hit thirty and got married it was even less frequent.

  Shark Navigator Lift-away vs Dyson

  2. family

  i already have a dyson, but we have three floors in our house, and i don't like carrying it up and down stairs...it's so heavy (bad back).

  just saw a sale at costco for the shark for $119...a lot cheaper than dyson.

  anybody have an opinion if you think it's worth it as a second vacuum..

  Just don't get an Oreck !!

  Altough mines lasted for nine years the thingy that spiins the brush around had to be repaired two or three times, plus there was no lock to keep it standing upright, so it would hit the floor and crack on the bottom.

  I got a Hoover earlier this year that puts Oreck to shame, it's advetised as being good for picking up pet hair, i have no pets, but this thing puts Oreck to shame, I get those lines on the carpet like you can tell it's just been vacuumed everytime I use it, with the Oreck I only got that when it came back from the repair shop after getting rehauled and after first or second use they disappeared.

  The main thing that really sold me on it was it uses bags, I don't care for these bagless vacuums, I ordered one on QVC but sent it back because the emptying I thought was just too messy, that when I made the mistake of getting the Oreck nine years, because it uses bags.

  So how did they find these talented singers in the Borg since the elders always like to put an end to such fun as Cong picnincs, gatherings and such?

  I'm another person questioning the age limit, an older person can give even more insight as to how wacky the Dub rules are, maybe you might want to point that out to the young person with a job that pointed that out to you

  So five and six year old are getting dunked now? Just brings to mind how my uberDub Mom used to mock Christendom and how they baptize infants, saying how can a baby dedicate their life to God? Well they certainly can't, just like a 5 and 6 year old can't

  Watchtower Tells Us "Employers Seek JWs Only" Yet Most JW Employers Avoid Hiring JWs, Why?

  by BucketShopBill in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  here's a thought: we're told over and over how employers sing the praises of their jw employees, sometimes with a vague quote about how 'if we could only hire jws, we would as they are so honest'.

  however, while some jw employers themselves may hire jw employees (usually cheap entry level positions), most don't.

  in fact, many jw's in general who have businesses have a rule not to do work with jws, even those in their congregation.

  A bro in our Cong used to do painting, plumbing, just about everything as a side job. So a sister hired him to do some work in her home and of course since he's a brother you can leave them in the house and go about your business. The sister came home a bit early and found him asleep on her bed.
