Hey Simon
by ShirleyW ini'm noticing that when i open quite a few of the posts here i notice that the end of the sentences on some lines are breaking improperly.
like for the word paragraph, it's broken up with the "aph" on the next line for an example.
it's happening a lot i'm seeing it just about in every post i open, is it just my view and my computer?.

Remember when you could wear casual clothes to the congregation book study?
by RULES & REGULATIONS ini would get home from work,eat dinner,shower and put on jeans,a shirt and gym shoes to the book study.
then,one day a letter was read where men would need to wear a suit and tie and the woman would have to wear dresses.
it was stated in a letter that the change was due to, '' giving a better witness to anyone who would watch us walking into our local congregation or a neighbor's house.''.

Well, like i said, must be a regional thing since the Dubs are never on the same page anyway. What part of the country are you. I know that some brothers are allowed to have mustaches and close cropped beard in the western part of the country.

Tiki - Does you mom still think she's living in the new Paradise?
That's funny how they always preach doom and gloom is just around the corner, but if you ask them about the scripture that says "no man knows the day or hour" they agree with that too!! These folks need to wake up and listen to how they talk out of both sides of their mouths, but we know that will never happen.

Well, I haven't been to a meeting since the 1980's so, I guess after then the brothers started wearing jeans and sneakers. I can't really imagine that being OK by the elders anyway to wear that to a meeting even if it's not at the KH, maybe it's a regional thing where the brothers could dress like that, sound like west coast, California thinking to me.

America Mass Shooting: 10/1/2015
by adjusted knowledge insince this will be the norm in america, perhaps we should put a date on each of these topics.
can't really put school mass shooting because too many to choose from.

On another note, we know what kind of presentation the Dubs will be presenting this weekend as they go door to door or work the trolleys.

Do you really think you'll hear back from addressing the questions you ask? if you do hear from them it will be via a brother from the congregation you attended asking if you want to study.

S*** JW Parents Say
by Dissonant15 inmy mom especially had some go-to phrases that to this day echo in my head and piss me off.
things like, .
"don't get mad at me for enforcing the rules, because jehovah made them, so if you don't like it, you're disrespecting him.

The only education you need is in the Watchtower and Awake magazine!
Sounds like something my mother would've said, can't believe she didn't,then I would've said why do I have to go to school then?
"bad associations spoil useful habits".
Now this one my mother said ALL THE TIME !! However didn't have the effect she wanted !!

If you don't enjoy working with the public choose another career.
by James Mixon ini'am sure you have come across someone with that type of personality, working in sales, clerk, waitress or waiter.
most are nice but once in a while you come across that person that needs to choose a different career.. this morning i met that person, she just screwed up my day.
i'm thinking maybe her day wasn't a good start,a fight with her husband, bills or children but don't screw up my day.

She said the total was 2o.85 and you gave her 21.00 sounds like you heard her say 20.85 the first time, you gave her the correct amount to begin with,
