if so, they probably won't come forward for a while, then when they do, they'll probably be dragged into the back room for a talk about how the dubs don't gamble, then the winner says he'll donate some, and of course all will be forgiven, then the dub may finally see the hypocrisy of the cult and denounce them on national tv as they hold up that big giant check for all to see!

my strange bethel courtship started with me trying to meet mike stillman's sister, even though he worked in the ink room next to my elevator, we were not good friends, he was just a little to "country" for me........and on the self-righteous side too.

they say "there is nothing more dangerous in combat then a new guy with a map!

".........well, there was nothing more dangerous at bethel then a self-righteous new boy.. .

new boy - when you got the call that your father in law killed himself, how did your wife react? Did she put on a strong "got what he deserved face" but you could tell she was hiding her true feelings?

THere was an article about him on NYTimes this weekend about his new album. His best performance, or one of his best I should say was when he was on Howard Sterns birthday show and did I'm Afraid of Americans. I"m going to see if that's on YouTube because it's totally genius.

If YOU had to make the decision, would you respect a JW relatives wish to refuse a blood transfusion?

by nicolaou in

a few years after i quit the meetings my mum needed her medical directive signed and witnessed and she asked if i'd do it.

i was surprised to say the least!.

i think she was just angling to include me and maybe find some lever to get me involved again.

ShirleyW

I ordered blood for my mother, I was appointed her legal Guardian.

WHat's funny is the day she was hooked up receiving it, some pompous sisters dropped by to visit, of course one reported to the elders and I got a phone call. Let's just say that elders ear was probably burning and ringing a long while after he hung up the phone from what I had to say to him.

You had to be down to earth and be able to "shuck and jive" with them...

Not a good phrase to use these days new boy.

i'm sure there's probably not, but on jwmatch, which i subscribe to for laughs, i got their usual email today saying they found the perfect match for me, he's in hawaii, i'm in nyc, he's 40 and i"m 18 years older, perfect so far, right?

anyway below is the first line of his narrative introducing himself.

i am disfellowshipped and likely won't be reinstated until i retire from the military in three years.

That certainly caught my eye, but then he writes so much more, I'll just share a few more sentences and you tell me if there's some new light about serving in the military or this guy needs some more studying with the most pompous elder available.

I'm looking for a woman that tries to put Jehovah first in her life

I try to keep Jehovah and forever in perspective when thinking about what could be possible. I'm working on building the strongest relationship possible with Jehovah before his great and fear inspiring day, and hope that I can be productive in helping people build a relationship with Him also!

Amazing how he hasn't forgotten Almighty Jah while voluntarily serving this country.

Does anyone own a Chromebook?

by Wonderment in

if so, are you satisfied?

ShirleyW

Believe it or not I was debating between that or just another HP Laptop, I was reading the reviews about Chromebook and they seemed pretty good, of course some had a few complaints, but I was soooo close to getting until I saw an HP laptop on sale for $259 last Monday so I went with that instead.

Something I read about Chrome book in the reviews was that they don't last very long? Maybe some folks just got the lemons that rolled out of factory, wonder if that's really true.
